Calculation of heat transfer accompanying hypersonic three-dimensional flow of air over slender blunt-nosed cones

The effective length method [1, 2] has been used to make systematic calculations of the heat transfer for laminar and turbulent boundary layers on slender blunt-nosed cones at small angles of attack ( + 5° in a separationless hypersonic air stream dissociating in equilibrium (half-angles of the cones 0 20°, angles of attack 0 15°, Mach numbers 5 M 25). The parameters of the gas at the outer edge of the boundary layer were taken equal to the inviscid parameters on the surface of the cones. Analysis of the results leads to simple approximate dependences for the heat transfer coefficients.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 5, pp. 173–177, September–October, 1981.     

Determination of permeability tensors for two-phase flow in homogeneous porous media: Theory

In this paper we continue previous studies of the closure problem for two-phase flow in homogeneous porous media, and we show how the closure problem can be transformed to a pair of Stokes-like boundary-value problems in terms of pressures that have units of length and velocities that have units of length squared. These are essentially geometrical boundary value problems that are used to calculate the four permeability tensors that appear in the volume averaged Stokes' equations. To determine the geometry associated with the closure problem, one needs to solve the physical problem; however, the closure problem can be solved using the same algorithm used to solve the physical problem, thus the entire procedure can be accomplished with a single numerical code.Nomenclature a a vector that maps V onto , m^-1. - A a tensor that maps V onto . - A area of the - interface contained within the macroscopic region, m². - A area of the -phase entrances and exits contained within the macroscopic region, m². - A area of the - interface contained within the averaging volume, m². - A area of the -phase entrances and exits contained within the averaging volume, m². - Bo Bond number (= (=(–)g²/). - Ca capillary number (= v/). - g gravitational acceleration, m/s². - H mean curvature, m^-1. - I unit tensor. - permeability tensor for the -phase, m². - viscous drag tensor that maps V onto V. - ^* dominant permeability tensor that maps onto v , m². - ^* coupling permeability tensor that maps onto v , m². - characteristic length scale for the -phase, m. - l characteristic length scale representing both and , m. - L characteristic length scale for volume averaged quantities, m. - n unit normal vector directed from the -phase toward the -phase. - n unit normal vector representing both n and n . - n unit normal vector representing both n and n . - P pressure in the -phase, N/m². - p superficial average pressure in the -phase, N/m². - p intrinsic average pressure in the -phase, N/m². - p –p , spatial deviation pressure for the -phase, N/m². - r ₀ radius of the averaging volume, m. - r position vector, m. - t time, s. - v fluid velocity in the -phase, m/s. - v superficial average velocity in the -phase, m/s. - v intrinsic average velocity in the -phase, m/s. - v –v , spatial deviation velocity in the -phase, m/s. - V volume of the -phase contained within the averaging volmue, m³. - averaging volume, m³.

The drag coefficient for bubbles with mobile or immobile interface rising in shear-thinning elastic fluids described by an Ellis or a Carreau model is discussed.

On the influence of transvers-curvature and density in inhomogeneous turbulent free jets

The prediction of turbulent flows based on the k- model is extended to include the influence of transverse-curvature and density on the turbulent transport mechanisms. The empirical constants involved are adjusted such that the best agreement between predictions and experimental results is obtained. Using a transformation the boundary layer equations are solved numerically by means of a finite difference method of Hermitian type. The extended model is applied to predict the axisymmetric jet with variable density. The results of the calculations are in agreement with measurements.

Heat conduction in a cylinder crossed by an electric current with skin effect

The steady periodic temperature distribution in an infinitely long solid cylinder crossed by an alternating current is evaluated. First, the time dependent and non-uniform power generated per unit volume by Joule effect within the cylinder is determined. Then, the dimensionless temperature distribution is obtained by analytical methods in steady periodic regime. Dimensionless tables which yield the amplitude and the phase of temperature oscillations both on the axis and on the surface of copper or nichrome cylindrical electric resistors are presented.

Calculation of the pressure on the side surface of bodies consisting of a spherical segment joined to an inverted cone in a supersonic stream

The results of investigations of inviscid flow over inverted cones with nose consisting of a spherical segment were published for the first time in Soviet literature in [1–4]. In the present paper, a numerical solution to this problem is obtained using the improved algorithms of [5, 6], which have proved themselves well in problems of exterior flow over surfaces with positive angles of inclination to the oncoming flow. It is shown that the Mach number 2 M , equilibrium and nonequilibrium physicochemical transformations in air (H = 60 km, V = 7.4 km/sec, R₀ = 1 m), and the angle of attack 0 40° influence the investigated pressure distributions. A comparison of the results of the calculations with drainage experiments for M = 6, = 0-25° confirms the extended region of applicability of the developed numerical methods. Also proposed is a simple correlation of the dependence on the Mach number in the range 1.5 M of the shape of the shock wave near a sphere in a stream of ideal gas with adiabatic exponent = 1.4.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 178–183, January–February, 1981.     

Existence of fast traveling waves for some parabolic equations: A dynamical systems approach

We study semilinear elliptic equationsu + cu _x =f(u,u) and ² u + cu _x =f(u,u, ² u) in infinite cylinders (x,y) × ⁿ⁺¹ using methods from dynamical systems theory. We construct invariant manifolds, which contain the set of bounded solutions and then study a singular limitc, where the equations change type from elliptic to parabolic. In particular we show that on the invariant manifolds, the elliptic equation generates a smooth dynamical system, which converges to the dynamical system generated by the parabolic limit equation. Our results imply the existence of fast traveling waves for equations like a viscous reactive 2d-Burgers equation or the Cahn-Hillard equation in infinite strips.     

Hydrodynamic models as applied to the investigation of magnetic plasma stability

In the present paper magnetohydrodynamic models are employed to investigate the stability of an inhomogeneous magnetic plasma with respect to perturbations in which the electric field may be regarded as a potential field (rot E 0). A hydrodynamic model, actually an extension of the well-known Chew-Goldberg er-Low model [1], is used to investigate motions transverse to a strong magnetic field in a collisionless plasma. The total viscous stress tensor is given; this includes, together with magnetic viscosity, the so-called inertial viscosity.Ordinary two-fluid hydrodynamics is used in the case of strong collisions=. It is shown that the collisional viscosity leads to flute-type instability in the case when, collisions being neglected, the flute mode is stabilized by a finite Larmor radius. A treatment is also given of the case when epithermal high-frequency oscillations (not leading immediately to anomalous diffusion) cause instability in the low-frequency (drift) oscillations in a manner similar to the collisional electron viscosity, leading to anomalous diffusion.Notation f particle distribution function - E electric field component - H₀ magnetic field - density - V particle velocity - e charge - m, M electron and ion mass - _i, _e ion and electron cyclotron frequencies - viscous stress tensor - P pressure - r_i Larmor radius - P pressure tensor - t time - frequency - T temperature - collision frequency - collision time - j current density - _i, _e ion and electron drift frequencies - k_x, k_y, k_z wave-vector components - n₀ particle density - g acceleration due to gravity.

Uniqueness and the maximum principle for quasilinear elliptic equations with quadratic growth conditions

In this paper, we show that the maximum principle holds for quasilinear elliptic equations with quadratic growth under general structure conditions.Two typical particular cases of our results are the following. On one hand, we prove that the equation (1) {ie77-01} where {ie77-02} and {ie77-03} satisfies the maximum principle for solutions in H ¹()L(), i.e., that two solutions u ₁, u ₂H¹() L() of (1) such that u ₁u₂ on , satisfy u ₁u₂ in . This implies in particular the uniqueness of the solution of (1) in H ₀ ¹ ()L().On the other hand, we prove that the equation (2) {ie77-04} where fH^–1() and g(u)>0, g(0)=0, satisfies the maximum principle for solutions uH¹() such that g(u)¦Du|{²L¹(). Again this implies the uniqueness of the solution of (2) in the class uH ₀ ¹ () with g(u)¦Du|{²L¹().In both cases, the method of proof consists in making a certain change of function u=(v) in equation (1) or (2), and in proving that the transformed equation, which is of the form (3) {ie77-05}satisfies a certain structure condition, which using ((v₁ -v ₂)⁺)ⁿ for some n>0 as a test function, allows us to prove the maximum principle.     

Transport in ordered and disordered porous media IV: Computer generated porous media for three-dimensional systems

In the method of volume averaging, the difference between ordered and disordered porous media appears at two distinct points in the analysis, i.e. in the process of spatial smoothing and in the closure problem. In theclosure problem, the use of spatially periodic boundary conditions isconsistent with ordered porous media and the fields under consideration when the length-scale constraint,r ₀L is satisfied. For disordered porous media, spatially periodic boundary conditions are an approximation in need of further study.In theprocess of spatial smoothing, average quantities must be removed from area and volume integrals in order to extractlocal transport equations fromnonlocal equations. This leads to a series of geometrical integrals that need to be evaluated. In Part II we indicated that these integrals were constants for ordered porous media provided that the weighting function used in the averaging process contained thecellular average. We also indicated that these integrals were constrained by certain order of magnitude estimates for disordered porous media. In this paper we verify these characteristics of the geometrical integrals, and we examine their values for pseudo-periodic and uniformly random systems through the use of computer generated porous media.

An analytical approximation for the frozen laminar boundary layer flow of a binary mixture

An analytical approximation is derived for the frozen laminar boundary layer flow of a partially dissociated binary mixture along a strongly cooled flat plate. The concentration at the wall is shown to be a universal function of the Damkohler-number for the wall reaction. The Damkohlernumber also serves as a parameter of shape for the concentration profile which is presented in analytical form. The heat transfer at the wall depending on a conduction and a diffusion flux is derived and discussed. The ratio of these fluxes is expressed as a function of the Damkohler-number if the boundary conditions are known.

Lp-estimates for the nonlinear spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation

This paper studies L^p-estimates for solutions of the nonlinear, spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation. The molecular forces considered include inverse k^th-power forces with k > 5 and angular cut-off.The main conclusions are the following. Let f be the unique solution of the Boltzmann equation with f(v,t)(1 + ¦v²¦)^(s ₁ ^{+ /p)/2} L¹, when the initial value f ₀ satisfies f ₀(v) 0, f ₀(v) (1 + ¦v¦²)^(s ₁ ^{+ /p)/2} L¹, for some s₁ 2 + /p, and f ₀(v) (1 + ¦v¦²)^s/2 L^p. If s 2/p and 1 < p < , then f(v, t)(1 + ¦v¦²)^{(s s} ₁)^/2 L^p, t > 0. If s >2 and 3/(1+ ) < p < , thenf(v,t) (1 + ¦v¦²)^(s(s ₁ ^{+ 3/p))/2} L^p, t > 0. If s >2 + 2C₀/C₁ and 3/(l + ) < p < , then f(v,t)(1 + ¦v¦²)^s/2 L^p, t > 0. Here 1/p + 1/p = 1, x y = min (x, y), and C₀, C₁, 0 < 1, are positive constants related to the molecular forces under consideration; = (k – 5)/ (k – 1) for k^th-power forces.Some weaker conclusions follow when 1 < p 3/ (1 + ).In the proofs some previously known L-estimates are extended. The results for L^p, 1 < p < , are based on these L-estimates coupled with nonlinear interpolation.     

On the closure problem for Darcy's law

In a previous derivation of Darcy's law, the closure problem was presented in terms of an integro-differential equation for a second-order tensor.

The onset of Taylor-like vortices in the flow induced by an impulsively started rotating cylinder

The onset of instability in the flow by an impulsively started rotating cylinder is analyzed under linear theory. It is well-known that at the critical Taylor number T_c=1695 the secondary flow in form of Taylor vortices sets in under the narrow-gap approximation. Here the dimensionless critical time _c to mark the onset of instability for TT_c is presented as a function of the Taylor number T. Available experimental data of water indicate that deviation of the velocity profiles from the primary flow occurs starting from a certain time 4_c. It seems evident that during _c4_c the secondary flow is very weak and the primary state of time-dependent annular Couette flow is maintained.     

The mirror relations and nonlinear viscoelasticity of polymer melts

An attempt is made to incorporate into a quasilinear viscoelastic constitutive equation of the Boltzmann superposition type the two mirror relations of Gleissle, as well as his relation between the steady-state first normal-stress difference and the shear viscosity curve. It is shown that the three relations can hold separately within this constitutive model, but not simultaneously, because they require a different nonlinear strain measure, namelyS ₁₂ () = – a ( – 1) (a = 0 for 1,a = 1 for 1) for the mirroring of the viscosities,S ₁₂ () = – a (–k ²/) (a = 0 for k, a = 1 for k) for the mirroring of the first normal-stress coefficients, and for the third relation. Here denotes the shear strain and erf the error function. Experimental data on melts of a low-density polyethylene, a high-density polyethylene and a polypropylene show that the mirror relations are passable approximations, but that the third relation meets reality surprisingly close if the right value ofk is used.

Diese Größe wird für Lösungen von Cellulosetrinitrat in Butylacetat, Polyvinylacetat in Dioxan, Polystyrol in Toluol, Polyacrylamid in Wasser, und Viskose, in Abhängigkeit von der Konzentrationc und dem SchergefälleD ermittelt. Es zeigt sich, daß _c/ etwa im Wendepunkt der Fließkurven eine Art Plateau oder ein flaches Maximum zeigt und in diesem Plateaubereich eine lineare Abhängigkeit von der Konzentration. Die absolute Größe von _c/ ist jedoch um Größenordnungen geringer, als sie nach der Formel vonRouse bzw.Bueche für die erste Relaxationszeit eines Verhängungsnetzwerkes zu erwarten wäre. Das wird so gedeutet, daß bei dem hohen Schergefälle, das bei den Messungen herrschte (D etwa 10⁴ sec^–1), ein Teil der Verhängungen zerstört ist, wodurch die Relaxationszeit vergrößert und der Schermodul verkleinert wird.

Summary From the end-correction, according to a calculation byFromm based upon theMaxwell-model, a relaxation time and a corrected viscosity _c can be obtained. The quotient _c/ represents a shear modulus. Its value is determined for solutions of cellulosetrinitrate in butylacetate, polyvinylacetate in dioxane, polystyrene in toluene, polyacryloamide in water, and viscose, in dependence of concentrationc and shear rateD. It is found, that _c/ shows a plateau or a flat maximum at the inflection point of the flow curves. In this range, a linear dependence on concentration is found too. The absolute value of _c/, however, is smaller by orders of magnitude than that to be expected for the first relaxation time of an entanglement network according to the formulas byRouse resp.Bueche. This is explained by a partial disruption of entanglements in the high shear rate prevailing at the experiments (D about 10⁴ sec^–1), which effects an increase of the relaxation time and a decrease of the shear modulus.
