Methods of Small and Large δ in the Nonlinear Dynamics – A Comparative Analysis

New asymptotic approaches for dynamical systems containing a power nonlinear term x ⁿ are proposed and analyzed. Two natural limiting cases are studied: n 1 + , 1 and n . In the firstcase, the 'small method' (SM)is used and its applicability for dynamical problems with the nonlinearterm sin as well as the usefulness of the SMfor the problem with small denominators are outlined. For n , a new asymptotic approach is proposed(conditionally we call it the 'large method' –LM). Error estimations lead to the followingconclusion: the LM may be used, even for smalln, whereas the SM has a narrow application area. Both of the discussed approaches overlap all values ofthe parameter n.

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.

The motion of a detaching elastic body

Conclusions The qualitative behavior of the displacement (t) and the radius R(t) during the different phases of the motion is illustrated in the diagram of Fig. 6.1.After the first impact at t = 0 the displacement (t) varies according to (5.2). If the first maximum of (t) is higher than ₁ then at time t ₁ the graph of (t) intersects the straight line = _cand detachment first occurs. In the second phase the dependance of on t is expressed by (5.6). The detachment will end at the instant t ₂ when vanishes.The radius R remains equal to R ₀ until (t) reaches the critical value ₁ = _c that is at t = t ₁. After t ₁, R(t) will decrease according to (4.4) up to its final value ₂.A rather unexpected property of the solution is that the greatest elongation is finite for every non-vanishing value of the ratio .To Jerry Ericksen for his 60^th birthday     

A priori Estimates and Existence for Elliptic Systems via Bootstrap in Weighted Lebesgue Spaces

We present a new general method to obtain regularity and a priori estimates for solutions of semilinear elliptic systems in bounded domains. This method is based on a bootstrap procedure, used alternatively on each component, in the scale of weighted Lebesgue spaces L^p()=L^p((x)dx), where (x) is the distance to the boundary. Using this method, we significantly improve the known existence results for various classes of elliptic systems.     

Peristaltic pumping of a second-order fluid in a planar channel

The peristaltic motion of a non-Newtonian fluid represented by the constitutive equation for a second-order fluid was studied for the case of a planar channel with harmonically undulating extensible walls. A perturbation series for the parameter ( half-width of channel/wave length) obtained explicit terms of 0(²), 0(²Re²) and 0(₁Re²) respectively representing curvature, inertia and the non-Newtonian character of the fluid. Numerical computations were performed and compared to the perturbation analysis in order to determine the range of validity of the terms.Presented at the second conference Recent Developments in Structured Continua, May 23–25, 1990, in Sherbrooke, Québec, Canada     

Asymptotics of the homogenized moduli for the elastic chess-board composite

We find the asymptotic behavior of the homogenized coefficients of elasticity for the chess-board structure. In the chess board white and black cells are isotropic and have Lamé constants (, ,) and (, ) respectively. We assume that the black cells are soft, so 0. It turns out that the Poisson ratio for this composite tends to zero with .     

New calculations on the Faraday effect in wave guides

Summary The propagation of electromagnetic waves is investigated theoretically for a round wave guide, containing a gyroelectrie-gyromagnetic medium with gyroaxis parallel to the guide in the form of a cylindrical shell of thickness, adjacent to the wall of the guide. An equation is set up, permitting to compute the change in the propagation constant due to the presence of the shell, including terms proportional to ². Assuming only the presence of gyromagnetism, the change ₁ of first order in for TE-waves is determined and is found to be the same fpr right- and left-circular polarization. The second order difference ₂ ⁺ — ₂ ^- for the two senses of polarization, however, appears to have a non-vanishing value which, just like ₁ can be expressed in terms of the radius of the guide, the frequency, the dielectric constant and the elements of the gyromagnetic permeability tensor which characterize the medium of the shell.     

Transcendentally small transversality in the rapidly forced pendulum

The rapidly forced pendulum equation with forcing sin((t/), where =<₀^p,p = 5, for ₀, sufficiently small, is considered. We prove that stable and unstable manifolds split and that the splitting distanced(t) in the ( ,t) plane satisfiesd(t) = sin(t/) sech(/2) +O( ₀ exp(–/2)) (2.3a) and the angle of transversal intersection,, in thet = 0 section satisfies 2 tan/2 = 2S _s = (/2) sech(/2) +O(( ₀ /) exp(–/2)) (2.3b) It follows that the Melnikov term correctly predicts the exponentially small splitting and angle of transversality. Our method improves a previous result of Holmes, Marsden, and Scheuerle. Our proof is elementary and self-contained, includes a stable manifold theorem, and emphasizes the phase space geometry.     

Asymptotic analysis of equilibrium states for rotating turbulent flows

The equilibrium states of homogeneous turbulence simultaneously subjected to a mean velocity gradient and a rotation are examined by using asymptotic analysis. The present work is concerned with the asymptotic behavior of quantities such as the turbulent kinetic energy and its dissipation rate associated with the fixed point (/kS)=0, whereS is the shear rate. The classical form of the model transport equation for (Hanjalic and Launder, 1972) is used. The present analysis shows that, asymptotically, the turbulent kinetic energy (a) undergoes a power-law decay with time for (P/)<1, (b) is independent of time for (P/)=1, (c) undergoes a power-law growth with time for 1<(P/)<(C ₂–1), and (d) is represented by an exponential law versus time for (P/)=(C ₂–1)/(C ₁–1) and (/kS)>0 whereP is the production rate. For the commonly used second-order models the equilibrium solutions forP/,II, andIII (whereII andIII are respectively the second and third invariants of the anisotropy tensor) depend on the rotation number when (P/kS)=(/kS)=0. The variation of (P/kS) andII versusR given by the second-order model of Yakhot and Orzag are compared with results of Rapid Distortion Theory corrected for decay (Townsend, 1970).     

Nicht-isotherme Rieselfilmströmung einer hochviskosen Flüssigkeit mit stark temperaturabhÄngiger ViskositÄt

Zusammenfassung Es werden Geschwindigkeitsverteilungen und Filmdickenabnahmen von nichtisothermen NEWTONschen und nicht-NEWTONschen (Potenzansatz) Rieselfilmen mit temperaturanhÄngiger ViskositÄt berechnet, wobei die Temperaturverteilung im Film als linear vorausgesetzt wird. An dicken Rieselfilmen mit Re=10^–4... 10^–2 sind Geschwindigkeitsprofile, Filmdicken und OberflÄchentemperaturen gemessen und daraus die thermische EinlauflÄnge bestimmt worden. Ausgehend von der Penetrationstheorie für eine endlich dicke Platte kann man für diese EinlauflÄnge eine Approximationsformel erhalten, die für Strömungen mit Re < 1000 verwendet werden kann.

Non-isothermal filmflow of a highly viscous liquid, the viscosity strongly depending on temperature

Velocity distributions and film thicknesses of nonisothermal NEWTONIAN and non-NEWTONIAN (power-law) falling films are computed assuming that the temperature across the film varies linearly. Experimental studies on thick falling films of Re=10^–4...10^–2 had been carried out to measure velocities, film thickness and surface temperature and to calculate the thermal entrance length. One can get for this entrance length a approximation formula which is valid for flows with RePr <1000 by applying the results for the thermal penetration into a material finite plate.

Concentration dependence of the critical viscoelastic properties of gelatin at the gel point

Gelatin gel properties have been studied through the evolution of the storage [G()] and the loss [G()] moduli during gelation or melting near the gel point at several concentrations. The linear viscoelastic properties at the percolation threshold follow a power-law G()G() and correspond to the behavior described by a rheological constitutive equation known as the Gel Equation. The critical point is characterized by the relation: tan = G/G = cst = tan ( · /2) and it may be precisely located using the variations of tan versus the gelation or melting parameter (time or temperature) at several frequencies. The effect of concentration and of time-temperature gel history on its variations has been studied. On gelation, critical temperatures at each concentration were extrapolated to infinite gel times. On melting, critical temperatures were determined by heating step by step after a controlled period of aging. Phase diagrams [T = f(C)] were obtained for gelation and melting and the corresponding enthalpies were calculated using the Ferry-Eldridge relation. A detailed study of the variations of A with concentration and with gel history was carried out. The values of which were generally in the 0.60–0.72 range but could be as low as 0.20–0.30 in some experimental conditions, were compared with published and theoretical values.

Stability characteristics of condensate films

The linear stability theory is used to study stability characteristics of laminar condensate film flow down an arbitrarily inclined wall. A critical Reynolds number exists above which disturbances will be amplified. The magnitude of the critical Reynolds number is in all practical situations so small that a laminar gravity-induced condensate film can be expected to be unstable. Several stabilizing effects are acting on the film flow; at an inclined wall these effects are due to surface tension, gravity and condensation mass transfer.

Asymptotic theory of the turbulent boundary layer as a problem of singular perturbations

We consider an asymptotic theory of the turbulent boundary layer [1,2]. In this paper we make an attempt to further develop the mathematical aspects of this theory.

Asymptotic Nusselt numbers for Newtonian flow through a parallel-plate channel with recycle

General expressions for evaluating the asymptotic Nusselt number for a Newtonian flow through a parallel-plate channel with recycle at the ends have been derived. Numerical results with the ratio of thicknesses as a parameter for various recycle ratios are obtained. A regression analysis shows that the results can be expressed by log Nur^0.83=0.3589 (log)² -0.2925 (log) + 0.3348 forR 3, 0.1 0.9; logNu=0.5982(log)² +0.3755 × 10^–2 (log) +0.8342 forR 10^–2, 0.1 0.9.

In contrast, we attempted to use the complex fluidity ^* () = 1/µ ^* () to represent this behavior.

Turbulent boundary layer over a smooth wall with widely separated transverse square cavities

Laser-Doppler velocimetry (LDV) measurements and flow visualizations are used to study a turbulent boundary layer over a smooth wall with transverse square cavities at two values of the momentum thickness Reynolds number (R =400 and 1300). The cavities are spaced 20 element widths apart in the streamwise direction. Flow visualizations reveal a significant communication between the cavities and the overlying shear layer, with frequent inflows and ejections of fluid to and from cavities. There is evidence to suggest that quasi-streamwise near-wall vortices are responsible for the ejections of fluid out of the cavities. The wall shear stress, which is measured accurately, increases sharply immediately downstream of the cavity. This increase is followed by a sudden decrease and a slower return to the smooth wall value. Integration of the wall shear stress in the streamwise direction indicates that there is an increase in drag of 3.4% at bothR .Nomenclature C _f skin friction coefficient - C _fsw friction coefficient for a continuous smooth wall - k height of the cavity - k ⁺ ku / - R Reynolds number based on momentum thickness (U ₁ /v) - Rx Reynolds number based on streamwise distance (U ₁ x/) - s streamwise distance between two cavities - t time - t ⁺ tu ₂ / - U ₁ freestream velocity - mean velocity inx direction - u,v,w rms turbulent intensities inx,y andz directions - u local friction velocity - u _sw friction velocity for a continuous smooth wall - w width of the cavity - x streamwise co-ordinate measured from the downstream edge of the cavity - y co-ordinate normal to the wall - z spanwise co-ordinate - y ⁺ yu / - boundary layer thickness - ₀ boundary layer thickness near the upstream edge of the cavity - _i thickness of internal layer - kinematic viscosity of water - ⁺ zu / - momentum thickness     

Prediction of stagnation point heat transfer for a slot jet impinging on a concave semicylindrical surface

A systematic procedure has been laid out for assessment of fluid flow and heat transfer parameters for a slot jet impinging on a concave semicylindrical surface. Based on Walz's modifications of the Karman-Pohlhausen integral method, expressions have been derived for evaluation of the momentum thickness, boundary layer thickness and the displacement thickness at the stagnation point. The work then has been extended for the estimation of thermal boundary layer thickness and local heat transfer coefficients. A correlation has been presented for the Nusselt number at the stagnation point as a function of the Reynolds number for different non-dimensional distances from the exit plane of the jet to the impingement surface.

Saint-Venant's principle in nonlinear plane elasticity with sufficiently small strains

A homogeneous, isotropic cylinder in an equilibrium state of plane strain, whose cross-section is a rectangle R : [0 < y ₁ < 2L; 0 < y ₂ < h] with h/L 1, is considered. There are no body forces and the long sides are stress free. At y ₁ = 0 and y ₁ = 2L, there are arbitrary loadings, each statically equivalent to a uniformly distributed tensile or compressive stress c. Within the theory of nonlinear elasticity and with the strains and strain gradients assumed to be sufficiently small (but with no such assumptions on the displacement gradients), it is proved that if (,=1,2) represents the Cauchy stress tensor and the Kronecker delta, then |–c₁₁| decays exponentially to zero in R with distance from the nearer end, and the decay constant depends only upon the material but is independent of L.
