Hot-wire calibration over a large temperature range

The hot-wire calibration method as proposed by Cimbala and Park (1990) has been showen to be accurate within a temperature range of 20–45°C. This is a significant extension of the range used by Cimbala and Park (27.5– 34.5°C). The accuracy of the calibration is not affected by the ambient temperature. The calibration curve obtained seems to hold over a long period of time, thus reducing the need for frequent calibrations. Due to contamination the accuracy eventually decreases and the probe has to be re-calibrated.     

Experimental and numerical study of flat momentumless wake

Flat momentumless wake behind wing profile has been studied both experimentally and with numerical simulation based on the second order Reynolds stress turbulence model. Some obtained regular trends of momentumless wake decay are mainly consistent with previous experiments by Dmitrenko et al. (Dmitrenko, Yu.M., Kovalev, I.I., Luchko, N.N., Cherepanov, P.Ya., 1987. J. Eng. Phys. 52, 743–751 (in Russian)), Cimbala and Park (Cimbala, J.M., Park, W.J., 1990. J. Fluid Mech. 213, 479–509; Park, W.J., Cimbala, J.M., 1991. J. Fluid Mech. 224, 29–47). Transverse distributions of statistical characteristics and its evolution along the flow axis depend on initial conditions and body shape. It was shown that characteristic turbulence parameters associated with the wake's width, mean velocity deficit, turbulence kinetic energy, and its dissipation rate are not constant as some of the theories predict.

Meshfree weak–strong (MWS) form method and its application to incompressible flow problems

A meshfree weak–strong (MWS) form method has been proposed by the authors' group for linear solid mechanics problems based on a combined weak and strong form of governing equations. This paper formulates the MWS method for the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations that is non‐linear in nature. In this method, the meshfree collocation method based on strong form equations is applied to the interior nodes and the nodes on the essential boundaries; the local Petrov–Galerkin weak form is applied only to the nodes on the natural boundaries of the problem domain. The MWS method is then applied to simulate the steady problem of natural convection in an enclosed domain and the unsteady problem of viscous flow around a circular cylinder using both regular and irregular nodal distributions. The simulation results are validated by comparing with those of other numerical methods as well as experimental data. It is demonstrated that the MWS method has very good efficiency and accuracy for fluid flow problems. It works perfectly well for irregular nodes using only local quadrature cells for nodes on the natural boundary, which can be generated without any difficulty.

Diffusion and thermal slip of a binary gas mixture

Let us note that the phenomenon of diffusion slip at a constant gas-mixture temperature has been considered in [1], for example, and thermal slip for a single-component gas in [2]. The slip velocity of a binary gas mixture has been calculated in a field of the temperature gradient and of the partial pressure gradients. The kinetic equation is solved by an approximate method based on physical considerations. A formula has been obtained analytically for the slip velocity for arbitrary accommodation coefficients as well as for arbitrary gas concentrations and arbitrary molecule masses. The results agree to 1% accuracy with the numerical computations of other authors.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 4, pp. 51–55, July–August, 1970.

Calculation of curved open channel flow using physical curvilinear non‐orthogonal co‐ordinates

There are two main difficulties in numerical simulation calculations using FD/FV method for the flows in real rivers. Firstly, the boundaries are very complex and secondly, the generated grid is usually very non‐uniform locally. Some numerical models in this field solve the first difficulty by the use of physical curvilinear orthogonal co‐ordinates. However, it is very difficult to generate an orthogonal grid for real rivers and the orthogonal restriction often forces the grid to be over concentrated where high resolution is not required. Recently, more and more models solve the first difficulty by the use of generalized curvilinear co‐ordinates (ξ,η). The governing equations are expressed in a covariant or contra‐variant form in terms of generalized curvilinearco‐ordinates (ξ,η). However, some studies in real rivers indicate that this kind of method has some undesirable mesh sensitivities. Sharp differences in adjacent mesh size may easily lead to a calculation stability problem oreven a false simulation result. Both approaches used presently have their own disadvantages in solving the two difficulties that exist in real rivers. In this paper, the authors present a method for two‐dimensional shallow water flow calculations to solve both of the main difficulties, by formulating the governing equations in a physical form in terms of physical curvilinear non‐orthogonal co‐ordinates (s,n). Derivation of the governing equations is explained, and two numerical examples are employed to demonstrate that the presented method is applicable to non‐orthogonal and significantly non‐uniform grids.

一种处理弹性动力边界元法中奇异积分的方法

利用边界元法求解瞬态弹性动力学问题时,时域基本解函数的分段连续性和奇异性为该问题的求解带来很大的困难。为了解决时域基本解中的奇异性问题,本文依据柯西主值的定义,对经过时间解析积分之后的时域基本解进行奇异值分解,将其分成奇异和正则积分两部分;其中正则部分可通过采用常规高斯积分方法来计算,而奇异部分具有简单的形式,可以利用解析积分计算。经过上述操作之后,就可以达到直接消除时域基本解中奇异积分的目的。和传统方法相比,本文方法并不依赖静力学基本解来消除奇异性,是一种直接求解方法。最后给定两个数值算例来验证本文提出方法的正确性和可行性,结果表明使用本文算法可以解决弹性动力学边界积分方程中的奇异性问题。     

固定网格下的特征线法求解溃坝问题

溃坝问题是典型的非线性双曲方程的Riemann问题，其数值求解的难点在于对间断面的捕捉以及避免间断面处在数值计算过程中产生数值色散，因而为求解此问题所产生的各种数值计算方法的优劣也体现在这两个方面。本文针对溃坝问题提出一种新的计算方法。该方法基于对偶变量推导的浅水波方程，根据方程的特点，从方程的特征值和黎曼不变量出发，采用高精度的激波捕捉方法计算黎曼不变量的位置随时间的变化，然后映射至不随时间变化的固定网格。根据黎曼不变量的位置，采用保形分段三次Hermite插值将物理量映射至网格节点。计算结果显示，该方法不仅操作简单，计算量小，而且结果准确。     

Interaction of a shock wave with a magnetic field in a medium with finite conductivity

We consider the process of the interaction of aplanar shock wave with a magnetic field (impact on a magnetic wall) in a medium having finite conductivity.The problem cannot be solved analytically in the general form. Numerical methods are used to study the problem. A computer is used to calculate the complete system of one-dimensional nonsteady equations of MHD with finite conductivity which depends on temperature in a nonlinear fashion. Results are also presented of particular analytic solutions obtained under simplifying assumptions.We discuss the dependence of the process dynamics on the magnitude of the magnetic field intensity and the law of variation of the medium conductivity with temperature.In the numerical calculations we note the formation of a T-layer, a phenomenon which occurs under definite conditions in unsteady MHD problems [1].In conclusion the authors wish to thank N. G. Basov, A. A. Samarskli, and O. N. Krokhin for posing the problem and for fruitful discussions, and also D. A. Gol'din and A. A. Ivanov for carrying out the numerical calculations.     

弹塑性问题参数二次规划分析的隐式算法

传统的二次规划算法求解弹塑性问题时一般要经过对问题的线性化,如对屈服条件的一阶近似展开等,这在一定程度上会造成数值解的误差。为此,本文提出一种改进的策略,引入迭代与规划算法相结合的技术对问题进行处理,算法收敛平稳迅速,在大步长荷载增量下使算法的精度大大提高。由于本文的算法属于隐式算法,因而也就弥补了原二次规划算法求解弹塑性问题时只有显式算法的不足,从而达到了对原算法的进一步完善。     

Three-dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes equations on non-orthogonal staggered grids using the velocity–vorticity formulation

This paper is concerned with the numerical resolution of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in the velocity–vorticity form on non-orthogonal structured grids. The discretization is performed in such a way, that the discrete operators mimic the properties of the continuous ones. This allows the discrete equivalence between the primitive and velocity–vorticity formulations to be proved. This last formulation can thus be seen as a particular technique for solving the primitive equations. The difficulty associated with non-simply connected computational domains and with the implementation of the boundary conditions are discussed. One of the main drawback of the velocity–vorticity formulation, relative to the additional computational work required for solving the additional unknowns, is alleviated. Two- and three-dimensional numerical test cases validate the proposed method. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A new method for detecting non-linear damping and restoring forces in non-linear oscillation systems from transient data

The purpose of this study is to recover the functional form of both non-linear damping and non-linear restoring forces in the non-linear oscillatory motions of an autonomous system. Using two sets of measured motion response data of the system, an inverse problem is formulated for recovering (or identification): the differential equation of motion is transformed into an equivalent integral equation of motion. The identification, which is non-linear, is shown to be one-to-one. However, the inverse problem formulated herein is concerned with the Volterra-type of non-linear integral equation of the first kind. This leads to numerical instability: solutions of the inverse problem lack stability properties. In order to overcome the difficulty, a regularization method is applied to the identification process. In addition, an L-curve criterion, combined with regularization, is introduced to find an optimal choice for the regularization parameter (i.e., the number of iterations), in the presence of noisy data. The workability of the identification is investigated for simultaneously recovering the functional form of the non-linear damping and the non-linear restoring forces through a numerical experiment.     

COLLATION AND UPWINDING FOR THERMAL FLOW IN PIPELINES: THE LINEARIZED CASE

Simulating thermal effects in pipeline flow involves solving a coupled non-linear system of first-order hyperbolic equations. The advection term has two large eigenvalues of opposite signs, corresponding to the propagation of high-speed sound waves, and one eigenvalue close to or even equal to zero, representing the much slower fluid flow velocity, which transports temperature. Standard collocation methods work well for isothermal flow in pipelines, but the stagnating eigenvalue causes difficulties when thermal effects are included. In a companion paper we formulate and analyse a new numerical method for the non-linear system which arises in thermal modelling. The new method applies to general coupled systems of non-linear first-order hyperbolic partial differential equations with one degenerate eigenvalue. In the present paper we focus on a linearized constant coefficient form of the thermal flow equations. This substantially simplifies presentation of the error analysis for the numerical scheme. We also include numerical results for the method applied to the fully non-linear system. Both the error analysis and the numerical experiments show that the difficulties that come from the application of standard collocation can be overcome by using upwinded piecewise constant functions for the degenerate component of the solution.     

A collocated finite volume method for predicting flows at all speeds

An existing two-dimensional method for the prediction of steady-state incompressible flows in complex geometry is extended to treat also compressible flows at all speeds. The primary variables are the Cartesian velocity components, pressure and temperature. Density is linked to pressure via an equation of state. The influence of pressure on density in the case of compressible flows is implicitly incorporated into the extended SIMPLE algorithm, which in the limit of incompressible flow reduces to its well-known form. Special attention is paid to the numerical treatment of boundary conditions. The method is verified on a number of test cases (inviscid and viscous flows), and both the results and convergence properties compare favourably with other numerical results available in the literature.

Convective drying analysis of three-dimensional porous solid by mass lumping finite element technique

A numerical analysis of convective drying of a 3D porous solid of brick material is carried out using the finite element method and mass lumping technique. The energy equation and moisture transport equations for the porous solid are derived based on continuum approach following Whitaker’s theory of drying. The governing equations are solved using the Galerkin’s weighted residual method, which convert the governing equations into discretized form of matrix equations. The resulting capacitance matrices are made diagonal matrices by following the classical row-sum mass lumping technique. Hence with the use of the Eulerian time marching scheme, the final equations are reduced to simple algebraic equations, which can be solved directly without using an equation solver. The proposed numerical scheme is initially validated with experimental results for 1D drying problem and then tested by application to convective drying of 3D porous solid of brick material for four different aspect ratios obtained by varying the cross section of the solid. The mass lumping technique could correctly predict the wet bulb temperature of the solid under evaporative drying conditions. A parametric study carried out for three different values of convective heat transfer coefficients, 15, 30 and 45 W/m² K shows an increased drying rate with increase in area of cross section and convective heat transfer coefficient. The proposed numerical scheme could correctly predict the drying behavior shown in the form of temperature and moisture evolutions.
