Boundary layer for 3D nonlinear parallel pipe flow of nonhomogeneous incompressible Navier‐Stokes equations

In this paper, we justify the mathematical validity of the Prandtl boundary layer theory for a class of nonlinear parallel pipe flow of nonhomogeneous incompressible Navier‐Stokes equations. The convergence for velocity is shown under various Sobolev norms. In addition, the higher‐order asymptotic expansions are also considered. And the mathematical validity of the Prandtl boundary layer theory for nonlinear parallel pipe flow is generalized to the nonhomogeneous case.     

An Exact Navier-Stokes Solution for Three-Dimensional,Spanwise-Homogeneous Boundary Layers

The plane stagnation flow onto (Hiemenz boundary layer, HBL) and the asymptotic suction boundary layer flow over a flat wall (ASBL) are two boundary layer flows for which the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are amenable to exact similarity solutions. The Hiemenz solution has been extended to swept Hiemenz flows by superposition of a third, spanwise-homogeneous sweep velocity. This solution becomes singular as the chordwise, tangential base flow component vanishes. In this limit, the homogeneous ASBL solution is valid, which however cannot describe the swept Hiemenz flow, because it does not contain any chordwise velocity. This work presents a generalized three-dimensional similarity solution which describes three-dimensional spanwise homogeneously impinging boundary layers at arbitrary wall-normal suction velocities, using a rescaled similarity coordinate. The HBL and the ASBL are shown to be two limits of this solution. Further extensions consist of oblique impingement or different boundary suction directions, such as slip or stretching walls.

Existence and a priori bounds for steady stagnation flow toward a stretching cylinder

We investigate the nonlinear boundary value problem (BVP) that is derived from a similarity transformation of the Navier-Stokes equations governing fluid flow toward a stretching permeable cylinder. Existence of a solution is proven for all values of the Reynolds number and for both suction and injection, and uniqueness results are obtained in the case of a monotonic solution. A priori bounds on the skin friction coefficient are also obtained. These bounds achieve any desired order of accuracy as the injection parameter tends to negative infinity.     

Qualitative Properties of Separating Flows in the Prandtl Boundary Layer

We study the behavior of solutions to the system of Prandtl boundary layer equations beyond the separation point of the boundary layer. We obtain conditions on the positive pressure gradient which guarantee the attachment of the boundary layer to the streamlined surface after separation. We prove the possibility of controlling the boundary layer by alternating suction and injection.

Boundary Layers Associated with Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations: The Noncharacteristic Boundary Case

The goal of this article is to study the boundary layer of wall bounded flows in a channel at small viscosity when the boundaries are uniformly noncharacteristic, i.e., there is injection and/or suction everywhere at the boundary. Following earlier work on the boundary layer for linearized Navier-Stokes equations in the case where the boundaries are characteristic (no-slip at the boundary and non-permeable), we consider here the case where the boundary is permeable and thus noncharacteristic. The form of the boundary layer and convergence results are derived in two cases: linearized equation and full nonlinear equations. We prove that there exists a boundary layer at the outlet (downwind) of the form e^−Uz/ε where U is the speed of injection/suction at the boundary, z is the distance to the outlet of the channel, and ε is the kinematic viscosity. We improve an earlier result of S. N. Alekseenko (1994, Siberian Math. J.35, No. 2, 209-230) where the convergence in L² of the solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations to that of the Euler equations at vanishing viscosity was established. In the two dimensional case we are able to derive the physically relevant uniform in space (L^∞ norm) estimates of the boundary layer. The uniform in space estimate is derived by properly developing our previous idea of better control on the tangential derivative and the use of an anisotropic Sobolev imbedding. To the best of our knowledge this is the first rigorously proved result concerning boundary layers for the full (nonlinear) Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluids.     

Robin-type boundary control problems for the nonlinear Boussinesq type equations

In this paper, we study a linear and a nonlinear boundary control problems arising from viscous flows. The equations are of nonlinear Navier-Stokes type for the velocity and pressure, of transport-diffusion type for the temperature and the salinity. The essential difficulties are due to the nonlinear nature of a part of the boundary conditions and to the nature of the equations: time-dependent, coupled and nonlinear. The existence and the conditions of the uniqueness of the solution, for the variational problem, are studied. The control is of linear or nonlinear Robin-type and acts on a part of the boundary during a time T. The cost function measures the distance between the observed and the computed vorticity. The existence of an optimal control in the admissible set of states and controls is proved. A first order necessary conditions of optimality are obtained.

Viscous-Inviscid Interactions in a Boundary-Layer Flow Induced by a Vortex Array

In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic validity of boundary-layer theory. For a flow induced by a periodic row of point-vortices, we compare Prandtl’s boundary-layer solution to Navier-Stokes solutions with different Reynolds numbers. We show how Prandtl’s solution develops a finite-time separation singularity. On the other hand, the Navier-Stokes solutions are characterized by the presence of two distinct types of viscous-inviscid interactions that can be detected by the analysis of the enstrophy and of the pressure gradient on the wall. Moreover, we apply the complex singularity-tracking method to Prandtl and Navier-Stokes solutions and analyze the previous interactions from a different perspective.     

The phase-field transition system with non-homogeneous Cauchy–Stefan–Boltzmann and homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions and non-constant thermal conductivity

The paper establishes the existence, estimate, uniqueness and regularity for the solution of a nonlinear parabolic system (a two-phase Caginalp type system) with non-homogeneous Cauchy–Stefan–Boltzmann and homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions and non-constant thermal conductivity. It extends the already studied types of boundary conditions which makes the mathematical model to be richer and more flexible to describe the real physical phenomena, including phase separation.     

On MHD flow along an infinite flat wall with constant suction

Exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations are derived by a Laplace-transform technique for two-dimensional, incompressible flow of an electrically conducting fluid past an infinite porous plate under the action of a transverse magnetic field subject to the conditions: (i) the magnetic Prandtl number P_m is unity, and (ii) the Alfven velocity is less than the suction velocity. It is assumed that the flow is independent of the distance parallel to the plate and that the velocity component normal to the plate is constant. General formulae are derived for the velocity distribution and the magnetic field in terms of the given external velocity. The skin-friction is obtained and some special cases are considered.     

Combined effects of non-uniform heat source/sink and thermal radiation on heat transfer over an unsteady stretching permeable surface

The present paper is concerned with the study of flow and heat transfer characteristics in the unsteady laminar boundary layer flow of an incompressible viscous fluid over continuously stretching permeable surface in the presence of a non-uniform heat source/sink and thermal radiation. The unsteadiness in the flow and temperature fields is because of the time-dependent stretching velocity and surface temperature. Similarity transformations are used to convert the governing time-dependent nonlinear boundary layer equations for momentum and thermal energy are reduced to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations containing Prandtl number, non-uniform heat source/sink parameter, thermal radiation and unsteadiness parameter with appropriate boundary conditions. These equations are solved numerically by applying shooting method using Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method. Comparison of numerical results is made with the earlier published results under limiting cases. The effects of the unsteadiness parameter, thermal radiation, suction/injection parameter, non-uniform heat source/sink parameter on flow and heat transfer characteristics as well as on the local Nusselt number are shown graphically.     

Heat transfer over an unsteady stretching permeable surface with prescribed wall temperature

The unsteady laminar boundary layer flow over a continuously stretching permeable surface is investigated. The unsteadiness in the flow and temperature fields is caused by the time-dependence of the stretching velocity and the surface temperature. Effects of the unsteadiness parameter, suction/injection parameter and Prandtl number on the heat transfer characteristics are thoroughly examined.     

A new family of unsteady boundary layers over a stretching surface

In this paper, a new family of unsteady boundary layers over a stretching flat surface was proposed and studied. This new class of unsteady boundary layers involves the flows over a constant speed stretching surface from a slot, and the slot is moving at a certain speed. Depending on the slot moving parameter, the flow can be treated as a stretching sheet problem or a shrinking sheet problem. Both the momentum and thermal boundary layers were studied. Under special conditions, the solutions reduce to the unsteady Rayleigh problem and the steady Sakiadis stretching sheet problem. Solutions only exist for a certain range of the slot moving parameter, α. Two solutions are found for −53.55° < α < −45°. There are also two solution branches for the thermal boundary layers at any given Prandtl number in this range. Compared with the upper solution branch, the lower solution branch leads to simultaneous reduction in wall drag and heat transfer rate. The results also show that the motion of the slot greatly affects the wall drag and heat transfer characteristics near the wall and the temperature and velocity distributions in the fluids.     

Hemivariational inequalities for stationary Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper we study a class of inequality problems for the stationary Navier-Stokes type operators related to the model of motion of a viscous incompressible fluid in a bounded domain. The equations are nonlinear Navier-Stokes ones for the velocity and pressure with nonstandard boundary conditions. We assume the nonslip boundary condition together with a Clarke subdifferential relation between the pressure and the normal components of the velocity. The existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to the model are proved by using a surjectivity result for pseudomonotone maps. We also establish a result on the dependence of the solution set with respect to a locally Lipschitz superpotential appearing in the boundary condition.     

The Modulation Equations for the Asymptotic Suction Velocity Profile and the Ekman Boundary Layer

In this article two types of flows are considered, the asymptotic suction velocity profile, which is a nearly parallel flow, and the Ekman boundary layer, which is a nonparallel flow. The modified Orr-Sommerfeld equation for the asymptotic suction velocity profile, which is the linearized stability equation for this flow, is analyzed and it is shown to have finitely many eigenvalues. In addition, the Ekman boundary layer is considered and the modulation equation for this nonparallel flow is derived for the first time.

Derivation of Prandtl boundary layer equations for the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in a curved domain

The proposal of this note is to derive the equations of boundary layers in the small viscosity limit for the two-dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes equations defined in a curved bounded domain with the non-slip boundary condition. By using curvilinear coordinate system in a neighborhood of boundary, and the multi-scale analysis we deduce that the leading profiles of boundary layers of the incompressible flows in a bounded domain still satisfy the classical Prandtl equations when the viscosity goes to zero, which are the same as for the flows defined in the half space.

A common error made in investigation of boundary layer flows

The concept of boundary layer flow, introduced in 1904 by Prandtl, is a popular field in Fluid Mechanics for engineers, physicists and mathematicians. The present work is a critique to many papers published in the last 15 years in the field of boundary layer flow. The critique concerns the shape of velocity, temperature and concentration profiles which are truncated due to small calculation domain used during the numerical solution procedure. These truncated profiles are not compatible with the boundary layer theory and introduce errors in wall shear stress and wall heat transfer values.
