Shear-layer acoustic radiation in an excited subsonic jet: experimental study

The subharmonic acoustic radiation of a tone excited subsonic jet shear-layer has been investigated experimentally. Two jet velocities $U_j=20\text{m}?{\text{s}}^{\mathrm{?1}}$ and $U_j=40\text{m}?{\text{s}}^{\mathrm{?1}}$ were studied. For $U_j=20\text{m}?{\text{s}}^{\mathrm{?1}}$, the natural boundary-layer at the nozzle exit is laminar. When the perturbation is applied, the fluctuations of the first and the second subharmonics of the excitation frequency are detected in the shear-layer. In addition, the first subharmonic near pressure field along the spreading jet is constituted of two strong maxima of sinusoidal shape. The far-field directivity pattern displays two lobes separated by an extinction angle ${\theta }^{?}$ at around 85° from the jet axis. These observations follow the results of Bridges about the vortex pairing noise. On the other hand, for $U_j=40\text{m}?{\text{s}}^{\mathrm{?1}}$, the initial boundary-layer is transitional and only the first subharmonic is observed in the presence of the excitation. The near pressure field is of Gaussian shape in the jet periphery and the acoustic far-field is superdirective as observed by Laufer and Yen. The state of the initial shear-layer seems to be the key feature to distinguish these two different radiation patterns. To cite this article: V. Fleury et al., C. R. Mecanique 333 (2005).

基于CFD-DEM的高炉风口回旋区形状和传热特性数值模拟研究

采用计算流体力学-离散单元法(CFD-DEM)耦合方法,对高炉风口回旋区进行了数值模拟研究。首先通过与实验结果对比,验证了CFD-DEM模型的正确性;然后考察了不同气速对风口回旋区形状和传热特性及颗粒接触的影响。数值模拟结果表明:风口回旋区的大小和形状均受气速影响较大,在较大进气速度下,颗粒受到的曳力大于颗粒间的摩擦阻力并破坏颗粒间的桥力,形成较大尺寸的回旋区;且颗粒之间接触力较小,形成较大的空隙结构,更有利于热气体向周围扩散以强化传热。目前考察的三种气速结果表明:当气速为11m/s时,热量向下方传递速度最快;当气速为13m/s时,热量向上方传递速度最快;而当气速为15m/s时,热量向右方传递速度最快;此外,气速越大流态化越明显,颗粒间接触越少,接触力也越小。     

The stability of a circumferential crack in a pipe I. The influence of the boundary conditions imposed at the ends

The paper examines the case where a pipe of length L is built-in at one end and the other end is subject to an imposed displacement or rotation. The criterion for instability of growth of a circumferential through-wall crack is shown to depend on the pipe-end boundary conditions as well as the pipe geometry, crack size and crack location. The worst possible case is that where there is only a force, but no moment, at the pipe-end. However, this is probably an artificial situation which is unlikely to arise in practice. A pipe is more likely to be built-in at both ends, and for this situation, it is concluded that the instability criterion is the same irrespective of whether a displacement or rotation is imposed at a built-in end.     

“Inviscid Finger” Instability in Regular Models of a Porous Medium

Displacement of a fluid from a porous medium is considered. The flow is assumed to be fast enough, i.e., the Reynolds number based on the characteristic pore size is large. If he driving fluid is less dense (for example, a gas), the interface is unstable. This instability is similar to the well–known viscous finger instability but the governing parameter is density instead of viscosity. The instability is demonstrated experimentally using two–dimensional models. In square lattices of perpendicular channels, noticeable branching of fingers is not observed, which is attributed to the anisotropy of such an artificial porous medium. A more ordinary pattern with finger branching is obtained in a two–dimensional layer of spheres, which appears to be more isotropic. A simple model describing flow in a square lattice is proposed. The initial stage of growth is considered, and the instability increment is estimated. A qualitative analysis of the nonlinear stage is performed.     

A VIEWPOINT OF THE TENSORAL PROPERTY OF COORDINATE TRANSFORMATION COEFFICIENT AND ANALYSISON THE CONCEPT OF HYBRID TENSOR1)

本文致力于澄清一个十分基本的问题：坐标变换系数是否为张量?传统观念认为,坐标变换系数不是张量。为了揭示坐标变换系数的本质,本文采用“从一般到特殊”的研究策略,重塑了张量的内涵和外延,引入了杂交张量概念,进而颠覆了坐标变换系数不是张量的传统观念,确切地讲,它就是度量张量的杂交分量。这一结果扩张了张量概念的集合,提升了张量分析学内在的统一性、对称性和不变性,减少了连续介质力学的运算量。

基于统一强度理论抗滑桩桩间距的计算

在已有抗滑桩桩间距研究的基础上,对桩间土拱进行受力分析。从侧阻力条件和土拱强度条件两个方面对抗滑桩桩间距进行了计算,将统一强度理论引入土拱强度的分析,藉此分别判断拱顶前缘、后缘及拱脚处土体是否处于临界状态,可得3个桩间距值,取相应的最小桩间距作为设计桩间距。此方法对于滑坡推力的矩形、三角形和梯形分布形式均适用,并可考虑土体自重应力的影响,同时可推及锚索抗滑桩桩间距的计算。对两个计算实例进行了分析,本方法的计算值与已有计算值或设计值的比较表明本方法效果良好。具体计算中统一强度参数b取0.2~0.7较为合适,滑坡推力为矩形分布时b值约为0.3,滑坡推力为三角形分布时b值约为0.6,滑坡推力为梯形分布时b值介于两者之间。

Distortional hardening plasticity model for paperboard

A distortional hardening elasto-plastic model at finite strains suitable for modeling of orthotropic materials is presented. As a prototype material, paperboard is considered. An in-plane model is established. The model developed is motivated from non-proportional loading tests on paperboard where the paperboard is pre-strained in one direction and then loaded in the perpendicular direction. A softening effect is revealed in the pre-strained samples. The observed experimental findings cannot be accurately predicted by current models for paperboard. To be able to model the softening effects, a yield surface based on multiple hardening variables is introduced. It is shown that the model parameters can be obtained from simple uniaxial experiments. The model is implemented in a finite element framework which is used to illustrate the behavior of the model at some specific loading situations and is compared with strain fields obtained from Digital Image Correlation experiments.     

Heat transfer in stagnation-point flow towards a stretching sheet

 Steady two-dimensional stagnation-point flow of an incompressible viscous fluid over a flat deformable sheet is investigated when the sheet is stretched in its own plane with a velocity proportional to the distance from the stagnation-point. It is shown that for a fluid of small kinematic viscosity, a boundary layer is formed when the stretching velocity is less than the free stream velocity and an inverted boundary layer is formed when the stretching velocity exceeds the free stream velocity. Temperature distribution in the boundary layer is found when the surface is held at constant temperature and surface heat flux is determined.

Scale-by-scale energy budget in a turbulent boundary layer over a rough wall

Hot-wire velocity measurements are carried out in a turbulent boundary layer over a rough wall consisting of transverse circular rods, with a ratio of 8 between the spacing (w) of two consecutive rods and the rod height (k). The pressure distribution around the roughness element is used to accurately measure the mean friction velocity ($U_{\tau }$) and the error in the origin. It is found that $U_{\tau }$ remained practically constant in the streamwise direction suggesting that the boundary layer over this surface is evolving in a self-similar manner. This is further corroborated by the similarity observed at all scales of motion, in the region $0.2⩽y/\delta ⩽0.6$, as reflected in the constancy of Reynolds number ($R_{\lambda }$) based on Taylor’s microscale and the collapse of Kolmogorov normalized velocity spectra at all wavenumbers.A scale-by-scale budget for the second-order structure function $〈{(\delta u)}^2〉$ ($\delta u=u(x+r)-u(x)$, where u is the fluctuating streamwise velocity component and r is the longitudinal separation) is carried out to investigate the energy distribution amongst different scales in the boundary layer. It is found that while the small scales are controlled by the viscosity, intermediate scales over which the transfer of energy (or $〈{(\delta u)}^3〉$) is important are affected by mechanisms induced by the large-scale inhomogeneities in the flow, such as production, advection and turbulent diffusion. For example, there are non-negligible contributions from the large-scale inhomogeneity to the budget at scales of the order of $\lambda$, the Taylor microscale, in the region of the boundary layer extending from $y/\delta =0.2$ to 0.6 ($\delta$ is the boundary layer thickness).     

Nondispersive wave propagation in a layered composite

It is found that it is possible to propagate a horizontally polarized (SH) wave without dispersion through an elastic, periodically-layered composite. The nondispersive property of the wave is due to the fact that at each interface the angle of incidence is such that the wave is totally transmitted without reflection. In optics such an angle is referred to as the Brewster angle. It is determined that this particular case is contained as a special solution of the general dispersion equation for SH waves, which has not been noticed before.     

Stable Nucleation for the Ginzburg-Landau System with an Applied Magnetic Field

We consider the Ginzburg‐Landau system with an applied magnetic field and analyze the behavior of solutions when the domain is a cylinder (of radius ) and the applied field is parallel to the axis. It is shown that there is an upper critical value such that if the modulus of the applied field is greater than , the normal (nonsuperconducting) state (in which the order parameter is identically zero) is stable and if the modulus of the applied field is slightly below , the normal state is unstable. In addition, it is shown that there is a positive lower critical value such that the normal state is unstable if the modulus of the applied field is less than and stable if the modulus is slightly above . In the case of type‐II materials for whic h the Ginzburg‐Landau constant κ is large, it is shown that there is a discrete set of radii ℬ(κ) such that if and is sufficiently large, then for each applied field of modulus slightly less than (or slightly more than ) there is precisely one small superconducting solution (up to a gauge transformation) which is stable. Moreover for this solution, the complex‐valued order parameter ψ is zero only on the axis of the cylinder, and its winding number is proportional to the product of κ² and the cross‐sectional area of the cylinder. In addition, the solution exhibits “surface superconductivity” as predicted by the physicists de Gennes and St. James. (Accepted July 15, 1996)     

Momentum and heat transfer in the magnetohydrodynamic stagnation-point flow of a viscoelastic fluid toward a stretching surface

An analysis is made of the steady two-dimensional stagnation-point flow of an incompressible viscoelastic fluid over a flat deformable surface when the surface is stretched in its own plane with a velocity proportional to the distance from the stagnation-point. It is shown that for a viscoelastic conducting fluid of short memory (obeying Walters’ Bʹ model), a boundary layer is formed when the stretching velocity of the surface is less than the inviscid free-stream velocity and velocity at a point increases with increase in the Hartmann number. On the other hand an inverted boundary layer is formed when the surface stretching velocity exceeds the velocity of the free stream and the velocity decreases with increase in the Hartmann number. A novel result of the analysis is that the flow near the stretching surface is that corresponding to an inviscid stagnation-point flow when the surface stretching velocity is equal to the velocity of the free stream. Temperature distribution in the boundary layer is found when the surface is held at constant temperature and surface heat flux is determined. It is found that in the absence of viscous and Ohmic dissipation and strain energy in the flow, temperature at a point decreases with increase in the Hartmann number.     

Postbuckling instability of nonlinear nanobeam with geometric imperfection embedded in elastic foundation

In this paper, the static instability of a nanobeam with geometrical imperfections that is embedded in elastic foundation is investigated. Size-dependent effect is included in the nonlinear model. It is argued that nonlocal parameter may render the nanobeam initially unstable. Static response is studied and the condition for instability is stated. The exact postbuckling solution for both the straight and curved nanobeam is presented. It is shown that the bifurcation diagram of a curved nanobeam with initial sinusoidal configuration is similar to that of a straight nanobeam in its nearest buckling mode. The results are verified with pervious relevant works on straight nanobeams and classical theory of curved beams and excellent agreement is shown.     

Propagation of weak waves in elastic-plastic and elastic-viscoplastic solids with interfaces

A numerical technique based on the method of singular surfaces has been developed for the computation of wave propagation in solids exhibiting rate-independent elastic-plastic or rate-dependent elastic-viscoplastic behavior. The von Mises yield condition and associated flow rule is taken to represent the rate-independent behavior, while the Perzyna dynamic overstress model is taken to represent the rate-dependent behavior. For 1100-0 Al, a good empirical fit with published experimental data was found to be: $J_2{}^{1/2}?\kappa \left(W^p\right)=\left({\tau }_0/{\gamma }_0\right)\left(\stackrel{0}{W^p}/J_2{}^{1/2}\right)$ where:J₂ is the second invariant of the stress deviator;_k(W^p) is the static hardening curve;W^p is the plastic work and the parameter (τ₀/γ₀) = 0 (rate-independent model) or (80)^?1 to (70)^?1 MPa · s. In the numerical technique, the “connection equations” which provide relations between discontinuities in space and time derivatives lend themselves naturally to finite difference representations. A five-point space-time grid (center point coincident with the instantaneous location of the singular surface) is sufficient for the differenced form of the connection equations and suggests a natural marching scheme for the calculation of all necessary variables at each time step. Supplementing these equations which hold in the interior of the specimen are interface equations which assure continuity in stress and velocity across boundaries which separate materials with dissimilar properties. Application of the technique is made to wave propagation in pure shear for the purpose of comparing numerical predictions with relevant experimental data. The measurements of Duffyet al.[10] which are obtained from the torsional Kolsky apparatus (one dimensional torsional shear wave propagation in a thin-walled tube) were compared with predictions obtained numerically. By using the experimental input pulse history and the constitutive equation reported above, excellent agreement between the predicted and observed histories of reflected and transmitted pulses was obtained when the viscoplastic model was used. Poorer agreement was observed when the rate-independent model (τ₀/γ₀=0) was used. It is concluded that the Perzyna model gives good results for the behavior of 1100-0 Al at high rates of strain.
