Improvement for expansion of parabolized stability equation method in boundary layer stability analysis

An improved expansion of the parabolized stability equation(iEPSE) method is proposed for the accurate linear instability prediction in boundary layers. It is a local eigenvalue problem, and the streamwise wavenumber α and its streamwise gradient dα/dx are unknown variables. This eigenvalue problem is solved for the eigenvalue dα/dx with an initial α, and the correction of α is performed with the conservation relation used in the PSE. The i EPSE is validated in several compressible and incompressible boundary layers. The computational results show that the prediction accuracy of the i EPSE is significantly higher than that of the ESPE, and it is in excellent agreement with the PSE which is regarded as the baseline for comparison. In addition, the unphysical multiple eigenmode problem in the EPSE is solved by using the i EPSE. As a local non-parallel stability analysis tool, the i EPSE has great potential application in the eNtransition prediction in general three-dimensional boundary layers.     

Propagation of Love waves in non-homogeneous substratum over initially stressed heterogeneous half-space

The paper studies the propagation of Love waves in a non-homogeneous substratum over an initially stressed heterogeneous half-space. The dispersion equation of phase velocity is derived. The velocities of Love waves are calculated numerically as a function of kH and presented in a number of graphs, where k is the wave number, and H is the thickness of the layer. The case of Gibson’s half-space is also considered. It is observed that the speed of Love waves is finite in the vicinity of the surface of the half-space and vanishes as the depth increases for a particular wave number. It is also observed that an increase in compressive initial stresses causes decreases of Love waves velocity for the same frequency, and the tensile initial stress of small magnitude in the half-space causes increase of the velocity.

This paper addresses the regularity and finite dimensionality of the global attractor for the plate equation on the unbounded domain. The existence of the attractor in the phase space has been established in an earlier work of the author. It is shown that the attractor is actually a bounded set of the phase space and has finite fractal dimensionality.     

CONSTITUTIVE RELATION OF UNSATURATED SOIL BY USE OF THE MIXTURE THEORY (Ⅱ)-LINEAR CONSTITUTIVE EQUATIONS AND FIELD EQUATIONS

The linear constitutive equations and field equations of unsaturated soils were obtained through linearizing the nonlinear equations given in the first part of this work. The linear equations were expressed in the forms similar to Biot’s equations for saturated porous media. The Darcy’s laws of unsaturated soil were proved. It is shown that Biot’s equations of saturated porous media are the simplification of the theory. All these illustrate that constructing constitutive relation of unsaturated soil on the base of mixture theory is rational.     

Viscous falling film instability around a vertical moving cylinder

The present work discusses both the linear and nonlinear stability conditions of a viscous falling film down the outer surface of a solid vertical cylinder which moves in the direction of its axis with a constant velocity.After studying the linear conditions,a generalized nonlinear kinematic model is then derived to present the physical system.Applying the boundary conditions,analytical solutions are obtained using the long-wave perturbation method.In the first step,the normal mode method is used to characterize the linear behaviors.In the second step,the nonlinear film flow model is solved by using the method of multiple scales,to obtain Ginzburg-Landau equation.The influence of some physical parameters is discussed in both linear and nonlinear steps of the problem,and the results are displayed in many plots showing the stability criteria in various parameter planes.     

Effect of the size and pressure on the modified viscosity of water in microchannels

The phenomenon that flow resistances are higher in micro scale flow than in normal flow is clarified through the liquid viscosity. Based on the experimental results of deionized water flow in fused silica microtubes with the inner radii of 2.5 μm, 5 μm, 7.5 μm, and 10 μm, respectively,the relationship between water flow velocity and pressure gradient along the axis of tube is analyzed, which gradually becomes nonlinear as the radius of the microtube decreases.From the correlation, a viscosity model of water flow derived from the radius of microtube and the pressure gradient is proposed. The flow results modified by the viscosity model are in accordance with those of experiments, which are verified by numerical simulation software and the Hagen–Poiseuille equation. The experimental water flow velocity in a fused silica microtube with diameter of 5.03 μm, which has not been used in the fitting and derivation of the viscosity model,is proved to be comsistent with the viscosity model, showing a rather good match with a relative difference of 5.56%.     

Subharmonic solution of a piecewise linear oscillator with tow degrees of freedom

In the present paper subharmonic resonance solution ofapiecewise linear oscillator with two degrees of freedom is studied. It is shown that in this system there exist a series of subharmonic resonance solutions, among them there are 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1J6,……subharmonic resonance solutions. The calculated results by the analogy computer and the field experiments in the factory partly verify this theory. Under certain circumstances, the generation of chaotic states of the oscillation is observed in analogy computer solutions.     

Equilibrium equations for 3D critical buckling of helical springs

In most cases,the research on the buckling of a helical spring is based on the column,the spring is equivalent to the column,and the torsion around the axial line is ignored.A three-dimensional(3D) helical spring model is considered in this paper.The equilibrium equations are established by introducing two coordinate systems,the Frenet and the principal axis coordinate systems,to describe the spatial deformation of the center line and the torsion of the cross section of the spring,respectively.By using a small deformation assumption,the variables of the deflection can be expanded into Taylor’s series,and the terms of high orders are ignored.Hence,the equations can be simplified to the functions of the twist angle and the arc length,which can be solved by a numerical method.The reaction loads of the spring caused by the axial load subjected to the center point are also discussed,giving the boundary conditions for the solution to the equilibrium equations.The present work is useful to the research on the behavior of the post-buckling of the compressed helical spring.     

Stability of plane-parallel flow of magnetic fluids under external magnetic fields

In this work,we present a theoretical study on the stability of a two-dimensional plane Poiseuille flow of magnetic fluids in the presence of externally applied magnetic fields.The fluids are assumed to be incompressible,and their magnetization is coupled to the flow through a simple phenomenological equation.Dimensionless parameters are defined,and the equations are perturbed around the base state.The eigenvalues of the linearized system are computed using a finite difference scheme and studied with respect to the dimensionless parameters of the problem.We examine the cases of both the horizontal and vertical magnetic fields.The obtained results indicate that the flow is destabilized in the horizontally applied magnetic field,but stabilized in the vertically applied field.We characterize the stability of the flow by computing the stability diagrams in terms of the dimensionless parameters and determine the variation in the critical Reynolds number in terms of the magnetic parameters.Furthermore,we show that the superparamagnetic limit,in which the magnetization of the fluids decouples from hydrodynamics,recovers the same purely hydrodynamic critical Reynolds number,regardless of the applied field direction and of the values of the other dimensionless magnetic parameters.

TORSIONAL VIBRATIONS OF RIGID CIRCULAR PLATE ON TRANSVERSELY ISOTROPIC SATURATED SOIL

An analytical method was presented for the torsional vibrations of a rigid disk resting on transversely isotropic saturated soil. By Hankel transform, the dynamic governing differential equations for transversely isotropic saturated poroelastic medium were solved.

By appropriate transform, the dual integral equations were converted into a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. Subsequently, the dynamic compliance coefficient, the torsional angular amplitude of the foundation and the contact shear stress were expressed explicitly. Selected examples were presented to analyse the influence of saturated soil's anisotropy on the foundation's vibrations.

TORSIONAL VIBRATIONS OF A RIGID CIRCULAR PLATE ON SATURATED STRATUM OVERLAYING BEDROCK

The torsional vibration of a rigid plate resting on saturated stratum overlaying bedrock has been analysed for the first time. The dynamic governing differential equations for saturated poroelastic medium are solved by employing the technology of Hankel transform. By taking into account the boundary conditions, the dual integral equations of torsional vibration of a rigid circular plate are established, which are further converted into a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. Subsequently, the dynamic compliance coefficients of the foundation on saturated stratum, the contact shear stress under the foundation and the angular amplitude of the foundation are evaluated. Numerical results indicate that, when the dimensionless height is bigger than 5, saturated stratum overlaying bedrock can be treated as saturated half space approximately. When the dimensionless frequency is low, the permeability of the soil must be taken into account. Furthermore, when the vibration frequency is a constant, the height of the saturated stratum has a slight effect on the dimensionless contact shear stress under the foundation.
