Effective downstream boundary conditions for incompressible Navier–Stokes equations

The aim of this paper is to give open boundary conditions for the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. From a weak formulation in velocity–pressure variables, some natural boundary conditions involving the traction or pseudotraction and inertial terms are established. Numerical experiments on the flow behind a cylinder show the efficiency of these conditions, which convey properly the vortices downstream. Comparisons with other boundary conditions for the velocity and pressure are also performed.

Solution of three-dimensional viscous incompressible flows by a multi-grid method

The three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations for viscous incompressible fluids are discretized on staggered or non-staggered grids. The system of finite-difference equations is solved by a multi-grid method. The method and some possible sources of difficulties and their remedies are described. The numerical algorithm has been applied to the computations of flows in ducts for a range of Reynolds numbers up to 2000. As outflow boundary conditions, either the fully developed flow profile (Dirichlet condition) or parabolic conditions have been applied. The multi-grid method has a fast rate of convergence (with both types of boundary conditions), and it is not sensitive to the number of mesh points and the Reynolds number. The numerical solution, using parabolic boundary conditions, is insensitive to the location of the outflow boundary, even for large Reynolds numbers, in contrast to the solution with Dirichlet boundary conditions.

A Mixed Elastic Problem for an Isotropic Half-Plane with Circular Openings

A mixed problem is solved for a multiply connected half-plane with circular openings. Punches rigidly mated to the half-plane act on the rectilinear boundary. By using an analytic continuation through the unloaded parts of the rectilinear boundary and solving the obtained linear-conjunction problem for the slits of the multiply connected domain, the general representation of the complex potential containing unknown functions is found. These functions are holomorphic outside the openings and determined from the boundary conditions on the opening periphery and some additional equilibrium conditions for the punches. The indicated boundary conditions are satisfied with the help of the least-squares method. In the case where a punch acts on the boundary of a half-plane with one opening, the effects of the punch width and the relative position of the punch and the opening on the stress concentration and distribution are numerically evaluated     

Uniqueness in Law for Stochastic Boundary Value Problems

We study existence and uniqueness of solutions for second order ordinary stochastic differential equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions on a given interval. In the first part of the paper we provide sufficient conditions to ensure pathwise uniqueness, extending some known results. In the second part we show sufficient conditions to have the weaker concept of uniqueness in law and provide a significant example. Such conditions involve a linearized equation and are of different type with respect to the ones which are usually imposed to study pathwise uniqueness. This seems to be the first paper which deals with uniqueness in law for (anticipating) stochastic boundary value problems. We mainly use functional analytic tools and some concepts of Malliavin Calculus.

Analytical solutions for buckling of size-dependent Timoshenko beams

The inconsistences of the higher-order shear resultant expressed in terms of displacement(s) and the complete boundary value problems of structures modeled by the nonlocal strain gradient theory have not been well addressed. This paper develops a size-dependent Timoshenko beam model that considers both the nonlocal effect and strain gradient effect. The variationally consistent boundary conditions corresponding to the equations of motion of Timoshenko beams are reformulated with the aid of the weighted residual method. The complete boundary value problems of nonlocal strain gradient Timoshenko beams undergoing buckling are solved in closed forms. All the possible higher-order boundary conditions induced by the strain gradient are selectively suggested based on the fact that the buckling loads increase with the increasing aspect ratios of beams from the conventional mechanics point of view. Then, motivated by the expression for beams with simply-supported(SS) boundary conditions, some semiempirical formulae are obtained by curve fitting procedures.     

Classification of variational principles in elasticity

In this paper, variational principels in elasticity are classified according to the differences in the constraints used in these principles. It is shown in a previous paper [4] that the stress-strain relations are the constraint conditions in all these variational principles, and cannot be removed by the method of linear Lagrange multiplier. The other possible constraints are four of them: (1) equations of equilibrium, (2) strain-displacement relations, (3) boundary conditions of given external forces and (4) boundary conditions of given boundary displacements. In variational principles of elasticity, some of them have only one kind of such constraints, some have two kinds or three kinds of constraints and at the most four kinds of constraints. Thus, we have altogether 15 kinds of possible variational principles. However, for every possible variational principle, either the strain energy density or the complementary energy density may be used. Hence, there are altogether 30 classes of functional of variational principles in elasticity. In this paper, all these functionals are tabulated in detail.     

Navier-Stokes equations with imposed pressure and velocity fluxes

Boundary value problems for Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations with non-standard boundary conditions are studied. Included is the case where the pressure or its normal derivative is given on some part of the boundary or the pressure is given up to a constant but given velocity flux. First, a variational formulation is introduced which is shown to be equivalent to the Stokes equations with the non-standard boundary conditions under consideration. The existence and uniqueness of the solution of the variational problem are studied. Secondly, most of the results obtained for the Stokes equations are extended to the case of the Navier-Stokes equations. The final section is devoted to numerical experiments, flows in pipes and physiological flows.

The influence of boundary layers on supersonic inlet flow unstart induced by mass injection

A transverse jet is injected into a supersonic model inlet flow to induce unstart. Planar laser Rayleigh scattering from condensed CO₂ particles is used to visualize flow dynamics during the unstart process, while in some cases, wall pressure traces are simultaneously recorded. Studies conducted over a range of inlet configurations reveal that the presence of turbulent wall boundary layers strongly affect the unstart dynamics. It is found that relatively thick turbulent boundary layers in asymmetric wall boundary layer conditions prompt the formation of unstart shocks; in symmetric boundary conditions lead to the propagation of pseudo-shocks; and in both cases facilitate fast inlet unstart, when compared with thin, laminar boundary layers. Incident shockwaves and associated reflections are found to affect the speed of pressure disturbances. These disturbances, which induce boundary layer separation, are found to precede the formation of unstart shocks. The results confirm the importance of and need to better understand shock-boundary layer interactions in inlet unstart dynamics.     

A NECESSARY AND SUFFICIENT FORMULATION FOR TORSION PROBLEMS OF ANISOTROPIC BODIES

Non-dimensionalized equations and boundary conditions are presentedfor the torsion problem of an anisotropic body.The error of the fundamental solutioncited in some boundary element books is pointed out after an examination of thefundamental solution.Furthermore,a necessary and sufficient boundary integralequation is given for the problem and compared with the conventional boundaryintegral equation.Numerical results show that great errors of the boundary shearstresses obtained by the conventional boundary integral equation appear with a smallerror of torsion stiffness.Meanwhile,the necessary and sufficient boundary integralequation always gives accurate results.

Axisymmetric compressive buckling of multi-walled carbon nanotubes under different boundary conditions

The paper studies the axisymmetric compressive buckling behavior of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) under different boundary conditions based on continuum mechanics model. A buckling condition is derived for determining the critical buckling load and associated buckling mode of MWNTs, and numerical results are worked out for MWNTs with different aspect ratios under fixed and simply supported boundary conditions. It is shown that the critical buckling load of MWNTs is insensitive to boundary conditions, except for nanotubes with smaller radii and very small aspect ratio. The associated buckling modes for different layers of MWNTs are in-phase, and the buckling displacement ratios for different layers are independent of the boundary conditions and the length of MWNTs. Moreover, for simply supported boundary conditions, the critical buckling load is compared with the corresponding one for axial compressive buckling, which indicates that the critical buckling load for axial compressive buckling can be well approximated by the corresponding one for axisymmetric compressive buckling. In particular, for axial compressive buckling of double-walled carbon nanotubes, an analytical expression is given for approximating the critical buckling load. The present investigation may be of some help in further understanding the mechanical properties of MWNTs.     

On Low-Dimensional Galerkin Models for Fluid Flow

In this paper some implications of the technique of projecting the Navier–Stokes equations onto low-dimensional bases of eigenfunctions are explored. Such low-dimensional bases are typically obtained by truncating a particularly well-suited complete set of eigenfunctions at very low orders, arguing that a small number of such eigenmodes already captures a large part of the dynamics of the system. In addition, in the treatment of inhomogeneous spatial directions of a flow, eigenfunctions that do not satisfy the boundary conditions are often used, and in the Galerkin projection the corresponding boundary conditions are ignored. We show how the restriction to a low-dimensional basis as well as improper treatment of boundary conditions can affect the range of validity of these models. As particular examples of eigenfunction bases, systems of Karhunen–Loève eigenfunctions are discussed in more detail, although the results presented are valid for any basis.
