Open-channel turbulent flow over non-uniform gravel beds

the measurements of flow over non-uniform gravel open channel have been conducted with Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV). The experimental results indicate that the distribution of mean velocity agrees well with the Nikuradse's law. From the distributions of resistance coefficient, reference level and turbulence intensity, the classification of small scale roughness case is obtained.Project supported by the National Science Foundation of China

Exchange of Chemical Species between the Atmospheric Boundary Layer and the Reservoir Layer: An Analytical Interpretation

The exchange of chemical species between the atmospheric boundary layer and the reservoir layer is investigated by means of an analytical solution of the conservation equation of a decaying chemical species. The exchange mechanism is governed by two parameters: the Damköhler number (the ratio of the turbulence time scale to the chemical time scale) and the ratio of a concentration scale in the atmospheric boundary layer to the concentration in the reservoir layer. Depending on the value of these two parameters, the exchange flux between the two layers can vary in sign and by several orders of magnitude. The study demonstrates to what extent chemical transformation determines the transfer of chemical species between the atmospheric boundary layer and the reservoir layer.     

水坝在水流作用下动力响应的一种分析方法

以广东某水坝为研究对象,给出一种基于Fluent平台和Ansys平台进行结构动力响应分析的方法。首先采用基于YOUNGS界面重构技术的VOF模型,对流动进行数值模拟,成功捕捉了闸门开启过程中自由面的变化,比较了在三种落差情况下水坝的受力差异。计算表明,即使在上游平稳的入流条件下,水坝所受到的湍流水压力也会出现波动现象,水压力对坝体的冲击为低频作用,下游水位的升高会减缓水压力的波动,这些特点都与现场观察的相符。然后将水动力作为激励条件导入结构动力分析平台Ansys后,进一步对坝体结构进行动力分析。结构的模态分析结果与实测结果一致。因此,方法可以应用于实际。     

Mixing in horizontally heterogeneous flows

An experimental study of mixing across density interfaces produced by laterally heterogenous turbulence is presented in this paper. The turbulence is generated by a flow or air bubles rising through a density interface produced by brine and fresh water. The mixing efficiency, , of the process is measured comparing the increase in potential energy with the available kinetic energy. We find that there is a decrease in the global mixing efficiency of the process with the length of the tank, the shape of (Ri) depends also on the air flow producing the turbulence, showing a geometrical limit to the ammount of kinetic energy which may be used for mixing.     

Wall Versus Centerline Polymer Injection in Turbulent Channel Flows

This experimental study compares the mean and turbulence characteristics of turbulent channel flows with polymer injection at the wall and at the centerline to assess the impact of the injection location on drag reduction. It also contrasts the drag reduction performance of a hydrolyzed polymer versus a non-ionic polymer under the same conditions. Wall injection of non-ionic and hydrolized polymers resulted in 23% and 9% larger drag reduction than corresponding centerline injection, respectively. In all cases, the polymer was structured and the presence of macromolecular polymer structures, even when concentrated mostly away from the wall, seemed to be able to affect the turbulence structure in the flow.     

开放剪切流空间全局动力学与空间相位斑图间的关系

开放流动空间动力学可基于两类全局能量关系式进行研究；而空间相位斑图则可通过互谱空间演化加以测定。全局能量关系式以时间Fourier系数的形式建立流场任意两点问速度脉动能量间的关系，籍此可定义全局意义上的线性、非线性和线性一非线性机制。基于轴对称剪切流、变密度轴对称圆射流以及平面对称剪切流的实验发现：轴对称旋涡结构的配对由线性、线性一非线性机制表征，对应有序空间相位斑图；并且能量可通过线性一非线性机制在具有相同相速度的扰动间传递。螺旋结构由线性机制表征，对应有序相位斑图。全局自激励振荡由非线性的能量共振表征，对应无序相位斑图。籍此，有序空间相位斑图对应线性和线性一非线性机制；而混沌相位斑图则对应非线性机制。

Orienting properties of discotic nematic liquid crystals in Jeffrey-Hamel flows

The orienting properties of incompressible discotic nematic liquid crystals for creeping flows between converging and diverging planar walls (Jeffrey-Hamel) are analyzed using the Leslie-Ericksen theory. The dependence of director orientation on the reactive parameter and the flow kinematics is presented. Closed form stationary solutions for the director orientation are found when elastic effects are neglected. Stationary numerical solutions for the velocity and director fields using the full Leslie-Ericksen theory are presented. The director field in converging flow is characterized by azimuthal (radial) centerline orientation, by being asymmetric with respect to the azimuthal (radial) direction, and by having an allowed orientation range that spans two half-quadrants (full quadrants). In the limiting case of perfectly flat disk ( –) the flow-induced director orientation in converging flow is the azimuthal direction, while in diverging flow the director rotates by a full n radians. By reducing the vertex angle between the walls to vanishingly small values, converging flow solutions properly reduce to those of flow between parallel plates, but diverging flows are expected to lead to a new instability.     

Spectral methods for compressible reactive flows

High order simulations are necessary in order to capture fine details in resolving supersonic reactive flows. However, high Mach number compressible flows feature sharp gradients and discontinuities, which present a challenge to successful simulations using high order methods. Spectral methods have proven a powerful tool in simulation of incompressible turbulent flows, and recent advances allow the application of spectral methods to compressible reactive flows. We review the recent advances in the theory and application of spectral methods which allow stable computations of discontinuous phenomena, and the recovery of high order information via postprocessing, and present applications of high Mach number reactive flows.
