Turbulent flow in converging nozzles,part one: boundary layer solution

The boundary layer integral method is used to investigate the development of the turbulent swirling flow at the entrance region of a conical nozzle. The governing equations in the spherical coordinate system are simplified with the boundary layer assumptions and integrated through the boundary layer. The resulting sets of differential equations are then solved by the fourth-order Adams predictor-corrector method. The free vortex and uniform velocity profiles are applied for the tangential and axial velocities at the inlet region, respectively. Due to the lack of experimental data for swirling flows in converging nozzles, the developed model is validated against the numerical simulations. The results of numerical simulations demonstrate the capability of the analytical model in predicting boundary layer parameters such as the boundary layer growth, the shear rate, the boundary layer thickness, and the swirl intensity decay rate for different cone angles. The proposed method introduces a simple and robust procedure to investigate the boundary layer parameters inside the converging geometries.     

The exact solution for the general bending problems of conical shells on the elastic foundation

The general bending problem of conical shells on the elastic foundation (Winkler Medium) is not solved. In this paper, the displacement solution method for this problem is presented. From the governing differential equations in displacement form of conical shell and by introducing a displacement function U(s,θ), the differential equations are changed into an eight-order soluble partial differential equation about the displacement function U(s,θ) in which the coefficients are variable. At the same time, the expressions of the displacement and internal force components of the shell are also given by the displacement function U(s θ). As special cases of this paper, the displacement function introduced by V.S. Vlasov in circular cylindrical shell^[5], the basic equation of the cylindrical shell on the elastic foundation and that of the circular plates on the elastic foundation are directly derived.Under the arbitrary loads and boundary conditions, the general bending problem of the conical shell on the elastic foundation is reduced to find the displacement function U(s,θ).The general solution of the eight-order differential equation is obtained in series form. For the symmetric bending deformation of the conical shell on the elastic foundation, which has been widely usedinpractice,the detailed numerical results and boundary influence coefficients for edge loads have been obtained. These results have important meaning in analysis of conical shell combination construction on the elastic foundation,and provide a valuable judgement for the numerical solution accuracy of some of the same type of the existing problem.

The influence of elastic waves on dynamic stress intensity factors (two-dimensional problems)

Summary In this paper, an indirect boundary integral equation method for the solution of dynamic crack problems is presented. The Laplace transform method is used to derive the fundamental solutions for the opening mode (mode I) and the sliding mode (mode II) displacement discontinuity. Accurate dynamic stress intensity factorsK _N (t) (N=I,II) resulting from different time-dependent loads on the crack surface are obtained. The specific influences of the various elastic waves on the stress intensity factors can be clearly seen from the results.On leave Central-South University of Technology Changsha, P.R. China

从三维轴对称土体模型出发,同时考虑土体竖向和径向位移,对弹性支承桩在垂直谐和激振力作用下与土的耦合振动特性进行了分析。假定桩为竖直弹性等截面体,土为线性粘弹性体,其材料阻尼为滞回阻尼。首先通过引入势函数对土体位移进行分解,从而将土体动力平衡方程解耦,求解得到了土层的振动模态形式,然后利用桩土接触面上力平衡和位移连续条件来考虑桩土耦合作用,求解桩的动力平衡方程,得到了桩顶的频域响应解析解、复刚度和速度导纳,利用卷积定理和傅立叶逆变换,求得了半正弦脉冲激振力作用下桩顶速度时域响应半解析解。利用所得解对桩的振动特性进行了无量纲参数分析,得到了许多新的结论。     

Analytical solution of a double moving boundary problem for nonlinear flows in one-dimensional semi-infinite long porous media with low permeability简

Based on Huang＇s accurate tri-sectional nonlin- ear kinematic equation （1997）, a dimensionless simplified mathematical model for nonlinear flow in one-dimensional semi-infinite long porous media with low permeability is presented for the case of a constant flow rate on the inner boundary. This model contains double moving boundaries, including an internal moving boundary and an external mov- ing boundary, which are different from the classical Stefan problem in heat conduction： The velocity of the external moving boundary is proportional to the second derivative of the unknown pressure function with respect to the distance parameter on this boundary. Through a similarity transfor- mation, the nonlinear partial differential equation （PDE） sys- tem is transformed into a linear PDE system. Then an ana- lytical solution is obtained for the dimensionless simplified mathematical model. This solution can be used for strictly checking the validity of numerical methods in solving such nonlinear mathematical models for flows in low-permeable porous media for petroleum engineering applications. Finally, through plotted comparison curves from the exact an- alytical solution, the sensitive effects of three characteristic parameters are discussed. It is concluded that with a decrease in the dimensionless critical pressure gradient, the sensi- tive effects of the dimensionless variable on the dimension- less pressure distribution and dimensionless pressure gradi- ent distribution become more serious; with an increase in the dimensionless pseudo threshold pressure gradient, the sensi- tive effects of the dimensionless variable become more serious; the dimensionless threshold pressure gradient （TPG） has a great effect on the external moving boundary but has little effect on the internal moving boundary.     

Effect of the compliant interlayer on the dynamic stress intensity factor in a piecewise-homogeneous solid with a circular crack

The dynamic behavior of a circular crack in an elastic composite consisting of two dissimilar half-spaces connected by a thin compliant interlayer is studied. One half-space contains a defect aligned perpendicular to the interlayer; the defect surfaces are loaded by normal harmonic forces, which ensures the symmetry of the stress-strain state. The thin interlayer is modeled by conditions of a nonideal contact of the half-spaces. The problem is reduced to a boundary integral equation with respect to the function of dynamic opening of the defect. The numerical solution of this equation yields frequency dependences of the mode I stress intensity factor in the vicinity of the crack for different values of interlayer thickness and relations between the moduli of elasticity of the composite components. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 49, No. 3, pp. 197–207, May–June, 2008.
