Apparent mass of a rectangular vessel filled with liquid

The problem of an impulse applied to a rigid rectangular vessel containing an ideal incompressible liquid is solved in a form that can be conveniently used to treat short vessels. The calculation of the apparent mass of the vessel was confirmed experimentally by the method of resonance vibrations.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 185–188, January–February, 1980.

Motion of a viscoplastic liquid in a porous inhomogeneous medium

Equations of motion are derived for a viscoplastic liquid in a nonuniform medium of type 2 (piecewise uniform) or type 3 (with a variable filtration coefficient) [1] on the assumption that the motion is of steady-state type. Solutions are presented for a parallel flow and a flow with axial symmetry.     

Vortex perturbations of the nonstationary motion of a liquid with a free boundary

The first studies on the stability of nonstationary motions of a liquid with a free boundary were published relatively recently [1–4]. Investigations were conducted concerning the stability of flow in a spherical cavity [1, 2], a spherical shell [3], a strip, and an annulus of an ideal liquid. In these studies both the fundamental motion and the perturbed motion were assumed to be potential flow. Changing to Lagrangian coordinates considerably simplified the solution of the problem. Ovsyannikov [5], using Lagrangian coordinates, obtained equations for small potential perturbations of an arbitrary potential flow. The resulting equations were used for solving typical examples which showed the degree of difficulty involved in the investigation of the stability of nonstationary motions [5–8]. In all of these studies the stability was characterized by the deviation of the free boundary from its unperturbed state, i.e., by the normal component of the perturbation vector. In the present study we obtain general equations for small perturbations of the nonstationary flow of a liquid with a free boundary in Lagrangian coordinates. We find a simple expression for the normal component of the perturbation vector. In the case of potential mass forces the resulting system reduces to a single equation for some scalar function with an evolutionary condition on the free boundary. We prove an existence and uniqueness theorem for the solution, and, in particular, we answer the question of whether the linear problem concerning small potential perturbations which was formulated in [5] is correct. We investigate two examples for stability: a) the stretching of a strip and b) the compression of a circular cylinder with the condition that the initial perturbation is not of potential type.

Chemoconcentration capillary effect associated with the motion of a drop in a liquid

The effect of a surface chemical reaction involving a weak soluble surface active substance on the motion of a drop in a liquid is investigated. It is shown that as a result of the Marangoni effect the non-uniformity in the distribution of the substance along the surface associated with the proper motion of the drop and the chemical reaction has an important influence on the nature of the motion of the drop and on the force exerted by the surrounding Liquid. Under certain conditions this Leads to the development of a thrust proportional to the velocity of the drop (chemoconcentration capillary effect). The condition of occurrence of the thrust is obtained, together with its dependence on various physical parameters.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 147–154, January–February, 1988.     

Symmetric shapes of contact of a jet with the surface of a heavy liquid

The plane linearized problem of oblique impingement of a weightless jet of an ideal incompressible fluid on the surface of a heavy fluid is considered. Flows are sought with symmetric forms of the contact region. Mathematically we arrive at the problem of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of an integral equation; solving this problem we obtain various contact forms. The fundamental result for the infinitesimally thin jet of finite intensity is derived by passing to the limit, yielding a result analagous with the forms of free vibrations of a string. Some results are presented for the problem under consideration in the nonlinear formulation.The two-dimensional problem on (vertical) impingement of a jet on a liquid was solved by Olmstead and Raynor [1]. Some results for oblique impingement of a sufficiently thin, slightly curved jet are presented by Frolov [2], Information on other studies, primarily experimental, is presented in [3].This problem is related to the model of a jet curtain of an air-cushion vehicle; in this regard we note the study of Stepanov [4] in which, in particular, a result is obtained for an infinitesimally thin jet curtain.     

Determination of the equilibrium state of a capillary liquid in a vessel

This article describes a method for determination of the form of the equilibrium surface of a liquid in a given vessel of arbitrary axiosymmetric form. Capillary, gravitational, and centrifugal forces act on the liquid. Liquid volume and wetting angle are given. Curves are constructed for the case of negative overloads by a homogeneous gravitational field, which are used to find the equilibrium states. An example which illustrates the application of the method is considered.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 3–7, July–August, 1973.     

Instability of sloshing motion in a vessel undergoing pivoted oscillations

Suspending a rectangular vessel partially filled with an inviscid fluid from a single rigid pivoting rod produces an interesting physical model for investigating the dynamic coupling between the fluid and vessel motion. The fluid motion is governed by the Euler equations relative to the moving frame of the vessel, and the vessel motion is given by a modified forced pendulum equation. The fully nonlinear, two-dimensional, equations of motion are derived and linearised for small-amplitude vessel and free-surface motions, and the natural frequencies of the system analysed. It is found that the linear problem exhibits an unstable solution if the rod length is shorter than a critical length which depends on the length of the vessel, the fluid height and the ratio of the fluid and vessel masses. In addition, we identify the existence of 1:1 resonances in the system where the symmetric sloshing modes oscillate with the same frequency as the coupled fluid/vessel motion. The implications of instability and resonance on the nonlinear problem are also briefly discussed.     

On the motion of a heavy dynamically symmetric rigid body with vibrating suspension point

The motion of a dynamically symmetric rigid body in a homogeneous field of gravity is studied. One point lying on the symmetry axis of the body (the suspension point) performs high-frequency periodic or conditionally periodic vibrations of small amplitude. In the framework of approximate equations of motion obtained earlier, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for the stability of the body rotation about the vertical symmetry axis and study the existence and stability of regular precessions of the body in the coordinate system translationally moving together with the suspension point.     

Nonstationary motion of a shell on the surface of a heavy fluid

A three-dimensional nonstationary problem of vibrations of a flexible shell moving on the surface of an ideal heavy fluid. The forces due to surface tension are ignored. The problem is formulated in the space of the acceleration potential. The potential of the pulsating source is found by solving the Euler equation and the continuity equation taking into account the free-surface conditions (linear theory of small waves) and the conditions at infinity. The density distribution function of the dipole layer is determined from the boundary conditions on the surface of the shell. Formulas for determining the shape of gravity waves on the fluid surface and the natural frequencies of vibrations of the shell are obtained. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 50, No. 4, pp. 66–75, July–August, 2009.
