Mixed convection flow over a vertical plate with localized heating (cooling), magnetic field and suction (injection)

An analysis is carried out to study the effects of localized heating (cooling), suction (injection), buoyancy forces and magnetic field for the mixed convection flow on a heated vertical plate. The localized heating or cooling introduces a finite discontinuity in the mathematical formulation of the problem and increases its complexity. In order to overcome this difficulty, a non-uniform distribution of wall temperature is taken at finite sections of the plate. The nonlinear coupled parabolic partial differential equations governing the flow have been solved by using an implicit finite-difference scheme. The effect of the localized heating or cooling is found to be very significant on the heat transfer, but its effect on the skin friction is comparatively small. The buoyancy, magnetic and suction parameters increase the skin friction and heat transfer. The positive buoyancy force (beyond a certain value) causes an overshoot in the velocity profiles.A mass transfer constant - B magnetic field - C_fx skin friction coefficient in the x-direction - C_p specific heat at constant pressure, kJ.kg^–1.K - C_v specific heat at constant volume, kJ.kg^–1.K^–1 - E electric field - g acceleration due to gravity, 9.81 m.s^–2 - Gr Grashof number - h heat transfer coefficient, W.m².K^–1 - Ha Hartmann number - k thermal conductivity, W.m^–1.K - L characteristic length, m - M magnetic parameter - Nu_x local Nusselt number - p pressure, Pa, N.m^–2 - Pr Prandtl number - q heat flux, W.m^–2 - Re Reynolds number - Re_m magnetic Reynolds number - T temperature, K - T_o constant plate temperature, K - u,v velocity components, m.s^–1 - V characteristic velocity, m.s^–1 - x,y Cartesian coordinates - thermal diffusivity, m².s^–1 - coefficient of thermal expansion, K^–1 - , transformed similarity variables - dynamic viscosity, kg.m^–1.s^–1 - ₀ magnetic permeability - kinematic viscosity, m².s^–1 - density, kg.m^–3 - buoyancy parameter - electrical conductivity - stream function, m².s^–1 - dimensionless constant - dimensionless temperature, K - w, conditions at the wall and at infinity     

Similarity in the flow of a magnetized plasma around a plate and a cylinder

The article is devoted to a verification of the law of similarity in the flow of a rarefied magnetized plasma around a body under conditions which simulate the conditions of flow around artificial earth satellites in the ionosphere. The law of similarity for flow around plates and cylinders of different sizes (R₀/_i0.5–1, V₀/V_i1.5–2) is confirmed experimentally. It is shown that the patterns of flow around a plate and a cylinder coincide at small values of the parameter (=R₀/z_H). The effect of the potential of the bodies on their flow patterns is studied.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 2, pp. 3–12, March–April, 1973.The authors thank A.

Investigation of pre-separation boundary layer flows on the basis of various algebraic models of turbulence

The problem of the three-dimensional incompressible turbulent boundary layer developing ahead of a circular cylinder mounted at right angles on a flat plate is considered. The direction of the uniform approach stream is normal to the leading edge of the plate. The turbulence is simulated by means of five different isotropic algebraic models of eddy viscosity. The boundary layer equations are solved numerically by means of a second-order-accurate implicit finite-difference method. The principal characteristics of the flow obtained on the basis of the turbulence models selected are compared for a free-stream Reynolds number Re = 10⁷.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 6, pp. 36–43, November–December, 1991.     

Behavior of spherical solid particles released in a laminar boundary layer along a flat plate

The behavior of a very small solid spherical particle initially at rest on the surface of a flat plate in a laminar boundary layer along the plate is investigated. The Stokes drag is the only force considered to be acting on the particle. The fluid Reynolds number Re _f is assumed to be large, and the particle Reynolds number Re is assumed to be small. The equations describing the motion of the particle are two simultaneous, second order, nonlinear, ordinary differential equations with one parameter. A complete digital computer solution and analytic limiting solutions for large and small values of a dimensionless time have been obtained. The numerical and the analytic solutions are in close agreement. The results presented are the velocity, trajectory, and time history of the particle and the force acting on the particle. These results show that the particle comes into equilibrium with the fluid very quickly with respect to the spatial coordinates, rising only several radii from the surface in its entire flight.Nomenclature a diameter of the particle - F force acting on the particle - F ₁ lift force - F _M Magnus force - i, j unit vectors parallel and perpendicular to the plate, respectively - Re = u a ^–1 Reynolds number for the particle based on the reference fluid velocity - Re _f = u x ₀ ^–1, Reynolds number for the fluid - Re _p |w _f –w | a ^–1, Reynolds number for the particle - t time - u component of particle velocity parallel to the plate - u _f component of fluid velocity parallel to the plate - u free-stream fluid velocity - U , dimensionless component of particle velocity parallel to the plate - U _f Re _f Re ^–1 u ^–1 U _f, dimensionless component of fluid velocity parallel to the plate - v component of particle velocity perpendicular to the plate - v _f component of fluid velocity perpendicular to the plate - V , dimensionless component of particle velocity perpendicular to the plate - V _f Re _f ^3/2 Re ^–2 u v _f, dimensionless component of fluid velocity perpendicular to the plate - w u i+v j, velocity of the particle - w _f u _f i+v _f j, velocity of the fluid - w dw/dt - x horizontal distance of the center of the particle from the leading edge of the plate - x ₀ initial horizontal distance of the center of the particle from the leading edge of the plate - X xx ₀ ^–1 , dimensionless horizontal distance of the center of the particle from the leading edge of the plate - y vertical distance of the center of the particle from the plate - Y ya ^–1, dimensionless vertical distance of the center of the particle from the plate - ^–1 - 0.332 - Re Re _f ^–3/2 - - - viscosity of the fluid - _f ^–1 , kinematic viscosity of the fluid - _f density of the fluid - _p density of the particle - , dimensionless time - angular velocity of the particle     

Experimental investigation of the stability of a supersonic boundary layer on a plate with blunting of the leading edge

In an aerodynamic tube, an experimental investigation of the development of small natural perturbations in a laminar boundary layer on a plate was made. The measurements were made using a thermoanemometric method with a Mach number M = 2 and a unit Reynolds number Re₁ = 3.1·10⁶ m^–1. An investigation of the effect of blunting of the leading edge of the plate on the development of the perturbations was made. It is shown that blunting decreases the range of unstable frequencies and the region of instability and increases the critical Reynolds number of the loss of stability. In the initial section of the plate there is a rise in the perturbations of all frequencies up to a maximal value, whose coordinate is inversely proportional to the frequency. The development of perturbations in this region is insensitive to the state of the boundary layer. The position of the maximum does not change with blunting of the leading edge.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 65–70, July–August, 1977.     

Density distribution in rarefied gas flow behind a perforated plate

The relative density distribution in the rarefied CO₂ flow field behind a perforated plate has been experimentally investigated on the range of Knudsen numbers 10^–3 Kn 10^–1. The results of these experiments serve to demonstrate the validity of using the molecular velocity distribution function for determining the relative density on the Knudsen number interval in question. This distribution function was previously employed for calculating the parameters in molecular beams formed by capillary sieves in the free-molecular flow regime [1].Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, pp. 183–184, May–June, 1989.     

Asymptotic solution to the problem of drag of a fluid by a moving plate

An analogy is established between the formulations of the problem of the drag of a fluid by a moving plate [1–3] and the problem of propagation of a stationary flame [4, 5]. The theory of singular perturbations is used to a find a two-term asymptotic expression for the film thickness h₀. The expansion parameter is the Bond number Bo 1. The limited applicability of the well-known formula of [1, 2] is estimated quantitatively. Such an estimate has been obtained earlier experimentally [3]. The approach used in the present paper should also be fruitful for the solution of other problems in capillary hydrodynamics.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 6, pp. 52–56, November–December, 1980.     

Cone in a supersonic flow near a surface with a turbulent boundary layer

The published information about the interaction of incident shocks and a turbulent boundary layer relate to cases of a thin boundary layer ( 1–3 mm) on a flat surface. The present study relates to supersonic flow with Mach number M = 3 and stagnation pressure p₀=1.2 MPa past cones near a surface with a thick boundary layer formed on a plate abutting the lower edge of a plane nozzle.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 177–180, July–August, 1991.     

Buoyancy Sustained by Viscous Dissipation

The quasi-parallel regime of a Darcy–Boussinesq boundary-layer flow over a permeable vertical flat plate adjacent to a fluid saturated porous medium is considered. Quasi-parallel means here a plane flow with a constant transversal velocity v=–v ₀ directed perpendicularly towards the vertical surface, where a lateral suction with the same velocity –v ₀ is applied. The plate is held at a constant temperature T _w which coincides with the ambient temperature T of the fluid. The heat released by viscous dissipation induces a density gradient in the fluid. Thus, although T _w=T , a thermal convection occurs. The steady regime of this self-sustaining buoyant flow has been examined in detail. Wall jet-like profiles with a continuous but finite spectrum of the momentum flow have been found. These self-sustaining buoyant jets show a universal behavior, that is, there exist certain length, velocity and temperature scales such that the flow characteristics become independent of the (constant) material properties of the fluid and the porous medium as well.

The nondimensional riblet spacings ⁺, which determines the effect of the riblets on the turbulent friction drag, and the effect of riblets on the upper and/or lower surface of a straight wing on its drag, lift, and moment characteristics are estimated.Moscow.

Experimental investigation of separation of turbulent boundary layer in vicinity of a step

The results of an experimental investigation of the separation of a turbulent boundary layer in the vicinity of a step on a flat plate at M = 2 and 3, and Re = U/v = (26–66)·10⁶ m^–1 are given. The step height was varied from 3 to 16 mm, which corresponded to the range of relative heights 1.1 h/ 7.6, where is the thickness of the boundary layer at the point at which the pressure starts to increase in front of the step. The obtained data for the pressure distribution in front of the step, and on its face and top surface, and the results of probe measurements in the separation and adjacent regions provide a more accurate scheme of the flow. The obtained data are compared with the results of other investigations.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 5, pp. 73–80, September–October, 1977.We express our thanks to A.

Free convection effects on the oscillatory flow of water at 4° C. past an infinite vertical,porous plate with constant suction

An analysis of a two-dimensional flow of water at 4 °C past an infinite vertical, porous plate is presented under the following conditions — i) suction velocity normal to the plate is constant, ii) the free stream oscillates in time about a constant mean, iii) the plate temperature is constant, iv) the difference between the temperature of the plate and the free stream is moderately large causing free convection currents. — Approximate solutions to coupled non-linear equations are derived for the mean velocity, the mean temperature, the mean skin-friction, the mean rate of heat transfer, the transient velocity and the transient temperature, the amplitude and the phase of the skin-friction and the rate of heat transfer. The mean flow of water at 4 °C is compared with that of water at 20 °C in a quantitative manner for both G >0 (cooling of the plate) and G < 0 (heating of the plate). — It is observed that owing to a fall in the temperature of the water from 20 °C to 4 ° C, there is a fall in the mean skin-friction when the plate is being cooled by the free convection currents, and a rise in the mean skin-friction when the plate is being heated by the free convection currents. The amplitude of the skin-friction, for water at 4°C, remains the same for both G > <0 whereas greater cooling of the plate causes a rise in the amplitude of the rate of heat transfer ¦Q ¦ /E and greater heating of the plate causes a fall in ¦ Q ¦ /E.

Zusammenfassung Die zweidimensionale Stromung von Wasser bei 4 °C an einer unendlichen senkrechten Wand wird unter folgenden Bedingungen untersucht: 1) konstante Absauggeschwindigkeit normal zur Wand, 2) zeitliche Schwankungen der Freistromgeschwindigkeit um einen Mittelwert, 3) konstante Wandtemperatur, 4) mäßige Temperaturdifferenz zwischen Platte und Freistrom zur Erzeugung freier Konvektion. — Näherungslösungen der gekoppelten nichtlinearen Gleichungen sind abgeleitet für die mittlere Geschwindigkeit, die mittlere Temperatur, die mittlere Wandreibung, die mittlere Wärmeübertragung, die nichtstationäre Geschwindigkeit und Temperatur und die Amplitude und Phase der Wandreibung und der Warmeübertragung. Die Strömung von Wasser bei 4°C is quantitativ verglichen mit der bei 20°C für G > 0 (Kühlung der Platte) und G < 0 (Heizung der Platte). — Erniedrigung der Temperatur von 20°C auf 4°C ergibt geringere Wandreibung bei Kühlung und höhere Wandreibung bei Heizung der Platte. Für Wasser von 4°C bleibt die Amplitude der Wandreibung für G < 0 gleich; stärkere Kühlung ergibt einen Anstieg in der Amplitude der Warmeübertragung ¦Q¦/E, starkere Heizung einen Abfall in ¦q¦/E.

Hypersonic flow over a narrow delta plate at large angles of attack

The problem of hypersonic flow over a flat delta plate with a high sweepback anglex at angles of attack close to /2 is solved using a numerical algorithm based on transition to the conical solution. The existence of conical flow at /2 with the velocity vector directed towards the apex of the plate is established. Values ofC _p/sin² and the thickness of the shock layer in the plane of symmetry of the plate are given as functions of the hypersonic similarity parameterk=tan tanx. A comparison of the calculated and experimental data shows that they are in good agreement.Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Akademii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No.5, pp. 183–185, September–October, 1992.

An approximate solution is obtained to the problem of the force interaction of a jet of ideal gas exhausting from an axisymmetric nozzle onto a plate.

Study of heat transfer in the separation zones formed in front of supersonic jets in a subsonic carrier flow

The heat transfer taking place between the gas and the surface of the plate in the zone of three-dimensional separation of the turbulent boundary layer in front of a set of supersonic jets injected perpendicularly to a subsonic carrier flow is considered. The aim of this investigation is to establish the main physical characteristics of heat transfer in the separation zones in front of jet obstacles and to obtain the distributions of the local heat-transfer coefficients and the temperature of the thermally insulating wall as functions of the parameters of the carrier flow and the injected jets. Analysis of the experimental results yields certain approximating relationships for the distribution of the local heat-transfer coefficients as functions of the Mach number of the carrier flow M, the Mach number of the jet M_j, the relative boundary-layer displacement thickness _s= _s ^* /d, and the degree of jet superheating T_ojT_o relative to the separation zones in front of supersonic jet obstacles.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 68–72, July–August, 1975.

Influence of the atomic weight of the target on the magnitude of the energy accommodation coefficient of ions of a partially ionized gas flow

One of the most essential parameters in the investigation of singularities in molecule interaction with the surface of a solid is the energy accommodation coefficient. Data on the positive ion accommodation coefficients in the energy range 1–100 eV are scarce [1], hence the value of _i is often taken close to one, although this condition is not satisfied in practice for the majority of working gases. In this paper we discuss the resultant measurements of the value of _i in a high-speed flow of rarified plasma.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 3, pp. 83–87, May–June, 1979.     

Rheological properties of skim milk gels at various temperatures; interrelation between the dynamic moduli and the relaxation modulus

The rheological properties of rennet-induced skim milk gels were determined by two methods, i.e., via stress relaxation and dynamic tests. The stress relaxation modulusG _c (t) was calculated from the dynamic moduliG andG by using a simple approximation formula and by means of a more complex procedure, via calculation of the relaxation spectrum. Either calculation method gave the same results forG _c (t). The magnitude of the relaxation modulus obtained from the stress relaxation experiments was 10% to 20% lower than that calculated from the dynamic tests.Rennet-induced skim milk gels did not show an equilibrium modulus. An increase in temperature in the range from 20° to 35 °C resulted in lower moduli at a given time scale and faster relaxation. Dynamic measurements were also performed on acid-induced skim milk gels at various temperatures andG _c (t) was calculated. The moduli of the acid-induced gels were higher than those of the rennet-induced gels and a kind of permanent network seemed to exist, also at higher temperatures.

Heat transfer in supersonic flow over a single spherical cavity

The flow and heat transfer on a plate with a single spherical cavity has been experimentally investigated for M=4 and Re_,L=3.1 · 10⁶. The flow pattern over the cavity has been obtained. Zones of enhanced heat transfer have been detected, and the heat transfer coefficients in and near the cavity have been determined.
