Radiative-convective heat transfer in a plane layer of a selectively absorbing mist

This paper deals with the thermal field in a plane layer of selectively absorbing gas which has been injected into a steady turbulent stream of high-temperature gas flowing around a porous plate. The boundary-value problem in terms of the energy equation reduces to a nonlinear integral equation in terms of a dimensionless temperature, and this equation is solved numerically by the Newton-Kantorovich method. The results are presented on graphs of temperature and thermal flux in the absorbing gas layer as functions of the space coordinate. Such a problem has been analyzed in [1] for the case of an injected gray gas.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Technicheskoi Fiziki, No. 3, pp. 179–182, May–June, 1972.     

On the Nonlinearly Elastic Equilibrium of a Rectangular Multilayered Plate

A three-dimensional boundary-value problem of physically nonlinear elastic theory is solved for a multilayered plate. The nonlinear relationships between the stresses and small strains are assumed to be of the Kauderer form. The solution under given conditions is constructed as series in powers of a physical dimensionless small parameter. The physically nonlinear boundary-value problem is reduced to a recurrent sequence of linear boundary-value problems. The effect of the physical nonlinearity of the material on the stress–strain state of the plate is studied.     

Hydrothermal convection in a thin porous ring

Natural convection of the fluid in a thin porous ring on whose boundaries steady temperature distributions are maintained is considered. For this problem on the basis of the two-dimensional equations an integrodifferential equation is obtained in the zeroth approximation in terms of a small parameter, namely the relative thickness of convection. A parametric numerical investigation of the flow and temperature fields is carried out.Makhachkala, Kaspiisk.

Reflection of a strong shock wave from an ellipsoid

The reflection from an ellipsoid of a strong shock wave (with uniform parameters behind the wave) moving along one axis of the ellipse is considered. Viscosity and thermal conductivity of the gas are not considered. A solution is sought in the vicinity of the critical point using the small parameter method [1]. The nonlinear differential equations for the dimensionless components of the gas velocity in this region are solved by the method of separation of variables with the additional condition of [2]. Analytical expressions are found for the flow parameters, which for the cases of an elliptical cylinder and ellipsoid of revolution coincide with the corresponding expressions obtained previously in [2].Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 6, pp. 19–23, November–December, 1980.     

Convection of a viscous incompressible gas in rectangular regions with inlet and outlet channels

A study is made of two-dimensional problems of thermal convection of a viscous incompressible gas in rectangular regions that have gas inlet and outlet channels in the presence of a temperature difference between the bottom and the top (the bottom is heated). In contrast to the well-studied case of natural convection, when no-slip conditions are specified on all boundaries of the region and motion in the region occurs only through the temperature difference [1–4], the heat transfer in the investigated flows is complicated by the additional influence of the forced convection of the gas due to the motion of gas through the inlet and outlet channels. Flows of such type simulate well the processes that take place in many heat transfer devices and in ventilated and air-conditioned industrial premises. Two formulations of the problem are considered. In the first, the gas flow through the inlet and outlet channels is assumed given, and the solution of the problem is determined by the dimensionless Prandtl, Grashof, and Reynolds numbers. In the second case, this flow rate is not given but determined during the solution of the problem. The motion in the region arises from the difference between the temperatures of the bottom and the top of the region, and the motion, in its turn, causes a flow of gas through the inlet and outlet channels. As in the case of natural convection, the solution of the problem in this case is determined by only two dimensionless numbers — the Grashof and Prandtl numbers. By numerical solution of the boundary-value problems for the equations of heat transfer a study is made of the influence of the characteristic dimensionless numbers on the hydrodynamic and temperature fields and the heat fluxes through the boundaries of the region. The solutions of the problems in the two formulations are compared for different positions of the outlet channels.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 5, pp. 126–131, September–October, 1979.We thank G.

Experimental study of heat and mass transfer from a horizontal cylinder in downward air-water mist flow with blockage effect

An experimental study was made on convective heat and mass transfer from a horizontal heated cylinder in a downward flow of air-water mist at a blockage ratio of 0.4. The measured local heat transfer coefficients agree fairly well with the authors' numerical solutions obtained previously for the front surface of a cylinder over the ranges mass flow ratio 0–4.5×10⁻², a temperature difference between the cylinder and air 10–43 K, gas Reynolds number (7.9–23)×10³, Rosin-Rammler size parameter 105–168 μm, and dispersion parameter 3.4–3.7. Heat transfer augmentation, two-pahse to single-phase of greater than 19 was attained at the forward stagnation point. For heat transfer in the rear part of the cylinder, an empirical formula is derived by taking into account the dimensionless governing variables, that is, coolant-feed and evaporation parameters.     

Certain Aspects of an “Incompressible Fluid“ Model in Gas Dynamics

An “incompressible fluid” model in gas dynamics is developed in the linear approximation. Using the dissipative relaxation time as a characteristic scale, we arrive at another form of the dimensionless Boltzmann equation. In the limiting case of small Knudsen numbers an approximate solution is obtained in the form of a Hilbert multiple-scale asymptotic expansion. It is revealed that for slow, weakly nonisothermal processes the asymptotic expansion for the linearized Boltzmann equation leads in a first stage to equations for the velocity, pressure and temperature that do not contain the density (quasi-incompressible approximation). The density depends on the temperature and can, if necessary, be found from the equation of state. The next-approximation equations contain the Burnett effects, the velocity calculation being reduced to the general problem of finding a vector field from a given divergence and rotation. With reference to a simple case of the heating of a stationary gas in a half-space it is shown that the temperature establishment process is accompanied by gas flow from the wall.__________Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Academii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, 2005, pp. 170–178.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Chekmarev.     

Unsteady displacement of an oil deposit in a flow of stratal water

Unsteady problems concerning the displacement of gas and oil deposits in a seepage flow of stratal water are of specific interest to oil and gas hydrogeology, and in the planning and analysis of the processes of reservoir exploitation. Firstly, a change of the hydrogeological environment in a region of already formed deposits involves their displacement. Secondly, when one of two adjacent deposits is developed, a displacement of the other occurs in the artificial flow of stratal water which is produced. Papers [1–3] investigate the steady configuration of gas—water or water—oil contacts in the presence of a seepage flow of stratal water under the deposit. The unsteady problem considered below is a generalization of the problem in paper [3]. Its characteristic property is the presence of mobile boundaries separating the regions with flow of different fluids in the horizontal plane.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekh.

Contact Problem for a Rectangular Punch on the Porous Elastic Half-Space

The paper is concerned with a contact problem about rigid rectangular punch forced into a half-space made of a linear elastic isotropic material with voids. We use a Cowin–Nunziato model for the half-space, and reduce the problem to a double Fredholm integral equation of the first kind. Then we apply two different approaches, to solve this equation. The first one is based on a direct collocation numerical technique. The second method is asymptotic, and we use a small parameter that is the relative width of the punch. Finally, compliance of the punch is determined, and results of the two different methods are compared with each other, as well as with a Sivashinsky–Panek–Kalker solution.

Stability of the laminar boundary layer in an incompressible gas bearing a solid impurity

The article considers the problem of the effect of solid particles suspended in a gas on the stability of the laminar boundary layer with respect to Tollmin-Schlichting waves. An actual scheme for calculating stability is proposed, based on Lin's method. It is shown that, with small values of the concentration of the impurity, s, the critical Reynolds number depends on the parameter =s ( is the dimensionless relaxation time of a particle), increasing with an increase in this parameter. An impurity consisting of asymmetric particles leads to a smaller increase of the stability than an impurity consisting of spherical particles of the same mass.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR.

Angular vibrations of an ellipsoid of revolution in a confined viscous fluid

Vibrations of bodies in confined viscous fluids have been studied on a number of occasions, transverse vibrations of rods being the main subject of investigation [1–3]. The present authors [4] have considered the general problem of translational vibrations of an axisymmetric body in an axisymmetric region containing a low-viscosity fluid. The present paper follows the same approach and considers the problem of small angular vibrations of an ellipsoid of revolution in a circular cylinder with flat ends. In the general case, the hydrodynamic coefficients in the equation of motion of the ellipsoid are determined numerically for different values of the dimensionless geometrical parameters using Ritz's method. In the case of an unconfined fluid, analytic dependences in terms of elementary functions are obtained for the hydrodynamic coefficients. The theoretical results agree well with experimental investigations.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 2, pp. 34–39, March–April, 1984.     

Dimensionless numbers in the aerodynamics of low-density gases

Various different dimensionless numbers are used to evaluate the experimental and theoretical data on the aerodynamics and heat transfer in low-density gases. They are obtained mainly in the analysis of simplified Navier—Stokes equations. In [1], the dimensionless number obtained from the Boltzmann equation is the Reynolds number Re₀, in which the coefficient of viscosity is determined using the stagnation temperature. In the present paper, using the Boltzmann equation but different characteristic parameters from those in [1], we obtain the dimensionless number introduced for the first time by Cheng [2] in the analysis of the equations of a thin viscous shock layer. We show that for definite values of the characteristic temperature and dependences of the coefficient of viscosity on the temperature virtually all the dimensionless numbers used to evaluate the results of investigations into the aerodynamics and heat transfer in a low-density gas can be obtained.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 140–144, January–February, 1981.     

Transient boundary layer effect in underground oil and gas reservoir depletion processes

Modern methods of exploiting underground deposits of oil and gas are characterized by conditions that vary slowly with time, which makes it possible to treat them over an extended period as near-equilibrium processes and use for their analysis the effective methods of perturbation theory. At the same time, during a brief initial period these systems display essentially nonequilibrium behavior leading to a transient boundary layer effect. For closed reservoir depletion problems a measure of the degree of nonequilibrium of the reservoir system is introduced and for real deposits shown to be small, the existence of a boundary layer is established, and the exterior and interior problems are formulated, together with the matching conditions. The general form of the exterior asymptotic behavior, in which the space variables and time are separated, is established and the initial parabolic system is reduced to a linear Poisson equation. Examples of problem solving are given.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 6, pp. 72–77, November–December, 1985.     

Asymptotic form of the free surface of a uniformly rotating liquid for large bond numbers

In [1–5] boundary-layer methods were used to solve problems concerned with the equilibrium and motion of a liquid with surface tension in a strong gravitational field (for large Bond numbers Bo). In the present paper we apply these methods to problems involving the equilibrium shape of a uniformly rotating liquid, contained in a cylindrical container of arbitrary cross section or in a container which is a surface of revolution about the z axis. Both of these problems reduce to the asymptotic integration of an equation with a small parameter involving a quasilinear elliptic operator with a nonlinear boundary condition. In the second case, owing to radial symmetry, the equation for the problem goes over into an ordinary equation; however, the wetted boundary is not known beforehand. This boundary, together with the equilibrium shape, is also determined asymptotically.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 6, pp. 3–12, November–December, 1973.The authors thank L.

Homogenization of Wall-Slip Gas Flow Through Porous Media

The permeability of reservoir rocks is most commonly measured with an atmospheric gas. Permeability is greater for a gas than for a liquid. The Klinkenberg equation gives a semi-empirical relation between the liquid and gas permeabilities. In this paper, the wall-slip gas flow problem is homogenized. This problem is described by the steady state, low velocity Navier–Stokes equations for a compressible gas with a small Knudsen number. Darcy's law with a permeability tensor equal to that of liquid flow is shown to be valid to the lowest order. The lowest order wall-slip correction is a local tensorial form of the Klinkenberg equation. The Klinkenberg permeability is a positive tensor. It is in general not symmetric, but may under some conditions, which we specify, be symmetric. Our result reduces to the Klinkenberg equation for constant viscosity gas flow in isotropic media.     

Jumps in the density and temperature of one of the components of a binary gas mixture over the plane surface of a liquid

We consider a problem concerning the vaporization (or condensation) of one of the components of a binary gas mixture situated over the plane surface of a liquid. The kinetic equation in the model form of [1] is used to describe the system. As is well known, this model agrees well with experiment and is simpler than the Boltzmann equation so far as mathematical relations are concerned. This model fails to describe a number of effects because it is assumed that the collision time of the particles is independent of their velocity. This relates primarily to the phenomenon of thermal diffusion of the gases. Thus the formulas given below are applicable to gas mixtures having a small thermal-diffusion coefficient. The model equation is solved by an approximate method developed in [2]. In [3] the temperature jump of a single-component gas at a solid wall is calculated by this method, and the method is also employed in [4] in the calculation of the slipping rate of a binary gas mixture in the field of a temperature gradient. In both cases the results agree with numerical calculations by other authors within an accuracy of 1.5%.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 5, pp. 142–148, September–October, 1973.     

Flow stability of a flat plastic ring with free boundaries

The problem of two-dimensional unstable flow of an ideally plastic ring acted upon by internal pressure is formulated. The determination of the law of motion for the boundaries and of the time change of pressure is reduced to an ordinary nonlinear differential equation of the second order. For this equation a particular solution of the Cauchy problem is determined; this corresponds to a widening of the ring boundaries with a negative acceleration. For the field of initial velocities an estimate from above is available, expressed in terms of the original parameters. The very particular unstable flow obtained for an ideally plastic ring is also investigated with respect to stability to small harmonic perturbations of the velocity vector, the pressure, or the boundaries of the ring. It is shown that the fundamental flow is stable irrespective of the wave number. This result has been obtained by assuming that the inertial forces in the perturbed flow are small compared to the lasting ones.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 2, pp. 94–101, March–April, 1975.     

Strong recondensation in a one-component and a two-component rarefied gas for an arbitrary value of Knudsen number

As is known, surface phenomena such as evaporation, absorption, and reflection of molecules from the surface of a body depend strongly on its temperature [1–5]. This leads to the establishment of a flow of a substance between two surfaces maintained at different temperatures (recondensation). The phenomenon of recondensation was studied in kinetic theory comparatively long ago. However, up to the present, only the case of small mass flows in a onecomponent gas has been investigated completely [3,4]. Meanwhile it is clear that by the creation of appropriate conditions we can obtain considerable flows of the recondensing substance, so that the mass-transfer rate will be of the order of the molecular thermal velocity. Such a numerical solution of the problem with strong mass flows along the normal to the surface for small Knudsen numbers for a model Boltzmann kinetic equation was obtained in [7]. In this study we numerically solve the problem of strong recondensation between two infinite parallel plates over a wide range of Knudsen numbers for a one-component and a two-component gas, on the basis of the model Boltzmann kinetic equation [6] for a one-component gas and the model Boltzmann kinetic equation for a binary mixture in the form assumed by Hamel [8], for a ratio of the plate temperatures equal to ten. We also investigate the effect of the relative plate motion on the recondensation flow.Moscow.

Gas-kinetic theory of lubrication

An equation of the gas-kinetic theory of lubrication is obtained under the assumption of incompressibility of the gas on the basis of solution of the Boltzmann equation by the moment method with a special approximating function. In the limit of a small Knudsen number calculated using the minimal gap, the equation goes over into Reynolds's wellknown equation. Reynolds's problem of a lubricating layer of gas between two closely spaced planes is considered. In the limit of a small Knudsen number, agreement with the well-known solution of the hydrodynamic theory is obtained. A comparison is made with the solution obtained by the hydrodynamic method with slip boundary conditions under neglect of the compressibility of the gas.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 161–166, January–February, 1984.I thank L.

Effect of viscoelastic properties of a liquid on the dynamics of small oscillations of a gas bubble

A series of papers has been devoted to questions of gas bubble dynamics in viscoeiastic liquids. Of these papers we mention [1–4]. The radial oscillations of a gas bubble in an incompressible viscoeiastic liquid have been studied numerically in [1, 2] using Oldroyd's model [5]. Anexact solution was found in [3], and independently in [4], for the equation of small density oscillations of a cavity in an Oldroyd medium when there is a periodic pressure change at infinity. The analysis of bubble oscillations in a viscoeiastic liquid is complicated by properties of limiting transitions in the rheological equation of the medium. These properties are of particular interest for the problem under investigation. These properties are discussed below, and characteristics of the small oscillations of a bubble in an Oldroyd medium are investigated on the basis of a numerical analysis of the exact solution obtained in [3].Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 3, pp. 82–87, May–June, 1976.The authors are grateful to V.
