COMPARISON OF STABILITY BETWEEN NAVIER-STOKES AND EULER EQUATIONS

The stability about Navier-Stokes equation and Euler equation was brought into comparison. And by taking their typical initial value problem for example, the reason of leading to the difference in stability between Navier-Stokes equation and Euler equation was also analyzed.     

DAMPING OF VERTICALLY EXCITED SURFACE WAVE IN WEAKLY VISCOUS FLUID

In a vertically oscillating circular cylindrical container, singular perturbation theory of two-time scale expansions is developed in weakly viscous fluids to investigate the motion of single free surface standing wave by linearizing the Navier-Stokes equation. The fluid field is divided into an outer potential flow region and an inner boundary layer region. The solutions of both two regions are obtained and a linear amplitude equation incorporating damping term and external excitation is derived. The condition to appear stable surface wave is obtained and the critical curve is determined. In addition, an analytical expression of damping coefficient is determined. Finally, the dispersion relation, which has been derived from the inviscid fluid approximation, is modified by adding linear damping. It is found that the modified results are reasonably closer to experimental results than former theory. Result shows that when forcing frequency is low, the viscosity of the fluid is prominent for the mode selection. However, when forcing frequency is high, the surface tension of the fluid is prominent.     

A PREDICT-CORRECT NUMERICAL INTEGRATION SCHEME FOR SOLVING NONLINEAR DYNAMIC EQUATIONS

A new numerical integration scheme incorporating a predict-correct algorithm forsolving the nonlinear dynamic systems was proposed in this paper. A nonlinear dynamic systemgoverned by the equation v=F(v,t) was transformed into the form as v=Hv f(v,t). Thenonlinear part f(v,t) was then expanded by Taylor series and only the first-order term retained inthe polynomial. Utilizing the theory of linear differential equation and the precise time-integrationmethod, an exact solution for linearizing equation was obtained. In order to find the solution of theoriginal system, a third-order interpolation polynomial of v was used and an equivalent nonlinearordinary differential equation was regenerated. With a predicted solution as an initial value andan iteration scheme, a corrected result was achieved. Since the error caused by linearization couldbe eliminated in the correction process, the accuracy of calculation was improved greatly. Threeengineering scenarios were used to assess the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method andthe results were satisfactory.     

Flow behavior in microchannel made of different materials with wall slip velocity and electro-viscous effects

In a microfluidic system, flow slip velocity on a solid wall can be the same order of magnitude as the average velocity in a microchannel. The flow-electricity interaction in a complex microfluidic system subjected to joint action of wall slip and electro-viscous effect is an important topic. This paper presents an analytic solution of pressuredriven liquid flow velocity and flow-induced electric field in a two-dimensional microchannel made of different materials with wall slip and electro-viscous effects. The Poisson- Boltzmann equation and the Navier-Stokes equation are solved for the analytic solutions. The analytic solutions agree well with the numerical solutions. It was found that the wall slip amplifies the fow-induced electric field and enhances the electro-viscous effect on flow. Thus the electro-viscous effect can be significant in a relatively wide microchannel with relatively large kh, the ratio of channel width to thickness of electric double layer, in comparison with the channel without wall slip.     

RESISTANCE EFFECT OF ELECTRIC DOUBLE LAYER ON LIQUID FLOW IN MICROCHANNEL

Poisson-Boltzrnann equation for EDL (electric double layer) and Navier-Stokes equation for liquid flows were numerically solved to investigate resistance effect of electric double layer on liquid flow in microchannel. The dimension analysis indicates that the resistance effect of electric double layer can be estimated by an electric resistance number, which is proportional to the square of the liquid dielectric constant and the solid surface zeta potential, and inverse-proportional to the liquid dynamic viscosity, electric conductivity and the square of the channel width. An "electric current density balancing" (ECDB) condition was proposed to evaluate the flow-induced streaming potential, instead of conventional "electric current balancing" (ECB) condition which may induce spurious local backflow in neighborhood of the solid wall of the microchannel. The numerical results of the flow rate loss ratio and velocity profile are also given to demonstrate the resistance effect of electric double layer in microchannel.     

Boundary element analysis of interaction between an elastic rectangular inclusion and a crack

The interaction between an elastic rectangular inclusion and a kinked crack inan infinite elastic body was considered by using boundary element method. The new complexboundary integral equations were derived. By introducing a complex unknown function H(t)related to the interface displacement density and traction and applying integration by parts,the traction continuous condition was satisfied automatically. Only one complex boundaryintegral equation was obtained on interface and involves only singularity of order l/ r. Toverify the validity and effectiveness of the present boundary element method, some typicalexamples were calculated. The obtained results show that the crack stress intensity factorsdecrease as the shear modulus of inclusion increases. Thus, the crack propagation is easiernear a softer inclusion and the harder inclusion is helpful for crack arrest.     

A CORRELATION EQUATION FOR CALCULATING INCLINED JET PENETRATION LENGTH IN A GAS-SOLID FLUIDIZED BED

Numerical simulation of gas-solid flow in a two-dimensional fluidized bed with an inclined jet was performed. The numerical model is based on the two-fluid model of gas and solids phase in which the solids constitutive equations are based on the kinetic theory of granular flow. The improved ICE algorithm, which can be used for both low and high-velocity fluid flow, were used to solve the model equations. The mechanism of jet formation was analyzed using both numerical simulations and experiments. The emergence and movement of gas bubbles were captured numerically and experimentally. The influences of jet velocity, nozzle diameter, nozzle inclination and jet position on jet penetration length were obtained. A semi-empirical expression was derived and the parameters were correlated from experimental data. The correlation equation, which can be easily used to obtain the inclined jet penetration length, was compared with our experimental data and published correlation equations.     

Transformation method and wave control

Transformation method provides an efficient way to control wave propagation by materials.The transformed relations for field and material during a transformation are essential to fulfill this method.We propose a systematic method to derive the transformed relations for a general physic process,the constraint conditions are obtained by considering geometrical and physical constraint during a mapping. The proposed method is applied to Navier＇s equation for elastodynamics,Helmholtz＇s equation for acoustic wave and Maxwell＇s equation for electromagnetic wave,the corresponding transformed relations are derived,which can be used in the framework of transformation method for wave control.We show that contrary to electromagnetic wave,the transformed relations are not uniquely determined for elastic wave and acoustic wave,so we have a freedom to choose them differently.Using the obtained transformed relations,we also provide some examples for device design,a concentrator for elastic wave,devices for illusion acoustic and illusion optics are conceived and validated by numerical simulations.

Based on Hamilton principle, the governing equation was obtained and solved using Runge-Kuta method. Finally, some important theoretical predictions were given to describe the perforation mechanism of the shell. The results will play an important role in understanding the perforation mechanism of spherical shells impacted by a projectile.

Some conclusions about the smooth function classes stability for the basic system of equations of atmospheric motion and instability for Navier-Stokes equation are summarized. On the basis of this, by taking the basic system of equations of atmospheric motion via Boussinesq approximation as example to explain in detail that the instability about some simplified models of the basic system of equations for atmospheric motion is caused by the instability of Navier-Stokes equation, thereby, a principle to guarantee the stability of simplified equation is drawn in simplifying the basic system of equations.

Random attractors

In this paper, we generalize the notion of an attractor for the stochastic dynamical system introduced in [7]. We prove that the stochastic attractor satisfies most of the properties satisfied by the usual attractor in the theory of deterministic dynamical systems. We also show that our results apply to the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation, the white noise-driven Burgers equation, and a nonlinear stochastic wave equation.
