Hamiltonian Formulation for Wave-Current Interactions in Stratified Rotational Flows

We show that the Hamiltonian framework permits an elegant formulation of the nonlinear governing equations for the coupling between internal and surface waves in stratified water flows with piecewise constant vorticity.     

Nonlinear Viscous Flows with a Free Surface

An asymptotic solution of the problem of time evolution of a periodic wave on the surface of a viscous, infinitely deep fluid in the approximation quadratic in the wave amplitude is proposed.     

Global Solvability of a Free Boundary Three-Dimensional Incompressible Viscoelastic Fluid System with Surface Tension

Motivated by Beale (Commun Pure Appl Math 34:359–392, 1981; Arch Ration Mech Anal 84:307–352, 1983/1984), we investigate the global well-posedness of a free boundary problem of a three-dimensional incompressible viscoelastic fluid system in an infinite strip and with surface tension on the upper free boundary, provided that the initial data is sufficiently close to the equilibrium state.     

Characteristics ALE Method for the Unsteady 3D Navier-Stokes Equations with a Free Surface

Because of its great adaptability, the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) method is often used to solve the Navier-Stokes equations with a free surface. The kinematic condition relating the normal velocity to the mesh velocity suggests a simple way to move the domain, but it leads to unstable schemes in many cases. A method to take into account the non-linearity of the free surface is presented in this paper and integrated into a Finite Method with Galerkin characteristics. A variational form of the surface tension is used to overcome the difficulty of estimating the main curvature of the surface grid. A stability estimate is then established on the global scheme, under regularity conditions on the grid.     

Hydrodynamic Limit for a Hamiltonian System with Boundary Conditions and Conservative Noise

We study the hyperbolic scaling limit for a chain of N coupled anharmonic oscillators. The chain is attached to a point on the left and there is a force (tension) τ acting on the right. In order to provide good ergodic properties to the system, we perturb the Hamiltonian dynamics with random local exchanges of velocities between the particles, so that momentum and energy are locally conserved. We prove that in the macroscopic limit the distributions of the elongation, momentum and energy converge to the solution of the Euler system of equations in the smooth regime.     

On the Stability of Inviscid Parallel Shear Flows with a Free Surface

We consider the linear stability of inviscid parallel shear flow with a free surface. Gravity is included in the analysis, but surface tension is not. We focus on several specific profiles including Poiseuille flow and various profiles with inflection points. Instabilities are found in all the profiles we studied. At neutral limiting modes, the wave speed of the disturbance is equal to one of three choices: the fluid speed at the bottom, an extremum of the fluid speed, or an inflectional value. The results help to clarify conflicting claims in prior literature.     

DIC-Based Surface Motion Correction for ESPI Measurements

Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry (ESPI) provides a sensitive technique for measuring surface deformations. The technique involves comparison of the speckle phase angles within surface images measured before and after material deformation. This phase angle comparison requires that the speckle positions be consistent in all images. A lateral shift between image sets of just one pixel substantially degrades ESPI measurements, while a shift of two or more pixels typically causes complete decorrelation and compromises the measurement entirely. To prevent such rigid body motions, the specimen and the optical system must be rigidly fixed. This requirement typically impedes use of the ESPI method in applications outside laboratories or where it is necessary to remove the specimen from the optical setup between ESPI measurements. Here, Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is used to track speckle motion caused by specimen displacement between ESPI phase stepped image sets. The measured image set can then be mathematically shifted to restore the original speckle locations, thereby recorrelating the ESPI measurement. Examples are presented where ESPI measurements are successfully made with specimen shifts over 60 pixels.     

Free Surface of a High Speed Capillary Jet

A free surface shape of a viscous liquid jet is investigated at large Reynolds and Weber numbers. The jet is ejected into a vacuum from a cylindrical nozzle with a flat exterior surface. The liquid is completely wetting the nozzle material (zero contact angle). Free jet surface is non-cylindrical near the nozzle. There is a smooth connection between the flat external surface of the nozzle and the cylindrical surface of the jet away from the nozzle. The size of the connection region is estimated by means of the boundary layer technique.     

Strain Relaxation in an Alloy Film with a Rough Free Surface

We study strain relief by surface roughness and composition variation in a stressed alloy film. Instead of using common perturbation techniques, we derive a rigorous relaxation formula based on the energy approach in the case of slightly undulating surface and fluctuating composition. We do not require any a priori assumption of elastic isotropy or identical material properties between film and substrate in deriving our result. We show that the change of elastic energy is negative, giving rise to energy relief due to the presence of free surface. We apply our result to the study of compositional and morphological instabilities of a stressed thin layer with a free surface. The critical wave number of instability is determined by the competition between the destabilizing influence of elastic strain energy and the stabilizing influence of chemical and surface energies.     

Study of Convection in a Liquid with a Free Surface Using Exponential Fitting Discretization

The two-dimensional flow of viscous incompressible liquid in a square cavity with a Tree boundary and differentially heated vertical sides is considered in the present work. The influence of gravitational and thermocapillary convection on temperature and velocity fields is studied in a large range of dimensionless parameters and similarity criteria using method of exponential fitting discretization. Limiting cases of dimensionless parameters are analyzed numerically.     

Propagation of Waves on the Free Surface of a Two-Phase Mixture

The problem of the propagation of waves on the free surface of layer of a two-phase mixture is considered. An analytic solution in the form of damped steady waves is found in the linear approximation. The dispersion relation, an expression for the decay rate, and the shape of the free surface are determined. The effect of the dispersed phase on the wave velocity is found.

A Normal Force on the Free Surface of a Coated Material

The three-dimensional theoretical solution of a concentrated normal force acting on the free surface of a coated material has been deduced by applying the reflection method. It is found that all stress functions defined in the local coordinate systems with their origins placed at each mirror point can be deduced from the fundamental solution of a concentrated normal force acting on the free surface of a semi-infinite homogeneous medium. The structure of the elastic solution has been illustrated by numerical analysis. It is found that only the stress functions corresponding to the first few mirror points are influential. It is also found that the effect of material combination on the stress field shall be described by three parameters, the two Dundurs' parameters and one additional parameter.     

Transient Waves on the Free Surface of a Viscoelastic Anisotropic Half-Space

The Stroh formalism is employed to discuss the existence of transient surface waves on a viscoelastic anisotropic hall-space. The compatibility conditions, obtained using the integral formulation of Lothe and Barnett [13, 14], are examined on the basis of an asymptotic expansion of the viscoelastic kernel and a separation of space variables. Some previous results on elastic media are extended to viscoelasticity, exploiting the consequences of the second law of thermodynamics. It is found that all the allowed transient surface modes take the form of inhomogeneous plane waves whose amplitude exponentially decays along the propagation direction on the surface. Special solutions are derived explicitly for one-component surface waves where transient modes are admitted also in those cases in which stationary waves cannot occur.
