Numerical simulation of blast flow fields induced by a high-speed projectile

Numerical investigations on the launch process of a projectile in a nearly realistic situation have been performed in this article. The Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) of Euler equations is solved by the AUSMDV scheme and the dynamic chimera grid technique are used for describing the moving of the projectile. Based on our numerical results, the muzzle blast flow field of the transient launch process of a projectile at a relative high Mach number of 3.0 has been visualized numerically, and the prominent characteristics including the propagation of first and second blast waves, the generation of bow shock wave and moving of the projectile, etc. have been discussed in detail.      

Comparisons of TVD schemes for turbulent transonic projectile aerodynamics computations with a two-equation model of turbulence

The development of a computer program to solve the axisymmetric full Navier--Stokes equations with k-ε two-equation model of turbulence using various total variation diminishing (TVD) schemes is the primary interest of this study. The computations are performed for the turbulent, transonic, viscous flow over a projectile with/without supporting sting at zero angle of attack. The predicted results, as well as the convergence characteristics, by various TVD schemes are compared with each other. The results show that the TVD schemes of higher-order accuracy do have influence on the regions of high gradients such as shock, base corner and base flow. However, the schemes of third-order accuracy do not necessarily improve the agreement with measured data (which is not available on the base) than that of second-order accuracy, but surely generate apparent different result of base flow. The supporting sting on the projectile base will complicate the base flow and the existence of the sting will slightly shift the shock location and slightly change the flow field after the shock. More iteration steps are needed to get the converged results in the computation for the projectile with sting.     

On the vertical ascent of a spherical body of increasing mass

We show that if the dependence of the drag force on the velocity is quadratic and the time dependence of the radius of a spherical body is linear, then the first integral of the equation of motion can be written out in closed form in terms of Bessel functions. To calculate the second integral, we propose concise approximate formulas. Their accuracy is verified by comparing the results obtained by analytic and numerical solution of the Cauchy problem.

Deformation due to time harmonic sources in micropolar thermoelastic medium possessing cubic symmetry with two relaxation times

The response of a micropolar thermoelastic medium possessing cubic symmetry with two relaxation times due to time harmonic sources is investigated. Fourier transform is employed and the transform is inverted by using a numerical inversion technique. The components of displacement, stress, microrotation and temperature distribution in the physical domain are obtained numerically. The results of normal displacement, normal force stress, tangential couple stress and temperature distribution are compared for micropolar cubic crystal and micropolar isotropic solid. The numerical results are illustrated graphically for a particular material. Some special cases are also deduced.     

Projectile motion in a resistant medium Part II: approximate solution and estimates

The motion of a particle which is projected into a resistant medium and subjected to a uniform gravitational field is considered. The drag force that acts upon the particle within the medium is proportional to the particle speed squared. The problem is formulated in terms of particle-speed and local-path-angle variables, and the equations of motion that result are non-linear and coupled. An exact solution to these equations can be obtained but involves quadratures which cannot be analytically evaluated in terms of standard functions. An approximate solution that is remarkably accurate is presented. This solution is based upon the so-called cubic law, which is motivated by certain properties of the exact solution. This solution is also utilized to obtain estimates for the maximum projectile range, optimal projection angle, and other quantities of interest related to the particle motion.     

On the regimes of auto-ignition in a turbulent medium

The process of auto-ignition in a non-premixed, homogeneous and isotropic turbulent medium is considered. The governing pdf transport equation is simulated via a Monte Carlo method. It is found that the pdf evolution depends on the relative magnitudes of two time scales, namely, that of turbulent mixing and of chemical reaction. Calculations made for a wide range of these time scales show that at least four different regimes of auto-ignition may be identified. These are classified into premixed and non-premixed type, and are located on a Damköhler number diagram.

On relaxation times in the Navier-Stokes-Voigt model

We study analytically and numerically the relaxation time of flow evolution governed by the Navier-Stokes-Voigt (NSV) model. We first show that for the Taylor–Green vortex decay problem, NSV admits an exact solution which evolves slower than true fluid flow. Secondly, we show numerically for a channel flow test problem using standard discretisation methods that although NSV provides more regular solutions compared to usual Navier-Stokes solutions, NSV approximations take significantly longer to reach the steady state.     

On the theory of elssticity of a nonhomogeneous medium

In this paper the equation of equilibrium for a nonhomogeneous isotropic elastic solid under shear has been solved in rectangular Cartesian coordinates as well as in cylindrical polar coordinates. The modulus of rigidity of the material is assumed to vary in lateral as well as vertical directions. As an example, the above solution has been used to solve the problem of a Griffith crack in an infinite solid under shear.This work was supported by National Research Council of Canada through NRC-Grant No. A4177.     

On the propagation of elastic waves in a multiperiodically reinforced medium

By a multiperiodically reinforced medium (multiperiodic composite) we mean a composite in which the matrix material is reinforced by two or more families of periodically spaced fibres. Moreover, at least along one direction the periods corresponding to different families are different. An example of this composite is shown in Fig. 1, where along the x ¹-axis we deal with two different periods . The aim of the contribution is twofold. First, we propose a macroscopic (averaged) model of a multiperiodic composite, describing the effect of period lengths on the overall dynamic behaviour of the medium, in contrast to the known homogenized models. Second, we apply this model to the analysis of elastic waves propagating across a composite reinforced by two pairs of families of parallel periodically spaced fibres with different periods along certain direction.     

On the non-local aspects of stress in a viscoelastic medium*

After adopting the constitutive equations of the viscoelastic non-local media in the form of Kroener-Eringen-Ahmadi, and making use of the Fourier exponential transformation, fundamental equations for the propagation of plane longitudinal harmonic waves in the Voigt-Kelvin and the Maxwell media are established. In each case the wave dispersion is examined, and the associated equation found to be non-linear. A more detailed analysis of the results obtained is given, and two simple numerical examples are solved, and illustrated by a graph.     

On the theory of transient wave propagation in a dispersive medium

Summary Choosing a simple parallel-plate waveguide, an exact expression is obtained for the transient response when a step-modulated carrier signal is applied. The analysis constitutes a modest extension of the early work of Sommerfeld and the more recent investigations of Rubinowicz and Knop. Numerical calculations are presented for a range of the parameters which have some relevance to propagation in the earth-ionosphere waveguide. The exact form of the transient envelope function is compared with an approximate version which is in the form of a Fresnel integral. It is shown that the approximate method gives a good qualitative estimate for the transient response characteristics. Thus, confidence is gained in applying it to other situations where an exact solution is not available.The research reported here was supported by the Advanced Research Projects Agency, Washington, D.C., under ARPA Order No. 183-62.Formerly the Central Radio Propagation Laboratory of the National Bureau of Standards.     

On a modification of the wave equation for a layered medium

A new form of the wave equation in inhomogeneous media is presented which does not contain derivatives of the medium parameters in its coefficients. Hence this equation can be used not only for the case of smooth but also for the case of abrupt changes of the parameters with the coordinates. The equation can be used for waves of different nature.

To illustrate the advantages of the new form of the wave equation four problems have been solved. They are: scattering of a plane sound wave by weak inhomogeneities; excitation of a lateral wave; the symmetry of the plane-wave transmission coefficient with respect to inversion of the path of the wave; and plane were reflection from a thin inhomogeneous layer.     

On the cavitation problem and the influence of the surface energy in a viscoplastic medium

In this Note, the solution for spherically symmetric cavitation in a viscoplastic material is analysed. To ensure of the reality of the physical behaviour of the material, the problem is studied by considering a hollow sphere whose matrix obeys to a modified Bodner and Partom model. This local phenomenon is understood in the sense of the rapid growth of a pre-existing void and a particular attention is made to understand the influence of the surface energy on the critical dilative stress.
