Features of Movement of a Rotational Body

Vertical motion of a rotational body in an air environment as a mechanical model of a rotochute is considered. It is assumed that, in the process of motion, the symmetry axis of the rotational body remains vertical and the rotational body itself rotates relative to this axis. The aerodynamic impact model is based on a quasistatic approach. Steady regimes of motion are identified, their stability is analyzed, and certain features of transition regimes are explored, including those related to the exchange between the energy of rotational motion and the energy of translational motion.     

Numerical simulation of the sedimentation of an elliptic body in an incompressible viscous fluid

In this note we discuss the application of a methodology combining distributed Lagrange multiplier based fictitious domain techniques, finite element approximations and operator splitting, to the numerical simulation of the motion of an elliptic body falling in a Newtonian incompressible viscous fluid. The motion of the body is driven by the hydrodynamical forces and gravity. As qualitatively expected, the elliptic body rotates so that its broad side tends to be perpendicular to the flow direction.     

Hydrodynamics of contact of a falling drop with a liquid free surface

A fine structure of the flows developing during primary contact of freely falling drops with a deep quiescent fluid is studied using the macrophotography and high-speed video filming methods. Water drops falling in water, alcohol, and oil, as well as drops of oil, petroleum, and aqueous solutions of salt or alcohol falling in water are investigated. The work is focused on the visualization of the finespray scattering from the primary contact area. The collisions of small droplets with the surface of the submerging drop are first recorded. The direction of the spray and streamer scattering is determined by the surface tension coefficients of the coalescing liquids. The conditions under which the spray droplets collide with the drop surface are determined.

A peculiar feature in the vertical motion of a particle with variable mass in upward flow

The reversal of the vertical motion of a spherical particle with variable mass and radius in air flow is described using the analytical solutions of the Cauchy problem. It is shown that a particle with decreasing mass falling against an upward flow slows down to a stop and moves upward. If its mass is increasing, the particle moving with upward flow slows down to a stop and then moves downward     

Motion of a slender body made of magnetizable composite in a traveling magnetic field

The motion of a slender body made of magnetizable composite in a channel, along which coils producing a heterogeneous “traveling” magnetic field are mounted, is investigated. The coil axes are vertical and lie in the same plane. A mathematical model of a slender body made of viscoelastic magnetizable material is proposed. The magnetic force is calculated from a formula used in ferrohydrodynamics of magnetic fluids with equilibrium magnetization. The problem of the motion of this body in a channel in a vertical plane under the action of the magnetic field produced in an experimental setup is numerically solved. The dependence of the body velocity on the coil switching frequency is calculated and the effect of different problem parameters on the form of this dependence is studied. The theoretical results are compared with the experimental data.     

Motion of a slender body in a fluid under a floating plate

This paper studies the three-dimensional unsteady problem of the hydroelastic behavior of a floating infinite plate under the impact of waves generated by horizontal rectilinear motion of a slender solid in a fluid of infinite depth. An analytic solution of the problem is found based on the known solutions for the unsteady motion of a point source of mass in a fluid of infinite depth under a floating plate. Asymptotic formulas are obtained which model the motion of a solid slender body in a fluid by replacing the body with a source-sink system. These formulas are used to numerically analyze the effect of plate thickness, depth of the body, its dimensions and the velocity of rectilinear motion on the amplitude of deflection of the floating plate. The motion of a submarine under a nonbreakable plate was modeled experimentally. Theoretical and experimental data are in good agreement.     

A model of elastic deformation for the description of withdrawal of polymer solutions

Based on the hypothesis of fluidity loss, which arises as a result of deformative orientation developing in polymer liquids at large elastic strains, the problem of the withdrawal of polymer solutions from a reservoir with a free liquid surface as well as the open-channel siphon problem have been treated theoretically. The assumption is made that after fluidity loss occurs the polymer solution deforms like a highly elastic cross-linked rubber. A quantitative comparison between the theoretical results and some experiments is also given.     

A study of particle motion induced by two-dimensional liquid oscillations

The motion of single particles in liquids undergoing two-dimensional oscillations has been studied both experimentally and theoretically. By imposing combined vertical and horizontal oscillations on a liquid, particle mean motion can be controlled so that individual particles either rise against gravity or fall. The one dimensional equation of particle motion was modified to suit this situation and numerical solutions were used to predict the occurrence of the rising motion although agreement with experiment was only qualitative. A dimensional analysis approach combined with experiments allowed prediction of particle behaviour within the range of variables of this study. Extension of the single particle studies to mixtures of quartz and galena in various flowing liquids allowed prediction of the conditions under which separation and upgrading of minerals could occur and this was verified experimentally.     

Research on the motion of particles in the turbulent pipe flow of fiber suspensions

The motion of fibers in turbulent pipe flow was simulated by 3-D integral method based on the slender body theory and simplified model of turbulence. The orientation distribution of fibers in the computational area for different Re numbers was computed. The results which were consistent with the experimental ones show that the fluctuation velocity of turbulence cause fibers to orient randomly. The orientation distributions become broader as the Re number increases. Then the fluctuation velocity and angular velocity of fibers were obtained. Both are affected by the fluctuation velocity of turbulence. The fluctuation velocity intensity of fiber is stronger at longitudinal than at lateral, while it was opposite for the fluctuation angular velocity intensity of fibers. Finally, the spatial distribution of fiber was given. It is obvious that the fiber dispersion is strenghened with the increase of Re numbers.     

Sedimentation of an elliptical object in a two-dimensional foam

The sedimentation of an elliptical object in a dry two-dimensional, monodisperse foam is simulated. The calculations are quasi-static, allowing the identification and separation of the elastic, plastic and viscous response of the foam to the motion. In addition to its weight, the forces on the ellipse are due to the network of soap films and the pressures in the bubbles. These give rise to non-zero torque, lift and drag forces, causing the motion of the ellipse to deviate from a vertical path. Highly stretched films are formed in the wake of the ellipse and asymmetry in the flow field, with bubbles moving from the front to the back of the ellipse along only one side, causes it to rotate from a metastable state with its major axis perpendicular to gravity into a stable orientation with its major axis parallel to the direction of gravity. When the orientation is intermediate between these two limits, there is a significant lift force which causes the ellipse to move laterally. A larger, more eccentric, ellipse rotates more quickly.

An estimate for the number of relative equilibria in the motion of a plane rigid body and a material point under mutual attraction

The plane motion of a rigid body with a discrete mass distribution and a material point under mutual attraction is considered. The stationary configurations of this mechanical system are studied in the case when the mass of the material point can be ignored and the body rotates about its mass center at a nonzero angular velocity and in the general case of mutual interaction between the body and the material point. It is shown that in this mechanical system there always exist at least two different positions of relative equilibrium.     

On the evolution of rotation of a solid under inelastic collisions with a plane

The motion of a solid in a homogeneous gravity field under inelastic collisions with an immovable absolutely smooth horizontal plane is considered. The body is a homogeneous ellipsoid of revolution. There exists a motion in which the ellipsoid symmetry axis is directed along a fixed vertical, the ellipsoid itself rotates about this axis at a constant angular velocity, and the ellipsoid bounce height over the plane decreases from impact to impact because of the collisions. We study the motion of the ellipsoid in a small neighborhood of the motion corresponding to this infinite-impact process. The main goal is to compute the angle between the ellipsoid symmetry axis and the vertical at the discrete time instants corresponding to the collisions. The problem is solved in the first (linear) approximation. The analysis is based on the canonical transformation method used earlier in [1] to solve problems with absolutely elastic collisions. There are quite a few studies dealing with infinite-impact processes (e.g., see the monographs [2, 3]). A method for continuous representation of systems with inelastic collisions was proposed in [4] and efficiently used in [3–5] when analyzing specific mechanical systems.     

Whirling of a forced cantilevered beam with static deflection. I: Primary resonance

The response of a slender, clastic, cantilevered beam to a transverse, vertical, harmonic excitation is investigated. The effects of nonlinear curvature, nonlinear inertia, viscous damping and static load are included. Previous work often has neglected the static deflection caused by the weight of the beam, which adds quadratic terms in the governing equations of motion. Galerkin's method is used with three modes and approximate solutions of the temporal equations are obtained by the method of multiple scales. Primary resonance is treated here, and out-of-plane motion is possible in the first and second modes when the principal moments of inertia of the beam cross-section are approximately equal. In Parts II and III, secondary resonances and nonstationary passages through various resonances are considered.     

Flow of a liquid with an anisotropic viscosity tensor: some axisymmetric flows

Of a class of idealized anisotropic liquids presented earlier [1,2], two particular cases, referred to as liquids D and F, are now analysed in some axially symmetric flows generated by relative motion of the boundaries. The liquids are locally transversely isotropic at each point at some initial instant, and the different responses associated with some different initial directions of orientation are considered, in torsional flow, in Couette flow, and in longitudinal flow between concentric circular cylinders.As in [1,2], it is found that only in special circumstances can the liquids behave in a Newtonian fashion, without change of orientation pattern. In general, even when the motion of boundaries is steady, the flow is unsteady, stresses are time-dependent, and initial transverse isotropy does not persist.     

内孤立波作用下潜深对潜体运动响应和载荷特性的影响研究

内孤立波常发生于海洋密度跃层, 因其峰高谷深、携带能量巨大, 在传播过程中会导致跃层上下的海水流动呈现剪切状态, 并引起突发性的强流. 潜体在水下悬停时极有可能会遭遇内孤立波, 由于内孤立波的流场特性, 置于跃层上下的悬浮潜体所产生运动响应和水动力载荷变化不尽相同, 甚者会出现掉深现象. 为探究潜深对波体耦合作用的影响, 基于不可压缩N-S方程和mKdV理论, 采用速度入口造波, 结合重叠网格技术和流固耦合方法, 建立了分层流中内孤立波耦合水下潜体多自由度运动的数值模型, 通过该模型分析了不同潜深下悬浮潜体的运动响应和载荷特性. 结果表明: 在内孤立波作用下, 位于密度跃层上方和跃层中的潜体顺着波的前进方向运动, 先下沉后抬升, 位于跃层下方的潜体则会逆流持续下沉; 潜体与波面的垂向距离越小, 对其纵荡、垂荡和速度的影响越显著, 而位于密度跃层中的潜体在分界面处沿着波形运动, 其运动响应和载荷变化受影响较小; 潜体在跃层上、下流体中所受水平力的方向相反, 水平力峰值小于垂向力峰值, 且位于跃层下方的潜体一直受到低头力矩, 最终导致掉深.
