The theory of a vibrating-rod densimeter

The paper presents a theory of a device for the accurate determination of the density of fluids over a wide range of thermodynamic states. The instrument is based upon the measurement of the characteristics of the resonance of a circular section tube, or rod, performing steady, transverse oscillations in the fluid. The theory developed accounts for the fluid motion external to the rod as well as the mechanical motion of the rod and is valid over a defined range of conditions. A complete set of working equations and corrections is obtained for the instrument which, together with the limits of the validity of the theory, prescribe the parameters of a practical design capable of high accuracy.Nomenclature A, B, C, D constants in equation (60) - A _j , B _j constants in equation (18) - a _j ⁺ , a _j ^– wavenumbers given by equation (19) - C _f drag coefficient defined in equation (64) - C _f ^/0 , C _f ^/1 components of C _f in series expansion in powers of - c speed of sound - D _b drag force of fluid b - D ₀ coefficient of internal damping - E extensional modulus - force per unit length - F _j ⁺ , F _j ^– constants in equation (24) - f, g functions of defined in equations (56) - G modulus of rigidity - I second moment of area - K constant in equation (90) - k, k constants defined in equations (9) - L half-length of oscillator - Ma Mach number - m _a mass per unit length of fluid a - m _b added mass per unit length of fluid b - m _s mass per unit length of solid - n _j eigenvalue defined in equation (17) - P power (energy per cycle) - P _a , P _b power in fluids a and b - p pressure - R radius of rod or outer radius of tube - R _c radius of container - R _i inner radius of tube - r radial coordinate - T tension - T _visc temperature rise due to heat generation by viscous dissipation - t time - v _r , v radial and angular velocity components - y lateral displacement - z axial coordinate - dimensionless tension - _a dimensionless mass of fluid a - _b dimensionless added mass of fluid b - _b dimensionless drag of fluid b - dimensionless parameter associated with - ₀ dimensionless coefficient of internal damping - dimensionless half-width of resonance curve - dimensionless frequency difference defined in equation (87) - spatial resolution of amplitude - R, , , _s , increments in R, , , _s , - dimensionless amplitude of oscillation - dimensionless axial coordinate - ratio of to - _a , _b ratios of to for fluids a and b - angular coordinate - parameter arising from distortion of initially plane cross-sections - _f thermal conductivity of fluid - dimensionless parameter associated with - viscosity of fluid - _a , _b viscosity of fluids a and b - dimensionless displacement - _j jth component of - density of fluid - _a , _b density of fluids a and b - _s density of tube or rod material - density of fluid calculated on assumption that * - dimensionless radial coordinate - * dimensionless radius of container - dimensionless times - _{rr rr}, _r radial normal and shear stress components - spatial component of defined in equation (13) - _j jth component of - dimensionless streamfunction - ⁰, ¹ components of in series expansion in powers of - phase angle - _r phase difference - _ra , _rb phase difference for fluids a and b - streamfunction - _j jth component defined in equation (22) - dimensionless frequency (based on ) - _a , _b dimensionless frequency in fluids a and b - _s dimensionless frequency (based on _s ) - angular frequency - ₀ resonant frequency in absence of fluid and internal damping - _r resonant frequency in absence of internal fluid - _ra , _rb resonant frequencies in fluids a and b - dimensionless frequency - dimensionless frequency when _a vanishes - dimensionless frequencies when _a vanishes in fluids a and b - dimensionless resonant frequency when _a , _b, _b and ₀ vanish - dimensionless resonant frequency when _a , _b and _b vanish - dimensionless resonant frequency when _b and _b vanish - dimensionless frequencies at which amplitude is half that at resonance

Hydrodynamic instability of the contact zone between accelerated gases

An experimental apparatus for investigating Rayleigh-Taylor instability in the transition layer between two gases at accelerations g 10⁵g₀ (g₀ is the acceleration of gravity) is described. The constantly acting acceleration is communicated to the contact zone by the compression wave formed ahead of a flame front. The linear stage of development is investigated together with the effect of the thickness of the contact zone. It is shown that on the interval 0.3 < <- ( is the wavelength of the disturbance at the edge of the contact zone) the rate of growth of the perturbation amplitude 0.5₀, where ₀ is the amplitude growth rate for media separated by an interface with a discontinuous change of density.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 6, pp. 15–21, November–December, 1991.     

Reservoir transport equations by compositional approach

The objective of this paper is to present an overview of the fundamental equations governing transport phenomena in compressible reservoirs. A general mathematical model is presented for important thermo-mechanical processes operative in a reservoir. Such a formulation includes equations governing multiphase fluid (gas-water-hydrocarbon) flow, energy transport, and reservoir skeleton deformation. The model allows phase changes due to gas solubility. Furthermore, Terzaghi's concept of effective stress and stress-strain relations are incorporated into the general model. The functional relations among various model parameters which cause the nonlinearity of the system of equations are explained within the context of reservoir engineering principles. Simplified equations and appropriate boundary conditions have also been presented for various cases. It has been demonstrated that various well-known equations such as Jacob, Terzaghi, Buckley-Leverett, Richards, solute transport, black-oil, and Biot equations are simplifications of the compositional model.Notation List B reservoir thickness - B formation volume factor of phase - Cⁱ mass of component i dissolved per total volume of solution - C ⁱ mass fraction of component i in phase - C heat capacity of phase at constant volume - C_p heat capacity of phase at constant pressure - D ⁱ hydrodynamic dispersion coefficient of component i in phase - D_MTf thermal liquid diffusivity for fluid f - F = F(x, y, z, t) defines the boundary surface - f_p fractional flow of phase - g gravitational acceleration - H_p enthalpy per unit mass of phase - J_p volumetric flux of phase - k_rf relative permeability to fluid f - k₀ absolute permeability of the medium - M_p ⁱ mass of component i in phase - n porosity - N rate of accretion - P_f pressure in fluid f - p_ca capillary pressure between phases and =p-p - Rⁱ rate of mass transfer of component i from phase to phase - Rⁱ _source source rate of component i within phase - S saturation of phase - s gas solubility - T temperature - t time - U displacement vector - u velocity in the x-direction - v velocity in the y-direction - V volume of phase - V_s velocity of soil solids - W_i body force in coordinate direction i - x horizontal coordinate - z vertical coordinate Greek Letters _p volumetric coefficient of compressibility - _T volumetric coefficient of thermal expansion - _ij Kronecker delta - volumetric strain - _m thermal conductivity of the whole matrix - internal energy per unit mass of phase - gf suction head - density of phase - _ij tensor of total stresses - _ij tensor of effective stresses - volumetric content of phase - f viscosity of fluid f     

Mixed convection flow in narrow vertical ducts

The mixed convection flow in a vertical duct is analysed under the assumption that , the ratio of the duct width to the length over which the wall is heated, is small. It is assumed that a fully developed Poiseuille flow has already been set up in the duct before heat from the wall causes this to be changed by the action of the buoyancy forces, as measured by a buoyancy parameter . An analytical solution is derived for the case when the Reynolds numberRe, based on the duct width, is of 0 (1). This is extended to the case whenRe is 0 (^–1) by numerical integrations of the governing equations for a range of values of representing both aiding and opposing flows. The limiting cases, || 1 andR=Re of 0 (1), andR and both large, with of 0 (R ^1/3) are considered further. Finally, the free convection limit, large with R of 0 (1), is discussed.

Mischkonvektion in engen senkrechten Rohren

Zusammenfassung Mischkonvektion in einem senkrechten Rohr wird unter der Voraussetzung untersucht, daß das Verhältnis der Rohrbreite zur Länge, über welche die Wand beheizt wird, klein ist. Es wird angenommen, daß sich bereits eine voll entwickelte Poiseuille-Strömung in dem Rohr eingestellt hat, bevor Antriebskräfte, gemessen mit dem Auftriebsparameter , aufgrund der Wandbeheizung die Strömung verändern. Es wird eine analytische Lösung für den Fall erhalten, daß die mit der Rohrbreite als charakteristische Länge gebildete Reynolds-ZahlRe konstant ist. Dies wird mittels einer numerischen Integration der wichtigsten Gleichungen auf den FallRe =f (^–1) sowohl für Gleich- als auch für Gegenstrom ausgedehnt. Weiterhin werden die beiden Grenzfälle betrachtet, wenn || 1 undR=Re konstant ist, sowieR und beide groß mit proportionalR ^1/3. Schließlich wird der Grenzfall der freien Konvektion, großes mit konstantem R, diskutiert.

Prediction of stagnation point heat transfer for a slot jet impinging on a concave semicylindrical surface

A systematic procedure has been laid out for assessment of fluid flow and heat transfer parameters for a slot jet impinging on a concave semicylindrical surface. Based on Walz's modifications of the Karman-Pohlhausen integral method, expressions have been derived for evaluation of the momentum thickness, boundary layer thickness and the displacement thickness at the stagnation point. The work then has been extended for the estimation of thermal boundary layer thickness and local heat transfer coefficients. A correlation has been presented for the Nusselt number at the stagnation point as a function of the Reynolds number for different non-dimensional distances from the exit plane of the jet to the impingement surface.

Mean and turbulent velocity measurements of supersonic mixing layers

The behavior of supersonic mixing layers under three conditions has been examined by schlieren photography and laser Doppler velocimetry. In the schlieren photographs, some large-scale, repetitive patterns were observed within the mixing layer; however, these structures do not appear to dominate the mixing layer character under the present flow conditions. It was found that higher levels of secondary freestream turbulence did not increase the peak turbulence intensity observed within the mixing layer, but slightly increased the growth rate. Higher levels of freestream turbulence also reduced the axial distance required for development of the mean velocity. At higher convective Mach numbers, the mixing layer growth rate was found to be smaller than that of an incompressible mixing layer at the same velocity and freestream density ratio. The increase in convective Mach number also caused a decrease in the turbulence intensity ( _u/U).List of symbols a speed of sound - b total mixing layer thickness between U ₁ – 0.1 U and U ₂ + 0.1 U - f normalized third moment of u-velocity, f u³/(U)³ - g normalized triple product of u² , g u²/(U)³ - h normalized triple product of u ², h u ²/(U)³ - l _u axial distance for similarity in the mean velocity - l _u axial distance for similarity in the turbulence intensity - M Mach number - M _c convective Mach number (for ₁ = ₂), M _c (U ₁ – U ₂)/(a ₁ + a ₂) - P static pressure - r freestream velocity ratio, r U ₂/U ₁ - Re unit Reynolds number, Re U/ - s freestream density ratio, s ₂/₁ - T _t total temperature - u instantaneous streamwise velocity - u deviation of u-velocity, uu – U - U local mean streamwise velocity - U ₁ primary freestream velocity - U ₂ secondary freestream velocity - average of freestream velocities, (U ₁ + U ₂)/2 - U freestream velocity difference, U U ₁ – U ₂ - instantaneous transverse velocity - v deviation of -velocity, – V - V local mean transverse velocity - x streamwise coordinate - y transverse coordinate - y ₀ transverse location of the mixing layer centerline - ensemble average - ratio of specific heats - boundary layer thickness (y-location at 99.5% of free-stream velocity) - similarity coordinate, (y – y ₀)/b - compressible boundary layer momentum thickness - viscosity - density - standard deviation - dimensionless velocity, (U – U ₂)/U - 1 primary stream - 2 secondary stream A version of this paper was presented at the 11th Symposium on Turbulence, October 17–19, 1988, University of Missouri-Rolla     

Turbulent boundary layer over a smooth wall with widely separated transverse square cavities

Laser-Doppler velocimetry (LDV) measurements and flow visualizations are used to study a turbulent boundary layer over a smooth wall with transverse square cavities at two values of the momentum thickness Reynolds number (R =400 and 1300). The cavities are spaced 20 element widths apart in the streamwise direction. Flow visualizations reveal a significant communication between the cavities and the overlying shear layer, with frequent inflows and ejections of fluid to and from cavities. There is evidence to suggest that quasi-streamwise near-wall vortices are responsible for the ejections of fluid out of the cavities. The wall shear stress, which is measured accurately, increases sharply immediately downstream of the cavity. This increase is followed by a sudden decrease and a slower return to the smooth wall value. Integration of the wall shear stress in the streamwise direction indicates that there is an increase in drag of 3.4% at bothR .Nomenclature C _f skin friction coefficient - C _fsw friction coefficient for a continuous smooth wall - k height of the cavity - k ⁺ ku / - R Reynolds number based on momentum thickness (U ₁ /v) - Rx Reynolds number based on streamwise distance (U ₁ x/) - s streamwise distance between two cavities - t time - t ⁺ tu ₂ / - U ₁ freestream velocity - mean velocity inx direction - u,v,w rms turbulent intensities inx,y andz directions - u local friction velocity - u _sw friction velocity for a continuous smooth wall - w width of the cavity - x streamwise co-ordinate measured from the downstream edge of the cavity - y co-ordinate normal to the wall - z spanwise co-ordinate - y ⁺ yu / - boundary layer thickness - ₀ boundary layer thickness near the upstream edge of the cavity - _i thickness of internal layer - kinematic viscosity of water - ⁺ zu / - momentum thickness

Transport in ordered and disordered porous media V: Geometrical results for two-dimensional systems

In this paper we continue the geometrical studies of computer generated two-phase systems that were presented in Part IV. In order to reduce the computational time associated with the previous three-dimensional studies, the calculations presented in this work are restricted to two dimensions. This allows us to explore more thoroughly the influence of the size of the averaging volume and to learn something about the use of anon-representative region in the determination of averaged quantities.

Heat transfer from laminar flow in ducts with elliptic cross-section

Summary The cooling of a hot fluid in laminar Newtonian flow through cooled elliptic tubes has been calculated theoretically. Numerical data have been computed for the two values 1.25 and 4 of the axial ratio of the elliptic cross-section . For =1.25 the influence of non-zero thermal resistance between outmost fluid layer and isothermal surroundings has also been investigated. Special attention has been given to the distribution of heat flux around the perimeter; when increases the flux varies more with the position at the circumference. This positional dependence becomes less pronounced, however, as the (position-independent) thermal resistance of the wall increases.Flattening of the conduit, while maintaining its cross-sectional area constant, improves the cooling. Comparison with rectangular pipes shows that this improvement is not as marked with elliptic as with rectangular pipes.Nomenclature A _k =A _{m, n} coefficients of expansion (6) - a, b half-axes of ellipse, b<a - a _p =a _{r, s} coefficients of representation (V) - D hydraulic diameter, = 4S/P; S = cross-sectional area, P = perimeter - D _e equivalent diameter, according to (13) - n coordinate (outward) normal to the tube wall - T temperature of fluid - T _i temperature of fluid at the inlet - T _s temperature of surroundings - v ₀ mean velocity of fluid - v _z longitudinal velocity of fluid - x, y carthesian coordinates coinciding with axes of ellipse - z coordinate in flow direction - , dimensionless half-axes of ellipse, =a/D and =b/D - _t heat transfer coefficient from fluid at bulk temperature to surroundings; equation (11) - _w heat transfer coefficient at the wall; equation (3) - axial ratio of ellipse, = a/b = / - , , , dimensionless coordinates; =x/D, =y/D, =z/D, =n/D - dimensionless temperature, = (T–T _s)/(T _i–T _s) - ₀ cup-mixing mean value of ; equation (10) - thermal conductivity of fluid - _m,n = _k eigenvalue - c volumetric heat capacity of fluid - _{m, n} = _k = _k eigenfunction; equations (6) and (I) - Nu total Nusselt number, = _t D/ - Nusselt number at large distance from the inlet - Nu _w wall Nusselt number, = _w D/, based on _w - Pé Péclet number, = ₀ Dc/     

Deformation to breaking of deep water gravity waves

The results of laboratory observations of the deformation of deep water gravity waves leading to wave breaking are reported. The specially developed visualization technique which was used is described. A preliminary analysis of the results has led to similar conclusions than recently developed theories. As a main fact, the observed wave breaking appears as the result of, first, a modulational instability which causes the local wave steepness to approach a maximum and, second, a rapidly growing instability leading directly to the breaking.List of symbols L total wave length - H total wave height - crest elevation above still water level - trough depression below still water level - wave steepness =H/L - crest steepness =/L - trough steepness =/L - F ₁ forward horizontal length from zero-upcross point (A) to wave crest - F ₂ backward horizontal length from wave crest to zero-downcross point (B) - crest front steepness =/F ₁ - crest rear steepness =/F ₂ - vertical asymmetry factor=F ₂/F ₁ (describing the wave asymmetry with respect to a vertical axis through the wave crest) - µ horizontal asymmetry factor=/H (describing the wave asymmetry with respect to a horizontal axis: SWL) - T ₀ wavemaker period - L ₀ theoretical wave length of a small amplitude sinusoïdal wave generated at T _inf0 ^sup–1 frequency - ₀ average wave height

On the influence of transvers-curvature and density in inhomogeneous turbulent free jets

The prediction of turbulent flows based on the k- model is extended to include the influence of transverse-curvature and density on the turbulent transport mechanisms. The empirical constants involved are adjusted such that the best agreement between predictions and experimental results is obtained. Using a transformation the boundary layer equations are solved numerically by means of a finite difference method of Hermitian type. The extended model is applied to predict the axisymmetric jet with variable density. The results of the calculations are in agreement with measurements.

The virtual origin of riblets in an open channel flow

In this paper, a method using the mean velocity profiles for the buffer layer was developed for the estimation of the virtual origin over a riblets surface in an open channel flow. First, the standardized profiles of the mixing length were estimated from the velocity measurement in the inner layer, and the location of the edge of the viscous layer was obtained. Then, the virtual origins were estimated by the best match between the measured velocity profile and the equations of the velocity profile derived from the mixing length profiles. It was made clear that the virtual origin and the thickness of the viscous layer are the function of the roughness Reynolds number. The drag variation coincided well with other results.Nomenclature f _r skin friction coefficient - f _ro skin friction coefficient in smooth channel at the same flow quantity and the same energy slope - g gravity acceleration - H water depth from virtual origin to water surface - H ⁺ u*H/ - H false water depth from top of riblets to water surface - H ⁺ u*H/ - I _e streamwise energy slope - I _b bed slope - k riblet height - k ⁺ u*k/ - l mixing length - l _s standardized mixing length - Q flow quantity - Re Reynolds number volume flow/unit width/v - s riblet spacing - u mean velocity - u* friction velocity = - u* false friction velocity = - y distance from virtual origin - y distance from top of riblet - y ₀ distance from top of riblet to virtual origin - y _v distance from top of riblet to edge of viscous layer - y ⁺ u*y/ - y ⁺ u*y/ - y ₀ ⁺ u*y ₀/ - u ⁺ u*y/ - shifting coefficient for standardization - thickness of viscous layer=y ₀+y - ⁺ u*/ - ⁺ u*/ - eddy viscosity - ridge angle - v kinematic viscosity - density - shear stress     

A noninvasive method for the measurement of flow-induced surface displacement of a compliant surface

A noninvasive optical method is described which allows the measurement of the vertical component of the instantaneous displacement of a surface at one or more points. The method has been used to study the motion of a passive compliant layer responding to the random forcing of a fully developed turbulent boundary layer. However, in principle, the measurement technique described here can be used equally well with any surface capable of scattering light and to which optical access can be gained. The technique relies on the use of electro-optic position-sensitive detectors; this type of transducer produces changes in current which are linearly proportional to the displacement of a spot of light imaged onto the active area of the detector. The system can resolve displacements as small as 2 m for a point 1.8 mm in diameter; the final output signal of the system is found to be linear for displacements up to 200 m, and the overall frequency response is from DC to greater than 1 kHz. As an example of the use of the system, results detailing measurements obtained at both one and two points simultaneously are presented.List of symbols C _t elastic transverse wave speed = (G/)^1/2 - d ⁺ spot diameter normalized by viscous length scale - G frequency average of G() - G() shear storage modulus - G() shear loss modulus - l. viscous length scale = v/u _* - N total number of sampled data values - r separation vector for 2-point measurements = (, ) - rms root-mean-square value - R momentum thickness Reynolds number = U _t8/v - t time - u (y) mean streamwise component of velocity in boundary layer - u _* friction velocity = (t _w/)^1/2 - U free-stream velocity - x, y, z longitudinal, normal and spanwise directions - y _o undisturbed surface position - vertical component of compliant surface displacement - ₉₉ boundary layer thickness for which u(y) = 0.99 U _t8 - _l viscous sublayer thickness 5 l _* - frequency average of G()/ - boundary layer momentum thicknes = - fluid dynamic viscosity - v fluid kinematic viscosity = / - , longitudinal, spanwise components of separation vector r - fluid density - time delay - _w wall shear stress     

Prediction of stagnation point heat transfer for a single round jet impinging on a concave hemispherical surface

This paper deals with a systematic procedure for assessment of fluid flow and heat transfer parameters for a single round jet impinging on a concave hemispherical surface. Based on Scholkemeier's modifications of the Karman-Pohlhausen integral method, expressions are derived for evaluation of the momentum thickness, boundary layer thickness and the displacement thickness at the stagnation point. This is followed by the estimation of thermal boundary layer thickness and local heat transfer coefficients. A correlation is presented for the Nusselt number at the stagnation point as a function of the Reynolds number for different non-dimensional distances from the exit plane of the jet to the impingement surface.

Bestimmung des Staupunktes bei der Wärmeübertragung für einen einzelnen Strahl, der auf eine konkave halbkugelige Oberfläche trifft

Zusammenfassung Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem systematischen Verfahren der Bewertung von Fluidströmungen und Wärmeübertragungsparametern für einen einzelnen runden Strahl, der auf eine konkave halbkugelförmige Oberfläche trifft. Das Verfahren beruht auf Scholkemeiers Modifikation des Karman-Pohlhausen Integrationsverfahrens. Ausdrücke sind für die Berechnung der Impuls-Dicke, der Grenzschichtdicke und der Verschiebungsdicke am Staupunkt hergeleitet worden. Dies ist aus der Berechnung der thermischen Grenzschichtdicke und des lokalen Wärmeübertragungskoeffizienten abgeleitet worden. Es wird eine Gleichung für die Nusselt-Zahl am Staupunkt als Funktion der Reynolds-Zahl für verschiedene dimensionslose Abstände vom Strahlaustrittspunkt bis zum Auftreffpunkt auf die Oberfläche vorgestellt.

A three-parameter model describing the experimental relation between shear stress and shear rate for laminar flow of aqueous polymer solutions

Summary A three-parameter model is introduced to describe the shear rate — shear stress relation for dilute aqueous solutions of polyacrylamide (Separan AP-30) or polyethylenoxide (Polyox WSR-301) in the concentration range 50 wppm – 10,000 wppm. Solutions of both polymers show for a similar rheological behaviour. This behaviour can be described by an equation having three parameters i.e. zero-shear viscosity ₀, infinite-shear viscosity , and yield stress ₀, each depending on the polymer concentration. A good agreement is found between the values calculated with this three-parameter model and the experimental results obtained with a cone-and-plate rheogoniometer and those determined with a capillary-tube rheometer.

Zusammenfassung Der Zusammenhang zwischen Schubspannung und Schergeschwindigkeit von strukturviskosen Flüssigkeiten wird durch ein Modell mit drei Parametern beschrieben. Mit verdünnten wäßrigen Polyacrylamid-(Separan AP-30) sowie Polyäthylenoxidlösungen (Polyox WSR-301) wird das Modell experimentell geprüft. Beide Polymerlösungen zeigen im untersuchten Schergeschwindigkeitsbereich von ein ähnliches rheologisches Verhalten. Dieses Verhalten kann mit drei konzentrationsabhängigen Größen, nämlich einer Null-Viskosität ₀, einer Grenz-Viskosität und einer Fließgrenze ₀ beschrieben werden. Die Ergebnisse von Experimenten mit einem Kegel-Platte-Rheogoniometer sowie einem Kapillarviskosimeter sind in guter Übereinstimmung mit den Werten, die mit dem Drei-Parameter-Modell berechnet worden sind.

The dynamics of solid-solid phase transitions 2. Incoherent interfaces

Incoherent phase transitions are more difficult to treat than their coherent counterparts. The interface, which appears as a single surface in the deformed configuration, is represented in its undeformed state by a separate surface in each phase. This leads to a rich but detailed kinematics, one in which defects such as vacancies and dislocations are generated by the moving interface. In this paper we develop a complete theory of incoherent phase transitions in the presence of deformation and mass transport, with phase interface structured by energy and stress. The final results are a complete set of interface conditions for an evolving incoherent interface.Frequently used symbols A_i,C_i generic subsurface of S_t - B_i undeformed phase-i region - C configurational bulk stress, Eshelby tensor - F deformation gradient - G inverse deformation gradient - H relative deformation gradient - J bulk Jacobian of the deformation - ¯K, K_i total (twice the mean) curvature of and S_i - Lin (U, V) linear transformations from U into V - Lin⁺ linear transformations of ³ with positive determinant - Orth⁺ rotations of ³ - Q^a external bulk mass supply of species a - ¯S bulk Cauchy stress tensor - S bulk Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor - S_i undeformed phase i interface - U_i relative velocity of S_i - Unim⁺ linear transformations of ³ with unit determinant - ¯V, V_i normal velocity of and S_i - intrinsic edge velocity of S and A _i S - W_i volume flow across the phase-i interface - X material point - b external body force - e internal bulk configurational force - f_i external interfacial force (configurational) - ¯g external interfacial force (deformational) - grad, div spatial gradient and divergence - gradient and divergence on - h relative deformation - h^a, diffusive mass flux of species a and list of mass fluxes - ¯m outward unit normal to a spatial control volume - ¯n, n_i unit normal to and S_i - n subspace of ³ orthogonal to n - ¯q^a external interfacial mass supply of species a - s ......... - ¯v, v_i compatible velocity fields of and S_i - ¯w, w_i compatible edge velocity fields for and A_i - x spatial point - y_i deformation or motion of phase i - y^. material velocity - generic subsurfaces of - , _i deformed body and deformed phase-i region - () energy supplied to by mass transport - symmetry group of the lattice - _i, surface jacobians - lattice - () power expended on - spatial control volume - S deformed phase interface - lattice point density - interfacial power density - , A total surface stress - C configurational surface stress for phase 1 (material) - ¯C_i configurational surface stress (spatial) - F_i tangential deformation gradient - G_i inverse tangential deformation gradient - H incoherency tensor - ¯1(x), 1_i(X) inclusions of ¯n(x) and n _i (X) into ³ - K configurational surface stress for phase 2 (material) - ¯L, l_i curvature tensor of and S_i - ¯P(x), P_i(X) projections of ³ onto ¯n(x) and n_i (X) - ¯S, S deformational surface stress (spatial and material) - ¯a, a normal part of total surface stress - c normal part of configurational surface stress for phase 1 (material) - e_i internal interfacial configurational force - ¯v, v_i unit normal to and A _i - (x),_i(X) projections of ³ onto ¯n(x) and n _i (X) - _i normal internal force (material) - bulk free energy - slip velocity - _i=(–1)ⁱ _i ......... - ^a, chemical potential of species a and list of potentials - ^a, bulk molar density of species a and list of molar densities - _i normal internal force (spatial) - surface tension - , _i effective shear - referential-to-spatial transform of field - interfacial energy - grand canonical potential - l unit tensor in ³ - x, vector and tensor product in ³ - (...)^., _t(...) material and spatial time derivative - , Div material gradient and divergence - gradient and divergence on S_i - (...), (...) normal time derivative following and S_i - (...) limit of a bulk field asx ,x_i - [...],...> jump and average of a bulk field across the interface - (...)_ext extension of a surface tensor to ³ - tangential part of a vector (tensor) on and S_i
