Unsteady Radiative–Convective Heat Transfer in a Flow Emitting‐Absorbing and Scattering Medium around an Ablating Plate

A conjugate problem of radiative–convective heat transfer in a turbulent hightemperature gasdisperse flow around a thermally thin ablating plate is considered. The plate experiences intense radiative heating by an external source, which is a blackbody. The temperature fields and the distributions of heat fluxes along the plate under unsteady conditions are calculated. The data gained make it possible to examine the effect of the Stark number and phasetransition heat in the plate material on the time evolution of the thermal state of the boundarylayer medium and the plate itself being heated by a hightemperature radiation source.     

Effects of magnetic field and variable viscosity on forced non‐darcy flow about a flat plate with variable wall temperature in porous media in the presence of suction and blowing

This paper presents a study of the effect of a magnetic field and variable viscosity on steady twodimensional laminar nonDarcy forced convection flow over a flat plate with variable wall temperature in a porous medium in the presence of blowing (suction). The fluid viscosity is assumed to vary as an inverse linear function of temperature. The derived fundamental equations on the assumption of small magnetic Reynolds number are solved numerically by using the finite difference method. The effects of variable viscosity, magnetic and suction (or injection) parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles as well as on the skinfriction and heattransfer coefficients were studied. It is shown that the magnetic field increases the wall skin friction while the heattransfer rate decreases.     

Stationary Simple Waves on a Barotropic Liquid Shear Flow

Stationary threedimensional flows of a barotropic liquid in a gravity field are considered. In the shallowwater approximation, the Euler equations are transformed into a system of integrodifferential equations by the EulerLagrange change of coordinates. A system of simplewave equations is obtained, for which the theorem of existence of a solution attached to a given shear flow is proved. As an example, a particular solution analogous to the solution of the problem of a gas flow around a convex angle is given.     

Asymptotic Modeling of Nonlinear Wave Processes in Shock‐Loaded Elastoplastic Materials

Nonlinear wave processes in shockloaded elastoplastic materials are modeled. A comparison of the results obtained with experimental data and numerical solutions of exact systems of dynamic equations shows that the model equations proposed qualitatively describe the stressdistribution evolution in both the elasticflow and plasticflow regions and can be used to solve one and twodimensional problems of pulsed deformation and fracture of elastoplastic media.     

Effect of Dynamic Prehistory on Aerodynamics of a Laminar Separated Flow in a Channel Behind a Rectangular Backward‐Facing Step

The effect of dynamic prehistory of the flow and the channelexpansion ratio on aerodynamics of a steady separated laminar flow behind a rectangular backwardfacing step located in a planeparallel channel is numerically studied. It is shown that the boundary layer upstream of the flow separation exerts a strong effect on flow characteristics behind the step. A decrease in the boundarylayer thickness in the cross section of the step leads to a decrease in the separationregion length, and an increase in the channelexpansion ratio with a fixed initial boundarylayer thickness and Reynolds number leads to an increase in the separationregion length.     

Analytical Modeling of Nonaqueous Phase Liquid Dissolution with Green's Functions

Equilibrium and bicontinuum nonequilibrium formulations of the advection–dispersion equation (ADE) have been widely used to describe subsurface solute transport. The Green's Function Method (GFM) is particularly attractive to solve the ADE because of its flexibility to deal with arbitrary initial and boundary conditions, and its relative simplicity to formulate solutions for multidimensional problems. The Green's functions that are presented can be used for a wide range of problems involving equilibrium and nonequilibrium transport in semiinfinite and infinite media. The GFM is applied to analytically model multidimensional transport from persistent solute sources typical of nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs). Specific solutions are derived for transport from a rectangular source (parallel to the flow direction) of persistent contamination using first, second, or thirdtype boundary or source input conditions. Away from the source, the first and thirdtype condition cannot be expected to represent the exact surface condition. The secondtype condition has the disadvantage that the diffusive flux from the source needs to be specified a priori. Near the source, the thirdtype condition appears most suitable to model NAPL dissolution into the medium. The solute flux from the pool, and hence the concentration in the medium, depends strongly on the mass transfer coefficient. For all conditions, the concentration profiles indicate that nonequilibrium conditions tend to reduce the maximum solute concentration and the total amount of solute that enters the porous medium from the source. On the other hand, during nonequilibrium transport the solute may spread over a larger area of the medium compared to equilibrium transport.     

Wave regimes on a ferromagnetic viscous‐fluid film flowing down a vertical cylinder

Axially symmetrical waves on the surface of a ferromagnetic viscousfluid film flowing down a cylindrical conductor with alternating current are considered. In this case, in addition to the gravitational force, the film is affected by a spatially nonuniform timedependent magnetic field. The film thickness was assumed to be small compared to the radius of the conductor. In the longwave approximation, a model equation for the deviation of the film thickness from its undisturbed value is obtained. Some numerical solutions of this equations are reported.     

Mixed Formulations of Bending Problems for Homogeneous Elastic Plates and Beams

Mixed formulations of bending problems for homogeneous plates (beams) are proposed, whose essence is that the deformation of a plate (beam) near its fixed boundary is described by the threedimensional elasticity equations, and the remaining part by the conventional equations of plate (beam) bending. At the interface between these regions, the solutions of these equations are joined. The mixed formulation allows one to describe the threedimensional stress state in the neighborhood of the fixed boundaries of plates (beams) and take into account the complex nature of the fixing conditions. Finiteelement implementation is more efficient for the mixed formulations of plate (beam) bending problems than for the wellknown threedimensional formulations.     

Hyperbolicity of Steady‐State Equations of Gas Shear Flows in a Thin Layer

The steadystate threedimensional motion of an ideal gas in a thin layer of variable height is considered. In the longwave approximation, the equations of gas dynamics reduce to a system of integrodifferential equations. The generalized characteristics and hyperbolicity conditions of the obtained system are found.     

Stability of Steady‐State Shear Jet Flows of an Ideal Fluid with a Free Boundary in an Azimuthal Magnetic Field Against Small Long‐Wave Perturbations

The problem of the linear stability of steadystate axisymmetric shear jet flows of a perfectly conducting inviscid incompressible fluid with a free surface in an azimuthal magnetic field is studied. The necessary and sufficient condition for the stability of these flows against small axisymmetric longwave perturbations of special form is obtained by the direct Lyapunov method. It is shown that if this stability condition is not satisfied, the steadystate flows considered are unstable to arbitrary small axisymmetric longwave perturbations. A priori exponential estimates are obtained for the growth of small perturbations. Examples are given of the steadystate flows and small perturbations imposed on them which evolve in time according to the estimates obtained.     

Self‐Sustained Oscillations in Supersonic Overexpanded Impact Jets

The influence of geometric and gasdynamic parameters on the flow structure and parameters of selfsustained oscillations in supersonic overexpanded jets interacting with a normally located plane finite obstacle is studied experimentally and theoretically. It is found that the geometric Mach number and the halfangle of nozzle expansion exert a significant effect on the interaction process. A comparison of experimental and numerical data allows one to find a possible reason for the emergence of selfsustained oscillations in overexpanded impact jets.     

Effect of Free‐Stream Turbulence on the Flow Structure near a Wedge and the Windward Side of an Airfoil

The flow structure behind wire grids is studied for flows with a low subsonic velocity, and the effect of grids on the boundarylayer flow structure is considered. It is shown that the meanvelocity inhomogeneity induced by the grid does not disappear until a distance of 925 calibers downstream of the grid is reached. Liquidcrystal thermography combined with hotwire measurements made it possible to find the source of steady largescale streamwise vortex structures in the boundary layer on a wedge and on an airfoil and to determine the parameters of these structures.     

Viscosity of a Dilute Suspension in a High‐Frequency Electromagnetic Field

The action of a highfrequency electromagnetic field on a dilute suspension of spherical particles with a constant dipole moment is studied using statistical mechanics. An expression for effective viscosity is obtained. It is shown that the shear viscosity of the dilute suspension depends on the frequency, magnitude, and direction of the highfrequency electromagnetic field. Depending on the frequency of the highfrequency electromagnetic field, the rotation of the suspension particles is decelerated or accelerated, with the viscosity increasing or decreasing, respectively. It is shown that the acceleration of the suspension particles by a highfrequency electromagnetic field and, hence, the decrease in shear viscosity has a resonant nature.     

Stability and Self‐Oscillations of a Rotor Containing a Conducting Liquid in a Magnetic Field

This paper considers the problem of the stability in the small of the steadystate spinning of a rotor with a cylindrical cavity partly filled with a viscous, incompressible, conducting liquid in a magnetic field. The responses of the buttend boundary layers and the resultant force exerted by the liquid on the rotor performing circular precession of small radius are determined. The plane of the viscoelastic restraint parameters of the rotor axis was Dpartitioned into regions with different degrees of instability is constructed. Steadystate spinning near the boundary of the region of stability in the space of parameters is studied assuming nonlinear responses of the supports. It is shown that passage through the boundary of the region of stability leads to bifurcation of the steadystate spinning regime, resulting in periodic motion of the type of circular precession. The origin ofperiodic motion from steadystate spinning can be subcritical or supercritical.     

Origination of In‐Phase Oscillations of Thin Plates with Aeroelastic Interaction

Synchronization of oscillations of thin elastic plates that are walls of a gasfilled channel is considered. The gas motion is described by a system of Navier–Stokes equations, which is solved using the secondorder MacCormack method with time splitting. The motion of the channel walls is described by a system of geometrically nonlinear dynamic equations of the theory of this plates, which is solved by the finitedifference method. Kinematic and dynamic contact conditions are imposed at the interface between the media. A numerical experiment is performed to determine typical dynamic regimes and study the transition of the aeroelastic system to inphase oscillations.     

Thermal stability of a disturbed fluid flow

Stability of periodic solutions of a nonselfsimilar nonlinear problem is studied. The problem describes the thermal state of an axial fluid flow with continuously distributed sources of heat. The flow experiences the action of external lowamplitude perturbations changing in time in accordance with known periodic laws. The spectral problem is solved by the method of parametrix, and the critical conditions of the thermal explosion are determined in the linear approximation. Stability of the periodic solution at the critical point is evaluated using the known theorem of factorization, which takes into account the effect of nonlinear terms of the heatbalance equation. The calculation results show that the periodic solution is stable if the total action of external periodic perturbations at the critical point is directed to reduction of the fluidflow temperature.     

Heat Transfer on the Surface on a Spherically Blunted Cone Exposed to a Supersonic Spatial Flow with Injection of a Coolant Gas

The heattransfer processes in a supersonic spatial flow around a spherically blunted cone with allowance for heat overflow along the longitudinal and circumferential coordinates and injection of a coolant gas are studied numerically. The prospects of using highly heatconducting materials and injection of a coolant gas for reduction of the maximum temperatures at the body surface are demonstrated. The solutions of the direct and inverse problems in one, two, and threedimensional formulations for different shell materials are compared. The error of the thinwall method in determining the heat flux on the heatloaded boundary of the body is estimated.
