Stokes Flows under Random Boundary Velocity Excitations

A viscous Stokes flow over a disc under random fluctuations of the velocity on the boundary is studied. We give exact Karhunen-Loève (K-L) expansions for the velocity components, pressure, stress, and vorticity, and the series representations for the corresponding correlation tensors. Both the white noise fluctuations, and general homogeneous random excitations of the velocities prescribed on the boundary are studied. We analyze the decay of correlation functions in angular and radial directions, both for exterior and interior Stokes problems. Numerical experiments show the fast convergence of the K-L expansions. The results indicate that ignoring the stochastic fluctuations in boundary conditions dramatically underestimates the variance of the velocity and pressure in the interior/exterior of the domain.

Velocity Profiles of Slow Blood Flow in a Narrow Tube

A fractal model is introduced into the slow blood motion. When blood flows slowly in a narrow tube, red cell aggregation results in the formation of an approximately cylindrical core of red cells. By introducing the fractal model and using the power law relation between area fraction φ and distance from tube axis ρ, rigorous velocity profiles of the fluid ia and outside the aggregated core and of the core itself are obtained analytically for different fractal dimensions. It shows a blunted velocity distribution for a relatively large fractal dimension (D～2), which can be observed in normal blood; a pathological velocity profile for moderate dimension (D = 1), which is similar to the Segre-Silberberg effect; and a parabolic profile for negligible red cell concentration (D = 0), which likes in the Poiseuille flow.

Shear Profiles and Velocity Distribution in Dense Shear Granular Flow

We perform DEM simulations to investigate the influence of the packing fraction γ on the,shape of mean tangential velocity profile in a 219 annular dense shear granular flow. There is a critical packing fraction γc. For γ 〈 γc, the mean tangential velocity profile shows a roughly exponential decay from the shearing boundary and is almost invariant to the imposed shear rate. However, for γ 〉 γc, the tangential velocity profile exhibits a rate-dependence feature and changes from linear to nonlinear gradually with the increasing shear rate. Furthermore, the distributions of normalized tangential velocities at different positions along radial direction exhibit the Gaussian or the composite Gaussian distributing features.

Shock Waves for a Discrete Velocity Gas Mixture

We introduce three new models for a binary mixture which have only 6+5, 8+5, and 12+5 velocities and study the properties of the first two. The models are plane and have five conservation laws as expected for a binary mixture in the plane case. We look for exact solutions corresponding to traveling waves, which turn out to have the properties of a structured shock wave, and study their properties. Particular attention is paid to the overshoots in the profiles of internal energy for the mixture and the two components.     

A Class of Planar Discrete Velocity Models for Gas Mixtures

We present a method for the construction of a simple class of physically acceptable planar discrete velocity models (DVMs) for binary gas mixtures. We want five conservation laws (no more, no less) with binary collisions. We first consider a collision with a particle at rest and different possibilities for the three other particles. We associate other particles and find semisymmetric qv _i models with q=7, 9, 11, 13 and 15, symmetric with respect to the two coordinate axes, but not to an exchange between the two axes. In order to avoid spurious mass conservation relations for the species without particle at rest, we find, for the two coordinate axes, that the tips of the momenta of the particles must be on two intervals parallel to one axis with opposite values on the other. There remain some physically acceptable q=9 (the smallest) and 11, 13, 15 models (adding multiple collisions for some others). Second, we construct the associated symmetric models qv _i^qv _i, which are superpositions of the qv _i model and another ^qv _i, rotated by /2. The possible previous defect of the spurious mass invariant for qv _i is transmitted to the symmetric one. We explain another defect coming from qv _i and ^qv _i having only one common particle, then spurious invariants exist for the momentum conservations along the two axes. We get four physically acceptable symmetric 17v _i (and three intermediate semisymmetric 13v _i models) and one 25v _i model superposition of two 11v _i and two 15v _i models (other acceptable symmetric 11v _i, 13v _i, and 25v _i models exist with multiple collisions).

Shadow Doppler Velocimetry for Simultaneous Size and Velocity Measurements of Irregular Particles in Confined Reacting Flows

We report the application of the Shadow Doppler Velocimeter (SDV) for spatial precise, simultaneous measurement of the size and velocity to assess the particle retention performance of a laboratory, 1/6 scale, 10 kW vertically-fired atmospheric model of the pressurised pulverised-coal furnace of Reichert et al. [1]. The SDV is based on the imaging of a conventional LDV probe volume onto a linear photodiode array and has the advantage over other sizing methods for irregular particles that it is tolerant of the optical misalignment and fouling which are inevitable when passing laser beams through windows in such furnaces. The size and two components of velocity of burning coal particles were measured in the present geometry which has 172 mm furnace diameter and 40 mm lateral exit duct diameter and a calculated exit bulk velocity of 4 m/s, evaluated at 300 K. The Sauter mean diameter of the particles is, within the experimental error, uniform at about 40 μm in the vertical profile normal to the axis of the exhaust pipe, 34.5 mm upstream of the exit. Coal particle velocities in the near-exit region are directed towards the exit, closely following the gas-phase velocities. Both these observations imply that particle retention efficiency due to streamline curvature is low and extrapolation suggests that there will be even less at large scales.     

Simulation of Viscous Flows Around a Moving Airfoil by Field Velocity Method with Viscous Flux Correction

Based on the field velocity method, a novel approach for simulating unsteady pitching and plunging motion of an airfoil is presented in this paper. Responses to pitching and plunging motions of the airfoil are simulated under different conditions. The obtained results are compared with those of moving grid method and good agreement is achieved. In the conventional field velocity method, the Euler solver is usually used to simulate the movement of the airfoil. However, when viscous effect is considered, unsteady Navier-Stokes equations have to be solved and the viscous flux correction must be taken into account. In this work, the viscous flux correction is introduced into the conventional field velocity method when non-uniform grid speed distribution is occurred. Numerical experiments for the flow around NACA0012 airfoil showed that the proposed approach can well simulate viscous moving boundary flow problems.

Nano-scale complexities in the superconducting cuprates

Underdoped cuprates are characterized by nano-scale complexity with strong spatial variation in the electronic properties, including superconductivity. It is often assumed that the stripe order underlies this spatial complexity, but the evidence of local stripe order in the superconducting phase is weak. We propose an alternative idea of electronically driven two-dimensional local order that leads to phase separation in the reciprocal space, which could be the basis for two-component superconductivity.

Thermalhydraulic Characteristics in Annular Pebble Beds with Axial and Radial Gas Flows

The purpose of this article is to determine the heat transfer and hydraulic drag in thin annular pebble beds with axial gas flow and investigate the flow distribution along annular pebble beds with radial flow. The experimental investigations showed that in thin annular pebble beds heat transfer values, equal to those for large (unlimited) pebble beds, could be achieved. The observed distributions of the radial flow in annular pebble beds demonstrated that regulation of flow distribution is possible by changing the permeability of the inner wall (outlet header) of the annular channel.     

Nano-scale copper oxidation on leadframe surface

Copper oxidation studies were carried out by means of field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) techniques. The growth of copper oxide occurs as a copper surface comes in an oxygen containing environment. The reaction sequence leading to oxidation of the copper surface is generally accepted to be oxygen chemisorption, nucleation and growth of the surface oxide and bulk oxide growth. HRTEM examination of the cross section of the oxidized copper sample revealed the interface region in between the copper and copper oxide. At high oxidation temperature, formation of micro-voids and separations were observed along this interface region. Poor adhesion at this interface region due to micro-voids and separation were found to be the root cause of delamination issue. EELS analysis determined that for regions with intact interface the oxidation system is Cu/CuO/Cu₂O/CuO, however, in regions containing micro-voids or separation it is found to be Cu/Cu₂O/CuO.
