Essence of Inviscid Shear Instability: a Point View of Vortex Dynamics

The essence of shear instability is reviewed both mathematically and physically, which extends the instability theory of a sheet vortex from the viewpoint of vortex dynamics. For this, the Kelvin-Arnol＇d theorem is retrieved in linear context, i.e., the stable flow minimizes the kinetic energy associated with vorticity. Then the mechanism of shear instability is explored by combining the mechanisms of both Kelvin Helmholtz instability （K-H instability） and resonance of waves. The waves, which have the same phase speed with the concentrated vortex, have interactions with the vortex to trigger the instability. The physical explanation of shear instability is also sketched by extending Batchelor＇s theory. These results should lead to a more comprehensive understanding on shear instabilities.     

稠密等离子体表面不稳定性的入射光偏振态效应

用二维粒子模拟程序研究了相对论强激光和稠密等离子体相互作用引起的表面不稳定。数值模拟表明,在s偏振光作用下,等离子体表面出现了类瑞利泰勒不稳定性。形成的不稳定结构随时间发展进一步深入到等离子体内部,最终使等离子体密度形成分层泡状结构,并向前传播。这种不稳定的产生与初始等离子体密度有密切关系,在高于20倍临界密度等离子体的表面没有明显观察到这种不稳定。在p偏振激光作用下,等离子体表面不能明显地形成这种结构。因此在三维几何结构下,这种等离子体表面不稳定性将呈现各向异性。这种表面不稳定将直接影响高次谐波产生和离子加速效率。

Dissipative Instability of Shock Waves

A new condition is obtained for the linear instability of a plane front of an intense shock wave in an arbitrary medium, which is determined by the finiteness of the viscosity. It is shown that the shock front instability occurs due to dissipative instability of the flow behind the front, which is analogous to the flow instability in the boundary layer. It is found that in the low-viscosity limit, one-dimensional longitudinal perturbations increase much faster than two-dimensional (corrugation) perturbations. The results are compared with the available data of experimental observation and numerical simulation of instability of shock waves. The comparison shows a better agreement between the new absolute shock instability as compared to the condition of such instability in the classical D’yakov theory disregarding viscosity.     

Flame fingers and interactions of hydrodynamic and thermodiffusive instabilities in laminar lean hydrogen flames

Lean hydrogen/air flames are prone to hydrodynamic and thermodiffusive instabilities. In this work, the contribution of each instability mechanism is quantified separately by performing detailed simulations of laminar planar lean hydrogen/air flames with different diffusivity models and equations of state to selectively suppress the hydrodynamic or thermodiffusive instability mechanism.From the analysis of the initial phase of the simulations, the thermodiffusive instability is shown to dominate the flame dynamics. If differential diffusion and, hence, the thermodiffusive instability is suppressed, the flame features a strong reduction of the instability growth rates, whereas if present, a wide range of unstable wave numbers is observed due to the strong destabilizing nature of differential diffusion. When instabilities are fully developed, lean hydrogen/air flames feature the formation of small-scale cellular structures and large-scale flame fingers. While the size of the former is known to be close to the most unstable wave length of a linear stability analysis, this work shows that flame fingers also originate from the thermodiffusive instability and most noteworthy, are not linked to an interaction of the two instability mechanisms. They are stable with respect to external perturbations and feature an enhanced flame propagation as the formation of a central cusp at their tip enables the co-existence of two strongly curved leading edges with high reactivity. The thermodiffusive instability is shown to significantly affect the flames’ consumption speed, while the consumption speed enhancement caused by the hydrodynamic instability is significantly smaller. Further, the surface area increase due to wrinkling is strongly diminished if one of the two instability mechanisms is missing. This is linked to a synergistic interaction between the two mechanisms, as the propagation of flame fingers is enhanced by the presence of the hydrodynamic instability due to a widening of the streamlines ahead of the flame fingers.     

W波段回旋行波管绝对不稳定性的分析

 绝对不稳定性是制约回旋行波管性能的主要因素之一。通过回旋行波管色散方程,详细分析了W波段基波回旋行波管绝对不稳定性的形成和特征,提出了采用多段损耗波导来抑制绝对不稳定性的方法。分析表明,绝对不稳定性的起振存在一定阈值,起振电流对电子注参数和电路参数极其敏感,确定起振电流是稳定器件工作的前提条件。通过PIC模拟,给出了采用无损耗波导结构,且工作电流为25 A和10 A条件下的放大器频谱图和功率图,结果表明绝对不稳定性的出现与否主要由工作电流是否超过起振的阈值电流决定,损耗波导是抑制绝对不稳定性的有效手段。     

Control over the instability wave in terms of the two-dimensional model of a nozzle edge

The problem of generation of an instability wave leaving the edge of a half-plane that separates an immobile medium from a moving medium is considered. It is assumed that the instability wave is initiated by an acoustic wave arriving from the moving medium. The possibility of suppressing the instability wave by another acoustic wave incident from the nonflowing medium is considered. It is shown that the suppression is always possible by adjusting the amplitude and phase of the control perturbation to the parameters of the instability wave.

Stabilization effect of Weibel modes due to inverse bremsstrahlung absorption in laser fusion plasma using Krook collisions model

In this work, the Weibel instability due to inverse bremsstrahlung absorption in laser fusion plasma has been investigated. The stabilization effect due to the coupling of the self-generated magnetic field by Weibel instability with the laser wave field is explicitly showed. The main result obtained in this work is that the inclusion of self-generated magnetic field due to Weibel instability to the inverse bremsstrahlung absorption causes a stabilizing effect of excited Weibel modes. We found a decrease in the spectral range of Weibel unstable modes. This decrease is accompanied by a reduction of two orders in the growth rate of instability or even stabilization of these modes. It has been shown that the previous analyses of the Weibel instability due to inverse bremsstrahlung have overestimated the values of the generated magnetic fields. Therefore, the generation of magnetic fields by the Weibel instability due to inverse bremsstrahlung should not affect the experiences of an inertial confinement fusion.     

Experimental investigation of Risken–Nummedal–Graham–Haken laser instability in fiber ring lasers

It has been suggested (by Pessina et al. in 1997) that the observed spontaneous mode beating of erbium-doped-fiber ring lasers can be explained as the multimode instability described in 1968 by Risken and Nummedal and by Graham and Haken (the RNGH instability), which is based on Rabi-splitting-induced gain. If true, this would constitute the first ever example of this instability in an actual experiment. We test the hypothesis through a quantitative experimental investigation. We demonstrate that there is indeed a clear, marked onset of the instability, a fact that went unnoticed in all previous experiments because it is very close to the lasing threshold. We intentionally raise cavity loss to better separate onset of lasing and of instability. We obtain quantitative information on the instability onset. An interpretation as the predicted second threshold is reasonable provided inhomogeneous gain line broadening is taken into account. We also observe that instability above its onset exists only intermittently; this may hint at a subcritical bifurcation and noise-driven transitions. In any event, the RNGH mechanism is present, if not in a pure form. PACS 42.65.Sf; 42.60.Mi; 42.55.Wd     

Hydrodynamic instability in ohmic regimes with imperfect electric membranes

The transition to overlimiting currents directly from prelimiting regimes bypassing the limitingcurrent stage is considered for imperfect electric membranes. The hydrodynamic instability of the onedimensional equilibrium state, which is a result of the balance between diffusion and electromigration, is investigated. The influence of volume and surface effects on instability and the transition to overlimiting currents is estimated under variation of the membrane selectivity. It is found that the dominating mechanism of instability is destabilization of the residual space charge. The fact of the replacement of monotonic instability by vibratory instability with a vibration frequency of about 50?300 Hz has been discovered.     

Influence of deformations before instability on the parametric instability of conical shells under periodic pressure

On the basis of the dynamic version of linear Donnell type equations and with deformations before instability taken into account, the dynamic instability of clamped, truncated conical shells under periodic pressure is analyzed. The principal instability regions are determined by combining Bolotin's method and a finite difference procedure. Calculations are carried out for two kinds of conical shell. The effect of bending deformations before instability is found to change the width of the principal instability regions in the vicinities of twice the natural frequencies of asymmetric vibration. Other principal instability regions are detected in the neighborhoods of the resonances of symmetrically forced vibrations.

高超声速边界层中由粗糙元引起强制转捩的机理

由大粗糙元引起的高超声速边界层强制转捩在航天技术中有实际应用, 因而近年来受到人们的广泛关注.虽然目前导致该转捩过程的内在机理尚不完全清楚, 但有一点是明确的, 即粗糙元的尾迹流场中存在强对流不稳定性.文章的出发点是研究这种对流不稳定模态是如何触发转捩的.首先通过CFD方法, 计算出高超声速边界层中粗糙元的尾迹流场, 并对其进行二维稳定性分析.结果发现, 在传统不稳定Tollmien-Schlichting(T-S)模态出现的临界Reynolds数之前, 存在高增长率的无黏不稳定模态, 表现为对称的余弦模态和反对称的正弦模态.然后对该不稳定模态在粗糙元尾迹流中的演化进行了模拟, 验证了二维稳定性分析的结果, 并考察了非平行性效应的影响.最后通过直接数值模拟, 研究由这些不稳定模态触发转捩的全过程.结果表明, 对流不稳定模态确实是导致边界层转捩的关键机制.该转捩过程的特点是, 局部湍斑首先在不稳定模态特征函数的峰值附近出现, 然后向全流场扩散.就文章研究的工况而言, 余弦和正弦模态的相互作用对转捩的影响并不明显, 且后者在转捩过程中起主导作用.      

Dynamical parametric instability of carbon nanotubes under axial harmonic excitation by nonlocal continuum theory

Structures under parametric load can be induced to the parametric instability in which the excitation frequency is located the instability region. In the present work, the parametric instability of double-walled carbon nanotubes is studied. The axial harmonic excitation is considered and the nonlocal continuum theory is applied. The critical equation is derived as the Mathieu form by the Galerkin's theory and the instability condition is presented with the Bolotin's method. Numerical calculations are performed and it can be seen that the van der Waals interaction can enhance the stability of double-walled nanotubes under the parametric excitation. The parametric instability becomes more obvious with the matrix stiffness decreasing and small scale coefficient increasing. The parametric instability is going to be more significant for higher mode numbers. For the nanosystem with the soft matrix and higher mode number, the small scale coefficient and the ratio of the length to the diameter have obvious influences on the starting point of the instability region.

Distribution coefficient algorithm for small mass nodes in material point method

When using the time explicit material point method to simulate interaction of materials accompanied by large deformations and fragmentation, one often encounters a numerical instability caused by small node mass, because acceleration on a mesh node is obtained by dividing the total force on the node by the mass of the node. When the material points are in the far sides of the cells containing the node, typically happening near material interfaces, the node mass can be very small leading to artificially large acceleration and then numerical instability. For the case of small material deformations, this instability is typically avoided by placing the material points away from cell boundaries. For cases with large deformations, with the exception of initial conditions, there is no control on locations of the material points. The instability caused by small mass nodes is often encountered. To avoid this instability tiny time steps are usually required in a numerical calculation.
