Continuous Dependence on the Heat Source in Resonant Porous Penetrative Convection

I study the structural stability for a problem in a porous medium when the density of saturating liquid is a nonlinear function of temperature and an internal heat source is present. It has been shown that for this problem when one considers thermal convection in a plane infinite layer then resonance may occur between internal layers that arise. A key parameter is the internal heat source and its presence may lead to oscillatory instability inducing resonance. Therefore, in this paper, I analyze the general structural stability problem of continuous dependence on the heat source itself for a model of nonisothermal flow in a porous medium of Forchheimer type, in a general three‐dimensional domain.     

Effect of viscosity on internal waves from a source in a wall

The solution for a line source of oscillatory strength kept at the origin in a wall bounding a semi-infinite viscous imcompressible stratified fluid is presented in an integral form. The behaviour of the flow at far field and near field is studied by an asymptotic expansion procedure. The streamlines for different parameters are drawn and discussed. The real characteristic straight lines present in the inviscid problem are modified by the viscosity and the solutions obtained are valid even at the resonance frequency.

Existence of a Global Solution for a Scalar Conservation Law with a Source Term

We are concerned with a scalar conservation law with a source term. This equation is proposed to describe the qualitative behavior of waves for a general system in resonance with the source term by T.P. Liu. In addition to this, the scalar conservation law is used in various areas such as fluid dynamics, traffic problems etc.In the present paper, we prove the global existence and stability of entropy solutions to the Cauchy problem. The difficult point is to obtain the bounded estimate of solutions. To solve it, we introduce some functions as the lower and upper bounds. Therefore, our bounded estimate depends on the space variable. This idea comes from the generalized invariant region theory for the compressible Euler equation. The method is also applicable to other nonlinear problems involving similar difficulties. Finally, we use the vanishing viscosity method to construct approximate solutions and derive the convergence by the compensated compactness.     

Slow rotation of a sphere with source at its centre in a viscous fluid

In this note, the problem of a sphere carrying a fluid source at its centre and rotating with slow uniform angular velocity about a diameter is studied. The analysis reveals that only the azimuthal component of velocity exists and is seen that the effect of the source is to decrease it. Also, the couple on the sphere is found to decrease on account of the source.     

On power-law fluids with the power-law index proportional to the pressure

In this short note we study special unsteady flows of a fluid whose viscosity depends on both the pressure and the shear rate. Here we consider an interesting dependence of the viscosity on the pressure and the shear rate; a power-law of the shear rate wherein the exponent depends on the pressure. The problem is important from the perspective of fluid dynamics in that we obtain solutions to a technologically relevant problem, and also from the point of view of mathematics as the analysis of the problem rests on the theory of spaces with variable exponents. We use the theory to prove the existence of solutions to generalizations of Stokes’ first and second problem.     

Two-dimensional inverse heat conduction problem of source strength estimation in cylindrical rods

The radial and circumferential (azimuthal) transient dependence of the strength of a volumetric heat source in a cylindrical rod is estimated with Alifanov's iterative regularization method. This inverse problem is solved as an optimization problem in which a squared residue functional is minimized with the conjugate gradient method. A sensitivity problem is used in the determination of the step size in the direction of descent, while an adjoint problem is solved to determine the gradient. In order to examine the accuracy of estimations, two test cases are considered, one with a radial and timewise dependence and the second with radial, azimuthal as well as timewise dependence. The effects of number of sensors and measurement errors are investigated.     

Free convection from a point heat source in a stratified fluid

A non-stationary problem of free convection from a point heat source in a stratified fluid is considered. The system of equations is reduced to a single equation for a special scalar function which determinos the velocity field, and the temperature and salinity distribution. Relations are found connecting the spatial and temporal scales of the phenomenon with the parameters of the medium and the intensity of the heat source. The magnitude of the critical source intensity at which the fluid begins to move in a jet-flow mode is established.The structure of convective flows above the heat sources depends, in the stratified media, essentially on the nature of the stratification /1/ which may be caused by a change in the temperature of the medium /2, 3/ or its salinity /4–7/, and by the form of the heat source. When a temperature gradient exists within the medium, an ascending jet forms above the point source, mushrooming outwards near the horizon of the hydrostatic equilibrium. In the case of a fluid with salinity gradient, the jet is surrounded by a sheet of descending salty fluid, and a regular system of annular convective cells is formed around it /1/.The height of the stationary jet computed in /2, 3/ on the basis of conservative laws agrees with experiment. However, this approach does not enable the temperature and velocity distribution over the whole space to be found and does not enable the problem of determining the flow to be investigated. A stationary solution of the linearized convection equations /8/ does not correspond to detail to the observed flow pattern /1, 5–7/. In this connection the study of the non-linear, non-stationary convection equations is of interest.The purpose of this paper is to construct a non-linear, non-stationary free convection equation above a point heat source, and to analyse the scales of the resulting structure and the critical conditions under which the flow pattern changes.     

Solution of the boundary value problem for the equations of steady-state flow of a viscous incompressible nonisothermal fluid past a heated rigid spherical particle

We obtain an analytical solution of a boundary value problem for a viscous incompressible nonisothermal fluid assuming an exponential–power law dependence of the fluid viscosity on temperature. A uniqueness theorem for the Navier–Stokes equation linearized with respect to the velocity is proved. We obtain expressions for the mass velocity components and pressure. The solution of the boundary value problem is sought in the form of an expansion in Legendre polynomials.     

Identification of source term for the Rayleigh‐Stokes problem with Gaussian random noise

In this paper, we study an inverse source problem for the Rayleigh‐Stokes problem for a generalized second‐grade fluid with a fractional derivative model. The problem is severely ill‐posed in the sense of Hadamard. To regularize the unstable solution, we apply a general filter method for constructing regularized solution, and the convergence rate of this method also has been investigated.     

The Riemann Problem for Chaplygin Gas Flow in a Duct with Discontinuous Cross-Section

The fluid flows in a variable cross-section duct are nonconservative because of the source term. Recently, the Riemann problem and the interactions of the elementary waves for the compressible isentropic gas in a variable cross-section duct were studied.In this paper, the Riemann problem for Chaplygin gas flow in a duct with discontinuous cross-section is studied. The elementary waves include rarefaction waves, shock waves,delta waves and stationary waves.

Incipient separation over wall irregularities in transonic flow

Incipient separation over wall irregularities in a steady two dimensional flow field of a perfect fluid which has transonic speed characteristics has been investigated considering viscous-inviscid interactions at high Reynolds number. The aim of this work is to investigate dependence of the critical hump height (when a well attached flow over rigid body surface turns into a separated one) on the Karman–Guderley parameter which characterizes of the local flow field. The analysis of the flow field starts with the so-called inspection analysis of the flow properties and then the interaction problem has been constructed using the asymptotic analysis of triple-deck structure of interaction region. Finally, a method based on a semi-direct solution of governing equations of the transonic interaction problem has been used to obtain the numerical solution of the problem.

Investigation of Boundary-Value Problem for Stationary System of Equations of Viscous Non-Isothermal Fluid

In the Stokes approximation at small Reynolds and Peclet numbers, we obtain a solution to the boundary-value problem of flow around of particles of spherical shape for stationary system of equations of a viscous non-isothermal fluid comprising a linearized by speed Navier–Stokes equation system and the equation of heat transfer given an exponential-power law of dependence of viscosity of fluid on temperature.     

Analysis of general second-order fluid flow in double cylinder rheometer

The fractional calculus approach in the constitutive relationship model of second-order fluid is introduced and the flow characteristics of the viscoelastic fluid in double cylinder rheometer are studied. First, the analytical solution of which the derivative order is 1/2 is derived with the analytical solution and the reliability of Laplace numerical inversion based on Crump algorithm for the problem is verified, then the characteristics of second-order fluid flow in the rheometer by using Crump method is analyzed. The results indicate that the more obvious the viscoelastic properties of fluid are, the more sensitive the dependence of velocity and stress on fractional derivative order is.     

On a free piston problem for potential ideal fluid flow

Our goal was to model and analyze a stationary and evolutionary potential ideal fluid flow through the junction of two pipes in the gravity field. Inside the ‘vertical’ pipe, there is a heavy piston that can freely move along the pipe. In the stationary case, we are interested in the equilibrium position of the piston in dependence on the geometry of junction, and in the evolutionary case, we study motion of the piston also in dependence on geometry. We formulate corresponding initial and boundary value problems and prove the existence results. The problem is nonlinear because the domain is unknown. Furthermore, we study some qualitative properties of the solutions and compare them with the qualitative properties of a free piston problem for Newtonian fluid flow. All theoretical results are illustrated with numerical experiments. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Multiscale Considerations for Sound Generation in Low Mach Number Flows

Classical approaches in aeroacoustics are mainly based on analytical solutions of the linear wave equations which are valid in the far field. The sound generation is approximated by source terms obtained from a flow simulation. This procedure designated as the ‘acoustic analogy’ was initiated in the classical work of Lighthill. In order to tackle the sound generation problem at low Mach numbers, we consider a multiple scale asymptotic analysis. As we deal with a fluid flow generating the sound itself, the asymptotic ansatz uses one time scale given by the flow convection, but two space scales due to the difference in fluid and sound velocity. The insight given by this analysis is used to obtain source terms describing the sound generation and perturbation equations for the sound propagation. Numerical results are shown for the example of a co‐rotating vortex pair.     

On the boundaries of the parametric resonance domain

The problem of stability for a system of linear differential equations with coefficients which are periodic in time and depend on the parameters is considered. The singularities of the general position arising at the boundaries of the stability and instability (parametric resonance) domains in the case of two and three parameters are listed. A constructive approach is proposed which enables one, in the first approximation, to determine the stability domain in the neighbourhood of a point of the boundary (regular or singular) from the information at this point. This approach enables one to eliminate a tedious numerical analysis of the stability region in the neighbourhood of the boundary point and can be employed to construct the boundaries of parametric resonance domains. As an example, the problem of the stability of the oscillations of an articulated pipe conveying fluid with a pulsating velocity is considered. In the space of three parameters (the average fluid velocity and the amplitude and frequency of pulsations) a singularity of the boundary of the stability domain of the “dihedral angle” type is obtained and the tangential cone to the stability domain is calculated.     

Chattering in dynamic mathematical two-phase flow models

This paper presents a chattering problem which arises in a dynamic mathematical two-phase flow model. The real system under study is also introduced, the DISS test facility, a parabolic-trough solar thermal power plant. The heat transfer fluid in the DISS facility is the steam-water mixture. A dynamic model of this plant, using Modelica as the modeling language, was previously developed in order to study its behavior. Chattering arises in the pipe model reducing the computational performance and hence limiting the applicability of the model. The problem source is studied and analysed together with an approach to the problem which is based on the smooth interpolation of some thermodynamic properties.
