数值研究了偶极玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体(Bose-Einstein condensate, BEC)在环形运动高斯势搅拌时的动力学行为.当高斯势运动速度和尺寸逐渐变化时,偶极BEC中将出现稳定层流、涡旋偶极子、Bénard–von Kármán(BvK)涡街以及混乱激发4种模式.结果表明高斯势在偶极BEC中圆周运动时产生涡街的条件非常苛刻,只有适当尺寸的高斯势以合适的速度运动时,尾流中周期性脱落的具有相同旋量的涡旋对稳定的分布在内外两个圆环上,形成BvK涡街.在实验参数下进行系统数值计算得到了不同偶极相互作用时的相图,讨论了偶极相互作用以及高斯势速度和尺寸对不同激发模式的影响.通过高斯势所受拖拽力的计算,分析了不同激发的物理学机制.

弱相互作用玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体中涡旋动力学与量子混沌轨道简

利用变分法和数值模拟方法,我们分别从解析上和数值上研究了弱相互作用玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体中不同涡旋蔟的动力学性质.借助玻姆量子力学中的方法,我们定义了相应量子流体中的量子轨道,并且研究了由于不同涡旋结构的存在而导致量子轨道出现混沌的性质.当存在一单涡旋,我们发现混沌轨道出现与否和涡旋轨道的形状紧密相关.此外,玻色凝聚体原子中的两体相互作用对各向异性谐振子势下涡旋对出现时量子轨道混沌的发生也具有重要的作用.因为这一非线性相互作用会破坏相应速度场的时间周期性.最后,在涡旋极子情形下,我们还讨论了由于涡旋相互激发或淹没的作用而导致规则岛膨胀的性质.这些规则区域镶嵌在一定的混沌海中.

低维螺旋磁体纳米条带中磁场驱动的磁结构演变规律

利用蒙特卡洛方法研究了低维螺旋磁体纳米条带中磁场驱动的磁结构演变规律,以及偶极相互作用对螺旋磁体纳米条带中磁结构的影响.研究表明,螺旋磁体纳米条带中的自旋结构由自旋的面内取向平行或垂直于边界的边缘态和中间聚集态两部分构成.在一定范围内增加外磁场,条带边缘平行于边界的自旋排列将增多,最终将在条带外围形成大的磁涡旋环,该涡旋环十分稳定,即使在很强的外磁场下仍然存在.处于条带中间的聚集态随着外磁场的增大,从磁螺旋态逐步过渡到Skyrmions态,最终形成铁磁态.Skyrmions的排列状况与条带尺寸密切相关.此外,偶极相互作用对磁矩平行于边界且首尾顺次连接的排列起积极作用,在无外磁场作用下,随着偶极相互作用的增大,体系终将形成涡旋态.     

Controlling the Bénard-von Kármán instability in the wake of a cylinder by driving the pressure at the front stagnation point

We report an experimental method for inhibiting vortex shedding generated by the Bénard von Kármán instability (BvK) in the wake of a cylinder. We show that monitoring the pressure at the front stagnation point of a circular cylinder can completely suppress the Bénard-von Kármán instability for Reynolds numbers in the range 48.5<Re<150. We then study some properties of the BvK instability in the presence of suction at the front stagnation point and mention that this method can be used to generate well-controlled localized vortical structures in the form of vortex pairs.

Numerical simulation and experiments of a control method to suppress the Bénard von Kármán instability

We report both two-dimensional numerical simulations and experimental results that confirm the robustness of a new method for inhibiting vortex shedding associated to the Bénard-von Kármán (BvK) instability in the wake of a cylinder. Using the SIMPLER algorithm on a 2D channel, we solve the Navier-Stokes equations and we show that pressure suction at the front stagnation point of a circular cylinder, modelled here through a point sink located at the front stagnation point, can completely suppress the Bénard-von Kármán instability for super-critical Reynolds numbers. Comparison with recent experimental results are in close agreement. Received 7 March 2002 / Received in final form 12 September 2002 Published online 29 November 2002

Self-interaction in the von Kármán cosmic string street configuration

We study the problem of electromagnetic self-interaction of line sources in the presence of an array of parallel cosmic strings akin to the von Kármán vortex street configuration. Keeping in mind possible applications in condensed matter physics we consider also a mixed array where both deficit angle and excess angle cosmic strings appear. We obtain explicit expressions for both the electric and magnetic self-energies for the cases studied and demonstrate that these results reproduce the known self-energies in the single-string limit.     

Role of surface modes in vortex formation in BEC

We study the role of surface modes in the process of vortex formation in harmonically trapped BEC. It is shown that the vortex nucleation and penetration to the inner part of the cloud occur at velocities slightly exceeding the surface mode critical velocity. Surface modes induce ripples of the order parameter; these ripples are then transformed into vortex-antivortex pairs. After this, vortices move to the inner part of the cloud, whereas antivortices go in the opposite direction     

Vortex flow patterns of a heaving foil

It is known that an oscillating foil can produce a thrust force through the generation of a reverse Kármán vortex street and this can be expected to be a new highly effective propulsion system. A heaving foil model was made and it was operated within a circulating water channel. The wake formation behind the heaving foil was visualized using PIV method and a dynamic thrust force was measured using a mini 6-axis force sensor based on force and moment detectors. We examined various conditions such as reduced frequency and amplitude in NACA 0010 profile. The vortical patterns in the wake were classified according to the wake mode and force data.     

A Geometric Interpretation of the Second-Order Structure Function Arising in Turbulence

We primarily deal with homogeneous isotropic turbulence and use a closure model for the von Kármán-Howarth equation to study several geometric properties of turbulent fluid dynamics. We focus our attention on the application of Riemannian geometry methods in turbulence. Some advantage of this approach consists in exploring the specific form of a closure model for the von Kármán-Howarth equation that enables to equip a model manifold (a cylindrical domain in the correlation space) by a family of inner metrics (length scales of turbulent motion) which depends on time. We show that for large Reynolds numbers (in the limit of large Reynolds numbers) the radius of this manifold can be evaluated in terms of the second-order structure function and the correlation distance. This model manifold presents a shrinking cylindrical domain as time evolves. This result is derived by using a selfsimilar solution of the closure model for the von Kármán-Howarth equation under consideration. We demonstrate that in the new variables the selfsimilar solution obtained coincides with the element of Beltrami surface (or pseudo-sphere): a canonical surface of the constant sectional curvature equals − 1.      

Impact of nanoparticles and radiative heat flux in von Kármán swirling flow of Maxwell fluid

In this paper, the classical von Kármán swirling flow problem due to a rotating disk is modeled and studied for the rate type Maxwell nanofluid together with heat and mass transfer mechanisms. The model under consideration predicts the relaxation time characteristics. The novel aspects of thermophoresis and Brownian motion features due to nanoparticles are investigated by employing an innovative Buongiorno’s model. The analysis further explores the impact of linear Rosseland radiation on heat transfer characteristics. The concept of boundary layer approximations is utilized to formulate the basic governing equations of Maxwell fluid. The dimensionless form of a system of ordinary differential equations is obtained through similarity approach adopted by von Kármán. The system of equations is integrated numerically in domain [0,∞) by using bvp midrich scheme in Maple software. The obtained results intimate that higher rotation raises the radial and angular velocity components. The nano-particles concentration enhances with Brownian motion parameter. Further, the heat transfer rate at the disk surface diminishes with thermophoresis parameter. The achieved numerical computations of velocity profiles, friction coefficient and Nusselt number are matched in limiting cases with previously published literature and an outstanding agreement is observed.     

Nonlinear size-dependent longitudinal vibration of carbon nanotubes embedded in an elastic medium

In this paper, we study the longitudinal linear and nonlinear free vibration response of a single walled carbon nanotube (CNT) embedded in an elastic medium subjected to different boundary conditions. This formulation is based on a large deformation analysis in which the linear and nonlinear von Kármán strains and their gradient are included in the expression of the strain energy and the velocity and its gradient are taken into account in the expression of the kinetic energy. Therefore, static and kinetic length scales associated with both energies are introduced to model size effects. The governing motion equation along with the boundary conditions are derived using Hamilton's principle. Closed-form solutions for the linear free vibration problem of the embedded CNT rod are first obtained. Then, the nonlinear free vibration response is investigated for various values of length scales using the method of multiple scales.     

A turbulence characteristic length scale for compressible flows

The current RANS models are generally established and calibrated under incompressible condition and these kinds of models could succeed in predicting many features of incompressible flows. However, these models extended to the high-speed, compressible flows are always less accurate. In the paper, a compressible von Kármán length scale is proposed for compressible flows considering the variable densities. It contains no empirical coefficients and is based on phenomenological theory. In the turbulent kinetic equation, the extra unclosed terms induced by non-constant densities are treated as dissipation terms and the equation is closed algebraically via the introduction of the von Kármán length scale. The original and the proposed von Kármán length scale lead to two different kinds of SAS (scale adaption simulation) models, KDO (turbulence kinetic energy dependent only) and CKDO (compressible KDO), respectively. Compressible mixing layer with significant compressibility is studied within standard k–?, k–ω, KDO turbulence models and their compressible versions. The compressibility effects such as the reduced mixing layer thickness, growth rate and turbulence intensity can be reproduced by CKDO. The new length scale can improve the performances of the model in predicting the mixing layer thickness, stream-wise velocity and Reynolds shear stresses when the convective Mach number is 0.8. Besides, the new length scale also leads to accurate computed growth rate when the convective Mach number ranges from 0.1 to 1.0.
