Mean and turbulent velocity measurements of supersonic mixing layers

The behavior of supersonic mixing layers under three conditions has been examined by schlieren photography and laser Doppler velocimetry. In the schlieren photographs, some large-scale, repetitive patterns were observed within the mixing layer; however, these structures do not appear to dominate the mixing layer character under the present flow conditions. It was found that higher levels of secondary freestream turbulence did not increase the peak turbulence intensity observed within the mixing layer, but slightly increased the growth rate. Higher levels of freestream turbulence also reduced the axial distance required for development of the mean velocity. At higher convective Mach numbers, the mixing layer growth rate was found to be smaller than that of an incompressible mixing layer at the same velocity and freestream density ratio. The increase in convective Mach number also caused a decrease in the turbulence intensity ( _u/U).List of symbols a speed of sound - b total mixing layer thickness between U ₁ – 0.1 U and U ₂ + 0.1 U - f normalized third moment of u-velocity, f u³/(U)³ - g normalized triple product of u² , g u²/(U)³ - h normalized triple product of u ², h u ²/(U)³ - l _u axial distance for similarity in the mean velocity - l _u axial distance for similarity in the turbulence intensity - M Mach number - M _c convective Mach number (for ₁ = ₂), M _c (U ₁ – U ₂)/(a ₁ + a ₂) - P static pressure - r freestream velocity ratio, r U ₂/U ₁ - Re unit Reynolds number, Re U/ - s freestream density ratio, s ₂/₁ - T _t total temperature - u instantaneous streamwise velocity - u deviation of u-velocity, uu – U - U local mean streamwise velocity - U ₁ primary freestream velocity - U ₂ secondary freestream velocity - average of freestream velocities, (U ₁ + U ₂)/2 - U freestream velocity difference, U U ₁ – U ₂ - instantaneous transverse velocity - v deviation of -velocity, – V - V local mean transverse velocity - x streamwise coordinate - y transverse coordinate - y ₀ transverse location of the mixing layer centerline - ensemble average - ratio of specific heats - boundary layer thickness (y-location at 99.5% of free-stream velocity) - similarity coordinate, (y – y ₀)/b - compressible boundary layer momentum thickness - viscosity - density - standard deviation - dimensionless velocity, (U – U ₂)/U - 1 primary stream - 2 secondary stream A version of this paper was presented at the 11th Symposium on Turbulence, October 17–19, 1988, University of Missouri-Rolla     

Mixed convection flow in narrow vertical ducts

The mixed convection flow in a vertical duct is analysed under the assumption that , the ratio of the duct width to the length over which the wall is heated, is small. It is assumed that a fully developed Poiseuille flow has already been set up in the duct before heat from the wall causes this to be changed by the action of the buoyancy forces, as measured by a buoyancy parameter . An analytical solution is derived for the case when the Reynolds numberRe, based on the duct width, is of 0 (1). This is extended to the case whenRe is 0 (^–1) by numerical integrations of the governing equations for a range of values of representing both aiding and opposing flows. The limiting cases, || 1 andR=Re of 0 (1), andR and both large, with of 0 (R ^1/3) are considered further. Finally, the free convection limit, large with R of 0 (1), is discussed.

Mischkonvektion in engen senkrechten Rohren

Zusammenfassung Mischkonvektion in einem senkrechten Rohr wird unter der Voraussetzung untersucht, daß das Verhältnis der Rohrbreite zur Länge, über welche die Wand beheizt wird, klein ist. Es wird angenommen, daß sich bereits eine voll entwickelte Poiseuille-Strömung in dem Rohr eingestellt hat, bevor Antriebskräfte, gemessen mit dem Auftriebsparameter , aufgrund der Wandbeheizung die Strömung verändern. Es wird eine analytische Lösung für den Fall erhalten, daß die mit der Rohrbreite als charakteristische Länge gebildete Reynolds-ZahlRe konstant ist. Dies wird mittels einer numerischen Integration der wichtigsten Gleichungen auf den FallRe =f (^–1) sowohl für Gleich- als auch für Gegenstrom ausgedehnt. Weiterhin werden die beiden Grenzfälle betrachtet, wenn || 1 undR=Re konstant ist, sowieR und beide groß mit proportionalR ^1/3. Schließlich wird der Grenzfall der freien Konvektion, großes mit konstantem R, diskutiert.

Free convection heat transfer from an isothermal plate with arbitrary inclination

This paper presents a new formulation for the laminar free convection from an arbitrarily inclined isothermal plate to fluids of any Prandtl number between 0.001 and infinity. A novel inclination parameter is proposed such that all cases of the horizontal, inclined and vertical plates can be described by a single set of transformed equations. Moreover, the self-similar equations for the limiting cases of the horizontal and vertical plates are recovered from the transformed equations by setting=0 and=1, respectively. Heated upward-facing plates with positive and negative inclination angles are investigated. A very accurate correlation equation of the local Nusselt number is developed for arbitrary inclination angle and for 0.001 Pr .

The theory of a vibrating-rod densimeter

The paper presents a theory of a device for the accurate determination of the density of fluids over a wide range of thermodynamic states. The instrument is based upon the measurement of the characteristics of the resonance of a circular section tube, or rod, performing steady, transverse oscillations in the fluid. The theory developed accounts for the fluid motion external to the rod as well as the mechanical motion of the rod and is valid over a defined range of conditions.

Interaction of an oscillating vortex with a turbulent boundary layer

An oscillating vortex embedded within a turbulent boundary layer was generated experimentally by forcing a periodic lateral translation of a half-delta wing vortex generator. The objective of the experiment was to investigate the possibility that a natural oscillation, or meander, might be responsible for flattened vortex cores observed in previous work, which could also have contaminated previous turbulence measurements. The effect of this forced oscillation was characterized by comparison of measurements of the mean velocities and Reynolds stresses at two streamwise stations, for cases with and without forcing. The Reynolds stresses, especially w, were affected significantly by the forced oscillation, mainly through contributions from the individual production terms, provided the vortex was not too diffuse.List of Symbols a amplitude of forced vortex motion - f frequency of forced vortex generator motion - l vortex generator root chord - L flow length scale - R _Y , R _Z vortex core radial dimensions in vertical and spanwise directions, respectively - R_r vortex circulation Reynolds number R = / - u, v, w instantaneous velocity components in X, Y, Z directions - U, V, W mean velocities; shorthand notation for u, , w - X, Y, Z right-hand Cartesian streamwise, vertical, and spanwise coordinate directions - boundary-layer thickness - overall circulation - air kinematic viscosity - _x streamwise vorticity, _X = W/Y–V/d+t6Z - ( )₀ reference value (measured at X = 10 cm) - ( )c refers to vortex center - ( ) _max maximum value for a particular crossflow plane - ( ) (overbar) time average - ( ) (prime) fluctuating component, e.g., u=U+u     

Unsteady convective diffusion in a rotating parallel plate channel

The paper presents an exact analysis of the dispersion of a passive contaminant in a viscous fluid flowing in a parallel plate channel driven by a uniform pressure gradient. The channel rotates about an axis perpendicular to its walls with a uniform angular velocity resulting in a secondary flow. Using a generalized dispersion model which is valid for all time, we evaluate the longitudinal dispersion coefficientsK _i (i=1, 2, ...) as functions of time. It is shown thatK ₁=0 andK ₃,K ₄, ... decay rapidly in comparison withK ₂. ButK ₂ decreases with increasing (the dimensionless rotation parameter) for values of upto approximately =2.2. ThereafterK ₂ increases with further increase in and its value gets saturated for large values of (say, 500) and does not change any further with increase in . A physical explanation of this anomalous behaviour ofK ₂ is given.

The dynamic and steady shear properties of synovial fluid and of the components making up synovial fluid

Steady-shear and dynamic properties of a pooled sample of cattle synovial fluid have been measured using techniques developed for low viscosity fluids. The rheological properties of synovial fluid were found to exhibit typical viscoelastic behaviour and can be described by the Carreau type A rheological model. Typical model parameters for the fluid are given; these may be useful for the analysis of the complex flow problems of joint lubrication.The two major constituents, hyaluronic acid and proteins, have been successfully separated from the pooled sample of synovial fluid. The rheological properties of the hyaluronic acid and the recombined hyaluronic acid-protein solutions of both equal and half the concentration of the constituents found in the original synovial fluid have been measured. These properties, when compared to those of the original synovial fluid, show an undeniable contribution of proteins to the flow behaviour of synovial fluid in joints. The effect of protein was found to be more prominent in hyaluronic acid of half the normal concentration found in synovial fluid, thus providing a possible explanation for the differences in flow behaviour observed between synovial fluid from certain diseased joints compared to normal joint fluid.Nomenclature A Ratio of angular amplitude of torsion head to oscillation input signal - G Storage modulus - G Loss modulus - I Moment of inertia of upper platen — torsion head assembly - K Restoring constant of torsion bar - N ₁ First normal-stress difference - R Platen radius - S ⁽ⁱ⁾ Geometric factor in the dynamic property analysis - t ₁ Characteristic time parameter of the Carreau model - X, Y Carreau model parameters - Z () Reimann Zeta function of - Carreau model parameter - Shear rate - Apparent steady-shear viscosity - ^* Complex dynamic viscosity - Dynamic viscosity - Imaginary part of the complex dynamic viscosity - ₀ Zero-shear viscosity - ₀ Cone angle - Carreau model characteristic time - Density of fluid - Shear stress - Phase difference between torsion head and oscillation input signals - ₀ Zero-shear rate first normal-stress coefficient - Oscillatory frequency     

Evaluation of the dynamic-mechanical properties of solids from a cooperative model for stress relaxation

For many solid materials the stress relaxation process obeys the universal relationF = – (d/d lnt)_max = (0.1 ± 0.01) ( ₀ — _i ), regardless of the structure of the material. Here denotes the stress,t the time, ₀ the initial stress of the experiment and _i the internal stress. A cooperative model accounting for the similarity in relaxation behaviour between different materials was developed earlier. Since this model has a spectral character, the concepts of linear viscoelasticity are used here to evaluate the corresponding prediction of the dynamic mechanical properties, i.e. the frequency dependence of the storageE () and lossE () moduli. Useful numerical approximations ofE () andE () are also evaluated. It is noted that the universal relation in stress relaxation had a counterpart in the frequency dependence ofE (). The theoretical prediction of the loss factor for high-density polyethylene is compared with experimental results. The agreement is good.     

The effect of non-steady wall shear on pressure surges in conduits carrying viscous liquids

Summary A study is made of the attenuation of pressure surges in a two-dimension a channel carrying a viscous liquid when a valve at the downstream end is suddenly closed. The analysis differs from previous work in this area by taking into account the transient nature of the wall shear, which in the past has been assumed as equivalent to that existing in steady flow. For large values of the frictional resistance parameter the transient wall shear analysis results in less attenuation than given by the steady wall shear assumption.Nomenclature c /, ft/sec - e base of natural logarithms - F(x, y) integration function, equation (38) - (x) mean value of F(x, y) - g local acceleration of gravity, ft/sec² - h width of conduit, ft - k (2m–1)^{2 2} L/h ² c, equation (35) - k* 12L/h ² c, frictional resistance parameter, equation (46) - L length of conduit, ft - m positive integer - n positive integer - p pressure, lb/ft² - p ₀ constant pressure at inlet of conduit, lb/ft² - P pressure plus elevation head, p+gz, equation (4) - mean value of P over the conduit width h - P ₀ p ₀+gz ₀, lbs/ft² - R frictional resistance coefficient for steady state wall shear, lb sec/ft⁴ - s positive integer; also, condensation, equation (6) - t time, sec - t ct/L, dimensionless time - u x component of fluid velocity, ft/sec - u _m mean velocity in conduit, equation (12), ft/sec - u ₀(y) velocity profile in Poiseuille flow, equation (19), ft/sec - transformed velocity - U initial mean velocity in conduit - x distance along conduit, measured from valve (fig. 1), ft - x x/L, dimensionless distance - y distance normal to conduit wall (fig. 1), ft - y y/h, equation (25) - z elevation, measured from arbitrary datum, ft - z ₀ elevation of constant pressure source, ft - isothermal bulk compression modulus, lbs/ft² - _n , equation (37) - _n (2n–1)/2, equation (36) - viscosity, slugs/ft sec - / = kinematic viscosity, ft²/sec - density of fluid, slugs/ft³ - ₀ density of undisturbed fluid, slugs/ft³ - ø angle between conduit and vertical (fig. 1) The research upon which this paper is based was supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

Development of a full-field planar Mie scattering technique for evaluating swirling mixers

A full-field planar optical diagnostic technique for studying mixing in swirling flows is described. Results were obtained using this technique to provide planar mixing information by seeding a simulated fuel stream with aluminum oxide particles, then inferring concentration from Mie scattering intensity distributions. This facility and measurement technique are unique for several reasons. First, they allow spatial variations in laser sheet energy to be corrected for on a shot-to-shot basis. Second, they allow experiments to be performed for swirlers with practical fuel and oxidizer flow rates, i.e. on the order of 150 g/s (0.33 lbm/s). Finally, they allow full size swirler models to be evaluated, with the entire exit plane imaged simultaneously. Representative results are presented as false color images of the planar mixing fields. These images allow rapid assessment of the mixing process and its changes with variations in operating conditions or swirler geometry.List of Symbols C seed particle concentration, m^–3 - mean component of seed particle concentration, m^–3 - C fluctuating component of seed particle concentration, m^–3 - C ^* time averaged ratio of rms particle concentration fluctuations to average particle concentration, dimensionless - d _p particle diameter, m - I laser energy after passing through the flow, J/m² - mean laser energy, J/m² - I ₀ laser energy before passing through the flow, J/m² - L _v eddy length scale, m - l laser beam path length, m - U _v eddy velocity scale, m/s - V diode voltage reading after passing through the flow, V - mean diode voltage, V - V ₀ diode voltage reading before passing through the flow, V - absorptivity, m² - _rel relative equivalence ratio, dimensionless - fluid viscosity, Ns - _p particle density, kg/m³ - Stokes number= _p / _f , dimensionless - _f flow time scale, s - _p particle response time, s     

Injection moulding of thermoplastics: Freezing of variable-viscosity fluids.

The injection moulding of thermoplastics involves, during mould filling, flows of hot polymer melts into mould networks, the walls of which are so cold that frozen layers form on them. An analytical study of such flows is presented here for the case when the Graetz and Nahme numbers are large and the Pearson number is small. Thus the flows are developing and temperature differences due to heat generation by viscous dissipation are sufficiently large to cause significant variations in viscosity (but the difference between the entry temperature of the polymer to a specific part of the mould network and the melting temperature of the polymer is not).

On laminar flow through a uniformly porous pipe

Numerous investigations ([1] and [4–9]) have been made of laminar flow in a uniformly porous circular pipe with constant suction or injection applied at the wall. The object of this paper is to give a complete analysis of the numerical and theoretical solutions of this problem. It is shown that two solutions exist for all values of injection as well as the dual solutions for suction which had been noted by previous investigators. Analytical solutions are derived for large suction and injection; for large suction a viscous layer occurs at the wall while for large injection one solution has a viscous layer at the centre of the channel and the other has no viscous layer anywhere. Approximate analytic solutions are also given for small values of suction and injection.

Flow in vicinity of blunt body stagnation point in diverging hypersonic stream

In the hypersonic thin shock layer approximation for a small ratio k of the densities before and after the normal shock wave the solution of [1] for the vicinity of the stagnation point of a smooth blunt body is extended to the case of nonuniform outer flow. It is shown that the effect of this nonuniformity can be taken into account with the aid of the effective shock wave radius of curvature R_*, whose introduction makes it possible to reduce to universal relations the data for different nonuniform outer flows with practically the same similarity criterion k.

Reservoir transport equations by compositional approach

The objective of this paper is to present an overview of the fundamental equations governing transport phenomena in compressible reservoirs. A general mathematical model is presented for important thermo-mechanical processes operative in a reservoir. Such a formulation includes equations governing multiphase fluid (gas-water-hydrocarbon) flow, energy transport, and reservoir skeleton deformation. The model allows phase changes due to gas solubility. Furthermore, Terzaghi's concept of effective stress and stress-strain relations are incorporated into the general model. The functional relations among various model parameters which cause the nonlinearity of the system of equations are explained within the context of reservoir engineering principles. Simplified equations and appropriate boundary conditions have also been presented for various cases. It has been demonstrated that various well-known equations such as Jacob, Terzaghi, Buckley-Leverett, Richards, solute transport, black-oil, and Biot equations are simplifications of the compositional model.Notation List B reservoir thickness - B formation volume factor of phase - Cⁱ mass of component i dissolved per total volume of solution - C ⁱ mass fraction of component i in phase - C heat capacity of phase at constant volume - C_p heat capacity of phase at constant pressure - D ⁱ hydrodynamic dispersion coefficient of component i in phase - D_MTf thermal liquid diffusivity for fluid f - F = F(x, y, z, t) defines the boundary surface - f_p fractional flow of phase - g gravitational acceleration - H_p enthalpy per unit mass of phase - J_p volumetric flux of phase - k_rf relative permeability to fluid f - k₀ absolute permeability of the medium - M_p ⁱ mass of component i in phase - n porosity - N rate of accretion - P_f pressure in fluid f - p_ca capillary pressure between phases and =p-p - Rⁱ rate of mass transfer of component i from phase to phase - Rⁱ _source source rate of component i within phase - S saturation of phase - s gas solubility - T temperature - t time - U displacement vector - u velocity in the x-direction - v velocity in the y-direction - V volume of phase - V_s velocity of soil solids - W_i body force in coordinate direction i - x horizontal coordinate - z vertical coordinate Greek Letters _p volumetric coefficient of compressibility - _T volumetric coefficient of thermal expansion - _ij Kronecker delta - volumetric strain - _m thermal conductivity of the whole matrix - internal energy per unit mass of phase - gf suction head - density of phase - _ij tensor of total stresses - _ij tensor of effective stresses - volumetric content of phase - f viscosity of fluid f     

Measurement of the relaxation time in Darcy flow

The inertia of a liquid flowing through a porous medium is normally ignored, but if the acceleration is great, it may be important. The relaxation time, defined so that it alone accounts for the inertia, has been determined experimentally with a simple oscillator. A U-Tube is provided with a porous plug and filled with a liquid. During pendulation of the liquid, the frequency and the damping define the relaxation time. The measured value of the relaxation time is about 10 times the theoretical estimate derived from Navier-Stokes equation.Symbols E modulus of elasticity - E _D dissipated energy - E _k kinetic energy - g acceleration of gravity - G pressure gradient - h height - K ₀ permeability - L length of porous plug - n porosity - P dissipated power - pressure - R half the tube length - R _c radius of the tube bend - r radial coordinate - r _o radius of the tube - s coordinate along a streamline in the tube - t time - v flux per unit area - it relaxation time - , auxiliary variables - , v dynamic and kinematic viscosity - , velocity potential for inviscid flow and gravity potential - dissipation function - displacement of the liquid - , _o frequency of damped and undamped oscillations     

An experimental study on the two-dimensional opposed wall jet in a turbulent boundary layer: Change in the flow pattern with velocity ratio

Results of the measurement of flow properties in a two-dimensional turbulent wall jet which is injected into the turbulent boundary layer in the direction opposite to that of the boundary layer flow are presented by varying the ratio of the jet issuing velocity to the mainstream velocity . This flow includes the flow separation and the recirculating flow, and so it requires the magnitude and direction of instantaneous velocity be measured. In the present work, a tandem hot-wire probe is manufactured and its characteristics are examined experimentally. With the use of this probe the change in the penetration length of the jet with the velocity ratio is investigated. It is clarified that two regimes of flow patterns exist: in the low velocity ratio the penetration length of the jet changes little with , and in the high velocity ratio it goes far from the nozzle with increasing . Streamlines, turbulence intensity contours and static pressure contours are presented in the two typical velocity ratios corresponding to each of two flow patterns, and they are compared.List of symbols b ₀ nozzle width (Fig. 1) - , e mean and fluctuating output voltages of hot-wire anemometer - p, p mean static pressure, p = p – p _o - p ₀ static pressure in undisturbed mainstream - p _w , p _w mean wall pressure, p _w = p _w – p _o - U ₀ mainstream velocity - U _j jet velocity at the nozzle exit - , u mean and fluctuating velocity components in x-direction - u _e effective cooling velocity - x distance along the wall from nozzle exit - x _pmax, x _pmin positions where the wall pressure has maximum and minimum values respectively - x _s penetration length of jet - y distance from the wall - forward flow fraction - ₁, ₂ yaw and pitch angles of flow direction (Fig. 4) - velocity ratio, = U _j /U _o - density of the fluid - nondimensional stream function The authors wish to express their appreciation to Prof. Toshio Tanaka of Gifu University for his advice in the course of the experiment.

Estimate of the transient conduction of heat in materials with linear thermal properties based on the solution for constant properties

A method of analysis is described which yields quasianalytical solutions for one and multidimensional unsteady heat conduction problems with linearly dependent thermal properties, such as thermal conductivity and volumetric specific heat. The method accomodates rather general thermal boundary conditions including arbitrary variations in surface temperature or in surface heat flux or a convective exchange with a fluid having even varying temperature. Once the solution for the identical problem but with constant properties has been developed, its practical realization is rather direct, being facilitated by a reduced number of iterations. The four applied examples given in this work show that a wide variety of nonlinear heat conduction problems can be tackled by this procedure without much difficulty. These simple solutions compare favorably with more laborious results reported in the archival heat transfer literature.

Berechnung nichtstationärer Wärmeleitvorgänge mit linear temperaturabhängigen Stoffwerten aus der Lösung für konstante Stoffwerte

Zusammenfassung Es werden quasi-analytische Lösungen für ein- und mehrdimensionale nichtstationäre Wärmeleitprobleme mit linear temperaturabhängigen Stoffwerten, wie Wärmeleitfähigkeit und volumetrische Wärmekapazität, mitgeteilt. Die Methode gilt für recht allgemeine Randbedingungen wie beliebige Veränderungen der Oberflächentemperatur, der Wärmestromdichte oder auch konvektiven Wärmeaustausch mit veränderlicher Fluidtemperatur. Ist die Lösung für das identische Problem mit konstanten Stoffwerten bekannt, kann die Methode direkt mit einer begrenzten Zahl von Iterationen angewandt werden. Die vier hier mitgeteilten Beispiele zeigen, daß eine große Zahl nichtlinearer Wärmeleitprobleme auf diese Weise ohne Schwierigkeit angepackt werden können. Die einfachen Lösungen stimmen befriedigend mit komplizierteren Ergebnissen aus der Literatur überein.

Shearing stresses in shafts with deep longitudinal grooves

Summary The stress functions(, y) of shafts with deep longitudinal grooves may be represented by(, y) =F(x, y) –(, y) whereF(x, y) is the stress function of a cylindrical shaft without grooves and(, y) denotes the potential function of the source-sink system. It is shown that the shearing stresses in rotors of screw-compressors may be obtained in this way.
