Heat Transfer on the Surface on a Spherically Blunted Cone Exposed to a Supersonic Spatial Flow with Injection of a Coolant Gas

The heattransfer processes in a supersonic spatial flow around a spherically blunted cone with allowance for heat overflow along the longitudinal and circumferential coordinates and injection of a coolant gas are studied numerically. The prospects of using highly heatconducting materials and injection of a coolant gas for reduction of the maximum temperatures at the body surface are demonstrated. The solutions of the direct and inverse problems in one, two, and threedimensional formulations for different shell materials are compared. The error of the thinwall method in determining the heat flux on the heatloaded boundary of the body is estimated.     

Effect of Free‐Stream Turbulence on the Flow Structure near a Wedge and the Windward Side of an Airfoil

The flow structure behind wire grids is studied for flows with a low subsonic velocity, and the effect of grids on the boundarylayer flow structure is considered. It is shown that the meanvelocity inhomogeneity induced by the grid does not disappear until a distance of 925 calibers downstream of the grid is reached. Liquidcrystal thermography combined with hotwire measurements made it possible to find the source of steady largescale streamwise vortex structures in the boundary layer on a wedge and on an airfoil and to determine the parameters of these structures.     

Unsteady Radiative–Convective Heat Transfer in a Flow Emitting‐Absorbing and Scattering Medium around an Ablating Plate

A conjugate problem of radiative–convective heat transfer in a turbulent hightemperature gasdisperse flow around a thermally thin ablating plate is considered. The plate experiences intense radiative heating by an external source, which is a blackbody. The temperature fields and the distributions of heat fluxes along the plate under unsteady conditions are calculated. The data gained make it possible to examine the effect of the Stark number and phasetransition heat in the plate material on the time evolution of the thermal state of the boundarylayer medium and the plate itself being heated by a hightemperature radiation source.     

Calculation of Ionization and Radiative Characteristics of Air in the Shock Layer on the Basis of Various Models of Vibration–Dissociation Interaction

Models of vibrationdissociation interaction are verified on the basis of results of numerical simulation of nonequilibrium air flow in the shock layer near vehicles flying in the atmosphere and data of inflight and windtunnel experiments on measurement of ionization and radiative characteristics of the shock layer.     

Analytical Modeling of Nonaqueous Phase Liquid Dissolution with Green's Functions

Equilibrium and bicontinuum nonequilibrium formulations of the advection–dispersion equation (ADE) have been widely used to describe subsurface solute transport. The Green's Function Method (GFM) is particularly attractive to solve the ADE because of its flexibility to deal with arbitrary initial and boundary conditions, and its relative simplicity to formulate solutions for multidimensional problems. The Green's functions that are presented can be used for a wide range of problems involving equilibrium and nonequilibrium transport in semiinfinite and infinite media. The GFM is applied to analytically model multidimensional transport from persistent solute sources typical of nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs). Specific solutions are derived for transport from a rectangular source (parallel to the flow direction) of persistent contamination using first, second, or thirdtype boundary or source input conditions. Away from the source, the first and thirdtype condition cannot be expected to represent the exact surface condition. The secondtype condition has the disadvantage that the diffusive flux from the source needs to be specified a priori. Near the source, the thirdtype condition appears most suitable to model NAPL dissolution into the medium. The solute flux from the pool, and hence the concentration in the medium, depends strongly on the mass transfer coefficient. For all conditions, the concentration profiles indicate that nonequilibrium conditions tend to reduce the maximum solute concentration and the total amount of solute that enters the porous medium from the source. On the other hand, during nonequilibrium transport the solute may spread over a larger area of the medium compared to equilibrium transport.     

Asymptotic Modeling of Nonlinear Wave Processes in Shock‐Loaded Elastoplastic Materials

Nonlinear wave processes in shockloaded elastoplastic materials are modeled. A comparison of the results obtained with experimental data and numerical solutions of exact systems of dynamic equations shows that the model equations proposed qualitatively describe the stressdistribution evolution in both the elasticflow and plasticflow regions and can be used to solve one and twodimensional problems of pulsed deformation and fracture of elastoplastic media.     

Interaction of Large‐Scale and Small‐Scale Oscillations During Separation of a Laminar Boundary Layer

The mutual influence of shortwave oscillations (instability waves of the separated boundary layer) and longwave disturbances at the frequency of shedding of periodic largescale vortices is experimentally studied in flow separation behind a step. The possibility of controlling the process of vortex formation by exciting amplifying disturbances in the shear layer is demonstrated.     

Effect of Dynamic Prehistory on Aerodynamics of a Laminar Separated Flow in a Channel Behind a Rectangular Backward‐Facing Step

The effect of dynamic prehistory of the flow and the channelexpansion ratio on aerodynamics of a steady separated laminar flow behind a rectangular backwardfacing step located in a planeparallel channel is numerically studied. It is shown that the boundary layer upstream of the flow separation exerts a strong effect on flow characteristics behind the step. A decrease in the boundarylayer thickness in the cross section of the step leads to a decrease in the separationregion length, and an increase in the channelexpansion ratio with a fixed initial boundarylayer thickness and Reynolds number leads to an increase in the separationregion length.     

Effect of Porous Coatings on Stability of Hypersonic Boundary Layers

The influence of ultrasoundabsorbing coatings on stability of hypersonic boundary layers is considered. Two types of coatings were used in experiments: feltmetal with a random porous microstructure and a sheet perforated by blind cylindrical microchannels. The experiments were performed in a wind tunnel at a Mach number M = 5.95 on sharp cones with a 7° apex halfangle. Evolution of natural disturbances and artificially induced wave packets in the boundary layer was studied with the help of hotwire anemometry. Spatial characteristics of artificial disturbances were obtained. It is demonstrated that such coatings exert a stabilizing effect on secondmode disturbances.     

Mixing Layer on the Lee Side of an Obstacle

Twolayer miscible flow above an uneven bottom is considered. A mathematical model in the shallowwater approximation is constructed for the development of a turbulent layer between homogeneous layers of different density in a twolayer channel flow over a local obstacle. The influence of the mixing process on the formation of an initial segment of the steadystate densitystratified flow on the leeward side of the obstacle is studied.     

Thermal stability of a disturbed fluid flow

Stability of periodic solutions of a nonselfsimilar nonlinear problem is studied. The problem describes the thermal state of an axial fluid flow with continuously distributed sources of heat. The flow experiences the action of external lowamplitude perturbations changing in time in accordance with known periodic laws. The spectral problem is solved by the method of parametrix, and the critical conditions of the thermal explosion are determined in the linear approximation. Stability of the periodic solution at the critical point is evaluated using the known theorem of factorization, which takes into account the effect of nonlinear terms of the heatbalance equation. The calculation results show that the periodic solution is stable if the total action of external periodic perturbations at the critical point is directed to reduction of the fluidflow temperature.     

Viscous Film Flow down Corrugated Surfaces

A theoretical analysis of a downward viscous film flow on corrugated surfaces is reported. The study is based on Navier–Stokes equations (for one and twodimensional surfaces) and on an integral model (for a threedimensional surface with double corrugation). The calculations were carried out in a wide range of Reynolds numbers and geometric characteristics of the surface with due allowance for the surfacetension force. The shape of the free surface of the liquid film and other characteristics of the flow are calculated. It is shown that, in the case of a onedimensional surface, there exists a range of parameters where the flow is predominantly governed by surfacetension forces; this flow can be adequately treated with the integral approach. In this range of parameters, on the surface with double corrugation, the average quantities of the downward flow in wide corrugation valleys are determined by the finetexture geometry.     

Stability, Paths, and Dynamic bending of a Blunt Body of Revolution Penetrating into an Elastoplastic Medium

The deep penetration of a thin body with a blunt nose and rear into a lowstrength medium is explored. The motion of the body is described by a system of autonomous integrodifferential equations using the physical model of a separated asymmetric flow over the body and the localinteraction method. An analytical calculation of the Lyapunov stability boundary for straightline motion is performed for bodies with a parabolic meridian. The dependences of the dynamic stability of the body on various parameters are studied numerically. Curved motion paths are constructed in the region of instability, and the classification of paths proposed in previous studies of the motion of pointed bodies is confirmed. It is shown that an reverse ejection is possible when a blunt impactor enters a semiinfinite target. It is established that there is a fundamental possibility of attaining a path close to a specified one and that there is a weak dependence of motion characteristics with a developed separation on the separation angle. Examples are given of calculations of the evolution of the lateral load, the transverse force and moment, and the strength margin of the body using the theory of dynamic bending of a nonuniform rod.     

Stationary Simple Waves on a Barotropic Liquid Shear Flow

Stationary threedimensional flows of a barotropic liquid in a gravity field are considered. In the shallowwater approximation, the Euler equations are transformed into a system of integrodifferential equations by the EulerLagrange change of coordinates. A system of simplewave equations is obtained, for which the theorem of existence of a solution attached to a given shear flow is proved. As an example, a particular solution analogous to the solution of the problem of a gas flow around a convex angle is given.     

Dispersion of Dynamically Passive Impurities in Non‐One‐Dimensional Liquid Flow

Equations that describe dispersion of a substance in a nononedimensional incompressible liquid flow through a plane channel are derived. The model under consideration extends the traditional Taylor model to the case where sources of the substance are present in the flow and relaxation transfer processes are taken into account. Additional conditions for the dispersion equations are obtained. The relation between the proposed model and the Taylor model is analyzed. Based on the equations obtained, the mass transfer between circulation regions in the flow is calculated and a system of cellularmodel equations for stagnant cavities is constructed.

This paper considers the elimination of asphalt–paraffin plugs in wellbore equipment using a highfrequency radiation source which is energized and deenergized periodically. The dynamics of melting of plugs is analyzed numerically. The time of removal of plugs is determined with variation in the offduty ratio of the operating cycle of the highfrequency oscillator and the time of its continuous operation in a cycle.     

Using a hot‐wire anemometer for measurement of characteristics of a random acoustic field in compressible flows

The problem of interpretation of hotwire measurements of acoustic fields in compressible flows is considered. Relations between massflow and totaltemperature fluctuations registered by a hotwire anemometer and pressure and velocity fluctuations are found. The relations obtained are applicable in the general case for measurement of resultant acoustic fluctuations at some point of the flow, which are generated by arbitrary distributed sources of sound with priorunknown properties.
