Surface Waves on a Cavity in a Semiinfinite Elastic Medium

Biot [5] examined the propagation of waves along the free surface of a cylindrical cavity in an elastic body of infinite extent and obtained a dispersion relation for the velocity of this wave in terms of the ratio of the wavelength to the cavity diameter. This paper contains solutions for waves in a semiinfinite elastic medium with a cylindrical cavity with axially symmetric harmonic loading of the plane surface. The solutions are expressed in terms of Lame potentials which are represented by combinations of integrals containing trigonometric kernels and kernels of Weber transforms. A solution is obtained for volume waves and Biot waves. The relative velocity and relative length of surface waves are studied as functions of the loading frequency.     

Transverse Oscillations of a Cylindrical Vessel with a Two-Layer Liquid Separated by an Elastic Membrane

A solution is given for the transverse oscillations, under elastic forces, of a cylindrical vessel containing an ideal two-layer liquid with elastic membranes at the free and inner surfaces of the stratified liquid. The following limiting cases for the elastic membrane are examined: it lies only at the free surface of a uniform and two-layer liquid; it separates a two-layer liquid; it exists at both the free and the inner surfaces of a two-layer liquid. The numerically calculated dependences of the first eigenfrequency on the tension of the membrane, liquid densities, and filling depth are analyzed.     

The action of an unsteady external load on a circular elastic plate floating on shallow water

A solution of the transient problem of the behaviour of a circular elastic plate floating on the free surface of a liquid under the action of an external load is constructed. It is assumed that the liquid is ideal and incompressible and that its depth is small compared with the radius of the plate. The compatible motion of the plate and the liquid is treated within the framework of linear theory. The flow of the liquid is assumed to be irrotational. The behaviour of the plate under different loads is investigated and it is shown that the bounded dimensions of the elastic plate have a substantial effect on its unsteady behaviour.     

Frequencies of Free Oscillations of a Truncated Spherical Sector Covered with a Thin Elastic Spherical Shell

An analytic solution of the problem concerning the frequencies and shapes of free axially symmetric oscillations of a truncated spherical sector filled with an ideal compressible fluid is constructed. A spherical wall of smaller radius and the radial wall of the sector are absolutely rigid. A thin elastic shell whose edge is clamped in the radial wall is located on a spherical boundary of larger radius. The outer surface of the shell borders vacuum. The phenomenon of an anomalous decrease in the fundamental frequency as the spherical walls approach each other is discovered. An approximate formula for determination of the lowest fundamental frequencies, which are approximately proportional to the square root of the difference of the radii of spherical walls for small values of this difference, is constructed and tested numerically.

An approximate method of calculating the oscillations of a liquid in inclined elastic cavities and channels

Small oscillations of an ideal incompressible liquid, which partially fills an inclined elastic container (a mobile cavity or channel) of arbitrary form and having a longitudinal plane of symmetry, are considered. The integral condition of continuity of the liquid is obtained by integrating the differential condition of incompressibility and exact satisfaction of the kinematic boundary conditions on the wetted side walls. Using this equation, systems of coordinate functions are constructed which represent the kinematically possible displacements of the liquid, for calculating the oscillations by the Ritz method and the finite-element method. The basic unknown functions, which describe the displacements of the liquid in cross-sections, are approximated by power functions and Legendre functions. Transverse layers of liquid, within the limits of the thickness of which a linear approximation for the unknown functions can be used, are considered as finite elements.     

Dynamics of a spherical cavity under various conditions

We study the influence of the initial radius of the cavity, the time of energy input, and the distance to a solid wall on the parameters of a spherical cavity during electrical discharge in a liquid. The motion of the liquid was studied in gas-dynamic formulation. The solution is given by various finite-difference methods. To compute prolonged processes in large volumes we developed special adaptable mobile grids whose step was determined by the current radius of the cavity and the distance from the cell to the center. The results of the computation are in good agreement with experimental data obtained by other authors. Four figures. Bibliography: 7 titles.

Weak oscillations of a gas bubble in a spherical volume of compressible liquid

The following spherically symmetric problem is considered: a single gas bubble at the centre of a spherical flask filled with a compressible liquid is oscillating in response to forced radial excitation of the flask walls. In the long-wave approximation at low Mach numbers, one obtains a system of differential-difference equations generalizing the Rayleigh-Lamb-Plesseth equation. This system takes into account the compressibility of the liquid and is suitable for describing both free and forced oscillations of the bubble. It includes an ordinary differential equation analogous to the Herring-Flinn-Gilmore equation describing the evolution of the bubble radius, and a delay equation relating the pressure at the flask walls to the variation of the bubble radius. The solutions of this system of differential-difference equations are analysed in the linear approximation and numerical analysis is used to study various modes of weak but non-linear oscillations of the bubble, for different laws governing the variation of the pressure or velocity of the liquid at the flask wall. These solutions are compared with numerical solutions of the complete system of partial differential equations for the radial motion of the compressible liquid around the bubble.     

Mathematical and physical simulation of the interaction between a gas jet and a liquid free surface

In this work a two phase 3D mathematical model was developed using the volume of fluid (VOF) algorithm, which is able to accurately describe the cavity geometry and size as well as the liquid flow patterns created when a gas jet that impinges on a liquid free surface. These phenomena are commonly found in steelmaking operations such as in the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) and the Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) where oxygen jets impinge on a steel bath and they control heat, momentum and mass transfer. The model was successfully validated with measurements made on a physical model through velocity fields obtained by Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and high speed camera images of the cavity. Agreement between model predictions and experimental measurements is excellent in both x-velocity component of the liquid and cavity sizes. The cavity formed in the liquid by the impinging jet depends on a force balance at the free surface where the inertial force of the jet governs this phenomena, while the liquid circulation depends on also the jet inertial force of the jet, but its angle plays an important role, being the lowest angle the best choice to shear the bath and promote stronger circulation and better mixing in the liquid.     

Free oscilations of a multilayer stratified liquid separated by elastic membranes

Solutions are obtained for the eigenmodes of a multilayer ideal stratified liquid separated by elastic membranes. The limiting cases of zero stress on the membrane and large filling depths are studied. The cases of three- and two-layer stratified liquids are examined in detail. The effect of a load on the first eigenmode is studied as a function of the membrane stress, the density of the liquid, and the filling depth. Donetsk State University.

Resonance frequencies of a cavity containing a compressible viscous fluid

The aim of this paper is to study the resonance spectrum of a cavity containing a compressible viscous fluid. This system admits a discrete infinite sequence of eigenvalues whose real parts are negative, which is interpreted as the damping effect introduced by viscosity. Only a finite number of them have non-zero imaginary parts and this number depends on viscosity; a simple criterion is given for their position in the complex plane. The case of a cavity containing an elastic mechanical system immersed in the fluid is also examined; from a qualitative point of view, the nature of the resonance spectrum remains unchanged.     

The effect of high-frequency vibration on the onset of Marangoni convection in a horizontal liquid layer

The effect of high-frequency translational harmonic vibrations on the onset of thermocapillary convection in a horizontal liquid layer, bounded above by a free surface and below by a solid wall, is investigated by averaging the convection equations. It is shown that longitudinal vibrations have no effect on convective instability. If the direction of the vibration contains a transverse component, and the action of the vibration has a stabilizing effect: the free boundary of a uniform liquid is smoothed and thermal convection of a non-uniform liquid may be suppressed. The maximum stabilizing effect is obtained for vertical vibrations.     

Attenuation of normal waves in a cavity with a liquid in the presence of an elastic shell

The attenuation of normal waves is investigated in a cylindrical cavity of an unbounded viscoelastic medium, in which there is a thin elastic shell filled with a viscous compressible liquid. It is assumed that the absorption of waves in a liquid or solid is small. The effect of the shell thickness on the value of the absorption coefficient of the normal waves is studied.Translated from Matematicheskie Metody i Fiziko-Mekhanicheskie Polya, No. 25, pp. 49–52, 1987.     

Scattering of guided SH-wave by a partly debonded circular cylinder in a traction free plate

A solution of the scattering problem of guided SH-wave by a partly debonded circular cylinder centered in a traction free plate has been set up. The plate is divided up into three regions with two imaginary planes perpendicular to the plate walls. In the central region where the partly debonded cylindrical obstacle is posted, the wave field is expanded into the cylindrical wave modes and Chebyshev polynomials. In the other two exterior regions the fields are expanded into the plate wave modes. A system of fundamental equations to solve the problem is obtained according to the traction free boundary condition on the plate walls and the continuity condition of the traction and the displacement across the imaginary planes. The approximate numerical method termed mode-matching technique is used to construct a matrix equation to obtain curves showing the coefficient of reflection and transmission versus the ratio of the cylinder’s radius to the plate’s half-thickness and the angular width of the debonded region. A comparison of the numerical results between the welded interface condition and the debonded interface condition is made, and the results are discussed.     

Vibrations of a cylinder in a concentric vessel filled with a two-layer fluid

A hybrid vibrational system containing a solid (a cylinder) with an elastic connection to a coaxial cylindrical cavity, completely filled with a heavy ideal stably stratified two-layer fluid, is considered. The combined self-consistent vibrations of the body and the fluid (of the internal waves) are studied. An explicit solution of the internal boundary value problem of an inhomogeneous liquid in an annular domain for a specified motion of the body is obtained. An integrodifferential equation of the Newton type is constructed on the basis of this. This equation describes the self-consistent oscillations of the cylinder. In the case of weak coupling of the interaction between the solid and the medium, an approximate solution is obtained using asymptotic methods and an analysis is carried out. Qualitative effects of the mutual effect of the motions of the cylinder and the fluid are found.     

Coupled Frequencies of a Fluid in Circular Cylindrical Tank with an Elastic Inclusion in its Roof

A closed upright rigid circular cylindrical tank is filled with a compressible and inviscid fluid as a part of the tank roof is an elastic plate. It is supposed that the tank roof and the elastic plate are eccentrically and the plate is clamped. The problem about the determination of the free coupling vibrations of the received hydroelastic system is considered. Using the Bubnov‐Galerkin method, the frequency equation is obtained. Some numerical examples are made and the results show the influence of the sizes of the radius of the elastic plate as well as of the other parameters of the hydroelastic system on its coupled frequencies.     

The equations of the perturbed motion of a rocket as a thin-walled structure with a liquid

The perturbed motion of a rocket as an elastic thin-walled structure with compartments partially filled with liquid propellant is considered. It is assumed that the normal modes of the hydroelastic oscillations of the rocket are determined under the condition that the velocity potential on the free surface of the liquid is equal to zero and with standard remaining conditions. Certain features of these modes with zero fundamental frequencies are pointed out and the “loss” of mass effect associated with this is explained. Equations are derived for the perturbed motion of a rocket taking account of the hydroelastic oscillations of its structure and the oscillations of the liquid with deviations of the free surface from the equilibrium position under the action of mass forces. The coefficients of these equations, characterizing the relation between the different type of oscillations, are expressed in terms of known hydrodynamic parameters and the values of the oscillation modes at certain points.

Vibrations of an elastic plate partially immersed in a liquid

The free vibrations of an elastic plate, placed orthogonally at the bottom of an unbounded open reservoir of constant depth, are considered. The reservoir is filled with a compressible liquid, the plate protrudes above the free surface and its rigidly fastened to the bottom. Gravitational effects are ignored. An analytical representation of the acoustic field in the liquid and the vibrational field in the plate is obtained. The natural frequencies and natural forms of vibration are calculated as a function of the height of the liquid level. An approximate approach to calculating the vibrations of the plate is considered.
