Numerical Investigation of the Natural Convection of Water in the Neighborhood of the Density Inversion Point For Grashof Numbers up to 106

The natural convection of fresh water in a square cell is considered at a temperature close to the density inversion temperature for Grashof numbers 2.9 · 10⁴ Gr 10⁶. As a result of the numerical investigation, one steady-state and three self-oscillating regimes are found in addition to the three steady-state flows previously detected earlier and described for low Grashof numbers ( 0 Gr 2 · 10⁵). The basic characteristics of the unsteady flows are analyzed by means of the Fourier method, the fundamental oscillation frequencies are found, and the flow evolution and the variation of the oscillation characteristics with increase in the Gr number are considered.     

The irrotational waves and the convergence of Levi-Civita's series

Summary The paper shows that the existence of irrotational surface waves established by an investigation of Levi-Civita may be extended till the breaking, but that it is valid when is 0,84 p 1 (and when p₁=np with n whole number). No solution is known till to day when is p<0,84 (and when is 1,00<p₁<<1,68).

Tanto questa dimostrazione che quella originaria di Levi Civita sono valide finchè sia 0,84 p 1 (e quando sia p₁=np con n intero). Nessuna soluzione è nota fino ad oggi quando sia p<0,84 (e quando sia 1 p₁ 1,68).

The purpose of this study is the construction of interpolation formulas for the dependence of Maxwell viscosity, a quantity which is the reciprocal of shear-strain relaxation time , on shear-strain intensity and temperature for several metals: iron, aluminum, copper, and lead. This function was interpolated in various temperature and deformation velocity ranges in accordance with available experimental data for iron (0 10⁷ sec^–1, 200 ° T 1500 °); aluminum (0 10⁷ sec^–1, 300 ° T 900 °); copper (0 10⁵ sec^–1, 300 ° T 1300 °); lead (0 10⁶ sec^–1, 90 ° T 400 °); temperatures in °K.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 4, pp. 114–118, July–August, 1974.

Analysis of slip and temperature jump coefficients in a binary gas mixture

The possibility of simplifying the formulas obtained by the Maxwell-Loyalka method for the velocity _u, temperature _T and diffusion _d slip coefficients and the temperature jump coefficient in a binary gas mixture with frozen internal degrees of freedom of the molecules is considered. Special attention is paid to gases not having sharply different physicochemical properties. The formulas are written in a form convenient for use without linearization in the thermal diffusion coefficient. They are systematically analyzed for mixtures of inert gases, N₂, O₂, CO₂, and H₂ at temperatures extending from room temperature to 2500°K. It is shown that for the molecular weight ratios m^* = m₂/m₁ considered the expressions for _u and can be radically simplified. With an error acceptable for practical purposes (up to 10%) it is possible to employ expressions of the same structural form as for a single-component gas: for _u if 1 m^* 6, and for if 1 m^* 3. When 1 m^* 2 the expression for _T can be simplified with a maximum error of 5%. Within the limits of accuracy of the method the expression for _t can be linearized in the thermal diffusion coefficient. An approximate expression convenient for practical calculations is proposed for _d Finally, the , _u, and _T for a single-component polyatomic gas with easy excitation of the internal degrees of freedom of the molecules are similarly analyzed; it is shown that these expressions can be considerably simplified.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 6, pp. 152–159, November–December, 1990.     

Multiple Steady State Solutions Resulting From Coupling Between Mixed Convection And Radiation In An Inclined Channel

In this work, we present a numerical study of mixed convection coupled with radiation in an inclined channel with an aspect ratio B = L/H=10, and locally heated from one side. Convective, radiative and total Nusselt numbers, evaluated on the cold surface and at the exit of the channel, are presented for different combinations of the governing parameters namely, the surface emissivity (0 1), the Reynolds number (10 Re 50), the inclination of the channel with respect to the horizontal surface (0° 90°) and the Rayleigh number (Ra = 10⁵). The ratio, R = Q_C/Q_E, of the heat quantities, leaving the channel through the cold wall, Q_C, and through the exit, Q_E, is presented to identify the most favorable issue to the heat transfer in the studied configuration. The results obtained show that the flow structure is significantly altered by radiation which contributes to reduce or to enhance the number of the solutions obtained.     

Effect of a longitudinal magnetic field on the characteristics of a stabilized channel arc

The results of calculations of the temperature profiles and volt-ampere characteristics of a long cylindrical argon arc in a longitudinal uniform magnetic field are presented. The calculation was made for the following parameters: pressure p =0.1–10.0 atm; temperatures T = 1000-20,000°K; magnetic field induction B =0-10 T; diameter of cylindrical channel d = 1.0 cm. It is shown that for strongly radiating arcs (p1.0 atm) the temperature profiles become more inflated with an increase in the magnetic field, while for weakly radiating arcs (p 0.1 atm) the appearance of loops in the volt-ampere characteristics is typical for certain conditions (14,000T20,000°K, B1.0 T), indicating the impossibility of arcing under these conditions.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 2, pp. 147–153, March–April, 1975.     

Internal waves generated by the turbulent wake of a sphere

Internal waves generated by the turbulent wake of a sphere travelling horizontally through a linearly stratified fluid were studied using shadowgraph and particle-streak photography. The Reynolds and internal Froude number ranges considered were 2,000 Re 12,900 and 2.0 Fi 28.0, respectively. Two quite distinct flow regimes based on the structure of the turbulent wake were identified. In one, the wake is characterized by large-scale coherent structures. In the other, the wake, as viewed on a side-view shadowgraph, grows in a roughly symmetric fashion to a maximum height and then collapses slowly; such flows are termed the smallscale structures regime.Wave lengths and maximum wave heights of the internal waves were measured as functions of Nt and Fi, where N is the Brunt-Väisälä frequency and t the time. It was found that the wave lengths scale well with the streamwise dimension of the spiralling coherent structures. The maximum amplitude of the internal waves were found to scale with the vertical dimension of the turbulent wake, upon varying the internal Froude number.     

Distinctive Features of the Flow past a Flight Vehicle Integrated with an Air-Breathing Engine at High Supersonic Velocities

The aerodynamic characteristics and distinctive features of the flow past hypersonic integral-layout flight vehicles with air-breathing engines intended for cruising atmospheric flight are experimentally investigated. The experiments were conducted on a simplified model designed with regard for the general principles of integration for vehicles of the class considered. The tests were run in a high-speed supersonic wind tunnel over the Mach and Reynolds number ranges 4 M 9 and 10⁵ Re₀ 10⁶.Balance testing was conducted, the pressure distributions over the vehicle surface were measured, the flowfield parameters were determined using a moving total-pressure tube, and flow shadowgraphs were obtained. The measured data are compared with the results of the calculations for three-dimensional inviscid flows. The effects of mounting a nacelle and contouring the internal duct are considered. The effect of the corrections on the duct flow in the absence of jet modeling is estimated.     

Heat transfer process in turbulent flows

A system of differential equations is proposed to describe turbulent flows of incompressible fluid boundary layer type with constant thermophysical characteristics A turbulent temperature conductivity is introduced which is expressed in terms of the energy and scale of turbulence, the dimensionless gradients of the mean velocity and turbulence energy, and the dimensionless distance, to the surface being streamlined. This system is integrated on an electronc computer by the mesh method for the flow in a flat-plate boundary layer with different Prandtl numbers (0.2P100) For air (P=0.71) the system is integrated for nonzero values of the transverse mean velocity component on the streamlined surface (0v_W/U0.0045).Moscow.

General expressions for evaluating the asymptotic Nusselt number for a Newtonian flow through a parallel-plate channel with recycle at the ends have been derived. Numerical results with the ratio of thicknesses as a parameter for various recycle ratios are obtained. A regression analysis shows that the results can be expressed by log Nur^0.83=0.3589 (log)² -0.2925 (log) + 0.3348 forR 3, 0.1 0.9; logNu=0.5982(log)² +0.3755 × 10^–2 (log) +0.8342 forR 10^–2, 0.1 0.9.

Numerical study of certain MHD flows involving a viscous,compressible gas in a rectangular cavern (cavity)

The problem of the two-dimensional flow of a viscous, compressible, conducting gas with extremely inhomogeneous properties in a rectangular cavity is considered. The effects of a longitudinal magnetic field on the flow are examined. The analysis is based on a numerical solution of the complete transient system of Navier-Stokes and energy equations. An explicit numerical scheme is proposed; the scheme is of the predictor-corrector type, accurate to the second order of spatial approximation, and yields solutions over a fairly wide range of Reynolds numbers (100Re5000).Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 5, pp. 27–33, September–October, 1975.The author wishes to thank L.

On flow and stability of a Newtonian fluid past a rotating plane

An exact solution is given for the steady flow of a Newtonian fluid occupying the halfspace past the plane z=0 uniformly rotating about a fixed normal axis (Oz). This solution is obtained in a velocity field of the form considered by Berker [2] and can be deduced as a limiting case, as h+, of the solution to the problem relative to the strip 0zh imposing at z=h either the adherence boundary conditions or the free surface conditions. Furthermore, the stability of this flow, subject to periodic disturbances of finite amplitude, is studied using the energy method and the result is compared with those corresponding to stability of flows in the strip 0zh.

Sommario In questa nota si mostra che-oltre alla calssica soluzione di von Karman [1] — esiste, per opportuni valori del gradiente di pressione all'infinito, una soluzione esatta per il moto stazionario di un fluido Newtoniano posto nel semispazio limitato dal piano z=0 uniformemente rotante attorno ad un asse ad esso perpendicolare (Oz). Tale soluzione, ottenuta sulla scia del lavoro di Berker [2], si può dedurre anche come limite, per h+, della soluzione del problema relativo alla striscia 0zh quando sul piano z=h si assegnano o le condizioni di aderenza o le condizioni di frontiera libera. Si studia poi la stabilità di tale moto rispetto a perturbazioni spazialmente periodiche di ampiezza finita col metodo dell'energia e si confronta il risultato ottenuto con quelli relativi alla stabilità dei moti nella striscia 0zh.

The nonsymmetric penetration of a disk (circular cylinder) into a compressible fluid is investigated. The results are obtained by physical modeling. A fluid with a low speed of sound (finely dispersed medium with gas bubbles, whose dimensionless equation of state coincides with the dimensionless equation of state of water [5]) was used as the working medium. The experiments were carried out at entry angles on the interval 54 < < 88, angles of attack on the interval –15 < < +15 and Mach numbers on the interval 0.002 M 0.2.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 5, pp. 88–94, September–October, 1990.
