The virtual origin of riblets in an open channel flow

In this paper, a method using the mean velocity profiles for the buffer layer was developed for the estimation of the virtual origin over a riblets surface in an open channel flow. First, the standardized profiles of the mixing length were estimated from the velocity measurement in the inner layer, and the location of the edge of the viscous layer was obtained. Then, the virtual origins were estimated by the best match between the measured velocity profile and the equations of the velocity profile derived from the mixing length profiles. It was made clear that the virtual origin and the thickness of the viscous layer are the function of the roughness Reynolds number. The drag variation coincided well with other results.Nomenclature f _r skin friction coefficient - f _ro skin friction coefficient in smooth channel at the same flow quantity and the same energy slope - g gravity acceleration - H water depth from virtual origin to water surface - H ⁺ u*H/ - H false water depth from top of riblets to water surface - H ⁺ u*H/ - I _e streamwise energy slope - I _b bed slope - k riblet height - k ⁺ u*k/ - l mixing length - l _s standardized mixing length - Q flow quantity - Re Reynolds number volume flow/unit width/v - s riblet spacing - u mean velocity - u* friction velocity = - u* false friction velocity = - y distance from virtual origin - y distance from top of riblet - y ₀ distance from top of riblet to virtual origin - y _v distance from top of riblet to edge of viscous layer - y ⁺ u*y/ - y ⁺ u*y/ - y ₀ ⁺ u*y ₀/ - u ⁺ u*y/ - shifting coefficient for standardization - thickness of viscous layer=y ₀+y - ⁺ u*/ - ⁺ u*/ - eddy viscosity - ridge angle - v kinematic viscosity - density - shear stress

Determination of permeability tensors for two-phase flow in homogeneous porous media: Theory

In this paper we continue previous studies of the closure problem for two-phase flow in homogeneous porous media, and we show how the closure problem can be transformed to a pair of Stokes-like boundary-value problems in terms of pressures that have units of length and velocities that have units of length squared. These are essentially geometrical boundary value problems that are used to calculate the four permeability tensors that appear in the volume averaged Stokes' equations. To determine the geometry associated with the closure problem, one needs to solve the physical problem; however, the closure problem can be solved using the same algorithm used to solve the physical problem, thus the entire procedure can be accomplished with a single numerical code.Nomenclature a a vector that maps V onto , m^-1. - A a tensor that maps V onto . - A area of the - interface contained within the macroscopic region, m². - A area of the -phase entrances and exits contained within the macroscopic region, m². - A area of the - interface contained within the averaging volume, m². - A area of the -phase entrances and exits contained within the averaging volume, m². - Bo Bond number (= (=(–)g²/). - Ca capillary number (= v/). - g gravitational acceleration, m/s². - H mean curvature, m^-1. - I unit tensor. - permeability tensor for the -phase, m². - viscous drag tensor that maps V onto V. - ^* dominant permeability tensor that maps onto v , m². - ^* coupling permeability tensor that maps onto v , m². - characteristic length scale for the -phase, m. - l characteristic length scale representing both and , m. - L characteristic length scale for volume averaged quantities, m. - n unit normal vector directed from the -phase toward the -phase. - n unit normal vector representing both n and n . - n unit normal vector representing both n and n . - P pressure in the -phase, N/m². - p superficial average pressure in the -phase, N/m². - p intrinsic average pressure in the -phase, N/m². - p –p , spatial deviation pressure for the -phase, N/m². - r ₀ radius of the averaging volume, m. - r position vector, m. - t time, s. - v fluid velocity in the -phase, m/s. - v superficial average velocity in the -phase, m/s. - v intrinsic average velocity in the -phase, m/s. - v –v , spatial deviation velocity in the -phase, m/s. - V volume of the -phase contained within the averaging volmue, m³. - averaging volume, m³.

Flow in porous media III: Deformable media

Stokes flow in a deformable medium is considered in terms of an isotropic, linearly elastic solid matrix. The analysis is restricted to steady forms of the momentum equations and small deformation of the solid phase. Darcy's law can be used to determine the motion of the fluid phase; however, the determination of the Darcy's law permeability tensor represents part of the closure problem in which the position of the fluid-solid interface must be determined.Roman Letters A interfacial area of the- interface contained within the macroscopic system, m² - A interfacial area of the- interface contained within the averaging volume, m² - A _e area of entrances and exits for the-phase contained within the macroscopic system, m² - A ^* interfacial area of the- interface contained within a unit cell, m² - A _e ^* area of entrances and exits for the-phase contained within a unit cell, m² - E Young's modulus for the-phase, N/m² - e i unit base vectors (i = 1, 2, 3) - g gravity vector, m²/s - H height of elastic, porous bed, m - k unit base vector (=e ₃) - characteristic length scale for the-phase, m - L characteristic length scale for volume-averaged quantities, m - n unit normal vector pointing from the-phase toward the-phase (n = -n ) - p pressure in the-phase, N/m² - P p – g·r, N/m² - r ₀ radius of the averaging volume, m - r position vector, m - t time, s - T total stress tensor in the-phase, N/m² - T ⁰ hydrostatic stress tensor for the-phase, N/m² - u displacement vector for the-phase, m - V averaging volume, m₃ - V volume of the-phase contained within the averaging volume, m³ - v velocity vector for the-phase, m/s Greek Letters V /V, volume fraction of the-phase - mass density of the-phase, kg/m³ - shear coefficient of viscosity for the-phase, Nt/m² - first Lamé coefficient for the-phase, N/m² - second Lamé coefficient for the-phase, N/m² - bulk coefficient of viscosity for the-phase, Nt/m² - T –T ⁰ , a deviatoric stress tensor for the-phase, N/m²

Modelling of heat transfer by conduction in a transition region between a porous medium and an external fluid

We study the modelling of purely conductive heat transfer between a porous medium and an external fluid within the framework of the volume averaging method. When the temperature field for such a system is classically determined by coupling the macroscopic heat conduction equation in the porous medium domain to the heat conduction equation in the external fluid domain, it is shown that the phase average temperature cannot be predicted without a generally negligible error due to the fact that the boundary conditions at the interface between the two media are specified at the macroscopic level.Afterwards, it is presented an alternative modelling by means of a single equation involving an effective thermal conductivity which is a function of point inside the interfacial region.The theoretical results are illustrated by means of some numerical simulations for a model porous medium.

Transport in ordered and disordered porous media IV: Computer generated porous media for three-dimensional systems

In the method of volume averaging, the difference between ordered and disordered porous media appears at two distinct points in the analysis, i.e. in the process of spatial smoothing and in the closure problem. In theclosure problem, the use of spatially periodic boundary conditions isconsistent with ordered porous media and the fields under consideration when the length-scale constraint,r ₀L is satisfied. For disordered porous media, spatially periodic boundary conditions are an approximation in need of further study.In theprocess of spatial smoothing, average quantities must be removed from area and volume integrals in order to extractlocal transport equations fromnonlocal equations. This leads to a series of geometrical integrals that need to be evaluated. In Part II we indicated that these integrals were constants for ordered porous media provided that the weighting function used in the averaging process contained thecellular average. We also indicated that these integrals were constrained by certain order of magnitude estimates for disordered porous media. In this paper we verify these characteristics of the geometrical integrals, and we examine their values for pseudo-periodic and uniformly random systems through the use of computer generated porous media.

Shear viscosity behavior of highly concentrated suspensions at low and high shear-rates

A method is proposed for determining the shear viscosity behavior of highly concentrated suspensions at low and high shear-rates through the use of a formulation that is a function of three parameters signifying the effects of particle size distribution. These parameters are the intrinsic viscosity [], a parametern that reflects the level of particle association at the initiation of motion and the maximum packing concentration _m. The formulation reduces to the modified Eilers equation withn = 2 for high shear rates. An analytical method was used for the calculation of maximum packing concentration which was subsequently correlated with the experimental values to account for the surface induced interaction of particles with the fluid. The calculated values of viscosities at low and high shear-rates were found to be in good agreement with various experimental data reported in literature. A brief discussion is also offered on the reliability of the methods of measuring the maximum packing concentration. _r = /₀ relative viscosity of the suspension - volumetric concentration of solids - k _n coefficient which characterizes a specific effect of particle interactions - _m maximum packing concentration - _r,0 relative viscosity at low shear-rates - [] intrinsic viscosity - n, n parameter that reflects the level of particle interactions at low and high shear-rates, respectively - _r, relative viscosity at high shear-rates - (_m)_s, (_m)_i, (_m)_l packing factors for small, intermediate and large diameter classes - v _s, v_i, v_l volume fractions of small, intermediate and large diameter classes, respectively - _si, _sl coefficient to be used in relating a smaller to an intermediate and larger particle group, respectively - _is, _il coefficient to be used in relating an intermediate to a smaller and larger particle group, respectively - _ls, _li coefficient to be used in relating a larger to a smaller and intermediate particle group, respectively - _m0 maximum packing concentration for binary mixtures - _m,e measured maximum packing concentration - _m,c calculated maximum packing concentration

Laminar stability analysis of condensate film flow

The linear stability theory is used to study stability characteristics of laminar gravity-induced condensate film flow down an arbitrarily inclined wall. The coupled equations describing the velocity and temperature disturbances are solved numerically. The results show that laminar condensate films are unstable in all practical situations. Several stabilizing effects are acting on the film flow; these are: the angle of inclination, the surface tension at large wave numbers, the condensation rate at small Reynolds numbers, and to a certain extent the Prandtl number. For a vertical plate, the expected wavelengths of the disturbances are presented as functions of the Reynolds numbers of the condensate flow.

A system is determined by two functionsf(X): X X and:X×YX, a (small) positive parameter and a homogeneous Markov chain {y _n } in (Y,C) which describes random perturbations. States of the system, say {x _n X, n=0, 1,}, are determined by the iteration relations:x _n+1 =f(x _n )+(x _n ,Y_n+1) forn0, wherex ₀ =x ₀ is given. Here we study the asymptotic behavior of the solutionx _n as 0 andn under various assumptions on the data. General results are applied to some problems in epidemics, genetics and demographics.Supported in part by NSF Grant DMS92-06677.Supported in part by NSF Grant DMS93-12255.     

Some characteristic features of diffusion of a magnetic field into a moving conductor

The study of the diffusion of a magnetic field into a moving conductor is of interest in connection with the production of ultra-high-strength magnetic fields by rapid compression of conducting shells [1,2]. In [3,4] it is shown that when a magnetic field in a plane slit is compressed at constant velocity, the entire flux enters the conductor. In the present paper we formulate a general result concerning the conservation of the sum current in the cavity and conductor for arbitrary motion of the latter. We also consider a special case of conductor motion when the flux in the cavity remains constant despite the finite conductivity of the material bounding the magnetic field.Notation ₁, * flux which has diffused into the conductor - ₂ flux in the cavity - ₀ sum flux - r radius - r* cavity boundary - thickness of the skin layer - (r) delta function of r - t time - q intensity of the fluid sink - v velocity - flux which has diffused to a depth larger than r - x self-similar variable - dimensionless fraction of the flux which has diffused to a depth larger than r - * fraction of the flux which has diffused into the conductor - a conductivity - c electrodynamic constant - R_m magnetic Reynolds number - dimensionless parameter     

Representation of the rheological properties of polymer melts in terms of complex fluidity

In dynamic rheological experiments melt behavior is usually expressed in terms of complex viscosity ^* () or complex modulusG ^* (). In contrast, we attempted to use the complex fluidity ^* () = 1/µ ^* () to represent this behavior. The main interest is to simplify the complex-plane diagram and to simplify the determination of fundamental parameters such as the Newtonian viscosity or the parameter of relaxation-time distribution when a Cole-Cole type distribution can be applied. ^* () complex shear viscosity - () real part of the complex viscosity - () imaginary part of the complex viscosity - G ^* () complex shear modulus - G() storage modulus in shear - G() loss modulus in shear - J ^* () complex shear compliance - J() storage compliance in shear - J() loss compliance in shear - shear strain - rate of strain - angular frequency (rad/s) - shear stress - loss angle - ^* () complex shear fluidity - () real part of the complex fluidity - () imaginary part of the complex fluidity - ₀ zero-viscosity - ₀ average relaxation time - h parameter of relaxation-time distribution     

Über den Einfluß von Querkrümmung und Dichte bei inhomogenen turbulenten Freistrahlen

Zusammenfassung Zur Berechnung turbulenter Strömungen wird das k--Modell im Ansatz für die turbulente Scheinzähigkeit erweitert, so daß es den Querkrümmungs- und Dichteeinfluß auf den turbulenten Transportaustausch erfaßt. Die dabei zu bestimmenden Konstanten werden derart festgelegt, daß die bestmögliche Übereinstimmung zwischen Berechnung und Messung erzielt wird. Die numerische Integration der Grenzschichtgleichungen erfolgt unter Verwendung einer Transformation mit dem Differenzenverfahren vom Hermiteschen Typ. Das erweiterte Modell wird auf rotationssymmetrische Freistrahlen veränderlicher Dichte angewendet und zeigt Übereinstimmung zwischen Rechnung und Experiment.

On the influence of transvers-curvature and density in inhomogeneous turbulent free jets

The prediction of turbulent flows based on the k- model is extended to include the influence of transverse-curvature and density on the turbulent transport mechanisms. The empirical constants involved are adjusted such that the best agreement between predictions and experimental results is obtained. Using a transformation the boundary layer equations are solved numerically by means of a finite difference method of Hermitian type. The extended model is applied to predict the axisymmetric jet with variable density. The results of the calculations are in agreement with measurements.
