Background rejection in schlieren visualization

It was recently suggested that an image orthicon could be used as a two-dimensional array of lock-in amplifiers. This technique enables rejection of extraneous optical signals from images of periodic phenomena, and the suitability of the method to improve schlieren images of ultrasonic beams is verified by experimental results.     

A comparison of three quantitative schlieren techniques

We compare the results of three quantitative schlieren techniques applied to the measurement and visualization of a two-dimensional laminar free-convection boundary layer. The techniques applied are Schardin's “calibrated” schlieren technique, in which a weak lens in the field-of-view provides a calibration of light deflection angle to facilitate quantitative measurements, “rainbow schlieren”, in which the magnitude of schlieren deflection is coded by hue in the image, and “background-oriented schlieren” (BOS), in which quantitative schlieren-like results are had from measuring the distortion of a background pattern using digital-image-correlation software. In each case computers and software are applied to process the data, thus streamlining and modernizing the quantitative application of schlieren optics. (BOS, in particular, is only possible with digital-image-correlation software.) Very good results are had with the lens-calibrated standard schlieren method in the flow tested here. BOS likewise produces good results and requires less expensive apparatus than the other methods, but lacks the simplification of parallel light that they feature. Rainbow schlieren suffers some unique drawbacks, including the production of the required rainbow cutoff filter, and provides little significant benefit over the calibrated schlieren technique.

Observing ultrasonic wave propagation by stroboscopic visualization methods

The generation of various wave modes by single element devices working in the range 2 MHz to 5 MHz is illustrated and the unwanted production of spurious wave modes identified. A linear four-element phased array is described with which beam steering can be clearly demonstrated. The mode conversion of waves which can occur during reflection at component boundaries, and the interaction of compressional waves with slots and internal defects of various shapes are displayed. The diffraction of compressional waves around an obstacle has been given particular attention, both in a solid and in water by the complementary schlieren technique. The results suggest that the transparent solid effects are very much more complicated than had been anticipated. The future value of these comparisons is briefly discussed in relation to the immersion and direct contact methods of material inspection.

为了研究纹影系统的温度场定量测量技术,本文详细阐述了纹影技术的定量测量原理,并通过分析流场纹影图像灰度大小与未被遮挡的光源像面积的关系,提出了一种新颖的流场温度定量测量的计算方法。首先,在光学平台上搭建了透射式纹影系统,将加热平台放置在该系统的测量区域,利用CCD相机将采集到的纹影图像上传到上位机进行图像处理,然后采用该算法计算得到温度场的测量值,并与热电偶的测量值相对比。实验结果表明：在室温20℃时,将加热平台的温度分别设定为50℃和90℃,纹影系统测量得到的温度值相对误差小于10%,证明了该计算方法的可靠性,实现了以纹影技术为基础的温度场定量测量。

Hamiltonian and gradient structures in the Toda flows

In this paper we consider gradient structures in the dynamics and geometry of the asymmetri nonperiodic tridiagonal and full Toda flow equations. We compare and contrast a number of formulations of the nonperiodic Toda equations. In the case of the full Kostant (asymmetric) Toda flow we explain the role of noncommutative integrability in its qualitative behavior. We describe the relationship between the asymmetric Toda flows and the symmetric and indefinite Toda flows, and prove in particular that one may conjugate from the full Kostant Toda flows to the full symmetric Toda flows via a Poisson map.     

An analysis of the incompressible viscous flows problem by meshless method

Generally the incompressible viscous flow problem is described by the Navier--Stokes equation. Based on the weighted residual method the discrete formulation of element-free Galerkin is inferred in this paper. By the step-by-step computation in the field of time, and adopting the least-square estimation of the-same-order shift, this paper has calculated both velocity and pressure from the decoupling independent equations. Each time fraction Newton--Raphson iterative method is applied for the velocity and pressure. Finally, this paper puts the method into practice of the shear-drive cavity flow, verifying the validity, high accuracy and stability.     

An interface capturing method for the simulation of multi-phase compressible flows

A novel finite-volume interface (contact) capturing method is presented for simulation of multi-component compressible flows with high density ratios and strong shocks. In addition, the materials on the two sides of interfaces can have significantly different equations of state. Material boundaries are identified through an interface function, which is solved in concert with the governing equations on the same mesh. For long simulations, the method relies on an interface compression technique that constrains the thickness of the diffused interface to a few grid cells throughout the simulation. This is done in the spirit of shock-capturing schemes, for which numerical dissipation effectively preserves a sharp but mesh-representable shock profile. For contact capturing, the formulation is modified so that interface representations remain sharp like captured shocks, countering their tendency to diffuse via the same numerical diffusion needed for shock-capturing. Special techniques for accurate and robust computation of interface normals and derivatives of the interface function are developed. The interface compression method is coupled to a shock-capturing compressible flow solver in a way that avoids the spurious oscillations that typically develop at material boundaries. Convergence to weak solutions of the governing equations is proved for the new contact capturing approach. Comparisons with exact Riemann problems for model one-dimensional multi-material flows show that the interface compression technique is accurate. The method employs Cartesian product stencils and, therefore, there is no inherent obstacles in multiple dimensions. Examples of two- and three-dimensional flows are also presented, including a demonstration with significantly disparate equations of state: a shock induced collapse of three-dimensional van der Waal’s bubbles (air) in a stiffened equation of state liquid (water) adjacent to a Mie-Grüneisen equation of state wall (copper).     

Flow visualization and density measurement of compressible flows by a laser speckle method

Laser speckle method is a well known technique that is useful for both visualization and quantitative measurement. This technique was applied to the density measurement of Mach reflection of shock waves in the present experiment. The Object of the measurement is the density field of simple Mach reflection in relatively low shock Mach number. The non-uniform flow field is divided into three regions by incident, Mach and reflected shock waves. A shock tube was employed in the present experiment. Wedges of 20 degrees and 45 degrees were placed in the test section. YAG laser was employed as a light source. Speckle photograph was taken by a digital still camera. Simple subtraction between the reference and flow images shows a shock pattern and a degree of the correlation of speckle pattern in the flow field. Thus, we can obtain a visualized flow image showing a configuration of Mach reflection from speckle photograph. Speckle photographs which was obtained in the experiments were processed with cross-correlation method. A reconstructed density gradient vector map of Mach reflection was obtained. Comparing the experimental result with numerical one, the measured density gradient shows a good agreement with theoretical prediction.     

The effect of surface roughness on rarefied gas flows by lattice Boltzmann method

This paper studies the roughness effect combining with effects of rarefaction and compressibility by a lattice Boltzmann model for rarefied gas flows at high Knudsen numbers. By discussing the effect of the tangential momentum accommodation coefficient on the rough boundary condition, the lattice Boltzmann simulations of nitrogen and helium flows are performed in a two-dimensional microchannel with rough boundaries. The surface roughness effects in the microchannel on the velocity field, the mass flow rate and the friction coefficient are studied and analysed. Numerical results for the two gases in micro scale show different characteristics from macroscopic flows and demonstrate the feasibility of the lattice Boltzmann model in rarefied gas dynamics.     

A discontinuous Galerkin method for inviscid low Mach number flows

In this work we extend the high-order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) finite element method to inviscid low Mach number flows. The method here presented is designed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the solution at low Mach numbers using both explicit and implicit schemes for the temporal discretization of the compressible Euler equations. The algorithm is based on a classical preconditioning technique that in general entails modifying both the instationary term of the governing equations and the dissipative term of the numerical flux function (full preconditioning approach). In the paper we show that full preconditioning is beneficial for explicit time integration while the implicit scheme turns out to be efficient and accurate using just the modified numerical flux function. Thus the implicit scheme could also be used for time accurate computations. The performance of the method is demonstrated by solving an inviscid flow past a NACA0012 airfoil at different low Mach numbers using various degrees of polynomial approximations. Computations with and without preconditioning are performed on different grid topologies to analyze the influence of the spatial discretization on the accuracy of the DG solutions at low Mach numbers.
