Numerical Investigation of Unipolar Injection in the Presence of Electroconvective Motion in a Plane Layer of Transformer Oil

The effect of unipolar injection of charges on the electroconvective motion of a weakly conducting liquid in a plane-parallel electrode system is investigated. By means of a numerical experiment it is confirmed that the crisis in the stability of a plane layer of weakly conducting liquid with unipolar injection conductivity depends significantly on the electrochemical processes in the electrode layer. A~dependence of the unipolar charge injection on the initial conductivity for a solution of molecular iodine in transformer oil is obtained.     

The Effect of Wall Normal Actuation on a Turbulent Boundary Layer

In this work, a series of direct numerical simulations are conducted to study the effect of wall normal spanwise homogeneous wall actuation on a turbulent boundary layer. The moving boundary is represented by a boundary data immersion technique. A parametric study was performed, varying the actuator length, the wall normal actuation amplitude and the actuation frequency. It was found that localized actuation, relying only on wall motion instead of requiring a plenum in the case of synthetic jets, generated a net momentum flux jet affecting the flow not only in the immediate vicinity of the actuator but also for a significant distance downstream. The cases with an actuator velocity of \( u^{+}_{act}=?20.1 \) showed a particularly pronounced effect on the boundary layer and resulted in a recirculation region.     

Effect of a Standing Acoustic Wave on the Development of Large-Scale Convection in a Horizontal Layer

The effect of a standing acoustic wave on the development of long-wave convective perturbations in a horizontal layer with thermally insulated boundaries is investigated. The main two-dimensional flow is determined. A nonlinear amplitude equation with spatially-periodic coefficients is derived for investigating the stability of the main flow and secondary convection flows in the neighborhood of the stability threshold. The intensity of the acoustic field is assumed to be low. It is shown that the acoustic action leads to destabilization of the layer. Plane and three-dimensional perturbations are critical at large and small Prandtl numbers, respectively. Nonlinear one-dimensional steady-state solutions of the amplitude equation are obtained and their stability is investigated.     

Propagation of a Stationary Shock Layer in the Presence of a Boundary

We are interested in the large-time behavior of a stationary shock layer in the presence of a boundary effect. It is shown that the stationary shock propagates away from the boundary with speed inversely proportional to the time . Consequently, the location of the wave front is of order . We show therefore that the zero-viscosity and time-asymptotic limits do not commute. Our analysis involves detailed point-wise estimates, which allow us to trace the shock.

Thermocapillary Instability of a Cylindrical Layer in the Presence of a Radial Temperature Gradient

Within a linear formulation, the thermocapillary instability of equilibrium of a cylindrical layer of heat-conducting viscous fluid in the presence of a radial temperature gradient is investigated with respect to arbitrary disturbances. It is shown that the Rayleigh instability mechanism results in the appearance of monotonous disturbances of a new type. For steady disturbances, the neutral curve is split into two separate segments, each corresponding to its own type of disturbances. For a deformable free boundary, new oscillating disturbances in the form of surface waves develop. It is found that, in the case of axial symmetry, the behavior of these disturbances completely coincides with the oscillating disturbance behavior in a plane layer.

Transition to Turbulence in the Boundary Layer on a Plate in the Presence of a Negative Free-Stream Pressure Gradient

Transition to turbulence in the boundary layer on a flat plate is investigated numerically for an incompressible fluid flow with a given negative free-stream pressure gradient. The transition is investigated using the three-parameter turbulence model developed by the authors. The calculation results are compared with the available experimental data.     

Temporal Evolution of Vortical Structures in the Wall Region of Turbulent Channel Flow

Hairpin-like vortical structures that form in the wall region of turbulent channel flow are investigated. The analysis is performed by following a procedure in which the Navier-Stokes equations are first integrated by means of a computational code based on a mixed spectral-finite difference technique in the case of the flow in a plane channel. A DNS turbulent-flow database, representing the turbulent statistically steady state of the velocity field through 10 viscous time units, is computed and the vortex-detection method of the imaginary part of the complex eigenvalue pair of the velocity-gradient tensor is applied to the velocity field. As a result, hairpin-like vortical structures are educed. Flow visualizations are provided of the processes of evolution that characterize hairpin vortices in the wall region of turbulent channel flow. The relationship is investigated between vortex dynamics and 2nd- and 4th- quadrant events, showing that ejections and sweeps play a fundamental role in the way the morphological evolution of a hairpin vortex develops with time.     

Controlling the Development of Stationary Longitudinal Structures in the Boundary Layer on a Flat Plate using Riblets

This paper reports results of experiments on controlling longitudinal structures in the boundary layer on a at plate. The longitudinal structures were generated by a controlled vortical disturbance of the external flow by means of a distributed susceptibility mechanism. It is shown that riblets reduce the intensity of both stationary and traveling disturbances. The linear and weakly linear stages in the development of disturbances in the boundary layer are the most favorable for the use of riblets.__________Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 46, No. 4, pp. 47–54, July–August, 2005.     

Coherent Structures and their Frequency Signature in the Separated Shear Layer on the Sides of a Square Cylinder

The purpose of the present work is to study the various specific time scales of the turbulent separating flow around a square cylinder, in order to determine the Reynolds number effect on the separating shear layer, where occurs a transition to turbulence. Unsteady analysis based on large eddy simulation (LES) at intermediate Reynolds numbers and laser doppler velocimetry (LDV) measurements at high Reynolds numbers are carried out. The Reynolds number, based on the cylinder diameter D and the inflow velocity U _o , is ranging from Re?=?50 to Re?=?300,000. A special focus is performed on the coherent structures developing on the sides and in the wake of a square cylinder. For a large Reynolds number range above Re?≈?1,000, both signatures of Von Karman (VK) and Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) type vortical structures are found on velocity time samples. The combination of their frequency signature is studied based on Fourier and wavelet analysis. In the present study, We observe the occurrence of KH pairings in the separating shear layer on the side of the cylinder, and confirm the intermittency nature of such a shear flow. These issues concerning the structure of the near wake shear layer which were addressed for the round cylinder case in a recent experimental publication (Rajagopalan and Antonia, Exp Fluids 38:393–402, 2005) are of interest in the present flow configuration as well.     

Steady Streamwise Structures in the Boundary Layer on a Swept Wing with Elevated Turbulence of the Incoming Flow

Results for a turbulized flow past the windward side of a swept wing model are presented. Origination of steady disturbances in the form of streamwise structures is found. The greatest effect on the formation of these disturbances is exerted by the curvature of the external flow streamlines. The secondary flow in the boundary layer leads to an increase in the characteristic scale of disturbances in the transverse direction, as compared to the flow around the model at a zero yaw angle.     

Unsteady Motion of a Viscous Liquid between Rotating Parallel Walls in the Presence of a Crossflow

The paper considers the unsteady flow of a viscous incompressible fluid inside an infinitely long slot with uniform injection or suction of the fluid through the porous walls of the slot. The plates with the fluid are rotated rigidly with constant angular velocity. The unsteady flow is induced by nontorsional vibrations of the upper plate. The flowvelocity field and the tangential stress vectors exerted by the fluid on the upper and lower walls of the slot are determined. In this case, one can find an exact solution of the threedimensional nonstationary Navier–Stokes equations. No restrictions are imposed on the motion pattern of the plate.     

Effect of the Turbulent Energy Gradient and the Presence of a Wall on the Turbulent Process of Momentum Transport

A mathematical model of turbulent transport processes is modified to make allowance for the turbulent energy gradient and the presence of walls. The modification consists in making the variance tensor in the Gaussian probability density distribution for the initial mole velocities anisotropic for nonzero turbulent energy gradient and a ratio of the turbulence scale to the distance from the wall of the order of unity. Formulas for the variance tensor components are derived and the empirical coefficients of these formulas are determined. The expression for the dimensionless turbulent friction stress is compared with experimental data for three boundary-layer-type flows, namely, in the wake of a cylinder, in the boundary layer on a flat plate, and in a channel with parallel walls.     

Effect of Longitudinal Forced Motion on the Stability of Convection in a Plane Vertical Layer with Internal Heat Sources

The effect of longitudinal forced fluid motion on the mechanisms of instability of a convection flow developing in a plane vertical layer in the presence of internal heat sources is considered. It is found that forced motion which intensifies the central stream of the convection flow can lead to moderate stabilization of the hydrodynamic and thermal crisis mechanisms. In the presence of counterstream forced motion the flow stability increases sharply.__________Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Academii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 2, 2005, pp. 14–17.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Lobov.     

On a Paradox in the Motion of a Rigid Particle along a Wall in a Fluid

The results of an experimental investigation of spherical particles with different surface roughnesses rolling under their own weight down an inclined pipe wall in a Newtonian fluid at low Reynolds numbers, both with (friction should be taken into account) and without contact with the wall, are presented. It is shown that a fixed particle moves differently in different fluids with similar viscosities and densities. This fact, as well as the possibility of particle motion without contact with the wall, cannot be explained within the framework of the usual hydrodynamic theories. An example is the dependence of the particle motion on the static pressure.
