ROSSBY WAVES WITH THE CHANGE OF β

In this paper, the change of the Rossby parameter β with latitude is considered and the parameter γ≡-dβ/dy=2sinφ/a² is introduced and the β-plane approximation is extended into f=f₀+β₀y-γ₀y²/2 which includes the parameter γ. Such approximation closes further to practice especially in the high latitude regions.We give emphasis to the research of the effect of the parameter γ on the Rossby waves. It is seen that the effect of the parameter γ is remarkable in the high latitude regions. It can produce the Rossby waves caused by the pure parameter γ. And the phase speed formula of Rossby waves with the change of ft is generally given, which is degenerated into the well-known Rossby formula when γ₀=0. The researches also point out that when the change of β is regarded, even if the basic current u is a linear function of y the unstable modes can also take place. However,the parameter γ usually plays a stable part in the Rossby waves and it does affect the longitudinal scale and the structure of constant phase lines(trough-ridge lines)of Rossby waves and slow down the growing or decaying of Rossby waves.     

[0, k i]1 m -Factorizations Orthogonal to a Subgraph

Let G be a graph,k₁,…,k_m be positive integers. If the edges of graph G can be decomposed into some edge disjoint. [0,k₁]-factor. F₁,…,[0,k_m]-factor F_m, then we can say F={F₁,…,F_m, is a [0,k_i]_m¹-factorization of G. If H is a subgraph with m edges in graph G and |E(H)∩E(F_i)|=1 for all 1≤i≤m, then we can call that F is orthogonal to H. It is proved that if G is a..[0,k₁+…+k_m-m+1]-graph, H is a subgraph with m edges in G, then graph G has a. [0,k_i]₁^m-factorization orthogonal to H.     

On the free energy and variational theorem of elastic problem in thermal shock

In some investigations on variational principle for coupled thermoelastic problems, the free energy Φ(e_ij,θ) ,where the state variables are elastic strain e_ij and temperature increment θ, is expressed as Φ(e_ij,θ)=λ/2e_kke_ij=ue_k1e_k1-γe_kkθ-c/2 p θ²/T₀(0.1) This expression is employed only under the condition of |θ|≤T₀(absolute temperature of reference) But the value of temperature increment is great, even greater than T₀ in thermal shock. And the material properties (λ ,μ ,ν ,c , etc.) will not remain constant, they vary with θ. The expression of free energy for this condition.is derived in this paper. Equation (0.1) is its special case.Euler’s equations will be nonlinear while this expression of free energy has been introduced into variational theorem. In order to linearise, the time interval of thermal shock is divided into a number of time elements Δt_k, (Δt_k=t_k-t_k-1,k=1,2…,n), which are so small that the temperature increment θ_k within it is very small, too. Thus, the material properties may be defined by temperature field T_k-1=T(x₁,x₂,x₃,t_k-1) at instant t_k-1 , and the free energy Φ_k expressed by eg. (0.1) may be employed in element Δt_k.Hence the variational theorem will be expressed partly and approximately.     

Spatial instability of a swirling flow

The instability of a swirling flow of an inviscidand incompressible fluid is studied on the assumption that the wavenumber k=k_r + ik_i of the disturbance is complex while its frequency ω is real. This implies that the disturbance grows with distance along the axis of the swirling flow, but it does not grow with time. The occurrence of such disturbance is called spatial instability, in contrast to the temporal instability, in which k is a real number and ω=ω_r + iω_i is a complex one. The results show that spatial instability analysis is a useful tool for the comprehensive understanding of the instability behaviours of a swirling flow.

Stress analysis of plates with a circular hole reinforced by flange reinforcing member

This paper deals with the problem of stress analysis of plates with a circular hole reinforced by flange reinforcing member. The so called flange reinforcing member here means that the reinforcing member is built up by setting shapes or bars with any section shape on both sides of the plates along the edge of the hole. Two cases of external loads are considered. In one case the external loads are stressesσ_X^(∞),σ_Y^(∞),and τ_XY^(∞) acting at infinite point of the plate, and in the other the external loads are linear distributed normal stresses. The procedure of solving the problems mentioned above consists of three steps. Firstly, the reinforcing member is taken out from the plates and considered to be a circular bar being solved to determine its deformation under the action of radial force q₀(θ) and tangential force t₀(θ) which are forces acting upon each other between reinforcing member and plate. Secondly, the displacements of plate with a circular hole under the action of q₀(θ) and t₀(θ) and external loads are determined. Finally, forces q₀(θ) and t₀(θ) are obtained by the compatibility of deformations between reinforcing member and plate. Then the internal forces and displacements of reinforcing member and plate are deduced from q₀(θ) and t₀(θ) obtained.

On near-wall hot-wire measurements

A specially constructed hot-wire probe was used to obtain very near-wall velocity measurements in both a fully developed turbulent channel flow and flat plate boundary layer flow. The near-wall hot-wire probe, having been calibrated in a specially constructed laminar flow calibration rig, was used to measure the mean streamwise velocity profile, distributions of streamwise and spanwise intensities of turbulence and turbulence kinetic energy k in the viscous sublayer and beyond; these distributions compare very favorably with available DNS results obtained for channel flow. While low Reynolds number effects were clearly evident for the channel flow, these effects are much less distinct for the boundary layer flow. By assuming the dissipating range of eddy sizes to be statistically isotropic and the validity of Taylor's hypothesis, the dissipation rate ɛ _iso in the very near-wall viscous sublayer region and beyond was determined for both the channel and boundary layer flows. It was found that if the convective velocity U _c in Taylor's hypothesis was assumed to be equal to the mean velocity Uˉ at the point of measurement, the value of (ɛ⁺ _iso)₁ thus obtained agrees well with that of (ɛ ⁺)_DNS for y ⁺ ≥ 80 for channel flow; this suggests the validity of assuming U _c=Uˉ and local isotropy for large values of y ⁺. However, if U _c was assumed to be 10.6u _τ , the value of (ɛ⁺ _iso)₂ thus obtained was found to compare reasonably well with the distribution of (ɛ⁺ _iso)_DNS for y ⁺≤ 15.

High Reynolds Number Flow past a Plate Mounted at a Small Angle of Attack

A plane incompressible fluid flow past a plate mounted in a homogeneous stream at a small angle of attack ^* is investigated on the basis of an asymptotic analysis of the Navier-Stokes equations at high Reynolds numbers (Re). In the neighborhood of the leading edge the flow structure is studied in detail. It is found that separation is initiated in a small vicinity of the leading edge at and the length of the slow reverse stream zone is of the order O(1) at . The nonuniqueness of the solution is detected at and the hysteresis phenomenon is explained. It is shown that under certain conditions the solutions obtained also hold for flows past bodies of small thickness.

Unsteady flow in an annulus between two concentric rotating spheres

An analysis is presented for the unsteady laminar flow of an incompressible Newtonian fluid in an annulus between two concentric spheres rotating about a common axis of symmetry. A solution of the Navier-Stokes equations is obtained by employing an iterative technique. The solution is valid for small values of Reynolds numbers and acceleration parameters of the spheres. In applying the results of this analysis to a rotationally accelerating sphere, a virtual moment of intertia is introduced to account for the local inertia of the fluid.Nomenclature R _i radius of the inner sphere - R _o radius of the outer sphere - radial coordinate - r dimensionless radial coordinate, - meridional coordinate - azimuthal coordinate - time - t dimensionless time, - Re _i instantaneous Reynolds number of the inner sphere, _i R _k ² / - Re _o instantaneous Reynolds number of the outer sphere, _o R _o ² / - radial velocity component - V _r dimensionless radial velocity component, - meridional velocity component - V dimensionless meridional velocity component, - azimuthal velocity component - V dimensionless azimuthal velocity component, - viscous torque - T dimensionless viscous torque, - viscous torque at surface of inner sphere - T _i dimensionless viscous torque at surface of inner sphere, - viscous torque at surface of outer sphere - T _o dimensionless viscous torque at surface of outer sphere, - externally applied torque on inner sphere - T _p,i dimensionless applied torque on inner sphere, - moment of inertia of inner sphere - Z _i dimensionless moment of inertia of inner sphere, - virtual moment of inertia of inner sphere - Z _i,v dimensionless virtual moment of inertia of inner sphere, - virtual moment of inertia of outer sphere - _i instantaneous angular velocity of the inner sphere - _o instantaneous angular velocity of the outer sphere - density of fluid - viscosity of fluid - kinematic viscosity of fluid,/ - radius ratio,R _i/R _o - swirl function, - dimensionless swirl function, - stream function - dimensionless stream function, - _i acceleration parameter for the inner sphere, - _o acceleration parameter for the outer sphere, - shear stress - _r dimensionless shear stress,

Optimal cupolas of uniform strength: Spherical M-shells and axisymmetric T-shells

Summary The first part of this paper is concerned with the optimal design of spherical cupolas obeying the von Mises yield condition. Five different load combinations, which all include selfweight, are investigated. The second part of the paper deals with the optimal quadratic meridional shape of cupolas obeying the Tresca yield condition, considering selfweight plus the weight of a non-carrying uniform cover. It is established that at long spans some non-spherical Tresca cupolas are much more economical than spherical ones.
