A visualization study of the interaction of a free vortex with the wake behind an airfoil

The two-dimensional interaction of a single vortex with a thin symmetrical airfoil and its vortex wake has been investigated in a low turbulence wind tunnel having velocity of about 2 m/s in the measuring section. The flow Reynolds number based on the airfoil chord length was 4.5 × 10³. The investigation was carried out using a smoke-wire visualization technique with some support of standard hot-wire measurements. The experiment has proved that under certain conditions the vortex-airfoil-wake interaction leads to the formation of new vortices from the part of the wake positioned closely to the vortex. After the formation, the vortices rotate in the direction opposite to that of the incident vortex.List of symbols c test airfoil chord - C vortex generator airfoil chord - TA test airfoil - TE test airfoil trailing edge - TE _G vortex generator airfoil trailing edge - t dimensionless time-interval measured from the vortex passage by the test airfoil trailing edge: gDt=(T-T- _TE)·U/c - T time-interval measured from the start of VGA rotation - U free stream velocity - U vortex induced velocity fluctuation - VGA vortex generator airfoil - y distance in which the vortex passes the test airfoil - Z vortex circulation coefficient: Z=/(U · c/2) - vortex generator airfoil inclination angle - vortex circulation - vortex strength: =/2     

Diffusion in anisotropic porous media

An experimental system was constructed in order to measure the two distinct components of the effective diffusivity tensor in transversely isotropic, unconsolidated porous media. Measurements were made for porous media consisting of glass spheres, mica particles, and disks made from mylar sheets. Both the particle geometry and the void fraction of the porous media were determined experimentally, and theoretical calculations for the two components of the effective diffusivity tensor were carried out. The comparison between theory and experiment clearly indicates that the void fraction and particle geometry are insufficient to characterize the process of diffusion in anisotropic porous media.

Theoretical and experimental investigations of low Mach number turbulent cavity flows

Theoretical and experimental investigations are conducted for rectangular cavities of varying sizes in low Mach number turbulent flows. Emphasis is put on the characterization of the generation of self-sustained oscillations in order to develop methods of active control applied to the aeroacoustics of cavity flows. A linearized stability analysis for low Mach number flows is proposed in which the interface of the cavity is modeled by a vorticity layer. Subsequently, the cavity flow is investigated experimentally in a subsonic wind tunnel, using pressure measurements and a phase-locked particle image velocimetry system. Experimental results indicate that the oscillation process is governed by convective waves, with no definite influence of convected vortical structures. The good agreement between the experimental data and the predictions given by the model allows the identification of the oscillations of the cavity interface via the parameters issued from the theoretical analysis.List of symbols c speed of sound, m/s - f frequency, Hz - G Greens function - h displacement of the vorticity layer, m - K_R Rayleigh conductivity of the aperture, m - k₀ acoustic wavenumber, rad/m - k,n, Rossiter formula parameters - M Mach number of the freestream - pressure, Pa - Q volume flux, m³/s - Re_L Reynolds number Re_L=UL/ - Re_x1 Reynolds number Re_x1=Ux₁/ - Re Reynolds number Re=U/ - S frequency based Strouhal number - T period, s - t time, s - U,U,U^± freestream velocity, m/s - v velocity, m/s - W,L,D model cavity dimensions, m - w,l,d analytical cavity dimensions, m - x,y Cartesian coordinates, m - boundary-layer thickness, m - vorticity thickness, m - * boundary-layer displacement thickness, m - ,^± velocity potential, m²/s - acoustic wavelength, m - kinematic viscosity, m²/s - boundary-layer momentum thickness, m - ₀ density, kg/m³ - pulsation based Strouhal number - angular frequency, rad/s - vorticity, s ^–1 - , non-dimensional coordinates x₁,y₁ - non-dimensional displacement h     

The theory of a vibrating-rod viscometer

The paper presents a complete theory for a viscometer based upon the principle of a circular-section rod, immersed in a fluid, performing transverse oscillations perpendicular to its axis. The theory is established as a result of a detailed analysis of the fluid flow around the rod and is subject to a number of criteria which subsequently constrain the design of an instrument. Using water as an example it is shown that a practical instrument can be designed so as to enable viscosity measurement with an accuracy of ±0.1%, although it is noted that many earlier instruments failed to satisfy one or more of the newly-established constraints.Nomenclature A, D constants in equation (46) - A _m , B _m , C _m , D _m constants in equations (50) and (51) - A _j , B _j constants in equation (14) - a _j ⁺ , a _j ^– wavenumbers given by equation (15) - C _f drag coefficient defined in equation (53) - c speed of sound - D _b drag force of fluid b - D ₀ coefficient of internal damping - E extensional modulus - f(z) initial deformation of rod - f(), F _m () functions of defined in equation (41) - F force in the rod - force per unit length near t=0 - F dimensionless force per unit length near t=0 - g _m amplitude of transient force - G modulus of rigidity - h, h* functions defined by equations (71) and (72) - H functions defined by equation (69) and (70) - I second moment of area - I _0,1, J _0,1, K _0,1 modified Bessel functions - k, k functions defined in equations (2) - L half-length of oscillator - Ma Mach number - m _b added mass per unit length of fluid b - m _s mass per unit length of solid - n _j eigenvalue defined in equations (15) and (16) - R radius of rod - R _c radius of container - r radial coordinate - T tension - T _visc temperature rise due to heat generation by viscous dissipation - t time - v _r , v radial and angular velocity components - y lateral displacement - y ₀ initial lateral displacement - y ₁, y ₂ successive maximum lateral displacement - z axial coordinate - dimensionless tension - dimensionless mass of fluid - dimensionless drag of fluid - amplification factor - logarithmic decrement in a fluid - _a , _b logarithmic decrement in fluids a and b - ₀ logarithmic decrement in vacuo - _j logarithmic decrement in mode j in a fluid - spatial resolution of amplitude - _v voltage resolution - r, , , _s, , increments in R, , , _s , , - dimensionless amplitude of oscillation - dimensionless axial coordinate - angular coordinate - _f thermal conductivity of fluid - viscosity of fluid - viscosity of fluid calculated on assumption that * - _a , _b viscosity of fluids a and b - _m constants in equation (10) - dimensionless displacement - _j j the component of - density of fluid - _a , _b density of fluids a and b - _s density of tube or rod material - dimensionless radial coordinate - * dimensionless radius of container - dimensionless times - spatial component of defined in equation (11) - _j , _tm jth, mth component of - dimensionless streamfunction - ⁰, ¹ components of in series expansion in powers of - streamfunction - dimensionless frequency (based on ) - angular frequency - ₀ angular frequency in absence of fluid and internal damping - _j angular frequency in mode j in a fluid - _a , _b frequencies in fluids a and b     

Supersonic nonequilibrium flow past segmental bodies of a mixture simulating the atmosphere of venus

Calculations of the flow of the mixture 0.94 CO₂+0.05 N₂+0.01 Ar past the forward portion of segmentai bodies are presented. The temperature, pressure, and concentration distributions are given as a function of the pressure ahead of the shock wave and the body velocity. Analysis of the concentration distribution makes it possible to formulate a simplified model for the chemical reaction kinetics in the shock layer that reflects the primary flow characteristics. The density distributions are used to verify the validity of the binary similarity law throughout the shock layer region calculated.The flow of a CO₂+N₂+Ar gas mixture of varying composition past a spherical nose was examined in [1]. The basic flow properties in the shock layer were studied, particularly flow dependence on the free-stream CO₂ and N₂ concentration.New revised data on the properties of the Venusian atmosphere have appeared in the literature [2, 3] One is the dominant CO₂ concentration. This finding permits more rigorous formulation of the problem of blunt body motion in the Venus atmosphere, and attention can be concentrated on revising the CO₂ thermodynamic and kinetic properties that must be used in the calculation.The problem of supersonic nonequilibrium flow past a blunt body is solved within the framework of the problem formulation of [4].Notation V body velocity - shock wave standoff - universal gas constant - ratio of frozen specific heats - hRt/m enthalpy per unit mass undisturbed stream P pressure - density - T temperature - m molecular weight - c_p specific heat at constant pressure - (X) concentration of component X (number of particles in unit mass) - R body radius of curvature at the stagnation point - _j rate of j-th chemical reaction shock layer P V ² pressure - density - TT temperature - mm molecular weight Translated from Izv.

On nonlinear problems of mixed type: A qualitative theory using infinite-dimensional center manifolds

We consider the equation a(y)u_xx+div_y(b(y)_yu)+c(y)u=g(y, u) in the cylinder (–l,l)×, being elliptic where b(y)>0 and hyperbolic where b(y)<0. We construct self-adjoint realizations in L₂() of the operatorAu= (1/a) div_y(b_yu)+(c/a) in the case ofb changing sign. This leads to the abstract problem u_xx+Au=g(u), whereA has a spectrum extending to + as well as to –. For l= it is shown that all sufficiently small solutions lie on an infinite-dimensional center manifold and behave like those of a hyperbolic problem. Anx-independent cross-sectional integral E=E(u, u_x) is derived showing that all solutions on the center manifold remain bounded forx ±. For finitel, all small solutionsu are close to a solution on the center manifold such that u(x)-(x) Ce ^-(1-|x|) for allx, whereC and are independent ofu. Hence, the solutions are dominated by hyperbolic properties, except close to the terminal ends {±1}×, where boundary layers of elliptic type appear.     

Chaos and integrability in a nonlinear wave equation

For =1 we prove the existence of infinitely many first integrals pairwise in involution.     

The rheology of polymeric liquid crystals

The molecular theory of Doi has been used as a framework to characterize the rheological behavior of polymeric liquid crystals at the low deformation rates for which it was derived, and an appropriate extension for high deformation rates is presented. The essential physics behind the Doi formulation has, however, been retained in its entirety. The resulting four-parameter equation enables prediction of the shearing behavior at low and high deformation rates, of the stress in extensional flows, of the isotropic-anisotropic phase transition and of the molecular orientation. Extensional data over nearly three decades of elongation rate (10^–2–10¹) and shearing data over six decades of shear rate (10^–2–10⁴) have been correlated using this analysis. Experimental data are presented for both homogeneous and inhomogeneous shearing stress fields. For the latter, a 20-fold range of capillary tube diameters has been employed and no effects of system geometry or the inhomogeneity of the flow-field are observed. Such an independence of the rheological properties from these effects does not occur for low molecular weight liquid crystals and this is, perhaps, the first time this has been reported for polymeric lyotropic liquid crystals; the physical basis for this major difference is discussed briefly.

Effect of radial and rotational lubricant inertia on the pressure distribution in externally pressurised thrust bearings

Expressions are obtained for the pressure distribution in an externally pressurised thrust bearing for the condition when one bearing surface is rotated. The influence of centripetal acceleration and the combined effect of rotational and radial inertia terms are included in the analysis. Rotation of the bearing causes the lubricant to have a velocity component in an axial direction towards the rotating surface as it spirals radially outwards between the bearing surfaces. This results in an increase in the pumping losses and a decrease in the load capacity of the bearing. A further loss in the performance of the bearing is found when the radial inertia term, in addition to the rotational inertia term is included in the analysis.Nomenclature r, z, cylindrical co-ordinates - V _r, V , V _z velocity components in the r, and z directions respectively - U, X, W representative velocities - coefficient of viscosity - p static pressure at radius r - p mean static pressure at radius r - Q volume flow per unit time - 2h lubricant film thickness - density of the lubricant - r ₂ outside radius of bearing = D/2 - angular velocity of bearing - R dimensionless radius = r/h - P dimensionless pressure = h ³ p/Q - Re channel Reynolds number = Q/h     

Spectral and correlation characteristics of the turbulent boundary layer on an extended flexible cylinder

In marine geophysical seismological prospecting extensive use is made of towed receiving systems consisting of extended flexible cylinders containing acoustic sensors over which the water flows in the longitudinal direction. The boundary layer pressure fluctuations on the cylinder surface are picked up by the sensors as hydrodynamic noise. This paper is concerned with the study of the energy and spacetime characteristics of the pressure fluctuations in the turbulent boundary layer on an extended flexible cylinder in a longitudinal flow. The pressure fluctuations on the cylinder surface have been investigated experimentally for Re_X=(2–4)·10⁷, a dimensionless diameter of the pressure fluctuation sensors d _p ⁺ =d_pu^*/=500, where d_p is the sensor diameter, u^* the dynamic viscosity, and the viscosity coefficient, and frequencies 0.02311.259 (=^*/U). The spectral and correlation characteristics of the pressure fluctuations on the surface of the flexible cylinder are found to differ from the corresponding characteristics for a rigid cylinder [1–4].Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i aza, No, 5, pp. 49–54, September–October, 1989.     

Anomalous transport phenomena in rapid external flows of viscoelastic fluids

Summary The concept of an elastic boundary layer is proposed to explain certain anomalous transport phenomena which occur during rapid external flows of viscoelastic fluids past immersed objects. Reported experimental observations are interpreted by using models based on this concept. Particularly, data on velocity independent drag and heat transfer coefficients for flow of dilute polymer solutions past tiny cylinders are satisfactorily correlated.

The theory of a vibrating-rod densimeter

The paper presents a theory of a device for the accurate determination of the density of fluids over a wide range of thermodynamic states. The instrument is based upon the measurement of the characteristics of the resonance of a circular section tube, or rod, performing steady, transverse oscillations in the fluid. The theory developed accounts for the fluid motion external to the rod as well as the mechanical motion of the rod and is valid over a defined range of conditions.

The cooling characteristics of a low-heat-resistance sheet moving through a fluid have been studied for arbitrary power law stretching. The momentum transfer is governed by an equation that resembles the Falkner-Skan equation with stretching as a parameter. For the thermal problem, locally similar solutions have been obtained for small and large values of the streamwise distance. The convergence of low series has been improved by Euler transformation to yield results valid for all values of.
