Buoyancy Sustained by Viscous Dissipation

The quasi-parallel regime of a Darcy–Boussinesq boundary-layer flow over a permeable vertical flat plate adjacent to a fluid saturated porous medium is considered. Quasi-parallel means here a plane flow with a constant transversal velocity v=–v ₀ directed perpendicularly towards the vertical surface, where a lateral suction with the same velocity –v ₀ is applied. The plate is held at a constant temperature T _w which coincides with the ambient temperature T of the fluid. The heat released by viscous dissipation induces a density gradient in the fluid. Thus, although T _w=T , a thermal convection occurs. The steady regime of this self-sustaining buoyant flow has been examined in detail. Wall jet-like profiles with a continuous but finite spectrum of the momentum flow have been found. These self-sustaining buoyant jets show a universal behavior, that is, there exist certain length, velocity and temperature scales such that the flow characteristics become independent of the (constant) material properties of the fluid and the porous medium as well.     

Flow and heat transfer in a moving fluid over a moving flat surface

In this paper, a numerical analysis of the momentum and heat transfer of an incompressible fluid past a parallel moving sheet based on composite reference velocity U is carried out. A single set of equations has been formulated for both momentum and thermal boundary layer problems containing the following parameters: r the ratio of the free stream velocity to the composite reference velocity, σ (Prandtl number) the ratio of the momentum diffusivity of the fluid to its thermal diffusivity, and E _c (E _ck ) (Eckert number). The present study has been carried out in the domain 0 ≤ r ≤ 1. It is found that the direction of the wall shear changes in such an interval and an increase of the parameter r yields an increase in temperature.      

Thermal and mechanical analysis of material response to non-steady ramp and steady shock wave loading

Ramp wave experiments on the Sandia Z accelerator provide a new approach to study the rapid compression response of materials at pressures, temperatures and stress or strain rates not attainable in conventional shock experiments. Due to its shockless nature, the ramp wave experiment is often termed as an isentropic (or quasi-isentropic) compression experiment (ICE). However, in reality there is always some entropy produced when materials are subjected to large amplitude compression even under shockless loading. The entropy production mechanisms that cause deformation to deviate from the isentropic process can be attributed to mechanical and thermal dissipations. The former is due to inelasticity associated with various deformation mechanisms and the rate effect that is inherent in all the deformation processes and the latter is due to irreversible heat conduction. The main purpose of the current study is to gain insights into the effects of ramp and shock loading on the entropy production and thermomechanical responses of materials. Another purpose is to investigate the role of heat conduction in the material response to both the non-steady ramp wave and steady shock.Numerical simulations are used to address the aforementioned research objectives. The thermomechanical response associated with a steady shock wave is investigated first by solving a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Using the steady wave solutions as the reference, the material responses under non-steady ramp waves are then studied with numerical wave propagation simulation. It is demonstrated that the material response to ramp and shock loading is essentially a manifestation of the interaction between the time scale associated with the loading and the intrinsic time scales associated with mechanical deformation and heat transfer. At lower loading rates as encountered in ramp loading, the loading path is closer to an isentrope and results in lower entropy production. The reasonable ramp rate to obtain a quasi-isentropic state depends on the intrinsic time scales of the dissipation mechanisms which are strongly material dependent. Thus shockless loading does not necessarily produce an isentropic response. Between two equilibrium states, heat conduction was shown to have significant effect on the temperature history but it contributes little to the overall temperature change if the specific heat remains constant. It also affects the history of entropy, but only the irreversible part of heat conduction contributes to the net entropy change. The various types of thermomechanical responses of materials would manifest themselves more significantly in terms of the thermal history than the mechanical history. Thus temperature measurement appears to be an important experimental tool in distinguishing the various mechanisms for the thermomechancial responses of the materials.     

Periodic structures developing with account for dispersion in a turbulence model

Wave processes are studied within the framework of a turbulence model that describes the reaction-diffusion processes in physicochemical hydrodynamics [{xc1}–{xc5}]. For certain parameters of the equation, exact analytical traveling-wave solutions in the form of kinks are obtained. In the general case, the wave processes can be analyzed using numerical simulation. It is confirmed that for a zero dispersion coefficient the nonlinear wave processes are disordered. It is established that when the dispersion terms are taken into account, as for the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, periodic structures develop in the system starting from a certain threshold dispersion-coefficient value.     

Detachment of a rigid solid from an elastic wavy surface: Theory

The mechanics of detachment between a wavy elastic half space and a rigid solid is considered. Solutions for the axisymmetric problem of a rigid sphere and the plane strain problem of a rigid cylinder detaching from a wavy surface are developed. The interacting solids are taken to be in complete contact over a finite area initially. It is shown that the surface waviness makes the detachment process unstable, with the interface separating in alternating stable and unstable segments. Each unstable segment dissipates mechanical energy, leading to an increase in the total work of separation compared to that of a flat surface. Further, waviness causes the maximum separation force or the pull-off force to increase during detachment, resulting in an apparent toughening of the interface. This mechanism provides an alternative explanation to the experimental observations in the literature that roughness can sometimes lead to increase in pull-off force. It also illustrates the role of roughness in the attachment capability of several insect feet possessing soft pads. The basic solution presented here can be used to analyze the detachment of surfaces with multiple scale roughness as well. The solution also suggests strategies to improve reversible adhesion of a soft material by designing optimal surface topographies.

Dissipative Waves in a Relaxing Gas Exhibiting Mixed Nonlinearity

We consider a weakly dissipative quasilinear system of PDEs, governingthe unsteady one-dimensional motion of a relaxing gas, and investigatethe effects ofhigher order terms and the source term, present in the differentialsystem, on the wave motion associated with it. The undisturbed stateof the medium, which is assumed to be uniform and at restadmits mixed nonlinearity, i.e., the quadratic nonlinearity parameter inherent in the system changes sign depending on the basestate. The method of multiple scales is employed to determine theevolution equation governing small perturbations to the state where is of O(), and the effects of nonlinearity arenoticeable over times of order O(^–2).
