Momentum transfer in an agitated vessel with off-centred impellers

Momentum transfer was investigated in an unbaffled agitated vessel of inner diameter 0.3 m equipped with different off-centred impellers. The distribution of the shear rate on the tank wall as a function of the impeller type and Reynolds number was studied in the turbulent regime of the Newtonian liquid flow. The dependences of the averaged dimensionless shear rate, friction coefficient, and dissipated energy on the Reynolds number and eccentricity ratio were approximated using four-parameter equations.

考虑壁面滑移的Z-W流变模型及其应用

总结了聚合物熔体在剪切溶场壁面滑移研究的成果，提出了Z－W模型的物理概念。该模型考虑了界面分子链和固体壁面间解吸－吸附而发生的滑移。界面分子链和内部分子链间解缠－重新缠结而发生的表观滑移以及变形摩擦滑移。在稳态简单剪切流运过程，模型可以化简为应力和应变的二次微分方程，说明了壁面滑移来源于Cohesive滑移和Adhesive滑移两部分，对于自激振荡相关的多重内振荡和多重外振荡进行了归纳，应用统一模型定性地解释了毛细管实验中剪切应力的非线性，瞬态自激振荡、滑－粘转换和鲨鱼皮等现象，在聚合物熔体振动剪切流动（LAOS）中，统一模型可以简化为杜芬方程，通过模拟发现，该模型可解释小应变振幅下振动剪切时的线性流变行为和在大振幅振动流动中的复杂非线性行为。非线性行为与熔体粘弹性以及近壁面界面层的性质有关，统一模型在特殊情况下还可以简化Joshi模型，结构网络模型，Hatzikiriakos或等效的Graham模型，可见，Z－W模型内内涵比较丰富，适用面较广，也从一个侧面说明该模型具有相当的合理性。     

Real-time onboard wind and windshear determination,part 2: Detection

This paper is concerned with windshear detection in connection with real-time wind identification (Ref. 1). It presents a comparative evaluation of two techniques, one based on the shear/downdraft factor and one based on the wind difference index. The comparison is done with reference to a particular microburst, that which caused the 1985 crash of Flight Delta 191 at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.The shear/downdraft factor has the merit of combining the effects of the shear and the downdraft into a single entity. However, its effectiveness is hampered by the fact that, in a real situation, the windshear is accompanied by free-stream turbulence, which tends to blur the resulting signal. In turn, this results in undesirable nuisance warnings if the magnitude of the shear factor due to free-stream turbulence is temporarily larger than that due to true windshear. Therefore, proper filtering is necessary prior to using the shear/downdraft factor in detection and guidance. One effective way for achieving this goal is to average the shear/downdraft factor over a specified time interval . The effect of on the average shear/downdraft factor is studied.     

Lattice-BGK approach to simulating granular flows

Many continuum theories for granular flow produce an equation of motion for the fluctuating kinetic energy density (granular temperature) that accounts for the energy lost in inelastic collisions. Apart from the presence of an extra dissipative term, this equation is very similar in form to the usual temperature equation in hydrodynamics. It is shown how a lattice-kinetic model based on the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) equation that was previously derived for a miscible two-component fluid may be modified to model the continuum equations for granular flow. This is done by noting that the variable corresponding to the concentration of one species follows an equation that is essentially analogous to the granular temperature equation. A simulation of an unforced granular fluid using the modified model reproduces the phenomenon of clustering instability, namely the spontaneous agglomeration of particles into dense clusters, which occurs generically in all granular flows. The success of the continuum theory in capturing the gross features of this basic phenomenon is discussed. Some shear flow simulations are also presented.     

Characterization of the organization in shear layers via the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition

Experiments are performed in an incompressible plane turbulent mixing layer, using various hot wire rake configurations. From these experiments, the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition is applied for kernels where the space-time correlation tensor is evaluated over different spatial meshes and velocity components configurations. The resulting decompositions are then discussed in terms of characterization of the organization of the flow for various scalar or vectorial approaches of the POD. An incrtial range law is evidenced. The instantaneous contribution of the first modes of the POD to the organization of the flow is analyzed. A dynamical behavior for the organization of the flow is observed from the correlation between the first two modes contribution.     

STUDY ON THE DUCTILE DEFORMATION DOMAIN OF THE SIMPLE SHEAR IN ROCKS——TAKING BRITTLE FAULTS OF THE COVERING STRATA IN THE SOUTHERN JIANGSU AREA AS AN EXAMPLE

A study on the ductile deformation domain of the brittle fault in the shallow level ofthe crust is a new probe field for the modern structural geology. Taking the southern Jiang-su Province area as an example the orientation measurement of quartz crystals, the com-positional texture observation of three pressure sensitive minerals and the rheological param-eter determination of dislocation densities, etc. have been demonstrated and analysed basedon typical samples in the present paper. In addition, their generation mechanisms arealso discussed from the cataclastic rheology, the dynamic differentiation and the simpleshearing, specially, from the Ode strength theory. Finally, a generative relationship betweenthe ductile deformation domain of the brittle fault system, in the regional layer--slip andthe formation of the stratabound ore deposit is shown as well.     

Spreading of viscous droplets on a non viscous liquid

Some polymer melts (of high viscosity ) can wet completely the surface of a non miscible, simple liquid. We discuss here the laws of spreading for a macroscopic droplet of this type, when the internal friction of the droplet dominates. We predict a droplet radius increasing liket ^1/4 wheret is the spreading time, or equivalently a droplet curvature decreasing liket ^–1. The droplet should be surrounded by a precursor film, which is not discussed in the present note.

Surface viscoelasticity of phospholipid monolayers at the air/water interface

The surface viscoelastic properties of monolayers of two phospholipids DPPC (L--dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine) and DMPE (L--dimyristoylphosphatidyl-ethanolamin), at the air-water interface have been investigated. Two techniques were used for the investigation. One involved use of an interfacial shear rheometer (torsion pendulum apparatus ISR1), to provide measurements of the shear viscosity _s as a function of surface pressure, and the second, a modified LB trough with an oscillating barrier to generate periodie dilation and compression so as to measure the dilational elastic modulusE as a function of surface area.Results indicate a strong dependence of _s andE upon monolayer phases. This suggests that the viscoelastic relaxation of monolayers can be understood as molecular rearrangements, domain exchange and molecular reorientations between different monolayer states.
