Oblique interactions of weakly nonlinear long waves in dispersive systems

Studies on the oblique interactions of weakly nonlinear long waves in dispersive systems are surveyed. We focus mainly our concentration on the two-dimensional interaction between solitary waves. Two-dimensional Benjamin–Ono (2DBO) equation, modified Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (MKP) equation and extended Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (EKP) equation as well as the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation are treated. It turns out that a large-amplitude wave can be generated due to the oblique interaction of two identical solitary waves in the 2DBO and the MKP equations as well as in the KP-II equation. Recent studies on exact solutions of the KP equation are also surveyed briefly.     

Magnetohydrodynamic interaction in hypersonic air flow past a blunt body

Hypersonic MHD air flow past a blunt body in the presence of an external magnetic field is considered. The MHD effect on the flow consists in a significant increase in the shock wave stand-off from the body surface and a significant reduction in the heat flux to the wall (up to 50%). It is shown that even in the presence of a strong Hall effect the intensity of the magnetohydrodynamic interaction in the plasma behind the shock wave remains at a high level commensurable with the ideal case of the absence of a Hall effect.     

A NOVEL SEMI-ANALYTICAL METHOD FOR SOLVING ACOUSTIC RADIATION FROM LONGITUDINALLY STIFFENED INFINITE NON-CIRCULAR CYLINDRICAL SHELLS IN WATER

Based on the extended homogeneous capacity high precision integration method and the spectrum method of virtual boundary with a complex radius vector, a novel semi-analytical method, which has satisfactory computation effectiveness and precision, is presented for solving the acoustic radiation from a submerged infinite non-circular cylindrical shell stiffened by longitudinal ribs by means of the Fourier integral transformation and stationary phase method. In this work,besides the normal interacting force, which is commonly adopted by some researchers, the other interacting forces and moments between the longitudinal ribs and the non-circular cylindrical shell are considered at the same time. The effects of the number and the size of the cross-section of longitudinal ribs on the characteristics of acoustic radiation are investigated. Numerical results show that the method proposed is more efficient than the existing mixed FE-BE method.

General solution for interaction of solitary waves including head-on collisions

A general solution of the Boussinesq equation is presented which solves the problem of interaction of any number of right-going and left-going solitary waves. The solution relies on the exact solution of Gardner, Greene, Kruskal, and Miura (1967), and has the same degree of accuracy as that solution, but has a wider scope of application. It is much simpler than, but as accurate as, Hirota's exact solution (1973) of the Boussinesq equation, to which the present solution is compared for the simplest case of two solitary waves in head-on collision.     

数值研究激波与旋涡的相互作用

从非定常形式的Euler方程出发,数值模拟了运动激波与旋涡相互作用的非定常流动过程。为保证激波具有较高的分辨率,采用对称型TVD格式进行了数值计算。结果表明。这样可以有效地模拟流场中一些复杂的流动现象,如激波变形、激波分叉和三波点的形成,以及旋涡结构的变化过程等,并与已有的实验流动显示相符良好。同时,也是对TVD格式求解这类问题的一次初步尝试。     

Unsteady interaction of shock wave diffracting around a circular cylinder in air

The reflection and diffraction of a planar shock wave around a circular cylinder are a typical problem of the complex nonlinear shock wave phenomena in literature. It has long been studied experimentally, analytically as well as numerically. Takayama in 1987 obtained clear experimental pictures of isopycnics in shock tube under the condition that the impinging shock wave propagates as far as 3 diameters away from the cylinder. To know more completely the whole unsteady process, it is desirable to get experimental results in a region which is more than 10 diameters away from the cylinder. This is what has been done in this paper by using the pulsed laser holographic interferometry for several shock Mach numbers of the impinging shock. Results for several moments are shown, giving more knowledge about the whole unsteady flow field. This is useful for a reliable and complete understanding of the changing force acting on the cylinder, and provides interesting data to check the performance of many recently developed high resolution numerical methods for unsteady shock wave calculation.

Driver gas contaminationin a detonation-driven reflected-shock tunnel

A computational study has been carried out to examine the effects of driver gas contamination in the NASA HYPULSE facility at GASL when operating with a detonation driver in reflected-shock tunnel mode. Unlike high-enthalpy shock tunnels which use helium as a driver gas, the driver gas in a detonation driver consists of a mixture of water vapour and argon, which has very different chemical and thermodynamic properties than those of helium. The purpose of the present work is to quantitatively evaluate the effects of driver gas contamination on the flow properties in the test section. Two computational analyses have been performed. The first analysis examined the nozzle flow under the influence of a prescribed level of driver gas contamination. In the second analysis, the transient development of the driver gas leakage in the reflected-shock region in the shock tube is studied. The unique flow features brought about by the detonation-driver gas and the method for detecting the contamination are discussed.Received: 6 August 2002, Revised: 22 September 2003, Published online: 10 February 2004Correspondence to: R.S.M.
