Previous studies have extended Benjamin's theory for an inertial steady-state gravity current of density $\rho _{c}$ in a homogeneous ambient fluid of density $\rho _{o} < \rho _{c}$ to the counterpart propagation in a linearly stratified (Boussinesq) ambient (density decreases from $\rho _b$ to $\rho _{o}$ ). The extension is typified by the parameter $S = (\rho _{b}-\rho _{o})/(\rho _{c}-\rho _{o}) \in (0,1]$ , uses Long's solution for the flow over a topography to model the flow of the ambient over the gravity current, and reduces well to the classical theory for small and moderate values of $S$ . However, for $S=1$ , i.e. $\rho _b = \rho _c$ , which corresponds to a symmetric intrusion, various idiosyncrasies appear. Here attention is focused on this case. The control-volume analysis (balance of volume, mass, momentum and vorticity) produces a fairly compact analytical formulation, pending a closure for the head loss, and subject to stability criteria (no inverse stratification downstream). However, we show that plausible closures that work well for the non-stratified current (like zero head loss on the stagnation line, or zero vorticity diffusion) do not produce satisfactory results for the intrusion (except for some small ranges of the height ratio of current to channel, $a = h/H$ ). The reasons and insights are discussed. Accurate data needed for comparison with the theoretical model are scarce, and a message of this paper is that dedicated experiments and simulations are needed for the clarification and improvement of the theory.

An injection pump is one of the simplest mechanics devices imaginable with no moving parts and a very simple geometry. We examine the device performance for steam injectors using primarily a control volume analysis and consider to what extent this simplified analysis represents optimal performance. We seek the rationale for performing CFD studies and develop optimization scenarios.

Small aerial vehicles possess advantages in terms of size and accessibility in performing a variety of tasks. Presently, their design and performance is dependent on variations of conventional aerodynamic configurations (fixed- and rotary-wing). A disadvantage for these configurations is the aerodynamic potential between the mainstream airflow and the body surfaces are not fully utilized. To solve this issue, the Coandă effect is proposed whereby a high-velocity jet is blown tangentially over a curved surface to increase circulation and lift. Prior to the costly approach (experimental and numerical), an analytical formulation (via control volume analysis) to predict the aerodynamic Coandă lift force of the design concept is developed. This is an extended version of the existing mathematical formulations, capturing viscous flow effects. It is also pertinent for circular and elliptical-shaped designs. The results obtained show that the total lift force is dependent on the jet velocity, outflow angle, dimensions of the jet slot, the projected surface area, and the viscous effect. The approach has demonstrated how this modelling technique is effective in calculating the lift force for cylindrical and elliptical Coandă aircraft design.

SummaryThe inviscid interaction resulting from the penetration of a jet of air into the throat region of a bounded mainstream flow is investigated analytically and experimentally. Taking into account the effects of jet shocks, a control volume analysis is used to calculate the mainstream and jet conditions at the boundaries of the interaction region. These results are then used to estimate the shape of the interface separating the jet and mainstream. Particular attention is given to the throttling of the mainstream flow and the analytical predictions show agreement with the experimental measurements.

Rate-of-momentum measurements of transient fuel sprays are valuable for improving current combustion and emission strategies. This data provides boundary conditions for engine computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations and provides insight into the transient mixing characteristics of the spray prior to and during combustion. Previous researchers have quantified the rate-of-momentum of transient sprays using the impingement technique, but uncertainties remain in relating the impingement force to the injected fuel momentum at the nozzle exit. Rate-of-momentum measurements are typically performed by directing a spray onto the face of a calibrated transducer in close proximity to the nozzle. The measured impingement force is then used to quantify the rate-of-momentum at the nozzle orifice exit with the aid of a simplified control volume analysis. However, under elevated back pressures, additional terms in the control volume analysis are no longer negligible. Other non-idealities, such as non-orthogonal droplet impingement outcomes and transient mass accumulation in the control volume, can also contribute to errors in the simplified analysis. This paper investigates the impact of non-idealities in impingement-based rate-of-momentum measurements on the quantified fuel injection rate. In specific, we compare the measured rate-of-momentum under back pressure and atmospheric pressure using two different transducers to quantify uncertainties that can arise under back pressure conditions. Uncertainties associated with transient mass accumulation and non-orthogonal spray deflection are also investigated. We found that back pressure affected both the start and end of injection when compared to atmospheric pressure. Under back pressure, there was a lengthened apparent start-of-injection transient, which likely results from a low pressure toroidal vortex occurring at the head of the spray. In addition, there was a longer apparent closing transient, which is likely a result of residual pressure distribution after the end-of-injection. No evidence of transient mass accumulation was observed for the injectors used in this study. Lastly, the transient spray was observed to deflect non-orthogonally from the impact point on the transducer instead of remaining parallel to the transducer face after initial impact. This deflection of the spray leads to uncertainties when quantifying the rate-of-momentum, where the apparent rate-of-momentum could be larger than the actual value.
