Basic in the treatment of collective rotations is the definition of a body-fixed coordinate system. A kinematical method is derived to obtain the Hamiltonian of a n-body problem for a given definition of the body-fixed system. From this exact Hamiltonian, a consequent perturbation expansion in terms of the total angular momentum leads to two exact expressions: one for the collective rotational energy which has to be added to the groundstate energy in this order of perturbation and a second one for the effective inertia tensor in the groundstate. The discussion of these results leads to two criteria how to define the best body-fixed coordinate system, namely a differential equation and a variational principle. The equivalence of both is shown.

AbstractSteady plane flow under gravity of a symmetric ice sheet resting on a horizontal rigid bed, subject to surface accumulation and ablation, basal drainage, and basal sliding according to a shear-traction-velocity power law, is treated. The surface accumulation is taken to depend on height, and the drainage and sliding coefficient also depend on the height of overlying ice. The ice is described as a general non-linearly viscous incompressible fluid, with illustrations presented for Glen’s power law, the polynomial law of Colbeck and Evans, and a Newtonian fluid. Uniform temperature is assumed so that effects of a realistic temperature distribution on the ice response are not taken into account. In dimensionless variables a small paramter ν occurs, but the ν = 0 solution corresponds to an unbounded sheet of uniform depth. To obtain a bounded sheet, a horizontal coordinate scaling by a small factor ε(ν) is required, so that the aspect ratio ε of a steady ice sheet is determined by the ice properties, accumulation magnitude, and the magnitude of the central thickness. A perturbation expansion in ε gives simple leading-order terms for the stress and velocity components, and generates a first order non-linear differential equation for the free-surface slope, which is then integrated to determine the profile. The non-linear differential equation can be solved explicitly for a linear sliding law in the Newtonian case. For the general law it is shown that the leading-order approximation is valid both at the margin and in the central zone provided that the power and coefficient in the sliding law satisfy certain restrictions.

Recirculating Flow

The flow induced by gravity about a very small heated isothermal sphere introduced into a fluid in hydrostatic equilibrium is studied. The natural-convection flow is taken to be steady and laminar. The conditions under which the Boussinesq model is a good approximation to the full conservation laws are described. For a concentric finite cold outer sphere with radius, in ratio to the heated sphere radius, roughly less than the Grashof number to the minus one-half power, a recirculating flow occurs; fluid rises near the inner sphere and falls near the outer sphere. For a small heated sphere in an unbounded medium an ordinary perturbation expansion essentially in the Grashof number leads to unbounded velocities far from the sphere; this singularity is the natural-convection analogue of the Whitehead paradox arising in three-dimensional low-Reynolds-number forced-convection flows. Inner-and-outer matched asymptotic expansions reveal the importance of convective transport away from the sphere, although diffusive transport is dominant near the sphere. Approximate solution is given to the nonlinear outer equations, first by seeking a similarity solution (in paraboloidal co-ordinates) for a point heat source valid far from the point source, and then by linearization in the manner of Oseen. The Oseen solution is matched to the inner diffusive solution. Both outer solutions describe a paraboloidal wake above the sphere within which the enthalpy decays slowly relative to the rapid decay outside the wake. The updraft above the sphere is reduced from unbounded growth with distance from the sphere to constant magnitude by restoration of the convective accelerations. Finally, the role of vertical stratification of the ambient density in eventually stagnating updrafts predicted on the basis of a constant-density atmosphere is discussed.

Breakup Time

A nonlinear stability analysis has been carried out for plane liquid sheets moving in a gas medium at rest by a perturbation expansion technique with the initial amplitude of the disturbance as the perturbation parameter. The first, second and third order governing equations have been derived along with appropriate initial and boundary conditions which describe the characteristics of the fundamental, and the first and second harmonics. The results indicate that for an initially sinusoidal sinuous surface disturbance, the thinning and subsequent breakup of the liquid sheet is due to nonlinear effects with the generation of higher harmonics as well as feedback into the fundamental. In particular, the first harmonic of the fundamental sinuous mode is varicose, which causes the eventual breakup of the liquid sheet at the half-wavelength interval of the fundamental wave. The breakup time (or length) of the liquid sheet is calculated, and the effect of the various flow parameters is investigated. It is found that the breakup time (or length) is reduced by an increase in the initial amplitude of disturbance, the Weber number and the gas-to-liquid density ratio, and it becomes asymptotically insensitive to the variations of the Weber number and the density ratio when their values become very large. It is also found that the breakup time (or length) is a very weak function of the wavenumber unless it is close to the cut-off wavenumbers.

Systematic Perturbation

Lubrication theory is broadly applicable to the flow characterization of thin fluid films and the motion of particles near surfaces. We offer an extension to lubrication theory by starting with Stokes equations and considering higher-order terms in a systematic perturbation expansion to describe the fluid flow in a channel with features of a modest aspect ratio. Experimental results qualitatively confirm the higher-order analytical solutions, while numerical results are in very good agreement with the higher-order analytical results. We show that the extended lubrication theory is a robust tool for an accurate estimate of pressure drop in channels with shape changes on the order of the channel height, accounting for both smooth and sharp changes in geometry.
