Reynolds Number Flows

Compressible flow in channels of slowly varying cross section at moderately high Reynolds numbers is treated in the paper by employing some Stewartson-type transformations that convert the problem into an incompressible one. Both adiabatic flow and isothermal flow are considered, and a Poiseuille-type incompressible solution is mapped onto compressible plane in order to generate some exact solutions of the compressible governing equations. The results show striking effects that viscosity may have upon the flow characteristics in this case, in comparison with more conventional high Reynolds number flows.

Countercurrent Shear

Countercurrent shear can be used in engineering applications to control flow structure and mixing. In the present paper a planar countercurrent shear flow is studied numerically using Large Eddy Simulation. Mean flow characteristics at a primary-jet Reynolds number of 14700 are studied for three values of a key parameter, the secondary to primary jet mass flow ratio (m˙s/m˙p), chosen to match reported measurements. The predicted flow results of time averaged flow field, Strouhal number and turbulence characteristics are compared with the experimentally available data. A change in instability modes is observed at mass flow ratios above m˙s/m˙p = 0.27 with more than 100% increase in the turbulence levels and distinct changes in spectral characteristics. Detailed spectral records along with landau modeling are used as evidence of existence of self excited global mode beyond a critical velocity ratio in the flow.

Jammed State

The densely packed assembly of granular materials subjected to slow deformations is studied experimentally in the 2D shear flow apparatus. High speed video camera and subsequent image processing techniques help to document the positions of the particles in the flow. Effective algorithms are formulated to determine the particle rotation, group size and local particle concentrations. Experimental results depict that the consecutive cycles of solid like (jammed) and fluid like (un-jammed) states characterize the flow. The jammed state is represented by negligible mobilization of particles, whereas the un-jammed state is represented by considerable mobilization of particles. The rotational and translational kinetic energy shares their dominancy in the jammed and un-jammed states respectively. Nevertheless, rotational counterpart also increases quite high in un-jammed state. There exists clearly a gradient of translational and rotational velocity across the shear cell especially in the un-jammed state indicating the phenomenon of strain localization. The un-jammed state originates because of the breaking and buckling of few columns near to the inner moving wall as noticed by previous researchers, and the jammed state regenerates once the broken and buckled columns regrouped into new columns. The dilatation phenomenon is found to be associated with the un-jamming states indicated by the drop in the local particle concentrations.
