Viscous Torque

The Navier-Stokes equations for the fluid motion induced by a disk rotating inside a cylindrical cavity have been integrated for several values of the boundary layer thickness d. The equivalence of such a device to a rotating disk immersed in an infinite medium has been shown in the limit as d → 0. From that solution and taking into account edge effect corrections an equation for the viscous torque acting on the disk has been derived, which depends only on d. Moreover, these results justify the use of a rotating disk to perform accurate viscosity measurements.

Oscillatory Boundary Layer

Numerical simulations of Navier–Stokes equations are performed to study the flow originated by an oscillating pressure gradient close to a wall characterized by small imperfections. The scenario of transition from the laminar to the turbulent regime is investigated and the results are interpreted in the light of existing analytical theories. The ‘disturbed-laminar’ and the ‘intermittently turbulent’ regimes detected experimentally are reproduced by the present simulations. Moreover it is found that imperfections of the wall are of fundamental importance in causing the growth of two-dimensional disturbances which in turn trigger turbulence in the Stokes boundary layer. Finally, in the intermittently turbulent regime, a description is given of the temporal development of turbulence characteristics.

Excited Oscillation

A self-excited oscillation of transonic flow in a simplified cascade model was investigated experimentally, theoretically and numerically. The measurements of the shock wave and wake motions, and unsteady static pressure field predict a closed loop mechanism, in which the pressure disturbance, that is generated by the oscillation of boundary layer separation, propagates upstream in the main flow and forces the shock wave to oscillate, and then the shock oscillation disturbs the boundary layer separation again. A one-dimensional analysis confirms that the self-excited oscillation occurs in the proposed mechanism. Finally, a numerical simulation of the Navier-Stokes equations reveals the unsteady flow structure of the reversed flow region around the trailing edge, which induces the large flow separation to bring about the anti-phase oscillation.

AbstractOur concern in this paper is with high-Reynolds-number nonlinear equilibrium solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations for boundary-layer flows. Here we consider the asymptotic suction boundary layer (ASBL) which we take as a prototype parallel boundary layer. Solutions of the equations of motion are obtained using a homotopy continuation from two known types of solutions for plane Couette flow. At high Reynolds numbers, it is shown that the first type of solution takes the form of a vortex–wave interaction (VWI) state, see Hall & Smith (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 227, 1991, pp. 641–666), and is located in the main part of the boundary layer. On the other hand, here the second type is found to support an equilibrium solution of the unit-Reynolds-number Navier–Stokes equations in a layer located a distance of $\def \xmlpi #1{}\def \mathsfbi #1{\boldsymbol {\mathsf {#1}}}\let \le =\leqslant \let \leq =\leqslant \let \ge =\geqslant \let \geq =\geqslant \def \Pr {\mathit {Pr}}\def \Fr {\mathit {Fr}}\def \Rey {\mathit {Re}}O(\ln \mathit{Re})$ from the wall. Here $\mathit{Re}$ is the Reynolds number based on the free-stream speed and the unperturbed boundary-layer thickness. The streaky field produced by the interaction grows exponentially below the layer and takes its maximum size within the unperturbed boundary layer. The results suggest the possibility of two distinct types of streaky coherent structures existing, possibly simultaneously, in disturbed boundary layers.

Similar Solutions

Plane and axisymmetric (radial), horizontal laminar jet flows, produced by natural convection on a horizontal finite plate acting as a heat dipole, are considered at large distances from the plate. It is shown that physically acceptable self-similar solutions of the boundary-layer equations, which include buoyancy effects, exist in certain Prandtl-number regimes, i.e. 0.5<Pr[les ]1.470588 for plane, and Pr>1 for axisymmetric flow. In the plane flow case, the eigenvalues of the self-similar solutions are independent of the Prandtl number and can be determined from a momentum balance, whereas in the axisymmetric case the eigenvalues depend on the Prandtl number and are to be determined as part of the solution of the eigenvalue problem. For Prandtl numbers equal to, or smaller than, the lower limiting values of 0.5 and 1 for plane and axisymmetric flow, respectively, the far flow field is a non-buoyant jet, for which self-similar solutions of the boundary-layer equations are also provided. Furthermore it is shown that self-similar solutions of the full Navier–Stokes equations for axisymmetric flow, with the velocity varying as 1/r, exist for arbitrary values of the Prandtl number.Comparisons with finite-element solutions of the full Navier–Stokes equations show that the self-similar boundary-layer solutions are asymptotically approached as the plate Grashof number tends to infinity, whereas the self-similar solution to the full Navier–Stokes equations is applicable, for a given value of the Prandtl number, only to one particular, finite value of the Grashof number.In the Appendices second-order boundary-layer solutions are given, and uniformly valid composite expansions are constructed; asymptotic expansions for large values of the lateral coordinate are performed to study the decay of the self-similar boundary-layer flows; and the stability of the jets is investigated using transient numerical solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations.

Uniform Shear

It is shown that the boundary layer approximation to the flow of a viscous fluid past a flat plate of length l , generally valid near the plate when the Reynolds number Re is large, fails within a distance O( lRe -3/4 ) of the trailing edge. The appropriate governing equations in this neighbourhood are the full Navier- Stokes equations. On the basis of Imai (1966) these equations are linearized with respect to a uniform shear and are then completely solved by means of a Wiener-Hopf integral equation. The solution so obtained joins smoothly on to that of the boundary layer for a flat plate upstream of the trailing edge and for a wake downstream of the trailing edge. The contribution to the drag coefficient is found to be O ( Re -3/4 ) and the multiplicative constant is explicitly worked out for the linearized equations.

Method Analysis

In this paper a numerical and experimental study of the effect of blowing/suction through a perforated surface on a turbulent boundary layer at a Mach number M = 1.4 is carried out. Most of the calculations were performed by Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the k-w SST turbulence model. The calculated geometry completely repeated the experimental one including the perforated surface. The numerical data were compared with experimental measurements obtained by the PIV method. Analysis of the data made it possible to find the limits of applicability of the numerical method for this flow.

Rayleigh Benard

The case of a supercritical fluid heated from below (Rayleigh-Bénard) in a rectangular cavity is first presented. The stability of the two boundary layers (hot and cold) is analyzed by numerically solving the Navier-Stokes equations with a van der Waals gas and stability diagrams are derived. The very large compressibility and the very low heat diffusivity of near critical pure fluids induce very large density gradients which lead to a Rayleigh–Taylor-like gravitational instability of the heat diffusion layer and results in terms of growth rates and wave numbers are presented. Depending on the relative direction of the interface or the boundary layer with respect to vibration, vibrational forces can destabilize a thermal boundary layer, resulting in parametric/Rayleigh vibrational instabilities. This has recently been achieved by using a numerical model which does not require any equation of state and directly calculates properties from NIST data base, for instance.
