Average Flow Model

The average flow model presented by Patir and Cheng [1] is evaluated. First, it is shown that the choice of grid used in the average flow model influences the results. The results presented are different from those given by Patir and Cheng. Second, it is shown that the introduction of two-dimensional flow greatly reduces the effect of roughness on flow. Results based on one-dimensional flow cannot be relied upon for two-dimensional problems. Finally, some average flow factors are given for truncated rough surfaces. These can be applied to partially worn surfaces. The most important conclusion reached is that an even closer examination of the average flow concept is needed before the results can be applied with confidence to lubrication problems.

Shock System

Abstract Supersonic combustion induced by a two-shock system has been studied using a chemical nonequilibrium, quasi one-dimensional flow model. The combustion of stoichiometric, premixed H2-air is described by a chemistry model which consists of 11 species and 28 reactions. The freestream Mach numbers used in this calculations are 8, 10 and 12. The initial pressure is 0.01 atm and temperature 300 K. The first of the two shocks is a conical shock and the second is its reflection. Supersonic combustion has been predicted to occur at combustor pressures between 0.8 and 2.9 atmospheres, and temperatures between 1500 and 3000 K. The Mach number of the flow in the combustor is between 1.7 and 4. These combustor conditions are typical of the future hypersonic propulsion systems. The results also show the changes in the composition of the flow during the induction and heat release phases. The two-shock system is assumed to be generated by a cone. For Mach 8, 10 and 12, the minimum cone angle for generating a strong enough two-shock system to induce supersonic combustion has also been identified.

Glacier Front

The Svartisheibreen glacier in northern Norway has been investigated since 1988 in connection with a proposed hydropower scheme. The scheme includes regulation of the lake into which the glacier calves. A one-dimensional flow model has been used to estimate the response of the glacier to changes in mass balance and lake level. The model predicts that a net balance, excluding calving, of 0 m a−1 will cause the glacier to retreat approximately 400 m over 50 years if lake level is maintained at 774 m a.s.l., but that the glacier front will not move significantly if lake level is lowered to 720 m a.s.l. In 1989 and 1991, lake outbursts occurred beneath the glacier. The 1991 outburst was monitored, and culminated in a peak discharge of only 3.5 m3 s−1, much less than for other reported outbursts. This outburst can be explained in a model in which the outburst tunnel passes over a subglacial threshold approximately 70 m behind the 1991 calving front. The model shows that outbursts will probably increase dramatically in size if the front retreats beyond this threshold.

Flat Plate Solar Collector

An isothermal one-dimensional flow model is used to calculate the flow distribution across the manifold of a flat plate solar collector in order to quantify the effect of a non-uniform flow distribution on the thermal efficiency for a variety of manifold geometries. The predictions of this flow model are found to compare favourably with measured isothermal flow distributions.
