Using Hipparcos parallaxes and proper motions together with radial velocity data and individual ages estimated from isochones, the velocity ellipsoid has been determined as a function of age. On the basis of the available kinematic data two different samples were considered: a first one (7789 stars) for which only tangential velocities were calculated and a second one containing 3104 stars with available U, V and W velocity components and total velocities ≤ 65 km.s-1. The main conclusions are: -Mixing is not complete at about 0.8-1 Gyr. -The shape of the velocity ellipsoid changes with time getting rounder from σu/σv/σ-w = 1/0.63/0.42 ± 0.04 at about 1 Gyr to1/0.7/0.62 ±0.04 at 4-5 Gyr. -The age-velocity-dispersion relation (from the sample with kinematical selection) rises to a maximum, thereafter remaining roughly constant; there is no dynamically significant evolution of the disk after about 4-5 Gyr. -Among the stars with solar metallicities and log(age) > 9.8 two groups are identified: one has typical thin disk characteristics, the other is older than 10 Gyr and lags the LSR at about 40 km.s-1 . -The variation of the tangential velocity with age(without selection on the tangential velocity) shows a discontinuity at about 10 Gyr, which may be attributed to stars typically of the thick disk populations for ages > 10 Gyr.

The purpose of this note is to describe a particular class of steady fluid flows, for which the techniques of classical hydrodynamics and boundary-layer theory determine uniquely the asymptotic flow for large Reynolds number for each of a continuously varied set of boundary conditions. The flows involve viscous layers in the interior of the flow domain, as well as boundary layers, and the investigation is unusual in that the position and structure of all the viscous layers are determined uniquely. The note is intended to be an illustration of the principles that lead to this determination, not a source of information of practical value.The flows take place in a two-dimensional channel with porous walls through which fluid is uniformly injected or extracted. When fluid is extracted through both walls there are boundary layers on both walls and the flow outside these layers is irrotational. When fluid is extracted through one wall and injected through the other, there is a boundary layer only on the former wall and the inviscid rotational flow outside this layer satisfies the no-slip condition on the other wall. When fluid is injected through both walls there are no boundary layers, but there is a viscous layer in the interior of the channel, across which the second derivative of the tangential velocity is discontinous, and the position of this layer is determined by the requirement that the inviscid rotational flows on either side of it must satisfy the no-slip conditions on the walls.

The value of the tangential velocity on the Boundary Value Problem (BVP) is inaccurate when comparing the results with analytical solutions by Indirect Boundary Element Method (IBEM), especially at the intersection region where the normal vector is changing rapidly (named nonsmooth boundary). In this study, the singularity of the BVP, which is directly arranged in the center of the surface of the fluid computing domain, is moved outside the computational domain by using the Desingularized Boundary Integral Equation Method (DBIEM). In order to analyze the accuracy of the IBEM/DBIEM and validate the above-mentioned problem, three-dimensional uniform flow over a sphere has been presented. The convergent study of the presented model has been investigated, including desingularized distance in the DBIEM. Then, the numerical results were compared with the analytical solution. It was found that the accuracy of velocity distribution in the flow field has been greatly improved at the intersection region, which has suddenly changed the boundary surface shape of the fluid domain. The conclusions can guide the study on the flow over nonsmooth boundaries by using boundary value method.

Compound hydrocyclone is an important separation equipment in oilfield waste water treatment. In order to grasp the equipment separation characteristics, its pressure field and production ability research is becoming more and more important. In the process of pressure or pressure drop deduced, the hydrocyclone’s vortex field is divided into two parts: semi-free vortex area and compulsive vortex area. In the free vortex area, the pressure and the pressure drop are all deduced by the tangential equation, the pressure gradient equation and the relationship equation of tangential velocity in the hydrocyclone body and the velocity of the rotary crib. In the compulsive vortex area, the pressure and the pressure drop are deduced by the velocity equation and the hydrocyclone’s separation equation. As to the respect of the production ability, it is fixed on the relationship of the inlet flow-rate, overflow pipe diameter, the main diameter of the compound hydrocyclone, pressure drop and the inlet liquid density. The research indicates that the pressure or the pressure drop are all connected with compound hydrocyclone’s diameter, rotary crib’s running velocity and diameter of the maximum tangential velocity track face. As the results of the research, the ascertained key operators, pressure and the pressure drop, the hydrocyclone’s production ability can provide designing consult for the hydrocyclone designers.

The present research activity aims at studying different conditions for the circumferential friction stir welding of cylindrical components in aluminium alloy. Different parameters have been considered, such as the rotational velocity of the tool, the tangential velocity of the cylindrical elements and the number of welding passes. The obtained data have been analysed and the strength of each joint modelled. It has been observed a relevant effect of the combination between the rotational velocity of the tool and the tangential velocity of the cylindrical components on the strength of the joint.

Aims. We construct the rotation curve of the Milky Way in the extended solar neighbourhood using a sample of Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration (SEGUE) G-dwarfs. We investigate the rotation curve shape for the presence of any peculiarities just outside the solar radius as has been reported by some authors. Methods. Using the modified Strömberg relation and the most recent data from the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE), we determine the solar peculiar velocity and the radial scale lengths for the three populations of different metallicities representing the Galactic thin disc. Subsequently, with the same binning in metallicity for the SEGUE G-dwarfs, we construct the rotation curve for a range of Galactocentric distances from 7 to 10 kpc. We approach this problem in a framework of classical Jeans analysis and derive the circular velocity by correcting the mean tangential velocity for the asymmetric drift in each distance bin. With SEGUE data we also calculate the radial scale length of the thick disc taking as known the derived peculiar motion of the Sun and the slope of the rotation curve. Results. The tangential component of the solar peculiar velocity is found to be V ⊙ = 4.47 ± 0.8 km s−1 and the corresponding scale lengths from the RAVE data are Rd(0 < [Fe/H] < 0.2) = 2.07 ± 0.2 kpc, Rd(−0.2 < [Fe/H] < 0) = 2.28 ± 0.26 kpc and Rd(−0.5 < [Fe/H] <−0.2) = 3.05 ± 0.43 kpc. In terms of the asymmetric drift, the thin disc SEGUE stars are demonstrated to have dynamics similar to the thin disc RAVE stars, therefore the scale lengths calculated from the SEGUE sample have close values: Rd(0 < [Fe/H] < 0.2) = 1.91 ± 0.23 kpc, Rd(−0.2 < [Fe/H] < 0) = 2.51 ± 0.25 kpc and Rd(−0.5 < [Fe/H] <−0.2) = 3.55 ± 0.42 kpc. The rotation curve constructed through SEGUE G-dwarfs appears to be smooth in the selected radial range 7 kpc < R < 10 kpc. The inferred power law index of the rotation curve is 0.033 ± 0.034, which corresponds to a local slope of dV c∕dR = 0.98 ± 1 km s−1 kpc−1. The radial scale length of the thick disc is 2.05 kpc with no essential dependence on metallicity. Conclusions. The local kinematics of the thin disc rotation as determined in the framework of our new careful analysis does not favour the presence of a massive overdensity ring just outside the solar radius. We also find values for solar peculiar motion, radial scale lengths of thick disc, and three thin disc populations of different metallicities as a side result of this work.

For a competitive low pressure axial fan design low noise emission is as important as high efficiency. In this paper a new design method for low pressure fans with a small hub to tip ratio including blade sweep is introduced and discussed based on experimental investigations. Basis is an empirical axial and tangential velocity distribution at the rotor outlet combined with a distinctive sweep angle distribution along the stacking line. Several fans were designed, built and tested in order to analyze the aerodynamic as well as the aeroacoustic behavior. For the aerodynamic performance particular attention was paid to compensate the influence of reduced pressure rise and efficiency due to increasing blade sweep. This was achieved by a method of increasing the blade chord depending on the local sweep angle which is based on single airfoil data. The tested fans without this compensation revealed a significant noise reduction effect of up to approx. 6 dB(A) for a tip sweep angle of 64° which was accompanied by an unsatisfactory effect of reduced overall aerodynamic performance. The second group of fans did not only confirm the method of the aerodynamic compensation by a nearly unchanged pressure rise and efficiency characteristic but also revealed an increased aeroacoustic benefit of in average 9.5 dB(A) compared to the unswept version. Beside the overall characteristics the individual differences between the designs are also discussed using results of wall pressure measurements which show some significant changes of the blade tip flow structure.
