The Navier-Stokes equations have been used for numerical modeling of chemically reacting gas flow in the propulsion chamber. The chamber represents an axially symmetrical plane disk. Fuel and oxidant were fed into the chamber separately at some angle to the inflow surface and not parallel one to another to ensure better mixing of species. The model is based on conservation laws of mass, momentum, and energy for nonsteady two-dimensional compressible gas flow in the case of axial symmetry. The processes of viscosity, thermal conductivity, turbulence, and diffusion of species have been taken into account. The possibility of detonation mode of combustion of the mixture in the chamber was numerically demonstrated. The detonation triggering depends on the values of angles between fuel and oxidizer jets. This type of the propulsion chamber is effective because of the absence of stagnation zones and good mixing of species before burning.

The unsteady flow past a circular cylinder which starts translating and rotating impulsively from rest in a viscous fluid is investigated both theoretically and experimentally in the Reynolds number range 103 [les ] R [les ] 104 and for rotational to translational surface speed ratios between 0.5 and 3. The theoretical study is based on numerical solutions of the two-dimensional unsteady Navier–Stokes equations while the experimental investigation is based on visualization of the flow using very fine suspended particles. The object of the study is to examine the effect of increase of rotation on the flow structure. There is excellent agreement between the numerical and experimental results for all speed ratios considered, except in the case of the highest rotation rate. Here three-dimensional effects become more pronounced in the experiments and the laminar flow breaks down, while the calculated flow starts to approach a steady state. For lower rotation rates a periodic structure of vortex evolution and shedding develops in the calculations which is repeated exactly as time advances. Another feature of the calculations is the discrepancy in the lift and drag forces at high Reynolds numbers resulting from solving the boundary-layer limit of the equations of motion rather than the full Navier–Stokes equations. Typical results are given for selected values of the Reynolds number and rotation rate.

We consider in the present work the fusion laser cutting of stainless steel sheets under a nitrogen laminar gas jet. The molten metal is treated as a laminar and steady viscous incompressible fluid. The mathematical model describing our problem is set in terms of Navier-Stokes equations, solved numerically using the finite differences method, where the effect of the gas jet velocity on the molten boundary layer is considered. The generated shear stress occurring on the gas-liquid interface and its contribution in the momentum is carried out, and it is found that when the skin friction and the shear stress decrease, the thickness and the velocity at the edge of the molten boundary layer increase along the kerf surface. The layer thickness reduces when the assisting gas velocity is increased.

The article considers the features of numerical construction of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations full system describing a three-dimensional flow of compressible viscous heat-conducting gas under the action of gravity and Coriolis forces. It is shown that accounting of dissipative properties of viscosity and thermal conductivity of the moving continuum, even with constant coefficients of viscosity and thermal conductivity, as well as the use of explicit difference scheme calculation imposes significant restrictions on numerical experiments aimed at studying the arising complex flows of gas or liquid. First of all, it is associated with a signifi- cant complication of the system of equations, the restrictions on the value of the calculated steps in space and time, increasing the total computation time. One of the options is proposed of algorithm parallelization of numerical solution of the complete Navier - Stokes equations system in the vertical spatial coordinate. This parallelization option can significantly increase the computing performance and reduce the overall time of counting. A comparison of the results of calculation of one of options of gas flow in the upward swirling flow obtained by serial and parallel programs is presented.

The Navier-Stokes and compressible Reynolds equations are solved for gas lubricated textured parallel slider bearings under hydrodynamic lubrication for a range of realistic texture geometry parameters and operating conditions. The simplifying assumptions inherent in the Reynolds equation are validated by comparing simulation results to the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. Using the Reynolds equation to describe shear driven gas flow in textured parallel slider bearings is justified for the range of parameters considered.

We study the Boltzmann equation on the [Formula: see text]-dimensional torus in a perturbative setting around a global equilibrium under the Navier–Stokes linearization. We use a recent functional analysis breakthrough to prove that the linear part of the equation generates a [Formula: see text]-semigroup with exponential decay in Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces with polynomial weight, independently of the Knudsen number. Finally, we prove well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear Boltzmann equation in perturbative setting and an exponential decay for the perturbed Boltzmann equation, uniformly in the Knudsen number, in Sobolev spaces with polynomial weight. The polynomial weight is almost optimal. Furthermore, this result only requires derivatives in the space variable and allows to connect solutions to the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in these spaces.

A numerical model of the turbulent mixing process between two parallel supersonic flows is considered. Model problem of hydrogen injection into the inert gas flow with Mach number M = 2.44 in the Burrows-Kurkov combustor is simulated in two and three dimensions for validating the Spalart-Allmaras (SA) turbulence model and diffusion model computational algorithms for multicomponent gas mixture. The system of averaged Navier-Stokes equations, closed with the turbulence model equation, is solved with the hybrid explicit-implicit LU-SGS-GMRES algorithm. Obtained results are compared with experimental and computational data.

Cavitation is a complex phenomenon to measure, depending on site conditions in specific regions of the Earth, where there is water with various physical properties. The development of ship and propulsion technology is currently intended to further explore territorial waters that are difficult to explore. Climate differences affect the temperature and physical properties of water on Earth. This study aimed to determine the effect of cavitation related to the physical properties of water. Numerical predictions of a cavitating propeller in open water and uniform inflow are presented with computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Simulations were carried out using Ansys. Numerical simulation based on Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations for the conservative form and the Rayleigh–Plesset equation for the mass transfer cavitation model was conducted with turbulent closure of the fully turbulent K-epsilon (k-ε) model and shear stress transport (SST). The influence of temperature on cavitation extension was investigated between 0   and   50   ° C . The results obtained showed a trend of cavitation occurring more aggressively at higher water temperature than at lower temperature.

The fluid flow in the double cyclone separator is numerical simulated, using the Navier-Stokes equations with the Reynolds stress model (RSM). The basic parameters of gas flow are obtained as functions of radius such as the tangential velocity, the axial velocity and the static pressure. The numerical results show that in the cyclones water liquids are centrifuged onto the walls and removed from the natural gas due to the strong centrifugal field, while the natural gas stays in the central region and moves out from the up-outlet. The water can be well removed from the natural gas.
