Thermal Transpiration

The steady-state transition from and to the uniform entry and exit flow profiles is well described, at large aspect ratio, in terms of the stream function by the pipe eigenfunctions. But these latter are unsuited to oscillatory motion or the time evolution of the symmetric piston-driven pipe flow, for which an appropriate solution has a combination of a Fourier series along the finite pipe and a Fourier–Bessel series in the transverse direction. A non-uniqueness requires the identification of a solvability condition and care is needed in demonstrating its satisfaction. An additional result is that the solution must be constructed to satisfy the normal flow conditions identically. Application is made to thermal transpiration, recently explained by the revised Navier–Stokes equations and boundary conditions.

The linear stability of Hagen-Poiseuille flow (Poiseuille pipe flow) with superimposed rigid rotation against small three-dimensional disturbances is examined at finite and infinite axial Reynolds numbers. The neutral curve, which is obtained by numerical solution of the system of perturbation equations (derived from the Navier-Stokes equations), has been confirmed for finite axial Reynolds numbers by a few simple experiments. The results suggest that, at high axial Reynolds numbers, the amount of rotation required for destabilization could be small enough to have escaped notice in experiments on the transition to turbulence in (nominally) non-rotating pipe flow.

Laminar Pipe Flow

Vortex pipe flow of suspensions with laminar motion in the fluid phase is treated. The pipe consists of two smoothly joined sections, one stationary and the other rotating with a constant angular velocity. The flow properties of the fluid phase are determined by solving the complete Navier-Stokes equations numerically. The governing parameters are the flow Reynolds number and swirl ratio. Subsequent numerical solution to the momentum equations governing the particulate phase provides for both particle velocity and concentration distributions.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

The effect of foreign coolant injection at the wall on the temperature distribution of a laminar flow of a fluid with variable transport and thermodynamic properties in a porous-wall pipe has been investigated. The velocity components, mass concentration, and temperature distribution were obtained by the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations, the diffusion equation, and the energy equation. A perturbation method was used to solve the first equations for small flows through the porous wall, and the eigenvalues in the latter two equations were calculated with the aid of the CDC 1604 computer. The results from this investigation depict the significant differences in both velocity distribution and temperature distribution between the present case of hydrogen coolant and the case of air coolant [1]. The results also show that the heat transfer coefficient at the wall in the present case is considerably smaller than the case of air-coolant injection.

Transonic Turbine

A new transonic turbine cascade model that accurately produces infinite cascade flow conditions with minimal compressor requirements is presented. An inverse design procedure using the Favre-averaged Navier-Stokes equations and k‐ε turbulence model based on the method of steepest descent was applied to a geometry consisting of a single turbine blade in a passage. For a fixed blade geometry, the passage walls were designed such that the surface isentropic Mach number (SIMN) distribution on the blade in the passage matched the SIMN distribution on the blade in an infinite cascade, while maintaining attached flow along both passage walls. An experimental rig was built that produces realistic flow conditions, and also provides the extensive optical access needed to obtain detailed particle image velocimetry measurements around the blade. Excellent agreement was achieved between computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of the infinite cascade SIMN, CFD of the designed double passage SIMN, and the measured SIMN.

Turbulent Transition

The Navier-Stokes equations for flow in a rotating circular pipe are solved numerically, subject to imposing helical symmetry on the velocity field v = v(r, θ + αz,t). The helical symmetry is exploited by writing the equations of motion in helical variables, reducing the problem to two dimensions. A limited study of the pipe flow is made in the parameter space of the wavenumber α, and the axial and azimuthal Reynolds numbers. The steadily rotating waves previously studied by Toplosky & Akylas (1988), which arise from the linear instability of the basic steady flow, are found to undergo a series of bifurcations, through periodic to aperiodic time dependence. The relevance of these results to the mechanism of laminar-turbulent transition in a stationary pipe is discussed.

Theoretical Considerations

Vapours of retrograde fluids, i.e. media with large values of the specific heats, may have the remarkable property that sonic conditions are reached three times rather than once during isentropic expansion or compression. As a result, the acceleration of such a fluid through a converging-diverging Laval nozzle under steady flow conditions may lead to the occurrence of an expansion shock discontinuity. Theoretical considerations then suggest that nozzles with two throats should be designed to achieve a full shock-free subsonic-supersonic expansion.In this study the unsteady flow of a dense, retrograde gas through slender nozzles (with one and two throats) is considered. The combination of the Navier-Stokes equations supplemented with a non-classical equation of state for the fluid yields a generalized wave equation, with its validity restricted to flow conditions near the critical value M = 1. This equation is used to study the transition process which sets in if a steady subsonic solution is perturbed by lowering the pressure at the end of the nozzle.

This work describes the effect of a Tee and a Valve on the flow measurement accuracy and the performances of the E´toile flow straightener described by the standard ISO 5167 to produce the fully developed pipe flow with these disturbances. Simulation is carried out for an air flow in 100mm pipe diameter with a Reynolds number between 104 and 106. The code used for this work is Fluent V6.3, where the Navier-Stokes equations are solved by the finite volumes method with K-ε model like turbulent model. The results show that for the disturbance valve 50% closed, the length of establishment seems to be reached at 25D downstream the E´toile where the flow gyration angle is reduced practically to zero value. But for the Tee disturbance the results show that the flow needs more than 25D to reach the profiles requested by the standards. An experimental study is essential to validate these results for choosing a standard disturbance which will be examined with conditioners quoted in standard 5167 and thereafter the development of a new flow conditioner.

Large Eddy

Since its introduction, in the early 1970s, large eddy simulations (LES) have advanced considerably, and their application is transitioning from the academic environment to industry. Several landmark developments can be identified over the past 40 years, such as the wall-resolved simulations of wall-bounded flows, the development of advanced models for the unresolved scales that adapt to the local flow conditions and the hybridization of LES with the solution of the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations. Thanks to these advancements, LES is now in widespread use in the academic community and is an option available in most commercial flow-solvers. This paper will try to predict what algorithmic and modelling advancements are needed to make it even more robust and inexpensive, and which areas show the most promise.

A fully conjugate heat transfer analysis of gaseous flow in short microchannels is presented. Navier–Stokes equations, coupled with Maxwell and Smoluchowski slip and temperature jump boundary conditions, are used for numerical analysis. Results are presented in terms of Nusselt number, heat sink thermal resistance, and resulting wall temperature as well as Mach number profiles for different flow conditions. The comparative importance of wall conduction, rarefaction, and compressibility are discussed. It was found that compressibility plays a major role. Although a significant penalization in the Nusselt number, due to conjugate heat transfer effect, is observed even for a small value of solid conductivity, the performances in terms of heat sink efficiency are essentially a function only of the Mach number.
