Three-dimensional stream functions for flows in elastohydrodynamically lubricated elliptical conjunctions are formulated. Closed-form and numerical solutions for the stream functions on special planes are obtained. Streamlines on these special planes are plotted to reveal the trajectories of the lubricant particles that pass by, pass through, or flow back from the Hertzian contact zone. Furthermore, a conceptual column stream function and column streamlines are introduced to present the three-dimensional flow in a two-dimensional manner. Thereby, the column streamlines can be plotted to visualize and quantify the flow rates of the lubricant that passes by or passes through the Hertzian zone.

Two Dimensional Flow

The flow inside rectangular and other cavities in a wall has been investigated at low subsonic velocities using oil flow and surface static-pressure distributions. Evidence has been found of regular three-dimensional flows in cavities with large span-to-chord ratios which would normally be considered to have two-dimensional flow near their centre-lines. The dependence of the steadiness of the flow upon the cavity's span as well as its chord and depth has also been observed.

Chaotic Streamlines

The topology of the incompressible steady three-dimensional flow in a partially filled cylindrical rotating drum, infinitely extended along its axis, is investigated numerically for a ratio of pool depth to radius of 0.2. In the limit of vanishing Froude and capillary numbers, the liquid–gas interface remains flat and the two-dimensional flow becomes unstable to steady three-dimensional convection cells. The Lagrangian transport in the cellular flow is organised by periodic spiralling-in and spiralling-out saddle foci, and by saddle limit cycles. Chaotic advection is caused by a breakup of a degenerate heteroclinic connection between the two saddle foci when the flow becomes three-dimensional. On increasing the Reynolds number, chaotic streamlines invade the cells from the cell boundary and from the interior along the broken heteroclinic connection. This trend is made evident by computing the Kolmogorov–Arnold–Moser tori for five supercritical Reynolds numbers.

First Time

The horizontal and vertical velocity profiles near a heated vertical wall of rectangular enclosure were measured for the laminar regime of natural convection with a laser-Doppler anemometer. The horizontal temperature profiles near the heated wall were measured with a thermocouple. An almost perfect two-dimensional mode of flow was confirmed for the central regime of the box. A minimum in the temperature profile between the hot wall and the thermally stratified central core resulted in a downward flow just outside the boundary layer of upward flow, but the central core was stagnant. Visualization of the flow with a phenolphtalein tracer confirmed the two-dimensionality of the flow along the vertical heated wall and revealed a zone of three-dimensional flow in the form of spiral streaklines along the insulated top plate toward the opposing cooled vertical wall. Measurements such as these provide for the first time the basis for a critical test of the accuracy of numerical solutions.

Temperature And Velocity Fields

The present work centers around a numerical three-dimensional transient investigation of the effects of axial convection on flow and temperature fields inside an open-ended annulus. The transient behavior of the flow field through the formation of a three-dimensional flow field and its subsequent effect on the temperature distribution at different axial locations within the annulus were analyzed by both finite difference and finite element methods. The results show that the axial convection has a distinctly different influence on the temperature and velocity fields. It is found that in the midportion of the annulus a two-dimensional assumption with respect to the temperature distribution can lead to satisfactory results for Ra<10,000. However, such an assumption is improper with respect to the flow field. Furthermore, it is shown that generally the errors for a two-dimensional assumption in the midportion of the annulus are less at earlier times (t<50Δt) during the transient development of the flow and temperature fields.

The effects of two base-potentials on the accuracy of a slender-body method are studied in this paper. In the formulation for this method which is developed for the slender ships, the velocity potential is decomposed into a base-potential and a perturbation potential. Then using an order of magnitude analysis, the three-dimensional flow problem is simplified into a series of two-dimensional problems for the perturbation potential. These two-dimensional problems are solved with the linearized free surface boundary conditions, using a mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian method. Finally for the two base-potentials, the numerical wave elevation along a Wigleyull are compared with the experimental results.

Secondary Injection

This work deals with theoretical aspects of thrust vector control in rocket nozzles by the injection of secondary gas into the supersonic region of the nozzle. The work is concerned mainly with two-dimensional flow, though some aspects of three-dimensional flow in axisymmetric nozzles are considered. The subject matter is divided into three parts. In Part I, the side force produced when a physical wedge is placed into the exit of a two-dimensional nozzle is considered. In Parts 2 and 3, the physical wedge is replaced by a wedge-shaped “dead water” region produced by the separation of the boundary layer upstream of a secondary injection port. The modifications which then have to be made to the theoretical relationships, given in Part 1, are enumerated. Theoretical relationships for side force, thrust augmentation and magnification parameter for two- and three-dimensional flow are given for secondary injection normal to the main nozzle axis. In addition, the advantages to be gained by secondary injection in an upstream direction are clearly illustrated. The theoretical results are compared with experimental work and a comparison is made with the theories of other workers.

Unsteady separation processes at large finite, Reynolds number, Re, are considered, as well as the possible relation to existing descriptions of boundary-layer separation in the limit Re → ∞. The model problem is a fundamental vortex-driven three-dimensional flow, believed to be relevant to bursting near the wall in a turbulent boundary layer. Bursting is known to be associated with streamwise vortex motion, but the vortex/wall interactions that drive the near-wall flow toward breakdown have not yet been fully identified. Here, a simulation of symmetric counter-rotating vortices is used to assess the influence of sustained pumping action on the development of a viscous wall layer. The calculated solutions describe a three-dimensional flow at finite Re that is independent of the streamwise coordinate and consists of a crossflow plane motion, with a developing streamwise flow. The unsteady problem is constructed to mimic a typical cycle in turbulent wall layers and numerical solutions are obtained over a range of Re. Recirculating eddies develop rapidly in the near-wall flow, but these eddies are eventually bisected by alleyways which open up from the external flow region to the wall. At sufficiently high Re, an oscillation was found to develop in the streamwise vorticity field near the alleyways with a concurrent evolution of a local spiky behaviour in the wall shear. Above a critical value of Re, the oscillation grows rapidly in amplitude and eventually penetrates the external flow field, suggesting the onset of an unstable wall-layer breakdown. Local zones of severely retarded streamwise velocity are computed which are reminiscent of the low-speed streaks commonly observed in turbulent boundary layers. A number of other features also bear a resemblance to observed coherent structure in the turbulent wall layer.

Backfilled Stopes

Backfill is commonly used world-wide in underground mines to improve ground stability and reduce solid waste disposal on the surface. Practical solutions are required to assess the stress state in the backfilled stopes, as the stress state is influenced by the fill settlement that produces a stress transfer to the adjacent rock walls. The majority of existing analytical and numerical solutions for the stresses in backfilled openings were developed for two-dimensional (plane strain) conditions. In reality, mine stopes have a limited extension in the horizontal plane so the stresses are influenced by the four walls. This paper presents recent three-dimensional (3D) simulations results and a new 3D closed-form solution for the vertical and horizontal stresses in inclined backfilled stopes with parallel walls. This solution takes into account the variation of the stresses along the opening width and height, for various inclination angles and fills properties. The numerical results are used to validate the analytical solution and illustrate how the stress state varies along the opening height, length, and width, for different opening sizes and inclination angles of the footwall and hanging wall. Experimental results are also used to assess the validity of the proposed solution.
