This paper investigates theoretically for the first time the dynamical behavior and stability of a simply supported shell located coaxially in a rigid cylindrical conduit. The fluid flow is incompressible and the fluid forces consist of two parts: (i) steady viscous forces which represent the effects of upstream pressurization of the flow; (ii) unsteady forces which could be inviscid or viscous. The inviscid forces were derived by linearized potential flow theory, while the viscous ones were derived by means of the Navier-Stokes equations. Shell motion is described by the modified Flu¨gge’s shell equations. The Fourier transform technique is employed to formulate the problem. First, the system is subjected only to the unsteady inviscid forces. It is found that increasing either the internal or the annular flow velocity induces buckling, followed by coupled mode flutter. When both steady viscous and unsteady inviscid forces are applied, for internal flow, the system becomes stabilized; while for annular flow, the system loses stability at much lower velocities. Second, the system is only subjected to the unsteady viscous forces. Calculations are only performed for the internal flow case. The results are compared to those of inviscid theory. It is found that the effects of unsteady viscous forces on the stability of the system are very close to those of unsteady inviscid forces.

This paper presents an analytical approach for investigating the dynamics and stability of an outer cylindrical shell conveying viscous fluid (i.e. water) in the annulus between the inner shell-type body and the outer shell with thermal load. The steady viscous forces that induce prestress on the shells are determined based on the time–mean Navier–Stokes equations. The shell motions are described by Flügge’s shell equations incorporating the prestress arising from the viscous effect. The shell-vibration-induced fluid forces are described by means of the potential flow theory, and the thermal loads are determined by the thermoelastic theory. The analytical model is conducted by the zero-level contour method with the aid of the weighted residual technology. The present study shows that the effect of viscosity in the annular flow renders the system more unstable. Moreover, the thermal load tends to reduce the critical flow velocity pronouncedly, for which there exists a critical temperature rise.

The effect of steady viscous forces on vibrations of shell with internal and annular flow has been considered by using the time-mean Navier-Stokes equations. The model developed by Amabili & Garziera (2000), capable of simulating shells with non-uniform boundary conditions, added masses and partial elastic bed, has been extended to include non-uniform prestress. The effect of steady viscous forces has been added to the inviscid flow formulation considered by Amabili & Garziera (2002). The computer code DIVA has been developed by using the model developed in the present study. It has been validated by comparison with available results for shells with uniform constraints and has been used to study shells with non-uniform constraints and added lumped masses.

The Stability

This study investigates unsteady flow in tube bundles and fluid forces, which can lead to large tube vibration amplitudes, in particular, amplitudes associated with fluidelastic instability (FEI). The fluidelastic forces are approximated by the coupling of the unsteady flow model (UFM) with computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The CFD model employed solves the Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes equations for unsteady turbulent flow and is cast in an arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian form to handle any motion associated with tubes. The CFD solution provides time domain forces that are used to calculate added damping and stiffness coefficients employed with the UFM. The investigation demonstrates that the UFM utilized in conjunction with CFD is a viable approach for calculating the stability map for a given tube array. The FEI was predicted for in-line square and normal triangle tube arrays over a mass damping parameter range of 0.1– 100. The effect of the P/d ratio and the Reynolds number on the FEI threshold was also investigated.

This is the first part of a series of two papers on unsteady computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods for the numerical simulation of aerodynamic noise generation and propagation. In this part, the stability, accuracy, and efficiency of implicit Runge–Kutta schemes for the temporal integration of the compressible Navier–Stokes equations are investigated in the context of a CFD code for turbomachinery applications. Using two model academic problems, the properties of two explicit first stage, singly diagonally implicit Runge–Kutta (ESDIRK) schemes of second- and third-order accuracy are quantified and compared with more conventional second-order multistep methods. Finally, to assess the ESDIRK schemes in the context of an industrially relevant configuration, the schemes are applied to predict the tonal noise generation and transmission in a modern high bypass ratio fan stage and comparisons with the corresponding experimental data are provided.

The stability of incompressible boundary-layer flows on a semi-infinite flat plate and the growth of disturbances in such flows are investigated by numerical integration of the complete Navier–;Stokes equations for laminar two-dimensional flows. Forced time-dependent disturbances are introduced into the flow field and the reaction of the flow to such disturbances is studied by directly solving the Navier–Stokes equations using a finite-difference method. An implicit finitedifference scheme was developed for the calculation of the extremely unsteady flow fields which arose from the forced time-dependent disturbances. The problem of the numerical stability of the method called for special attention in order to avoid possible distortions of the results caused by the interaction of unstable numerical oscillations with physically meaningful perturbations. A demonstration of the suitability of the numerical method for the investigation of stability and the initial growth of disturbances is presented for small periodic perturbations. For this particular case the numerical results can be compared with linear stability theory and experimental measurements. In this paper a number of numerical calculations for small periodic disturbances are discussed in detail. The results are generally in fairly close agreement with linear stability theory or experimental measurements.

This paper deals with the numerical study of bifurcations in a two-sided lid driven cavity flow. The flow is generated by moving the upper wall to the right while moving the left wall downwards. Numerical simulations are performed by solving the unsteady two dimensional Navier-Stokes equations using the finite volume method and multigrid acceleration. In this problem, the ratio of the height to the width of the cavity are ranged from H/L = 0.25 to 1.5. The code for this cavity is presented using rectangular cavity with the grids 144 × 36, 144 × 72, 144 × 104, 144 × 136, 144 × 176 and 144 × 216. Numerous comparisons with the results available in the literature are given. Very good agreements are found between current numerical results and published numerical results. Various velocity ratios ranged in 0.01≤ α ≤ 0.99 at a fixed aspect ratios (A = 0.5, 0.75, 1.25 and 1.5) were considered. It is observed that the transition to the unsteady regime follows the classical scheme of a Hopf bifurcation. The stability analysis depending on the aspect ratio, velocity ratios α and the Reynolds number when transition phenomenon occurs is considered in this paper.

AbstractWe propose and analyze spectral direction splitting schemes for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The schemes combine a Legendre-spectral method for the spatial discretization and a pressure-stabilization/direction splitting scheme for the temporal discretization, leading to a sequence of one-dimensional elliptic equations at each time step while preserving the same order of accuracy as the usual pressure-stabilization schemes. We prove that these schemes are unconditionally stable, and present numerical results which demonstrate the stability, accuracy, and efficiency of the proposed methods.

This work introduces a similarity solution to the problem of a viscous, incompressible and rotational fluid in a right-cylindrical chamber with uniformly porous walls and a non-circular cross-section. The attendant idealization may be used to model the non-reactive internal flow field of a solid rocket motor with a star-shaped grain configuration. By mapping the radial domain to a circular pipe flow, the Navier–Stokes equations are converted to a fourth-order differential equation that is reminiscent of Berman’s classic expression. Then assuming a small radial deviation from a fixed chamber radius, asymptotic expansions of the three-component velocity and pressure fields are systematically pursued to the second order in the radial deviation amplitude. This enables us to derive a set of ordinary differential relations that can be readily solved for the mean flow variables. In the process of characterizing the ensuing flow motion, the axial, radial and tangential velocities are compared and shown to agree favourably with the simulation results of a finite-volume Navier–Stokes solver at different cross-flow Reynolds numbers, deviation amplitudes and circular wavenumbers.

Rayleigh Benard

The case of a supercritical fluid heated from below (Rayleigh-Bénard) in a rectangular cavity is first presented. The stability of the two boundary layers (hot and cold) is analyzed by numerically solving the Navier-Stokes equations with a van der Waals gas and stability diagrams are derived. The very large compressibility and the very low heat diffusivity of near critical pure fluids induce very large density gradients which lead to a Rayleigh–Taylor-like gravitational instability of the heat diffusion layer and results in terms of growth rates and wave numbers are presented. Depending on the relative direction of the interface or the boundary layer with respect to vibration, vibrational forces can destabilize a thermal boundary layer, resulting in parametric/Rayleigh vibrational instabilities. This has recently been achieved by using a numerical model which does not require any equation of state and directly calculates properties from NIST data base, for instance.
