Dense Gases

The paper deals with the flow properties of dense gases in the throat area of slender nozzles. Starting from the Navier–Stokes equations supplemented with realistic equations of state for gases which have relatively large specific heats a novel form of the viscous transonic small-perturbation equation is derived. Evaluation of the inviscid limit of this equation shows that three sonic points rather than a single sonic point may occur during isentropic expansion of such media, in contrast to the case of perfect gases. As a consequence, a shock-free transition from subsonic to supersonic speeds cannot, in general, be achieved by means of a conventional converging–diverging nozzle. Nozzles leading to shock-free flow fields must have an unusual shape consisting of two throats and an intervening antithroat. Additional new results include the computation of the internal thermoviscous structure of weak shock waves and a phenomenon referred to as impending shock splitting. Finally, the relevance of these results to the description of external transonic flows is discussed briefly.

Break Up

AbstractThe nonlinear deformation and break-up of a bubble or drop immersed in a uniaxial extensional flow of an incompressible viscous fluid is analysed by means of viscous potential flow. In this approximation, the flow field is irrotational and viscosity enters through the balance of normal stresses at the interface. The governing equations are solved numerically to track the motion of the interface by coupling a boundary-element method with a time-integration routine. When break-up occurs, the break-up time computed here is compared with results obtained elsewhere from numerical simulations of the Navier–Stokes equations (Revuelta, Rodríguez-Rodríguez & Martínez-Bazán J. Fluid Mech., vol. 551, 2006, p. 175), which thus keeps vorticity in the analysis, for several combinations of the relevant dimensionless parameters of the problem. For the bubble, for Weber numbers $3\leqslant \mathit{We}\leqslant 6$, predictions from viscous potential flow shows good agreement with the results from the Navier–Stokes equations for the bubble break-up time, whereas for larger $\mathit{We}$, the former underpredicts the results given by the latter. When viscosity is included, larger break-up times are predicted with respect to the inviscid case for the same $\mathit{We}$. For the drop, and considering moderate Reynolds numbers, $\mathit{Re}$, increasing the viscous effects of the irrotational motion produces large, elongated drops that take longer to break up in comparison with results for inviscid fluids. For larger $\mathit{Re}$, it comes as a surprise that break-up times smaller than the inviscid limit are obtained. Unfortunately, results from numerical analyses of the incompressible, unsteady Navier–Stokes equations for the case of a drop have not been presented in the literature, to the best of the authors’ knowledge; hence, comparison with the viscous irrotational analysis is not possible.
