Structure Of Flow

Steady states of a translationally-symmetric cylindrical bubble protruding from a slot in a solid wall into a liquid undergoing a simple shear flow are investigated. Deformations of and the flow past the bubble are determined by solving the nonlinear free-boundary problem comprised of the two-dimensional Navier–Stokes system by the Galerkin/finite element method. Under conditions of creeping flow, the results of finite element computations are shown to agree well with asymptotic results. When the Reynolds number Re is finite, flow separates from the free surface and a recirculating eddy forms behind the bubble. The length of the separated eddy measured in the flow direction increases with Re, whereas its width is confined to within the region that lies between the supporting solid surface and the separation point at the free surface. By tracking solution branches in parameter space with an arc-length continuation method, curves of bubble deformation versus Reynolds number are found to exhibit turning points when Re reaches a critical value Rec. Therefore, along a family of bubble shapes, solutions do not exist when Re > Rec. The locations of turning points and the structure of flow fields are found to be governed virtually by a single parameter, We = Ca Re, where We and Ca are Weber and capillary numbers. Two markedly different modes of bubble deformation are identified at finite Re. One is dominant when Re is small and is tantamount to a plain skewing or tilting of the bubble in the downstream direction; the other becomes more pronounced when Re is large and corresponds to a pure upward stretching of the bubble tip.

Gravity Driven

We study the stability of the interface between (a) two adjacent viscous layers flowing due to gravity through an inclined or vertical channel that is confined between two parallel plane walls, and (b) two superimposed liquid films flowing down an inclined or vertical plane wall, in the limit of Stokes flow. In the case of channel flow, linear stability analysis predicts that, when the fluids are stably stratified, the flow is neutrally stable when the surface tension vanishes and the channel is vertical, and stable otherwise. This behaviour contrasts with that of the gravity-driven flow of two superimposed films flowing down an inclined plane, where an instability has been identified when the viscosity of the fluid next to the plane is less than that of the top fluid, even in the absence of fluid inertia. We investigate the nonlinear stages of the motion subject to finite-amplitude two-dimensional perturbations by numerical simulations based on boundary-integral methods. In both cases of channel and film flow, the mathematical formulation results in integral equations for the unknown interface and free-surface velocity. The properties of the integral equation for multi-film flow are investigated with reference to the feasibility of computing a solution by the method of successive substitutions, and a deflation strategy that allows an iterative procedure is developed. In the case of channel flow, the numerical simulations show that disturbances of sufficiently large amplitude may cause permanent deformation in which the interface folds or develops elongated fingers. The ratio of the viscosities and densities of the two fluids plays an important role in determining the morphology of the emerging interfacial patterns. Comparing the numerical results with the predictions of a model based on the lubrication approximation shows that the simplified approach can only describe a limited range of motions. In the case of film flow down an inclined plane, we develop a method for extracting the properties of the normal modes, including the ratio of the amplitudes of the free-surface and interfacial waves and their relative phase lag, from the results of a numerical simulation for small deformations. The numerical procedure employs an adaptation of Prony's method for fitting a signal described by a time series to a sum of complex exponentials; in the present case, the signal is identified with the cosine or sine Fourier coefficients of the interface and free-surface waves. Numerical simulations of the nonlinear motion confirm that the deformability of the free surface is necessary for the growth of small-amplitude perturbations, and show that the morphology of the interfacial patterns developing subject to finite-amplitude perturbations is qualitatively similar to that for channel flow.

The Time Domain

A numerical model has been developed to determine the large-amplitude motions of a steered vessel subjected to severe wave conditions, including those that may lead to capsizing. The model was used to identify different modes of capsizing, and to study relevant mechanisms and conditions. In this paper emphasis is placed on the theoretical aspects. The nonlinear model combines both potential and viscous flow effects, where integrations are carried out in the time domain over the instantaneous free surface; first-order memory effects are taken into account, and the free surface can be irregular, Some new results are presented concerning statistical properties relevant to the simulation of random following or quartering seas.

Run Up

In this study, the motion of free-surface generated by vertically dropping water through a nozzle into a portable water storage tank with a convex bottom in calm conditions was numerically simulated using the nonlinear Peregrine model. The hydrodynamic force at the vertical wall was calculated after measuring the maximum run-up amplitude of the free-surface. The degree of improvement of the results using a nonlinear model was identified by its comparison with numerical results using the linear Peregrine model. Finally, it is expected that the hydrodynamic forces on the vertical wall of the storage tank with a convex bottom can be reduced to a certain extent compared to the concave bottom and can therefore be utilized as basic data for the structural design of an ideal storage tank.
