Dam Breaking

The flow caused by a dam breaking across its entire length can be approximated by a one-dimensional, unsteady flow model in form of the St. Venant equations. In this model, the flow is governed by the river geometry and the river roughness, which is quantified by Manning's coefficient. The roughness characteristics are generally difficult to estimate under natural conditions. Thus, the estimates of the Manning's coefficient will in general be subject to uncertainty. In this paper, the uncertainty in the discharge and depth hydrographs due to the uncertainty in estimating the roughness characteristics of a river, is investigated. A specific case of the Noppikoski dam in Sweden that failed in 1985 is used to illustrate the sensitivity of the flow simulation on the roughness coefficient. The analysis shows that the uncertainty in the dam break flow simulation due to the uncertainty in estimating Manning's coefficient, is significant. The uncertainty is larger at greater distances from the dam, and is greater for the discharge hydrograph than for the depth hydrograph.

Supercritical Flows

This paper describes steady two-dimensional disturbances forced on the interface of a two-layer fluid by flow over an isolated obstacle. The oncoming flow speed is close to the linear longwave speed and the layer densities, layer depths and obstacle height are chosen so that the equations of motion reduce to the forced two-dimensional Korteweg–de Vries equation with cubic nonlinearity, i.e. the forced extended Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation. The distinctive feature noted here is the appearance in the far lee-wave wake behind obstacles in subcritical flow of a ‘table-top’ wave extending almost one-dimensionally for many obstacles widths across the flow. Numerical integrations show that the most important parameter determining whether this wave appears is the departure from criticality, with the wave appearing in slightly subcritical flows but being destroyed by two-dimensional effects behind even quite long ridges in even moderately subcritical flow. The wave appears after the flow has passed through a transition from subcritical to supercritical over the obstacle and its leading and trailing edges resemble dissipationless leaps standing in supercritical flow. Two-dimensional steady supercritical flows are related to one-dimensional unsteady flows with time in the unsteady flow associated with a slow cross-stream variable in the two-dimensional flows. Thus the wide cross-stream extent of the table-top wave appears to derive from the combination of its occurrence in a supercritical region embedded in the subcritical flow and the propagation without change of form of table-top waves in one-dimensional unsteady flow. The table-top wave here is associated with a resonant steepening of the transition above the obstacle and a consequent twelve-fold increase in drag. Remarkably, the table-top wave is generated equally strongly and extends laterally equally as far behind an axisymmetric obstacle as behind a ridge and so leads to subcritical flows differing significantly from linear predictions.

Average Flow Model

The average flow model presented by Patir and Cheng [1] is evaluated. First, it is shown that the choice of grid used in the average flow model influences the results. The results presented are different from those given by Patir and Cheng. Second, it is shown that the introduction of two-dimensional flow greatly reduces the effect of roughness on flow. Results based on one-dimensional flow cannot be relied upon for two-dimensional problems. Finally, some average flow factors are given for truncated rough surfaces. These can be applied to partially worn surfaces. The most important conclusion reached is that an even closer examination of the average flow concept is needed before the results can be applied with confidence to lubrication problems.

Abstract Supersonic combustion induced by a two-shock system has been studied using a chemical nonequilibrium, quasi one-dimensional flow model. The combustion of stoichiometric, premixed H2-air is described by a chemistry model which consists of 11 species and 28 reactions. The freestream Mach numbers used in this calculations are 8, 10 and 12. The initial pressure is 0.01 atm and temperature 300 K. The first of the two shocks is a conical shock and the second is its reflection. Supersonic combustion has been predicted to occur at combustor pressures between 0.8 and 2.9 atmospheres, and temperatures between 1500 and 3000 K. The Mach number of the flow in the combustor is between 1.7 and 4. These combustor conditions are typical of the future hypersonic propulsion systems. The results also show the changes in the composition of the flow during the induction and heat release phases. The two-shock system is assumed to be generated by a cone. For Mach 8, 10 and 12, the minimum cone angle for generating a strong enough two-shock system to induce supersonic combustion has also been identified.

Recently, commingling production has been widely used for the development of offshore heavy oil reservoirs with multilayers. However, the differences between layers in terms of reservoir physical properties, oil properties and pressure have always resulted in interlayer interference, which makes it more difficult to evaluate the producing degree of commingled production. Based on the Buckley–Leverett theory, this paper presents two theoretical models, a one-dimensional linear flow model and a planar radial flow model, for water-flooded multilayer reservoirs. Through the models, this paper establishes a dynamic method to evaluate seepage resistance, sweep efficiency and recovery percent and then conducts an analysis with field data. The result indicates the following: (1) the dynamic difference in seepage resistance is an important form of interlayer interference during the commingled production of an offshore multilayer reservoir; (2) the difference between commingled production and separated production is small within a certain range of permeability ratio or viscosity ratio, but separated production should be adopted when the ratio exceeds a certain value.
