Summary A method is described for calculating wall interference in solid-wall wind tunnels from measurements of static pressures at the walls. Since it does not require a simulation of the model flow, the technique is particularly suited to determining wall interference for complex flows such as those over VSTOL aircraft, helicopters and bluff shapes (e.g. cars and trucks). An experimental evaluation shows that the method gives wall-induced velocities which are in good agreement with those of existing methods in cases where these techniques are valid, and illustrates its effectiveness for inclined jets which are not readily modelled.

Abstract In this paper, I review some of our work on the use of magneto hydrodynamics (MHD) for pumping, controlling, and stirring fluids in microdevices. In many applications, one operates with liquids that are at least slightly conductive such as biological fluids. By patterning electrodes inside flow conduits and subjecting these electrodes to potential differences, one can induce electric currents in the liquid. In the presence of a magnetic field, a Lorentz force is generated in a direction that is perpendicular to both the magnetic and electric fields. Since one has a great amount of freedom in patterning the electrodes, one can induce forces in various directions so as to generate complex flows including “guided” flows in virtual, wall-less channels. The magnetic flux generators can be either embedded in the device or be external. Despite their unfavorable scaling (the magnitude of the forces is proportional to the fluid volume), MHD offers many advantages such as the flexibility of applying forces in any desired direction and the ability to adjust the magnitude of the forces by adjusting either the electric and/or magnetic fields. We provide examples of (i) MHD pumps; (ii) controlled networks of conduits in which each conduit is equipped with a MHD actuator and by controlling the voltage applied to each actuator, one can direct the liquid to flow in any desired way without a need for valves; and (iii) MHD stirrers including stirrers that exhibit chaotic advection.

It is known that the Lattice Boltzmann Method is not very effective when it is being used for the high speed compressible viscous flows; especially complex fluid flows around bodies. Different reasons have been reported for this unsuccessfulness; Lacking in required isotropy in the employed lattices and the restriction of having low Mach number in Taylor expansion of the Maxwell Boltzmann distribution as the equilibrium distribution function, might be mentioned as the most important ones. In present study, a new numerical method based on Li et al. scheme is introduced which enables the Lattice BoltzmannMethod to stably simulate the complex flows around a 2D circular cylinder. Furthermore, more stable implementation of boundary conditions in Lattice Boltzmann method is discussed.

It is proved that complex flows of the viscous compressible heat-conducting gas, arising during heating the vertical field, have a pronounced axial symmetry. Therefore, for the numerical solution of the full Navier-Stokes equations for description of such gas flows it are advisable to use a cylindrical coordinate system. This paper describes the transformation of the first projection of the equation of motion of the full Navier-Stokes equations system. The result of the transformation is a record of the first projection of the equation of a continuous medium motion in the cylindrical coordinate system.
