AbstractIn this paper, we introduce the multi-variate spectral quasi-linearization method which is an extension of the previously reported bivariate spectral quasi-linearization method. The method is a combination of quasi-linearization techniques and the spectral collocation method to solve three-dimensional partial differential equations. We test its applicability on the (2 + 1) dimensional Burgers’ equations. We apply the spectral collocation method to discretize both space variables as well as the time variable. This results in high accuracy in both space and time. Numerical results are compared with known exact solutions as well as results from other papers to confirm the accuracy and efficiency of the method. The results show that the method produces highly accurate solutions and is very efficient for (2 + 1) dimensional PDEs. The efficiency is due to the fact that only few grid points are required to archive high accuracy. The results are portrayed in tables and graphs.

Source Of Information

The purpose of this note is to describe a particular class of steady fluid flows, for which the techniques of classical hydrodynamics and boundary-layer theory determine uniquely the asymptotic flow for large Reynolds number for each of a continuously varied set of boundary conditions. The flows involve viscous layers in the interior of the flow domain, as well as boundary layers, and the investigation is unusual in that the position and structure of all the viscous layers are determined uniquely. The note is intended to be an illustration of the principles that lead to this determination, not a source of information of practical value.The flows take place in a two-dimensional channel with porous walls through which fluid is uniformly injected or extracted. When fluid is extracted through both walls there are boundary layers on both walls and the flow outside these layers is irrotational. When fluid is extracted through one wall and injected through the other, there is a boundary layer only on the former wall and the inviscid rotational flow outside this layer satisfies the no-slip condition on the other wall. When fluid is injected through both walls there are no boundary layers, but there is a viscous layer in the interior of the channel, across which the second derivative of the tangential velocity is discontinous, and the position of this layer is determined by the requirement that the inviscid rotational flows on either side of it must satisfy the no-slip conditions on the walls.

Large Reynolds Number

The development and growth of unsteady three-dimensional vortical disturbances entrained in the entry region of a circular pipe is investigated by asymptotic and numerical methods for Reynolds numbers between $1000$ and $10\,000$ , based on the pipe radius and the bulk velocity. Near the pipe mouth, composite asymptotic solutions describe the dynamics of the oncoming disturbances, revealing how these disturbances are altered by the viscous layer attached to the pipe wall. The perturbation velocity profiles near the pipe mouth are employed as rigorous initial conditions for the boundary-region equations, which describe the flow in the limit of low frequency and large Reynolds number. The disturbance flow is initially primarily present within the base-flow boundary layer in the form of streamwise-elongated vortical structures, i.e. the streamwise velocity component displays an intense algebraic growth, while the cross-flow velocity components decay. Farther downstream the disturbance flow occupies the whole pipe, although the base flow is mostly inviscid in the core. The transient growth and subsequent viscous decay are confined in the entrance region, i.e. where the base flow has not reached the fully developed Poiseuille profile. Increasing the Reynolds number and decreasing the frequency causes more intense perturbations, whereas small azimuthal wavelengths and radial characteristic length scales intensify the viscous dissipation of the disturbance. The azimuthal wavelength that causes the maximum growth is found. The velocity profiles are compared successfully with available experimental data and the theoretical results are helpful to interpret the only direct numerical dataset of a disturbed pipe-entry flow.

Some of the statistical characteristics of the breakdown coefficient, defined as the ratio of averages over different spatial regions of positive variables characterizing the fine structure and internal intermittency in high Reynolds number turbulence, have been investigated using experimental data for the streamwise velocity derivative ∂u/∂tmeasured in an atmospheric boundary layer. The assumptions and predictions of the hypothesis of scale similarity developed by Novikov and by Gurvich & Yaglom do not adequately describe or predict the statistical characteristics of the breakdown coefficientqr,lof the square of the streamwise velocity derivative. Systematic variations in the measured probability densities and consistent variations in the measured moments show that the assumption that the probability density of the breakdown coefficient is a function only of the scale ratio is not satisfied. The small positive correlation between adjoint values ofqr,land measurements of higher moments indicate that the assumption that the probability densities for adjoint values ofqr,lare statistically independent is also not satisfied. The moments ofqr,ldo not have the simple power-law character that is a consequence of scale similarity.As the scale ratiol/rchanges, the probability density ofqr,levolves from a sharply peaked, highly negatively skewed density for large values of the scale ratio to a very symmetrical distribution when the scale ratio is equal to two, and then to a highly positively skewed density as the scale ratio approaches one. There is a considerable effect of heterogeneity on the values of the higher moments, and a small but measurable effect on the mean value. The moments are roughly symmetrical functions of the displacement of the shorter segment from the centre of the larger one, with a minimum value when the shorter segment is centrally located within the larger one.
