Three-dimensional spatially growing perturbations in a two-dimensional compressible boundary layer are considered within the scope of linearized Navier–Stokes equations. The Cauchy problem is solved under the assumption of a finite growth rate of the disturbances. It is shown that the solution can be presented as an expansion into a biorthogonal eigenfunction system. The result can be used in a decomposition of flow fields derived from computational studies when pressure, temperature, and all the velocity components, together with some of their derivatives, are available. The method can also be used if partial data are available when a priori information may be utilized in the decomposition algorithm.

This paper is devoted to the computational analysis of three-dimensional free surface flows. The model solves the Navier-Stokes equations without any a priori restriction on the pressure distribution. The variational formulation along with the solution algorithm are presented. Finally, the model is used to study the hydrodynamic regime in the vicinity of a projected harbor installation. Key words: free surface flows, three-dimensional flows, finite element method.

Nonparallel stability of the compressible boundary layers for three-dimensional configurations having large curvature variation on the surface is investigated by using the parabolic stability equations, which are derived from the Navier-Stokes equations in the curvilinear coordinate system. The difference schemes with fourth-order accuracy can be used in the entire computational regions. The global method is combined with the local method using a new iterative formula, thus more precise eigenvalues are obtained, and fast convergences are achieved. Computed curves of the amplification factor and shape functions of disturbances show clearly variable process of the flow stability, and agree well with other available results.

In this paper, I consider the Cauchy problem for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in ℝ + n for n ≥ 3 with bounded initial data and derive a priori estimates of the maximum norm of all derivatives of the solution in terms of the maximum norm of the initial data. This paper is a continuation of my work in my previous papers, where the initial data are considered in T n and ℝ n respectively. In this paper, because of the nonempty boundary in our domain of interest, the details in obtaining the desired result are significantly different and more challenging than the work of my previous papers. This challenges arise due to the possible noncommutativity nature of the Leray projector with the derivatives in the direction of normal to the boundary of the domain of interest. Therefore, we only consider one derivative of the velocity field in that direction.

We present a theoretical description of flow-induced self-excited oscillations in the Starling resistor—a pre-stretched thin-walled elastic tube that is mounted on two rigid tubes and enclosed in a pressure chamber. Assuming that the flow through the elastic tube is driven by imposing the flow rate at the downstream end, we study the development of small-amplitude long-wavelength high-frequency oscillations, combining the results of two previous studies in which we analysed the fluid and solid mechanics of the problem in isolation. We derive a one-dimensional eigenvalue problem for the frequencies and mode shapes of the oscillations, and determine the slow growth or decay of the normal modes by considering the system’s energy budget. We compare the theoretical predictions for the mode shapes, frequencies and growth rates with the results of direct numerical simulations, based on the solution of the three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations, coupled to the equations of shell theory, and find good agreement between the results. Our results provide the first asymptotic predictions for the onset of self-excited oscillations in three-dimensional collapsible tube flows.

In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in Rn for n ≥ 3 with smooth periodic initial data and derive a priori estimtes of the maximum norm of all derivatives of the solution in terms of the maximum norm of the initial data. This paper is a special case of a paper by H-O Kreiss and J. Lorenz which also generalizes the main result of their paper to higher dimension.

The paper considers the regularity problem on three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in general orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems. We establish one regularity criteria of the weak solutions involving only in a vorticity component ω 3 and one a priori estimate on the solution that H 3 u 3 L ∞ 0 , T ; L p ℝ 3 is bounded for 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞ to three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems. These extent greatly the corresponding results on axisymmetric cylindrical flow.

Splitter blades located between stator blades in a single-stage axial compressor were proposed and investigated in this work to find their effects on aerodynamic performance and operating stability. Aerodynamic performance of the compressor was evaluated using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations using the k-e turbulence model with a scalable wall function. The numerical results for the typical performance parameters without stator splitter blades were validated in comparison with experimental data. The numerical results of a parametric study using four geometric parameters (chord length, coverage angle, height and position) of the stator splitter blades showed that the operational stability of the single-stage axial compressor enhances remarkably using the stator splitter blades. The splitters were effective in suppressing flow separation in the stator domain of the compressor at near-stall condition which affects considerably the aerodynamic performance of the compressor.

A three-dimensional numerical study of a single droplet splashing vertically on a liquid film is presented. The numerical method is based on the finite volume method (FVM) of Navier–Stokes equations coupled with the volume of fluid (VOF) method, and the adaptive local mesh refinement technology is adopted. It enables the liquid–gas interface to be tracked more accurately, and to be less computationally expensive. The relationship between the diameter of the free rim, the height of the crown with different numbers of collision Weber, and the thickness of the liquid film is explored. The results indicate that the crown height increases as the Weber number increases, and the diameter of the crown rim is inversely proportional to the collision Weber number. It can also be concluded that the dimensionless height of the crown decreases with the increase in the thickness of the dimensionless liquid film, which has little effect on the diameter of the crown rim during its growth.
