Pressure distribution and the effect of air injection in the separated flow over a spiked-hemisphere were investigated at a Mach number of 3·3, and Reynolds number around the transitional value. Pressure distribution along the spike as well as over the body was measured in the absence of injection. Air was injected into the separated flow at the spike tip and base and reattachment region through one or more orifices drilled normal to the surface, and the resulting flow patterns were observed using the schlieren technique. The results show that (i) the pressure variation along the spike is similar to a two-dimensional separated flow in the transition régime; and (ii) the mass injection at the spike tip has a strong destabilizing effect regardless of injection rate, while the injection from spike base and reattachment region can be either slightly stabilizing or destabilizing depending on the flow condition.

Static Pressure Distribution

An experimental aerodynamic boundary-layer investigation is performed over the suction surfaces of a typical two-dimensional mast/sail geometry. Velocity profiles are obtained at a number of locations which, together with visualization data and the corresponding static pressure distribution, are used to describe the fundamental nature of the complex partially separated flow field associated with such geometries. The velocity profiles are fully analyzed to provide thickness parameters and skin friction coefficients, suitable for use as representative data in the development of predictive theories involving viscid-inviscid interactions. The chordwise variations of the thickness parameters are graphically presented and discussed.

Abstract This paper describes one of the aspects of the panel method to analyze the aerodynamic characteristics of a sedan. The linear vortex panel method has been developed to simulate the ideal flow over a two-dimensional arbitrary car and, it also calculates the aerodynamic load on the body. By satisfying the boundary conditions on each control point, our linear algebraic equations are obtained. The results are sensitive to the distribution of the panels over the body thus the body is broken up equally into very small panels. After solving the set of equations, the vortices strength is obtained and the pressure distribution for the upper and the lower surface of the body is calculated. The impact of the angle of attack on the aerodynamic behavior of the intended car is investigated and it is found that the lift coefficient increases with the free stream angle from -4 to 4. The accuracy of the results has been determined by checking them against the standard CFD data. The pressure distribution trend is found very much in confirmation with the CFD results, however, a discrepancy at the rear end is observed. Therefore, it can be concluded that this method does not seem practical for geometries with steep slopes in the rear part of the car. Finally, both methods are applied to the other modified geometries with lower slopes at the rear section and the results compare well with the fluent.

AbstractThe response of a two-dimensional liquid foam to a localized air injection is investigated experimentally and theoretically. The experiments show a rich phenomenology, with two essentially distinct behaviours, depending on the injection conditions. At low flux, the injected air forms a central bubble that grows inside the foam and induces plastic rearrangements, without film rupture. This ‘pure swelling’ regime is reminiscent of ductile fracture. In this regime, the central bubble shows fingering patterns beyond a certain velocity. The dependence among the swelling rate, the injection overpressure and the other control parameters, namely cell gap, bubble size and foam area, is captured by a simple balance between the pressure drop and bubble/wall friction under a radial assumption. Fingering is successfully modelled by the linear stability analysis of an azimuthal perturbation of the radial model; yield stress becomes an important parameter to determine the finger width. At high injection rate, films are broken and narrow cracks form rapidly through the foam, reminiscent of brittle fracture. Criteria for the transition between ductile and brittle behaviours are investigated, both at the local and global scales.

AbstractAhmed Body is a standard and simplified shape of a road vehicle that's rear part has an important role in flow structure and it's drag force. In this paper flow control around the Ahmed body with the rear slant angle of 25° studied by using the plasma actuator system situated in middle of the rear slant surface. Experiments conducted in a wind tunnel in two free stream velocities of U = 10m/s and U = 20m/s using steady and unsteady excitations. Pressure distribution and total drag force were measured and smoke flow visualization carried out in this study. The results showed that at U = 10m/s using plasma actuator suppress the separated flow over the rear slant slightly and be effective on pressure distribution. Also, total drag force reduces in steady and unsteady excitations for 3.65% and 2.44%, respectively. At U = 20m/s, using plasma actuator had no serious effect on the pressure distribution and total drag force.

Surface Flow Visualization

Using the method pioneered by Gurzhienko (1934), the crossflow separation produced by a body of revolution in a steady turn is examined using a stationary deformed body placed in a wind tunnel. The body of revolution was deformed about a radius equal to three times the body's length. Surface pressure and skin-friction measurements revealed regions of separated flow occurring over the rear of the model. Extensive surface flow visualization showed the presence of separated flow bounded by a separation and reattachment line. This region of separated flow began just beyond the midpoint of the length of the body, which was consistent with the skin-friction data. Extensive turbulence measurements were performed at four cross-sections through the wake including two stations located beyond the length of the model. These measurements revealed the location of the off-body vortex, the levels of turbulent kinetic energy within the shear layer producing the off-body vorticity and the large values of 〈uw〉 stress within the wake. Velocity spectra measurements taken at several points in the wake show evidence of the inertial sublayer. Finally, surface flow topologies and outer-flow topologies are suggested based on the results of the surface flow visualization.

Complementary Mechanism

We study the Magnus effect: deflection of the trajectory of a spinning body moving in a gas. It is well known that in rarefied gases, the inverse Magnus effect takes place, which means that the transversal component of the force acting on the body has opposite signs in sparse and relatively dense gases. The existing works derive the inverse effect from non-elastic interaction of gas particles with the body. We propose another (complementary) mechanism of creating the transversal force owing to multiple collisions of particles in cavities of the body surface. We limit ourselves to the two-dimensional case of a rough disc moving through a zero-temperature medium on the plane, where reflections of the particles from the body are elastic and mutual interaction of the particles is neglected. We represent the force acting on the disc and the moment of this force as functionals depending on ‘shape of the roughness’, and determine the set of all admissible forces. The disc trajectory is determined for several simple cases. The study is made by means of billiard theory, Monge–Kantorovich optimal mass transport and by numerical methods.

Outer Circumference

This article presents the friction torque in an internal gear pump and the friction force between an outer circumference of an outer rotor and a body, which causes a significant loss, has been investigated. When in use at a high pressure, the pump has a large friction torque due to the friction force acting on the outer rotor circumference. This friction force is caused by imbalanced force acting on the outer rotor. As well as by a positioning suction and a delivery port, the force can be reduced by setting a suction pressure recess in a section of the outer rotor circumference. In this study, through the measurement of the friction torque in an actual pump and the pressure distribution on the outer circumference of the outer rotor, it is investigated how the suction pressure recess can change the force acting on the outer rotor. The actual internal gear pump without the suction pressure recess has a large friction torque, and it corresponds to a large force on the outer rotor, which is calculated from the pressure distributions on the inside and outside of the outer rotor. In addition, on the basis of the measured friction torque of the test pump and the force acting on the outer rotor, calculated using the results of the pressure distribution, the coefficient of friction between the outer rotor circumference and the body can be estimated.

Abstract The intervertebral disc consists of a water-rich extra-cellular matrix which is synthesized and maintained by its cells. The disc is the largest avascular tissue in the body with its cells lying as much as 8mm away from the blood supply. Nutrients, essential for maintaining cellular viability, diffuse through the matrix from blood supply under a concentration gradient arising from cellular demand. The oxygen concentration gradients in the intervertebral disc are investigated to examine the effects of exchange area and disc thickness on oxygen flux in the disc. The concentration gradients are computed using the two-dimensional Poisson’s equation and measured values for oxygen consumption rate and oxygen diffusion.
