Two-dimensional free-surface flows, which are uniform far upstream in a channel of finite depth that ends suddenly, are computed numerically. The ending is in the form of a vertical wall, which may force the flow upward before it falls down forever as a jet under the effect of gravity. Both subcritical and supercritical solutions are presented. The subcritical solutions are a one-parameter family of solutions, the single parameter being the ratio between the height of the wall and the height of the uniform flow far upstream. On the other hand, the supercritical solutions are a two-parameter family of solutions, the second parameter being the Froude number. Moreover, for some combinations of the parameters, it is shown that the solution is not unique.

Supercritical Flows

This article considers certain two-dimensional, irrotational, steady flows in fluid regions of finite depth and infinite horizontal extent. Geometrical information about these flows and their singularities is obtained, using a variant of a classical comparison principle. The results are applied to three types of problems: (i) supercritical solitary waves carrying planing surfaces or surfboards, (ii) supercritical flows past ship hulls and (iii) supercritical interfacial solitary waves in systems consisting of two immiscible fluids.

AbstractThe three-dimensional analogue of Moffatt eddies is derived for a corner formed by the intersection of three orthogonal planes. The complex exponents of the first few modes are determined and the flows resulting from the primary modes (those which decay least rapidly as the apex is approached and, hence, should dominate the near-apex flow) examined in detail. There are two independent primary modes, one symmetric, the other antisymmetric, with respect to reflection in one of the symmetry planes of the cone. Any linear combination of these modes yields a possible primary flow. Thus, there is not one, but a two-parameter family of such flows. The particle-trajectory equations are integrated numerically to determine the streamlines of primary flows. Three special cases in which the flow is antisymmetric under reflection lead to closed streamlines. However, for all other cases, the streamlines are not closed and quasi-periodic limiting trajectories are approached when the trajectory equations are integrated either forwards or backwards in time. A generic streamline follows the backward-time trajectory in from infinity, undergoes a transient phase in which particle motion is no longer quasi-periodic, before being thrown back out to infinity along the forward-time trajectory.

A similarity solution has been obtained for a fluid jet bounded on one side by a separation bubble and on the other by an unbounded region containing the same fluid. The inner boundary has been approximated by a porous pseudowall. The resulting mathematical model reduces to other cases such as the plane wall jet and the free curved jet. A two-parameter family of solutions to the resulting nonlinear equation for the outer half of the jet correlates well with experimental data.
