In this paper we investigate the movement of free boundaries in the two-dimensional Hele-Shaw problem. By means of the construction of special solutions of self-similar type we can describe the evolution of free boundary corners in terms of the angle at the corner. In particular, we prove that, in the injection case, while obtuse-angled corners move and smooth out instantaneously, acute-angled corners persist until a (finite) waiting time at which, at least for the special solutions, they suddenly jump into an obtuse angle, precisely the supplement of the original one. The critical values of the angle π and π/2 are also considered.

Two Dimensional Flows

The paper contains a summary of relevant earlier work on free-boundary problems (§1) and then considers the initial development of steady two-dimensional flows. The motion of an incompressible in viscid fluid with free boundaries is considered (§2) by transforming into the hodograph plane (In q 0 / U , θ 0 ) of the steady flow. The equation of the free boundary and the velocity potential are expanded in powers of e- λt . Thus ϕ ( x, y, t ) = ϕ 0 ( x, y ) + e - λt ϕ 1 ( x, y ) + ..., where ϕ 0 is the known steady-state solution and ϕ 1 is to be determined. The exact boundary condition, which is the unsteady form of Bernoulli’s equation, is applied on the free boundary which is not taken as a streamline. A general discussion of the validity of the approach is given (§3). It is foreshadowed that for jet flow through a slit the predicted shape of the jet will probably have a kink at the nose; this is consistent with the assumptions made in the analysis.

Free Boundaries

We consider the two-dimensional quasi-steady Stokes flow of an incompressible Newtonian fluid occupying a time-dependent simply-connected region bounded by a free surface, the motion being driven solely by a constant surface tension acting at the free boundary. Of particular concern here are such flows that start from an initial configuration with the fluid occupying an array of touching circular disks. We show that, when there are N such disks in a general position, the evolution of the fluid region is described by a conformal map involving 2N−1 time-dependent parameters whose variation is governed by N invariants and N−1 first order differential equations. When N=2, or when the problem enjoys some special features of symmetry, the moving boundary of the fluid domain during the motion can be determined by solving purely algebraic equations, the solution of a single differential equation being needed only to link a particular boundary shape to a particular time. The analysis is aided by exploiting a connection with Hele-Shaw free boundary flows when the zero-surface-tension model is employed. If the initial configuration for the Stokes flow problem can be produced by injection (or suction) at N points into an initially empty Hele-Shaw cell, as can the N-disk configuration referred to above, then so can all later configurations; the points where the fluid must be injected move, but the amount to be injected at each of the N points remains invariant. The efficacy of our solution procedure is illustrated by a number of examples, and we exploit the method to show that the free boundary in such a Stokes flow driven by surface tension alone may pass through a cusped state.

Part of the friction between two rough surfaces is due to the interlocking between asperities on opposite surfaces. In order for the surfaces to slide relative to each other, these interlocking asperities have to deform plastically. Here, we study the unit process of plastic ploughing of a single micrometer-scale asperity by means of two-dimensional dislocation dynamics simulations. Plastic deformation is described through the generation, motion, and annihilation of edge dislocations inside the asperity as well as in the subsurface. We find that the force required to plough an asperity at different ploughing depths follows a Gaussian distribution. For self-similar asperities, the friction stress is found to increase with the inverse of size. Comparison of the friction stress is made with other two contact models to show that interlocking asperities that are larger than ∼2 μm are easier to shear off plastically than asperities with a flat contact.

Abstract The stagnation point flow of a non-Newtonian Reiner–Rivlin fluid has been studied in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. The technique of similarity transformation has been used to obtain the self-similar ordinary differential equations. In this paper, an attempt has been made to prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the resulting free boundary value problem. Monotonic behavior of the solution is discussed. The numerical results, shown through a table and graphs, elucidate that the flow is significantly affected by the non-Newtonian cross-viscous parameter L and the magnetic parameter M.

Shock waves are steep wavefronts that are fundamental in nature, especially in high-speed fluid flows. When a shock hits an obstacle, or a flying body meets a shock, shock reflection/diffraction phenomena occur. In this paper, we show how several long-standing shock reflection/diffraction problems can be formulated as free boundary problems, discuss some recent progress in developing mathematical ideas, approaches and techniques for solving these problems, and present some further open problems in this direction. In particular, these shock problems include von Neumann's problem for shock reflection–diffraction by two-dimensional wedges with concave corner, Lighthill's problem for shock diffraction by two-dimensional wedges with convex corner, and Prandtl-Meyer's problem for supersonic flow impinging onto solid wedges, which are also fundamental in the mathematical theory of multidimensional conservation laws.
