Approach To Steady State

Horizontal exchange flows driven by spatial variation of buoyancy fluxes through the water surface are found in a variety of geophysical situations. In all examples of such flows the timescale characterizing the variability of the buoyancy fluxes is important and it can vary greatly in magnitude. In this laboratory study we focus on the effects of this unsteadiness of the buoyancy forcing and its influence on the resulting flushing and circulation processes in a cavity. The experiments described all start with destabilizing forcing of the flows, but the buoyancy fluxes are switched to stabilizing forcing at three different times spanning the major timescales characterizing the resulting cavity-scale flows. For destabilizing forcing, these timescales are the flushing time of the region of forcing, and the filling-box timescale, the time for the cavity-scale flow to reach steady state. When the forcing is stabilizing, the major timescale is the time for the fluid in the exchange flow to pass once through the forcing boundary layer. This too is a measure of the time to reach steady state, but it is generally distinct from the filling-box time. When a switch is made from destabilizing to stabilizing buoyancy flux, inertia is important and affects the approach to steady state of the subsequent flow. Velocities of the discharges from the end regions, whether forced in destabilizing or stabilizing ways, scaled as u∼(Bl)1/3 (where B is the forcing buoyancy flux and l is the length of the forcing region) in accordance with Phillips' (1966) results. Discharges with destabilizing and stabilizing forcing were, respectively, Q−∼(Bl)1/3H and Q+∼(Bl)1/3δ (where H is the depth below or above the forcing plate and δ is the boundary layer thickness). Thus Q−/Q+>O(1) provided H>O(δ), as was certainly the case in the experiments reported, demonstrating the overall importance of the flushing processes occurring during periods of cooling or destabilizing forcing.

Steady State Problem

The steady state problem of the planar hydrostatic foil bearing is analyzed and solved numerically. Two techniques of solution are used. One method is simulation in time with asymptotic approach to steady state. This is achieved by a preprocessor which automatically sets up the numerical computer program. The second method is an iterative shooting technique. The results agree well with one another. Curves of pressure and typical film thickness versus flow are presented.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to identify a novel methodology for direct calculation of steady-state periodic solutions for electrical circuits described by nonlinear differential equations, in the time domain. Design/methodology/approach An iterative algorithm was created to determine periodic steady-state solutions for circuits with nonlinear elements in a chosen set of time instants. Findings This study found a novel differential operator for periodic functions and its application in the steady-state analysis. Research limitations/implications This approach can be extended to the determination of two- or multi-periodic solutions of nonlinear dynamic systems. Practical implications The complexity of the steady-state analysis can be reduced in comparison with the frequency-domain approach. Originality/value This study identified novel difference equations for direct steady-state analysis of nonlinear electrical circuits.
