Some years ago it was pointed out by Prof. Proudman that all slow steady motions of a rotating liquid must be two-dimensional. If the motion is produced by moving a cylindrical object slowly through the liquid in such a way that its axis remains parallel to the axis of rotation, or if a two-dimensional motion is conceived as already existing, it seems clear that it will remain two-dimensional. If a slow three-dimensional motion is produced, then it cannot be a steady one. On the other hand, if an attempt is made to produce a slow steady motion by moving a three-dimensional body with a small uniform velocity (relative to axes which rotate with the fluid) three possibilities present themselves:— ( a ) The motion in the liquid may never become steady, however long the body goes on moving. ( b ) The motion may be steady but it may not be small in the neighbourhood of the body. ( c ) The motion may be steady and two-dimensional. In considering these three possibilities it seems very unlikely that ( a ) will be the true one. In an infinite rotating fluid the disturbance produced by starting the motion of the body might go on spreading out for ever and steady motion might never be attained, but if the body were moved steadily in a direction at right angles to the axis of rotation, and if the fluid were contained between parallel planes also perpendicular to the axis of rotation, it seems very improbable that no steady motion satisfying the equations of motion could be attained. There is more chance that ( b ) may be true. A class of mathematical expressions representing the steady motion of a sphere along the axis of a rotating liquid has been obtained. This solution of the problem breaks down when the velocity of the sphere becomes indefinitely small, in the sense that it represents a motion which does not decrease as the velocity of the sphere decreases. It seems unlikely that such a motion would be produced under experimental conditions.

Rotating Liquid

Starting with the equations of motion for a perfect, incompressible fluid referred to a coordinate system which rotates about a vertical axis with uniform angular velocity R , the physical condition of ‘small motion’ is determined which permits the equations to be linearized. The small motions resulting from forced oscillations of a rotating liquid are investigated. It is shown that there are three types of flow depending on the relative magnitudes of the impressed frequency β and the angular velocity R of the fluid. Two of the regimes are studied in detail. A similarity law is developed which gives the solution of a class of problems of oscillations for β > 2 R in terms of the solutions to similar irrotational problems. An attempt is made to explain how slow, two-dimensional motion can be produced by introducing a boundary condition which is three-dimensional (as observed in experiments performed by G. I. Taylor), by considering problems from the moment at which the disturbance is created from rest relative to the rotating system, with the only initial assumption that the fluid is rotating uniformly like a solid body. For the particular cases studied the results are in agreement with Taylor’s experiments, in that the flow is found to become steady and two-dimensional if the disturbance which causes it approaches a steady state. If the disturbance is due to a body which moves along the axis of rotation of the fluid, the steady two-dimensional behaviour may be expected everywhere except in the neighbourhood of the surface of an infinite cylinder which encloses the body and whose generators are parallel to the axis of rotation. To resolve an apparent disagreement between certain theoretical results by Grace on the one hand, and experimental evidence by Taylor and the author’s conclusions, on the other, arguments are advanced that the various results may be in agreement, provided Grace’s are given a new interpretation.

In some recent papers the author has drawn attention to certain general properties of rotating fluids, especially to the differences which may be expected between two- and three-dimensional motion. Unfortunately, mathematical difficulties have so far prevented the solution of any three-dimensional problem in a rotationally moving fluid from being obtained, except in one case, when the motion is very slow. In this case, Prof. Proudman has shown how it is possible to approximate to the solution of the problem of the slow motion of a sphere in a rotating fluid. Even in this case the analysis is very complicated. There seems little prospect of obtaining a more general solution of the problem when the inertia terms which Proudman neglected are taken into account. On the other hand, it is shown in the following pages that a solution can be obtained in the case when the sphere moves steadily along the axis of rotation of the fluid. The limitation imposed by considering only a steady motion necessarily excludes the case considered by Proudman, for all slow steady motions of a rotating fluid are two-dimensional.

In this paper, we investigate systems of several point masses moving in constant curvature two-dimensional manifolds and subjected to certain holonomic constraints. We show that in certain cases these systems can be considered as rigid bodies in Euclidean and pseudo-Euclidean three-dimensional spaces with points which can move along a curve fixed in the body. We derive the equations of motion which are Hamiltonian with respect to a certain degenerated Poisson bracket. Moreover, we have found several integrable cases of described models. For one of them, we give the necessary and sufficient conditions for the integrability. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Finite dimensional integrable systems: new trends and methods’.

There are a good many known solutions of problems of the three-dimensional motion of an infinite viscous fluid disturbed by a moving solid. The simplest of the corresponding two-dimensional problems, that of a circular cylinder moving with uniform velocity, was shown by Stokes to be impossible, when the equations of motion are simplified by the omission of the so-called “inertia terms”; and a general physical argument, given by him to explain the essential difference between the cases of two- and three-dimensions, suggests that the problem is insoluble for a cylinder of any ordinary form, if the “inertia terms” are neglected.

By following the intrinsic reaction coordinate connecting transition states with energy minima on the potential energy surface, we have determined the reaction steps connecting three-dimensional hexaborane(12) with unknown planar two-dimensional hexaborane(12). In an effort to predict the potential synthesis of finite planar borane molecules, we found that the reaction limiting factor stems from the breaking of the central boron-boron bond perpendicular to the C2 axis of rotation in three-dimensional hexaborane(12).

The paper presents a method for geometric modelling of a four-dimensional ball. For this, the regularities of the change in the shape of the projections of simple geometric images of two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces during rotation are considered. Rotations of a segment and a circle around an axis are considered; it is shown that during rotation the shape of their projections changes from the maximum value to the degenerate projection. It was found that the set of points of the degenerate projection belongs to the axis of rotation, and each n-dimensional geometric image during rotation forms a body of a higher dimension, that is, one that belongs to (n + 1) -dimensional space. Identified regularities are extended to the four-dimensional space in which the ball is placed. It is shown that the axis of rotation of the ball will be a degenerate projection in the form of a circle, and the ball, when rotating, changes its size from a volumetric object to a flat circle, then increases again, but in the other direction (that is, it turns out), and then in reverse order to its original position. This rotation is more like a deformation, and such a ball of four-dimensional space is a hypersphere. For geometric modelling of the hypersphere and the possibility of its projection image, the article uses the vector model proposed by P.V. Filippov. The coordinate system 0xyzt is defined. The algebraic equation of the hypersphere is given by analogy with the three-dimensional space along certain coordinates of the center a, b, c, d. A variant of hypersection at t = 0 is considered, which confirms by equations obtaining a two-dimensional ball of three-dimensional space, a point (a ball of zero radius), which coincides with the center of the ball, or an imaginary ball. For the variant t = d, the equation of a two-dimensional ball is obtained, in which the radius is equal to R and the coordinates of all points along the 0t axis are equal to d. The variant of hypersection t = k turned out to be interesting, in which the equation of a two-dimensional sphere was obtained, in which the coordinates of all points along the 0t axis are equal to k, and the radius is . Horizontal vector projections of hypersection are constructed for different values of k. It is concluded that the set of horizontal vector projections of hypersections at t = k defines an ellipse.

Angle Of Rotation

Two- and three-dimensional simulations of the flow around straked cylinders are presented. For the two-dimensional simulations we used the Spectral/hp Element Method, and carried out simulations for five different angles of rotation of the cylinder with respect to the free stream. Fixed and elastically-mounted cylinders were tested, and the Reynolds number was kept constant and equal to 150. The results were compared to those obtained from the simulation of the flow around a bare cylinder under the same conditions. We observed that the two-dimensional strakes are not effective in suppressing the vibration of the cylinders, but also noticed that the responses were completely different even with a slight change in the angle of rotation of the body. The three-dimensional results showed that there are two mechanisms of suppression: the main one is the decrease in the vortex shedding correlation along the span, whilst a secondary one is the vortex wake formation farther downstream.

The accurate prediction of ground effect aerodynamics is an important aspect of wing-in-ground (WIG) effect vehicle design. When WIG vehicles operate over water, the deformation of the nonrigid surface beneath the body may affect the aerodynamic performance of the craft. The likely surface deformation has been considered from a theoretical and numerical position. Both two-dimensional and three-dimensional cases have been considered, and results show that any deformation occurring on the water surface is likely to be caused by the wing tip vortices rather than an increased pressure distribution beneath the wing.

AbstractThe problem of ice flow over threedimensional basal irregularities is studied by considering the steady motion of a fluid with a linear constitutive equation over sine-shaped basal undulations. The undisturbed flow is simple shear flow with constant depth. Using the ratio of the amplitude of the basal undulations to the ice thickness as perturbation parameter, equations to the first order for the velocity and pressure perturbations are set up and solved.The study shows that when the widths of the basal undulations are larger than 2–3 times their lengths, the finite width of the undulations has only a minor influence on the flow, which to a good approximation may be considered two-dimensional. However, as the ratio between the longitudinal and the transverse wavelengthL/Wincreases, the three-dimensional flow effects becomes substantial. If, for example, the ratio ofLtoWexceeds 3, surface amplitudes are reduced by more than one order of magnitude as compared to the two-dimensional case. TheL/Wratio also influences the depth variation of the amplitudes of internal layers and the depth variation of perturbation velocities and strain-rates. With increasingL/Wratio, the changes of these quantities are concentrated in a near-bottom layer of decreasing thickness. Furthermore, it is shown, that the azimuth of the velocity vector may change by up to 10° between the surface and the base of the ice sheet, and that significant transverse flow may occur at depth without manifesting itself at the surface to any significant degree.

The induced polarization (IP) and electromagnetic (EM) responses of a three‐dimensional body in the earth can be calculated using an integral equation solution. The problem is formulated by replacing the body by a volume of polarization or scattering current. The integral equation is reduced to a matrix equation, which is solved numerically for the electric field in the body. Then the electric and magnetic fields outside the inhomogeneity can be found by integrating the appropriate dyadic Green’s functions over the scattering current. Because half‐space Green’s functions are used, it is only necessary to solve for scattering currents in the body—not throughout the earth. Numerical results for a number of practical cases show, for example, that for moderate conductivity contrasts the dipole‐dipole IP response of a body five units in strike length approximates that of a two‐dimensional body. Moving an IP line off the center of a body produces an effect similar to that of increasing the depth. IP response varies significantly with conductivity contrast; the peak response occurs at higher contrasts for two‐dimensional bodies than for bodies of limited length. Very conductive bodies can produce negative IP response due to EM induction. An electrically polarizable body produces a small magnetic field, so that it is possible to measure IP with a sensitive magnetometer. Calculations show that horizontal loop EM response is enhanced when the background resistivity in the earth is reduced, thus confirming scale model results.
