The Stability

The stability of the flow produced over an infinite stationary plane in a fluid rotating with uniform angular velocity at an infinite distance from the plane is considered. The basic flow is an exact solution of the Navier–Stokes equations making it amenable to theoretical study. An asymptotic investigation is presented in the limit of large Reynolds number. It is shown that the stationary spiral instabilities observed experimentally can be described by a linear inviscid stability analysis. The prediction obtained for the wave angle of the disturbances is found to agree well with the available experimental and numerical results.

The Stability

The motion of a viscous incompressible liquid between two parallel disks, moving towards each other or in opposite directions, is considered. The description of possible conditions of motion is based on the exact solution of the Navier–Stokes equations. Both stationary and transient cases have been considered. The stability of the motion is analysed for different initial perturbations. Different types of stability were found according to whether the disks moved towards or away from each other.

The Stability

This is the first part of a series of two papers on unsteady computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods for the numerical simulation of aerodynamic noise generation and propagation. In this part, the stability, accuracy, and efficiency of implicit Runge–Kutta schemes for the temporal integration of the compressible Navier–Stokes equations are investigated in the context of a CFD code for turbomachinery applications. Using two model academic problems, the properties of two explicit first stage, singly diagonally implicit Runge–Kutta (ESDIRK) schemes of second- and third-order accuracy are quantified and compared with more conventional second-order multistep methods. Finally, to assess the ESDIRK schemes in the context of an industrially relevant configuration, the schemes are applied to predict the tonal noise generation and transmission in a modern high bypass ratio fan stage and comparisons with the corresponding experimental data are provided.

The stability of incompressible boundary-layer flows on a semi-infinite flat plate and the growth of disturbances in such flows are investigated by numerical integration of the complete Navier–;Stokes equations for laminar two-dimensional flows. Forced time-dependent disturbances are introduced into the flow field and the reaction of the flow to such disturbances is studied by directly solving the Navier–Stokes equations using a finite-difference method. An implicit finitedifference scheme was developed for the calculation of the extremely unsteady flow fields which arose from the forced time-dependent disturbances. The problem of the numerical stability of the method called for special attention in order to avoid possible distortions of the results caused by the interaction of unstable numerical oscillations with physically meaningful perturbations. A demonstration of the suitability of the numerical method for the investigation of stability and the initial growth of disturbances is presented for small periodic perturbations. For this particular case the numerical results can be compared with linear stability theory and experimental measurements. In this paper a number of numerical calculations for small periodic disturbances are discussed in detail. The results are generally in fairly close agreement with linear stability theory or experimental measurements.

Surrounding Fluid

When a stretching surface is moved quickly, for a short period of time, a pulse is transmitted to the surrounding fluid. Here we describe an exact solution in terms of a similarity variable for the Navier-Stokes equations which represents the effect of this pulse for two-dimensional flow. The unusual feature is that this solution is only valid for a limited range of the Reynolds number; outside this domain unbounded velocities result.

This paper deals with the numerical study of bifurcations in a two-sided lid driven cavity flow. The flow is generated by moving the upper wall to the right while moving the left wall downwards. Numerical simulations are performed by solving the unsteady two dimensional Navier-Stokes equations using the finite volume method and multigrid acceleration. In this problem, the ratio of the height to the width of the cavity are ranged from H/L = 0.25 to 1.5. The code for this cavity is presented using rectangular cavity with the grids 144 × 36, 144 × 72, 144 × 104, 144 × 136, 144 × 176 and 144 × 216. Numerous comparisons with the results available in the literature are given. Very good agreements are found between current numerical results and published numerical results. Various velocity ratios ranged in 0.01≤ α ≤ 0.99 at a fixed aspect ratios (A = 0.5, 0.75, 1.25 and 1.5) were considered. It is observed that the transition to the unsteady regime follows the classical scheme of a Hopf bifurcation. The stability analysis depending on the aspect ratio, velocity ratios α and the Reynolds number when transition phenomenon occurs is considered in this paper.

AbstractWe propose and analyze spectral direction splitting schemes for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The schemes combine a Legendre-spectral method for the spatial discretization and a pressure-stabilization/direction splitting scheme for the temporal discretization, leading to a sequence of one-dimensional elliptic equations at each time step while preserving the same order of accuracy as the usual pressure-stabilization schemes. We prove that these schemes are unconditionally stable, and present numerical results which demonstrate the stability, accuracy, and efficiency of the proposed methods.
