An approximate analytical solution to the problem of two-dimensional indentation of a frictionless cylinder into a thin elastic coating bonded to a rigid substrate has been obtained using the approach introduced by Matthewson for axisymmetric indentation. We show by comparing the results of the approximate solution to the exact solutions and to finite element calculations that the approximate solution is accurate for a/h> 2. The advantage of this approach is that the results are expressed in closed form and the accuracy of the approximate solution improves with increasing values of a/h. For a/h>2, for a given load, the theory overestimates the value of a/h compared to the exact solution by less than 10 percent. In many experimental studies and in preliminary design, it is convenient to have closed-form solutions exhibiting the dependence of the parameters.

The need for a general technique for the approximate solution of viscous-flow problems is discussed. Existing methods are considered and a new method is presented which results in simple closed-form solutions. The accuracy of the method is demonstrated by comparisons with the results of known exact solutions, and finally the general technique is employed to determine a new solution for the fully expanded two-dimensional laminar nozzle problem.

AbstractIn an accompanying paper (van den Bremer & Hunt, J. Fluid Mech., vol. 750, 2014, pp. 210–244) closed-form solutions, describing the behaviour of two-dimensional planar turbulent rising plumes from horizontal planar area and line sources in unconfined quiescent environments of uniform density, that are universally applicable to Boussinesq and non-Boussinesq plumes, are proposed. This universality relies on an entrainment velocity unmodified by non-Boussinesq effects, an assumption that is derived in the literature based on similarity arguments and is, in fact, in contradiction with the axisymmetric case, in which entrainment is modified by non-Boussinesq effects. Exploring these solutions, we show that a non-Boussinesq plume model predicts exactly the same behaviour with height for a pure plume as would a Boussinesq model, whereas the effects on forced and lazy plumes are opposing. Non-intuitively, the non-Boussinesq model predicts larger fluxes of volume and mass for lazy plumes, but smaller fluxes for forced plumes at any given height compared to the Boussinesq model. This raises significant questions regarding the validity of the unmodified entrainment model for planar non-Boussinesq plumes based on similarity arguments and calls for detailed experiments to resolve this debate.

SummaryA closed-form expression is derived which gives an approximate solution to the lift generated on a two-dimensional thin aerofoil in incompressible flow with a normal velocity component of the form exp [i(ωt–xx+yy)]. The inaccuracy of the solution when compared with other published work is compensated by the simplicity of the final expression, particularly if the result is required for the calculation of the sound power radiated by an aerofoil in a turbulent flow.

A two-dimensional electrostatic problem in a plane with earthed elliptic cavity due to one or two charged electrostatic strips is considered. Using the integral transform technique, each problem is reduced to the solution of triple integral equations with sine kernels and weight functions. Closed-form solutions of the set of triple integral equations are obtained. Also closed-form expressions are obtained for charge density of the strips. Finally, the numerical results for the charge density are given in the form of tables.

In a companion paper, we have obtained the closed-form solutions to the stress and strain fields of a two-dimensional Eshelby inclusion. The current work is concerned with the complementary formulation of the displacement. All the formulae are derived in explicit closed-form, based on the degenerate case of a three-dimensional (3D) ellipsoidal inclusion. A benchmark example is provided to validate the present analytical solutions. In conjunction with our previous study, a complete elasticity solution to the classical elliptic cylindrical inclusion is hence documented in Cartesian coordinates for the convenience of engineering applications.
