The extension of Newton’s shearing law is aimed at the tensions being expressed by means of a general type equation. The case of the Bingham type media is considered and the components of the tensions tensor for homogeneous isotropic bodies are obtained in an orthogonal system of coordinates. The notion of viscosity is also extended by the introduction of viscosities of any order n, having the dimensions (M/L)Tn−2. The equation of motion upon any direction xi is then derived, extending thus the Navier-Stokes equations. Further the particular cases of incompressible fluids and steady motions are considered. Applications to simple cases are performed: The motion in tubes, coaxial cylinders, or between solid parallel surfaces. These applications lead, as particular forms of the general formulas obtained, to result in good agreement with those found by other authors (Paslay and Slibar, Milne, and so on). The flow between parallel plates is studied too, for different shearing laws. Finally, a more general form of the shearing stresses is considered and by the proposed generalization, the possibility of a direct unitary study of various continuous bodies of a great practical importance is obtained.

The paper is devoted to numerical modeling of Navier–Stokes equations for incompressible media in the case, when there exist gas and liquid inside the rectangular calculation region, which are separated by interphase boundary. The set of equations for incompressible liquid accounting for viscous, gravitational and surface (capillary) forces is solved by finite-difference scheme on the spaced grid, for description of interphase boundary the ideology of Level Set Method is used. By developed numerical code the set of hydrodynamic problems is solved, which describe the motion of two-phase incompressible media with interphase boundary. As a result of numerical simulation the solutions are obtained, which are in good agreement with existing analytical and experimental solutions.

Pressure Driven Flow

In this chapter it is shown that solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations can be derived for steady, fully developed flow of a constant-viscosity Newtonian fluid through a cylindrical duct. Such a flow is known as a Poiseuille flow. For a pipe of circular cross section, the term Hagen-Poiseuille flow is used. Solutions are also derived for shear-driven flow within the annular space between two concentric cylinders or in the space between two parallel plates when there is relative tangential movement between the wetted surfaces, termed Couette flows. The concepts of wetted perimeter and hydraulic diameter are introduced. It is shown how the viscometer equations result from the concentric-cylinder solutions. The pressure-driven flow of generalised Newtonian fluids is also discussed.

The flow field in an inertial impactor was studied experimentally with a water model by means of a flow visualization technique. The influence of such parameters as Reynolds number and jet-to-plate distance on the flow field was determined. The Navier-Stokes equations describing the laminar flow field in the impactor were solved numerically by means of a finite difference relaxation method. The theoretical results were found to be in good agreement with the empirical observations made with the water model.

2D And 3D

Slamming forces on 2D and 3D bodies have been computed based on a CIP method. The highly nonlinear water entry problem governed by the Navier-Stokes equations was solved by a CIP based finite difference method on a fixed Cartesian grid. In the computation, a compact upwind scheme was employed for the advection calculations and a pressure-based algorithm was applied to treat the multiple phases. The free surface and the body boundaries were captured using density functions. For the pressure calculation, a Poisson-type equation was solved at each time step by the conjugate gradient iterative method. Validation studies were carried out for 2D wedges with various deadrise angles ranging from 0 to 60 degrees at constant vertical velocity. In the cases of wedges with small deadrise angles, the compressibility of air between the bottom of the wedge and the free surface was modelled. Studies were also extended to 3D bodies, such as a sphere, a cylinder and a catamaran, entering calm water. Computed pressures, free surface elevations and hydrodynamic forces were compared with experimental data and the numerical solutions by other methods.

Subsidence of the Ekofisk platforms creates several operational challenges. For safety of the platforms, it is of great importance to find the wave impact loads acting on the platforms’ decks. The paper describes how such loads can be computed. Three theoretical wave models are discussed in the paper: the Airy wave, Airy wave modified through Wheeler stretching and the 5th order non-linear Stokes wave. The wave loads for these wave models are computed by various methods. The method based on momentum displacement approach and Morison-type equation developed by Dr. Kaplan is used as a reference point. The loads are also computed through a solution of complete Navier-Stokes equations, with the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method used to trace motion of the fluid’s free surface. Results of different wave models and different computational methods are compared and discussed.

ABSTRACTThis paper presents a numerical study on turbulent vortex shedding flows past a square cylinder. The 2D unsteady periodic shedding motion was resolved in the calculation and the superimposed turbulent fluctuations were simulated with a second-order Reynolds-stress closure model. The calculations were carried out by solving numerically the fully elliptic ensemble-averaged Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the turbulence model equations together with the two-layer approach in the treatment of the near-wall region. The performance of the computations was evaluated by comparing the numerical results with data from available experiments. Results indicate that the present study gives good agreement in the shedding frequency and mean drag as well as in some phase profiles of the mean velocity.

The Impact

In this paper, we propose a coupled fluid-kinetic model taking into account the radius growth of aerosol particles due to humidity in the respiratory system. We aim to numerically investigate the impact of hygroscopic effects on the particle behaviour. The air flow is described by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, and the aerosol by a Vlasov-type equation involving the air humidity and temperature, both quantities satisfying a convection-diffusion equation with a source term. Conservations properties are checked and an explicit time-marching scheme is proposed. Twodimensional numerical simulations in a branched structure show the influence of the particle size variations on the aerosol dynamics.

Capabilities of numerical tools to simulate fluid problems significantly depend on its methods to solve for the Navier-Stokes equations. Different dimensional computing tools using the same horizontal meshes were used to simulate flow conditions inside non- and vegetation meandering compound channel. Both tools give good agreement for simulations of depth-averaged streamwise velocity inside the main channel, but its capabilities vary significantly for simulations on floodplains. Lower relative depth recorded a higher percentage of errors than flow with higher relative depth. Vegetation along the main channel increased the flows complexity especially in the area near the vegetation thus reducing the simulation capabilities of the computing tools. Simulations work by TELEMAC-3D significantly better in the areas with highly dimensional and turbulence conditions. TELEMAC-2D is still useful because of its simplicity and lower computing time and resources required.

A three-dimensional numerical model was used to model water circulation and spatial variation of temperature in Lake Sperillen in Norway. A winter situation was simulated, with thermal stratification and ice cover. The numerical model solved the Navier-Stokes equations on a 3D unstructured non-orthogonal grid with hexahedral cells. The SIMPLE method was used for the pressure coupling and the k-ε model was used to model turbulence, with a modification for density stratification due to the vertical temperature profile. The results were compared with field measurements of the temperature in the lake, indicating the location of the water current. Reasonably good agreement was found.
