Abstract The stranded rope is one of the important components of the fishery aquaculture equipment. We investigate the fluid flow through two-dimensional stranded rope by direct simulation of the Navier-Stokes equations. We show that for different kinds of stranded rope structures, there are significant differences in hydrodynamic performance. This paper established a numerical model of unsteady flow past the stranded rope based on the Navier-Stokes equation and Morison formulas to study the hydrodynamic characteristics of three-stranded rope, four-stranded rope, and seven-stranded rope, respectively. The turbulence flow was simulated using Standard k-ε model and Shear-Stress Transport k-ω (SST) model. The flow distribution strongly depends on the Reynolds number, a range of 3,900 and 30,000. With increasing Reynolds number, the alternate eddy formation and shedding were repeated behind the stranded ropes. Such parameters of hydrodynamic characteristics of multiple stranded ropes were calculated as the lift and drag coefficients, and vortex shedding frequencies. The numerical simulation results presented flow performances of different cross sections (a, b, c, d) at different Reynolds numbers. However, Reynolds number has no significant impact on the Strouhal number for the same attack angle of the stranded rope.

It is shown that, for a spherically symmetric expansion of a gas into a low pressure, the shock wave with area change region discussed earlier (Freeman & Kumar 1972) can be further divided into two parts. For the Navier–Stokes equation, these are a region in which the asymptotic zero-pressure behaviour predicted by Ladyzhenskii is achieved followed further downstream by a transition to subsonic-type flow. The distance of this final region downstream is of order (pressure)−2/3 × (Reynolds number)−1/3.

Abstract In this study, the double Laplace Adomian decomposition method and the triple Laplace Adomian decomposition method are employed to solve one- and two-dimensional time-fractional Navier–Stokes problems, respectively. In order to examine the applicability of these methods some examples are provided. The presented results confirm that the proposed methods are very effective in the search of exact and approximate solutions for the problems. Numerical simulation is used to sketch the exact and approximate solution.

We do a direct two-dimensional finite-elment simulation of the Navier–Stokes equations and compute the forces which turn an ellipse settling in a vertical channel of viscous fluid in a regime in which the ellipse oscillates under the action of vortex shedding. Turning this way and that is induced by large and unequal values of negative pressure at the rear separation points which are here identified with the two points on the back face where the shear stress vanishes. The main restoring mechanism which turns the broadside of the ellipse perpendicular to the fall is the high pressure at the ‘stagnation point’ on the front face, as in potential flow, which is here identified with the one point on the front face where the shear stress vanishes.

Layer Flow

A separated boundary-layer flow at the rear of a bump is considered. Two-dimensional equilibrium stationary states of the Navier–Stokes equations are determined using a nonlinear continuation procedure varying the bump height as well as the Reynolds number. A global instability analysis of the steady states is performed by computing two-dimensional temporal modes. The onset of instability is shown to be characterized by a family of modes with localized structures around the reattachment point becoming almost simultaneously unstable. The optimal perturbation analysis, by projecting the initial disturbance on the set of temporal eigenmodes, reveals that the non-normal modes are able to describe localized initial perturbations associated with the large transient energy growth. At larger time a global low-frequency oscillation is found, accompanied by a periodic regeneration of the flow perturbation inside the bubble, as the consequence of non-normal cancellation of modes. The initial condition provided by the optimal perturbation analysis is applied to Navier–Stokes time integration and is shown to trigger the nonlinear ‘flapping’ typical of separation bubbles. It is possible to follow the stationary equilibrium state on increasing the Reynolds number far beyond instability, ruling out for the present flow case the hypothesis of some authors that topological flow changes are responsible for the ‘flapping’.

The numerical simulation of the flow past a circular cylinder forced to oscillate transversely to the incident stream is presented here for a fixed Reynolds number equal to 100. The 2D Navier-Stokes equations are solved with a classical Finite Volume Method with an industrial CFD code which has been coupled with a user subroutine to obtain an explicit staggered procedure providing the cylinder displacement. A preliminary work is conducted in order to check the computation of the wake characteristics for Reynolds numbers smaller than 150. The Strouhal frequency fS, the lift and drag coefficients CL and CD are thus controlled among other parameters. The simulations are then performed with forced oscillations f0 for different frequency rations F = f0/fS in [0.50–1.50] and an amplitude A varying between 0.25 and 1.25. The wake characteristics are analysed using the time series of the fluctuating aerodynamic coefficients and their FFT. The frequency content is then linked to the shape of the phase portrait and to the vortex shedding mode. By choosing interesting couples (A,F), different vortex shedding modes have been observed, which are similar to those of the Williamson-Roshko map.

Quasi-stationary, or metastable, states play an important role in two-dimensional turbulent fluid flows, where they often emerge on timescales much shorter than the viscous timescale, and then dominate the dynamics for very long time intervals. In this paper we propose a dynamical systems explanation of the metastability of an explicit family of solutions, referred to as bar states, of the two-dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes equation on the torus. These states are physically relevant because they are associated with certain maximum entropy solutions of the Euler equations, and they have been observed as one type of metastable state in numerical studies of two-dimensional turbulence. For small viscosity (high Reynolds number), these states are quasi-stationary in the sense that they decay on the slow, viscous timescale. Linearization about these states leads to a time-dependent operator. We show that if we approximate this operator by dropping a higher-order, non-local term, it produces a decay rate much faster than the viscous decay rate. We also provide numerical evidence that the same result holds for the full linear operator, and that our theoretical results give the optimal decay rate in this setting.

AbstractWe generalize the POD-based Galerkin method for post-transient flow data by incorporating Navier–Stokes equation constraints. In this method, the derived Galerkin expansion minimizes the residual like POD, but with the power balance equation for the resolved turbulent kinetic energy as an additional optimization constraint. Thus, the projection of the Navier–Stokes equation on to the expansion modes yields a Galerkin system that respects the power balance on the attractor. The resulting dynamical system requires no stabilizing eddy-viscosity term – contrary to other POD models of high-Reynolds-number flows. The proposed Galerkin method is illustrated with two test cases: two-dimensional flow inside a square lid-driven cavity and a two-dimensional mixing layer. Generalizations for more Navier–Stokes constraints, e.g. Reynolds equations, can be achieved in straightforward variation of the presented results.

Aiming at hydrodynamic performance prediction for hydroplane motion, numerical simulation calculation for direct route motion of a hydroplane was carried out under FLUENT software platform by using VOF method and RNG k-ε model and solving Navier-Stokes equation. Evolution of ship resistance was obtained as the velocity change, and flow field situation and dynamic pressure variation of hydroplane hull bottom were reflected intuitively. By comparing the results of FLUENT calculation and ship model experiment and theoretical estimation, analyzing, especially wake current, it was verified that numerical simulation calculation of hydroplane direct route motion and hydrodynamic performance prediction based on FLUENT are feasible and precise enough.

AbstractA modified direct-forcing immersed-boundary (IB) pressure correction method is developed to simulate the flows of a falling ellipse. The pressure correct method is used to solve the solutions of the two dimensional Navier-Stokes equations and a direct-forcing IB method is used to handle the interaction between the flow and falling ellipse. For a fixed aspect ratio of an ellipse, the types of the behavior of the falling ellipse can be classified as three pure motions: Steady falling, fluttering, tumbling, and two transition motions: Chaos, transition between steady falling and fluttering. Based on two dimensionless parameters, Reynolds number and the dimensionless moment of inertia, a Reynolds number-inertia moment phase diagram is established. The behaviors and characters of five falling regimes are described in detailed.
