The present paper has been focused mainly towards understanding of the various parameters affecting the transport of conservative solutes in horizontally semi-infinite porous media. A model is presented for simulating one-dimensional transport of solute considering the porous medium to be homogeneous, isotropic and adsorbing nature under the influence of periodic seepage velocity. Initially the porous domain is not solute free. The solute is initially introduced from a sinusoidal point source. The transport equation is solved analytically by using Laplace Transformation Technique. Alternate as an illustration; solutions for the present problem are illustrated by numerical examples and graphs.

The current experimental study investigates the effect of longitudinal core flow on the formation and structure of a trailing vortex. The vortex is generated using four airfoils connected to a central hub through which a jet flow is added to the vortex core. Time averaged vorticity, circumferential velocity, and turbulent kinetic energy are studied. The statistics of vortex wandering are identified and corrections applied to the vorticity distribution. The vortex generator used in this study was built on the basis of the design described by Beninati et al. [1]. It uses four NACA0012 airfoils connected to a central hub. The wings orientation can be adjusted such that each contributes to a strong trailing vortex on the center of the test section. The vortex generator also had the capability to deliver an air jet directed longitudinally through a hole in the hub at the joint of the airfoils. Tests were done without the jet and with the air jet at jet velocities of 10 and 20 m/s. Planar PIV was used to measure the velocity field in the vicinity of the vortex core. The measurements were taken at 3 chords behind the vortex generator.

&lt;p&gt;In this study, when using reflection seismic data to study the wakes of the Batan Islands, a method for estimating the fluid dynamics parameters such as the relative vorticity (relative Rossby number) and the relative potential vorticity is proposed. Although the relative Rossby number estimation method proposed in this study cannot guarantee absolute accuracy in the calculation value, this method is more accurate in describing the positive and negative vorticity distribution for the wakes, and the resolution of the positive and negative vorticity distribution described by this method is higher than the result of the reanalysis data. For the wakes developed in the Batan Islands, the reflection events in the wake development area have the larger inclination than the reflection events in the western Pacific water distribution area. It is also found that the negative vorticity wakes are mainly distributed on the west side of the island/ridge, and the positive vorticity wakes are mainly distributed on the east side of the island/ridge. This is consistent with the understanding of previous wakes simulations. The strong vorticity values in the study area are mainly distributed at depths above 300m, and the maximum impact depth of wakes can reach 600m. At the downstream position of the wake on the survey line 7, it can be seen that the bottom boundary layer has separated, and there is the negative vorticity wakes on the west side intruding into the positive vorticity wakes on the east side , which is presumed to be caused by the disturbance of the small anticyclone existing near the Batan Islands. For the survey line 7, the negative potential vorticity is mainly distributed on the west side of the island/ridge, and the influence range can reach the sea depth of 600m. In the negative potential vorticity region, there is strong energy dissipation and vertical shear. In this study, we don&amp;#8217;t find the existence of submesoscale coherent vortices on the survey line 7, but find the reflection structure similar to filaments on the seismic section. Combined with the analysis of the balanced Richardson number angle of survey line 7, we speculate that the wake in the negative potential vorticity distribution area has the characteristics of symmetrical instability, and the symmetrical instability may destroy the process of filaments forming submesoscale coherent vortices.&lt;/p&gt;

Abstract Heat transfer in porous metal hydride (MH) beds determines efficiency of MH devices. We present a COMSOL Multiphysics numerical model and experimental investigation of heat and mass transfer in a MH reactor filled with 4.69 kg of AB5 type alloy (Mm0.8La0.2Ni4.1Fe0.8Al0.1). To achieve an agreement between the model and experiments it is necessary to include a flow control device (inlet valve or flow regulator) into the model. We propose a simplified and easy-to-calculate boundary condition based on a porous domain with variable permeability at reactor inlet. The permeability of the domain is connected with hydrogen mass flow by a PID controller. Thus, boundary conditions for the inlet pressure and mass flow are coupled and heat transfer inside the reactor could be calculated without additional assumptions applied to heat and mass transfer in the MH bed.

Vorticity Distribution

Particle displacement velocimetry is used to measure the velocity and vorticity distributions around an inclined 6: 1 prolate spheroid. The objective is to determine the effects of boundary-layer tripping, incidence angle, and Reynolds number on the flow structure. The vorticity distributions are also used for computing the lateral forces and rolling moments that occur when the flow is asymmetric. The computed forces agree with results of direct measurements. It is shown that when the flow is not tripped, separation causes the formation of a pair of vortex sheets. The size of these sheets increases with increasing incidence angle and axial location. Their orientation and internal vorticity distribution also depend on incidence. Rollup into distinct vortices occurs in some cases, and the primary vortex contains between 20 % and 50 % of the overall circulation. The entire flow is unsteady and there are considerable variations in the instantaneous vorticity distributions. The remainder of the lee side, excluding these vortex sheets, remains almost vorticity free, providing clear evidence that the flow can be characterized as open separation. Boundary-layer tripping causes earlier separation on part of the model, brings the primary vortex closer to the body, and spreads the vorticity over a larger region. The increased variability in the vorticity distribution causes considerable force fluctuations, but the mean loads remain unchanged. Trends with increasing Reynolds number are conflicting, probably because of boundary-layer transition. The separation point moves towards the leeward meridian and the normal force decreases when the Reynolds number is increased from 0.42 × 106 to 1.3 × 106. Further increase in the Reynolds number to 2.1 × 106 and tripping cause an increase in forces and earlier separation.

A description is given of the distribution of vorticity in the surface of thin wings with large leading edge sweep. Although the delta wing is chosen as the basic plan form the deductions are general and applicable to other types of wing. The conclusions are illustrated with experimental evidence from a water tunnel.
