Mathematical models applied to tornadoes describe these kinds of flows as an axisymmetric fluid motion which is restricted for not developing a source or a sink near the vortex line. Here, we propose the genesis of a family of a source/sink line into a singular updraft which can modeled one of the step of the genesis of a tornado. This model consists of a three-parameter family of fluid motions, satisfying the steady and incompressible Navier–Stokes equations, which vanish at the ground. We establish the local existence and uniqueness for these fields, at the neighborhood of a nonrotating singular updraft.

Several mathematical models applied to tornadoes consist of exact and axisymmetric solutions of the steady and incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. These models studied by Serrin,9 Goldshtik and Shtern8 describe families of fluid motions vanishing at the ground and are restricted not to develop a source nor a sink near the vortex line. Therefore, Serrin showed that the flow patterns of the resulting velocity field may have some realistic characteristics to model the mature phase of the lifetime of a tornado, in comparison with atmospheric observations. On the other hand, no reason has been given to motivate the restriction of the absence of a source/sink vortex line. Therefore, we present here the construction and the analysis of a fluid motion driven by the vertical shear near the ground, the rate of the azimuthal rotation and by the intensity of a central source/sink line. We prove the local existence and uniqueness of a family of fluid motions, leading to the genesis of such source/sink lines inside a non-rotating updraft which does not develop, before perturbation, a source nor a sink.

Viscous Torque

The Navier-Stokes equations for the fluid motion induced by a disk rotating inside a cylindrical cavity have been integrated for several values of the boundary layer thickness d. The equivalence of such a device to a rotating disk immersed in an infinite medium has been shown in the limit as d → 0. From that solution and taking into account edge effect corrections an equation for the viscous torque acting on the disk has been derived, which depends only on d. Moreover, these results justify the use of a rotating disk to perform accurate viscosity measurements.

Signalling Problem

This paper deals with elastic waves which may be generated in a fluid by the sudden movement of a flow boundary. In particular, an analysis of the classical piston, or signalling problem is presented for the special case of arbitrary velocity input into a stationary fluid contained in a circular, semi-infinite waveguide. The decay of the pulse, as well as the resulting flow development in the inlet region of the pipe are analyzed by means of an asymptotic expansion of the suitably nondimensionalized Navier-Stokes equations for a compressible, nonheat-conducting Newtonian fluid. The results differ significantly from those of the more conventional one-dimensional approach based on the so-called telegrapher’s equation of mathematical physics. The present theory realistically predicts the growth of a boundary layer both in time and position and, hence, it appears to represent the transient fluid motion in a manner which is physically more appealing.

In this article, for 0 ≤m<∞ and the index vectors q=(q_1,q_2 ,q_3 ),r=(r_1,r_2,r_3) where 1≤q_i≤∞,1<r_i<∞ and 1≤i≤3, we study new results of Navier-Stokes equations with Coriolis force in the rotational framework in mixed-norm Sobolev-Lorentz spaces H ̇^(m,r,q) (R^3), which are more general than the classical Sobolev spaces. We prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations (NSE) under Coriolis force in the spaces L^∞([0, T]; H ̇^(m,r,q) ) by using topological arguments, the fixed point argument and interpolation inequalities. We have achieved new results compared to previous research in the Navier-Stokes problems.

The Stability

In this paper, the stability of a flexible rotor partially filled with liquid is investigated. On the basis of the Navier-Stokes equations for the incompressible flow, a two-dimensional analytical model is developed for fluid motion. Applying the perturbation method, the linearized Navier-Stokes and continuity equations of fluid particles are obtained. Using the boundary conditions of fluid motion, the fluid forces exerted on the rotor are calculated. According to the established fluid-structure coupling model of the rotor system, the whirling frequency equation, which is applied to determine the stability of the system, is derived. The analysis results of the system stability are compared with the theoretical ones reported in the previous study. Good agreement is shown between the results of the present analysis and the literature results. The influences of the main parameters on the dynamic stability of the rotor system are discussed.

AbstractWe are interested in studying a system coupling the compressible Navier–Stokes equations with an elastic structure located at the boundary of the fluid domain. Initially the fluid domain is rectangular and the beam is located on the upper side of the rectangle. The elastic structure is modeled by an Euler–Bernoulli damped beam equation. We prove the local in time existence of strong solutions for that coupled system.
