We prove that several evolution equations arising as mathematical models for fluid motion cannot be realized as metric Euler equations on the Lie group DIFF∞(𝕊1) of all smooth and orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms on the circle. These include the quasi-geostrophic model equation, cf. [A. Córdoba, D. Córdoba and M. A. Fontelos, Formation of singularities for a transport equation with nonlocal velocity, Ann. of Math. 162 (2005) 1377–1389], the axisymmetric Euler flow in ℝd (see [H. Okamoto and J. Zhu, Some similarity solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations and related topics, Taiwanese J. Math. 4 (2000) 65–103]), and De Gregorio's vorticity model equation as introduced in [S. De Gregorio, On a one-dimensional model for the three-dimensional vorticity equation, J. Stat. Phys. 59 (1990) 1251–1263].

The incompressible three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations are solved numerically for a fluid-filled cylindrical cannister that is spinning and nutating. The motion of the cannister is characteristic of that experienced by spin-stabilized artillery projectiles. Equations for the internal fluid motion are derived in a non-inertial aeroballistic coordinate system. Steady-state numerical solutions are obtained by an iterative finite-difference procedure. Flow fields and liquid induced moments have been calculated for viscosities in the range of 0.9 × 104−1 × 109 cSt. The nature of the three-dimensional fluid motion inside the cylinder is discussed, and the moments generated by the fluid are explained. The calculated moments generally agree with experimental measurements.

A rephrased form of Navier-Stokes equations is performed for incompressible, three-dimensional, unsteady flows according to Eulerian formalism for the fluid motion. In particular, we propose a geometrical method for the elimination of the nonlinear terms of these fundamental equations, which are expressed in true vector form, and finally arrive at an equivalent system of three semilinear first order PDEs, which hold for a three-dimensional rectangular Cartesian coordinate system. Next, we present the related variational formulation of these modified equations as well as a general type of weak solutions which mainly concern Sobolev spaces.

Splitter blades located between stator blades in a single-stage axial compressor were proposed and investigated in this work to find their effects on aerodynamic performance and operating stability. Aerodynamic performance of the compressor was evaluated using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations using the k-e turbulence model with a scalable wall function. The numerical results for the typical performance parameters without stator splitter blades were validated in comparison with experimental data. The numerical results of a parametric study using four geometric parameters (chord length, coverage angle, height and position) of the stator splitter blades showed that the operational stability of the single-stage axial compressor enhances remarkably using the stator splitter blades. The splitters were effective in suppressing flow separation in the stator domain of the compressor at near-stall condition which affects considerably the aerodynamic performance of the compressor.

A three-dimensional numerical study of a single droplet splashing vertically on a liquid film is presented. The numerical method is based on the finite volume method (FVM) of Navier–Stokes equations coupled with the volume of fluid (VOF) method, and the adaptive local mesh refinement technology is adopted. It enables the liquid–gas interface to be tracked more accurately, and to be less computationally expensive. The relationship between the diameter of the free rim, the height of the crown with different numbers of collision Weber, and the thickness of the liquid film is explored. The results indicate that the crown height increases as the Weber number increases, and the diameter of the crown rim is inversely proportional to the collision Weber number. It can also be concluded that the dimensionless height of the crown decreases with the increase in the thickness of the dimensionless liquid film, which has little effect on the diameter of the crown rim during its growth.

This study describes the aerodynamic efficiency of a forebody–inlet configuration and computational investigation of a drone system, capable of sustainable supersonic cruising at Mach 1.60. Because the whole drone configuration is formed around the induction system and the design is highly interrelated to the flow structure of forebody and inlet efficiency, analysis of this section and understanding its flow pattern is necessary before any progress in design phases. The compression surface is designed analytically using oblique shock patterns, which results in a low drag forebody. To study the concept, two inlet–forebody geometries are considered for Computational Fluid Dynamic simulation using ANSYS Fluent code. The supersonic and subsonic performance, effects of angle of attack, sideslip, and duct geometries on the propulsive efficiency of the concept are studied by solving the three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations in structured cell domains. Comparing the results with the available data from other sources indicates that the aerodynamic efficiency of the concept is acceptable at supersonic and transonic regimes.

One numerical method was designed to solve the time-dependent, three-dimensional, incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in turbulent thermal channel flows. Its originality lies in the use of several well-known methods to discretize the problem and its parallel nature. Vorticy-Laplacian of velocity formulation has been used, so pressure has been removed from the system. Heat is modeled as a passive scalar. Any other quantity modeled as passive scalar can be very easily studied, including several of them at the same time. These methods have been successfully used for extensive direct numerical simulations of passive thermal flow for several boundary conditions.

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.
