AbstractDirect numerical simulation data of a stratified turbulent Couette flow contains two types of organized structures: rolls arising at neutral and close to neutral stratifications, and layered structures which manifest themselves as static stability increases. It is shown that both types of structures have spatial scales and forms that coincide with the scales and forms of the optimal disturbances of the simplified linear model of the Couette flow with the same Richardson numbers.

Force Mechanism

Cap plays a transitional role in the structure. It is an important part to ensure the effective pass of load between the upper structure and the foundation. In the bridge, water tank, ocean platforms, oil tank and other large-scale structures, the force mechanism and force mode about cap are more and more valued by researchers. The research method about large cap structure mainly includes theoretical research, experimental research, numerical simulation and other aspects. This article summarizes the domestic research status, reviews and compares the caps’ numerical simulation methods and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of different models. Finally, some problems are proposed for further research, which can provide references for engineering design and study.

This paper is concerned with the numerical simulation of unsteady turbulent flows behind sudden expansions without inlet swirl. Time dependent simulations have been carried out using the VLES approach with the standard k-ε model. The expansion ratio investigated is in the range from 1.96–6.0. The simulations show that the flows in axisymmetric sudden expansions are inherently unstable when the expansion ratio is above a critical value. The precessing phenomenon, which features self-sustained precession of the global flowfield around the expansion centerline, is predicted successfully using CFD, with simulated oscillation frequencies that are in general agreement with reported data. For the case of expansion ratios from 3.5–6.0, a combination of a precession motion and a flapping motion in a rotating frame of reference is predicted in terms of the jet movement. Large-scale structures are identified in the downstream flowfield. Other important phenomena, such as the transition of the oscillation patterns, have also been predicted.

AbstractUnusual short-period comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 inspired many observers to explain its unpredictable outbursts. In this paper large scale structures and features from the inner part of the coma in time periods around outbursts are studied. CCD images were taken at Whipple Observatory, Mt. Hopkins, in 1989 and at Astronomical Observatory, Modra, from 1995 to 1998. Photographic plates of the comet were taken at Harvard College Observatory, Oak Ridge, from 1974 to 1982. The latter were digitized at first to apply the same techniques of image processing for optimizing the visibility of features in the coma during outbursts. Outbursts and coma structures show various shapes.
