Экспериментально и аналитически исследованы характеристики вихревого течения со свободной поверхностью, образующегося в результате вращения активаторного диска, расположенного на дне цилиндрического контейнера, заполненного водой. Получены аналитические выражения, показывающие, что траектории жидких частиц вблизи поверхности вихря представляют собой трехмерные спирали, по которым происходит течение от периферии к центу вихря. Показано, что рассчитанные и визуализированные траектории жидких частиц хорошо согласуются между собой и относятся к классу пространственных логарифмических спиралей. The work is aimed to compare results of analytical and experimental modeling of vortex fluid flow. The compound flow of liquid (water) occurs in a vertical cylindrical container without upper endwall under the action of the disk rotating at the bottom endwall. The two main components of the emerging flow are the toroidal vortex and the vortex with vertical axis. The equations are written in the cylindrical coordinate system dictated by the geometry of the problem. On the basis of the existing analytical expression, which describes the free surface form of the compound vortex in the zero approximation, an approach is developed to describe the trajectories of individual “liquid particles”. The obtained result allows to explore the velocity field structure near the free surface. The obtained expressions indicate that the velocity field near free surface becomes more pronounced in the tangent direction. This result is confirmed in the experimental studies of the compound vortex flow. The analytical forms of liquid particle trajectories near and on the free surface of the compound vortex are obtained. The general particle movement is from the container sidewall along the free surface to its center and further down the spiral-helical line. The images of the visualized particles trajectories both on the free surface (logarithmic spiral) and in the liquid depth are obtained in experiments and testify in favor of the implemented approach to the construction of analytical solution of the liquid particle motion for the vortex flow of the mentioned type. The correspondence of the calculated free surface forms obtained with the help of analytical expressions and those observed in the experiments with different parameters of the vortex flow shows that the developed approach to the problem can be based on a simplified description.

This paper simulates regular waves propagating over a submerged parabolic obstacle in the presence of a uniform/shear current using a two-dimensional numerical model, named COBRAS (Cornell Breaking and Structure). The numerical model solves the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the free surface deformation is tracked using the volume of fluid method (VOF). The capability of the numerical model to simulate regular waves with a uniform or shear current over a constant water depth is first validated with available analytical solutions and experimental data. Comparisons among the experimental data, analytical solutions, and present numerical results show good agreements. Then, regular waves propagating over a submerged parabolic obstacle with a following current are investigated. Detailed discussions including those on the velocity and vorticity fields and the relation between free surface and vorticity are given.

The theory of rotating fluids is applied to the flow in the cyclone. The effects of radial instabilities in the boundary layers on the walls are discussed. The dynamics of the central core in the flow are studied in a simple nonviscous model which exhibits wave propagation and weir flow similar to a free surface flow. A momentum-integral analysis is used to show the effect of friction and to predict the axial distribution of radial inflow.

Abstract The present paper studies the effect of circular regularity on propagation of torsional surface waves in an elastic non-homogeneous half-space. Both rigidity and density of the half-space are assumed to vary inversely linearly with depth. Separation of variable method has been used to get the analytical solutions for the dispersion equation of the torsional surface waves. Also, the effects of non-homogeneity and irregularity on the phase velocity of torsional surface waves have shown graphically.
