The flow of viscous incompressible fluid in a cylindrical duct with two serial diaphragms is studied by the numerical solution of the unsteady Navier–Stokes equations. The discretization procedure is based on the finite volume method using the TVD scheme for the discretization of the convective terms and second order accurate in both space and time difference schemes. The resulting system of non-linear algebraic equations is solved by the PISO algorithm. It is shown that the fluid flow in the region between the diaphragms is nonstationary and is characterized by the presence of an unstable shear layer under certain parameters. A series of ring vortices is formed in the shear layer that causes quasi-periodic self-sustained oscillations of the velocity and pressure fields in the orifice of the second diaphragm. There can be four self-sustained oscillation modes depending on the length of the cavity formed by the diaphragms. With the increase in the distance between the diaphragms, the frequency of oscillations decreases within the same self-oscillation mode and rises sharply with the switch to the next mode.

Computational models for fluid flow based on the Navier-Stokes equations for compressible fluids led to numerical procedures requiring the solution of simultaneous non-linear algebraic equations. These give rise to the possibility of multiple solutions, and hence there is a need to monitor convergence towards a physically meaningful flow field. The number of possible solutions that may arise is examined, and a mid-cell back substitution technique (MCBST) is developed to detect and avoid convergence towards apparently spurious solutions. The MCBST was used successfully for flow modelling in micron-sized flow passages, and was found to be particularly useful in the early stages of computation, optimizing the speed of convergence.

On the basis of the linearized fluid forces acting on the rotor obtained directly by using the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, the stability of symmetrical rotors with a cylindrical chamber partially filled with a viscous incompressible fluid is investigated in this paper. The effects of the parameters of rotor system, such as external damping ratio, fluid fill ratio, Reynolds number and mass ratio, on the unstable regions are analyzed. It is shown that for the stability analysis of fluid filled rotor systems with external damping, the effect of the fluid viscosity on the stability should be considered. When the fluid viscosity is included, the adding external damping will make the system more stable and two unstable regions may exist even if rotors are isotropic in some casIs.

The computational analysis was performed of self-sustained oscillatory flow over the open cavity driven by a shear layer at flight Mach 5.0 condition with the solution of the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with a two-equation turbulence model. The self-sustained oscillation cycle of the open ramp cavity was got by simulation. It is found that the self-sustained oscillation feature of the cavity was complex flow. The shear layer rolls up and forms a vortex that grows in strength as the fluid enters the cavity. The amplitude of the pressure oscillation on the aft wall is much higher than that at the other wall due to the mass entrainment and ejection mechanism along the aft wall. This periodic mass addition and expulsion could be critical to the fuel and air mixing and flame-holding in the scramjet engine applications.

The flow of a viscous incompressible fluid generated by a sudden impulse near a wall with no-slip boundary condition is studied on the basis of the linearized Navier–Stokes equations. It turns out that the flow differs significantly from that for the perfect slip boundary condition, except far from the wall and at short times. At short time the flow is irrotational and can be described by a potential which varies with the square root of time. Correspondingly the pressure disturbance is quite large at short times. It shows an oscillation at later times if the impulse is directed parallel to the wall and decays monotonically for impulse perpendicular to the wall.
