This paper investigates the nature of the development of two-dimensional laminar flow of an incompressible fluid at the reversed stagnation-point. Proudman and Johnson (1962) first studied the flow and obtained an asymptotic solution by neglecting the viscous terms. Robins and Howarth (1972) stated that this is not true in neglecting the viscous terms within the total flow field. Viscous terms in this analysis are now included, and a similarity solution of two-dimensional reversed stagnation-point flow is investigated by solving the full Navier-Stokes equations.

The Difference

The difference in aerodynamic forces of a two-dimensional flapping wing hovering in unbounded flow field and ground effect is studied. The unsteady laminar Navier–Stokes equations are solved by the finite volume method to simulate the flow field around the wing. In the unbounded flow field, the correspondence between the aerodynamic force, pressure distribution on wing, and typical vortex structures is established, and then the high-lift mechanism of the flapping wing is further explained. In the ground effect, based on the lift variation, the dimensionless height H/ C ( H is the height of the wing above ground and C is the chord length of the wing) can be divided into transition and ground effect regimes. In the transition regime ( H/ C > 2.5), the lift decreases with the decreasing height, and the ground indirectly impacts the vortices near wing by changing the shed vortices in space. In the ground effect regime ( H/ C < 2.5), the lift increases with the decreasing height, and the ground directly impacts the vortices near the wing.

Gas Liquid Flow

This paper reports progress in the numerical simulations of movement and the coalescence of two neighbor bubbles (leading and trailing bubble) in a reciprocally stirred liquid flow field. The full Navier-Stokes equations are solved by the volume-of fluid (VOF) method for tracking the interface between the bubble and the liquid flow. A dynamic mesh method was used to predict the gas-liquid flow in a two-dimensional foaming tank. Results indicate that the motion and merge behavior of the bubbles is dominantly influenced by the initial locations and the sizes of the bubbles as well as by the surface tension, while the reciprocating effect is insignificant.

Good Agreement

The flow field in an inertial impactor was studied experimentally with a water model by means of a flow visualization technique. The influence of such parameters as Reynolds number and jet-to-plate distance on the flow field was determined. The Navier-Stokes equations describing the laminar flow field in the impactor were solved numerically by means of a finite difference relaxation method. The theoretical results were found to be in good agreement with the empirical observations made with the water model.

Oscillatory Boundary Layer

Numerical simulations of Navier–Stokes equations are performed to study the flow originated by an oscillating pressure gradient close to a wall characterized by small imperfections. The scenario of transition from the laminar to the turbulent regime is investigated and the results are interpreted in the light of existing analytical theories. The ‘disturbed-laminar’ and the ‘intermittently turbulent’ regimes detected experimentally are reproduced by the present simulations. Moreover it is found that imperfections of the wall are of fundamental importance in causing the growth of two-dimensional disturbances which in turn trigger turbulence in the Stokes boundary layer. Finally, in the intermittently turbulent regime, a description is given of the temporal development of turbulence characteristics.
