The problem of pulsating supercavities under artificial ventilation is analytically treated as a resonance problem of a two-dimensional gas-liquid system using a linearized method. A simple kinematical consideration and a dynamical model of the flow lead to solutions for frequency and amplitude of pulsations. The criteria of pulsation are given in terms of a formula relating σv. and σ Maximum air-carrying capacities of pulsating cavities are also estimated. Most of the formulas involve an undetermined constant which must be estimated by using experimental data. The analytical results are compared with the experimental data obtained at the St. Anthony Falls Hydraulic Laboratory, and, in general, good agreement is obtained. It is found that pulsation is possible only for a two-dimensional cavity or a cavity in which a substantial portion of the span can be regarded as two-dimensional. The existence of a free surface is also essential to pulsation. The strong effect of the free surface suggests that pulsation may become an important problem in the open sea only when submergence is relatively small.

AbstractThis paper concerns the flow of fluid exiting a two-dimensional pipe and impacting an infinite wedge. Where the flow leaves the pipe there is a free surface between the fluid and a passive gas. The model is a generalisation of both plane bubbles and flow impacting a flat plate. In the absence of gravity and surface tension, an exact free streamline solution is derived. We also construct two numerical schemes to compute solutions with the inclusion of surface tension and gravity. The first method involves mapping the flow to the lower half-plane, where an integral equation concerning only boundary values is derived. This integral equation is solved numerically. The second method involves conformally mapping the flow domain onto a unit disc in the s-plane. The unknowns are then expressed as a power series in s. The series is truncated, and the coefficients are solved numerically. The boundary integral method has the additional advantage that it allows for solutions with waves in the far-field, as discussed later. Good agreement between the two numerical methods and the exact free streamline solution provides a check on the numerical schemes.

A two-dimensional potential flow model is formulated to predict the wave field and forces generated by a sere!submerged body in forced heaving motion. The potential flow problem is solved on a boundary fitted coordinate system that deforms in response to the motion of the free surface and the heaving body. The full nonlinear kinematic and dynamic boundary conditions are used at the free surface. The governing equations and associated boundary conditions are solved by a second-order finite-difference technique based on the modified Euler method for the time domain and a successive overrelaxation (SOR) procedure for the spatial domain. A series of sensitivity studies of grid size and resolution, time step, free surface and body grid redistribution schemes, convergence criteria, and free surface body boundary condition specification was performed to investigate the computational characteristics of the model. The model was applied to predict the forces generated by the forced oscillation of a U-shaped cylinder. Numerical model predictions are generally in good agreement with the available second-order theories for the first-order pressure and force coefficients, but clearly show that the third-order terms are larger than the second-order terms when nonlinearity becomes important in the dimensionless frequency range 1≤ Fr≤ 2. The model results are in good agreement with the available experimental data and confirm the importance of the third order terms.

This paper discusses aerodynamic design methods of volute casings used in turbocharger turbines. A quasi-three-dimensional (Q-3D) design method is proposed in which a group of extended two-dimensional potential flow equations and the streamline equation are numerically solved to obtain the geometry of spiral volutes. A tongue loss model, based on the turbulence wake theory, is also presented, and good agreement with experimental data is shown.

The water entry of two-dimensional body with flow separation is simulated based on potential theory and boundary element method. The double point model and four-order Runge-Kutta method and jet-cut model and free surface smooth technique and regrinding technique are used to assure the stability and accuracy of the numerical result. A flow separation model is introduced to simulate the water entry of two-dimensional body with knuckle. The free surface elevation and pressure distribution of wedge with knuckle are predicted and compared with other theory result. Good agreement between numerical result and other theory result is indicated that the numerical method is stability and effective.

A two-dimensional (2D) dynamical model based on Langevin equations was applied to study the fission dynamics of the compound nuclei 228 U produced in 19 F + 209 Bi reactions at intermediate excitation energies. The distance between the centers of masses of the future fission fragments was used as the first dimension and the projection of the total spin of the compound nucleus onto the symmetry axis, K, was considered as the second dimension in Langevin dynamical calculations. The magnitude of post-saddle friction strength was inferred by fitting measured data on the average pre-scission neutron multiplicity for 228 U . It was shown that the results of calculations are in good agreement with the experimental data by using values of the post-saddle friction equal to 6–8 × 1021 s -1.

AbstractThis paper characterises the concept of monolayer mobile gas adsorption on a homogeneous surface of a solid. The theoretical basis of the phenomenological variant of the description of adsorption equilibrium in the system in question are discussed. The essential features of the solutions to date are discussed, and the effect of the free surface of adsorbent on the form of the final adsorption equation is stressed.An alternative concept of the free surface based on the modified two-dimensional analogue of Reiss, Frisch and Lebowitz equations is also presented. The obtained adsorption equation was tested for critical parameters of two-dimensional condensation of the adsorption layer, and then used to describe the experimental data available in literature. The verification carried out confirmed the correctness and usefulness of the proposed concept.

The spatial problem of internal explosive loading of an elastoplastic cylindrical container filled with water in Eulerian - Lagrangian variables using multigrid algorithms is considered. A defining system of three-dimensional equations of the dynamics of gas, fluid, and elastoplastic medium is presented. For numerical modeling, a modification of S.K. Godunov scheme of the increased accuracy for both detonation products and liquids, and elastoplastic container is used. At the moving contact boundaries “detonation products - liquid”, “liquid - deformable body”, the exact solution of the Riemann's problem is used. A time dependent model is used to describe the propagation of steady-state detonation wave through an explosive from an initiation region. In both cases, the initiation of detonation occurs at the center of the charge. Two problems have been solved: the first task for the aisymmetric position of the charge, the second for the charge shifted relative to the axis of symmetry. In the first task, the processes are two-dimensional axisymmetric in nature, in the second task, the processes are essentially three-dimensional. A comparison is made of the results of calculations of the first problem using a three-dimensional method with a solution using a previously developed two-dimensional axisymmetric method and experimental data. Good agreement is observed between the numerical results for the maximum velocities and circumferential strains obtained by various methods and experimental data. There is good agreement between the numerical results obtained by various methods and the known experimental data. Comparison of the results of solving the first and second problems shows a significant effect of the position of the charge on the wave processes in the liquid, the processes of loading the container and its elastoplastic deformation. The dynamic behavior of a gas bubble with detonation products is analyzed. A significant deviation of the bubble shape from the spherical one, caused by the action of shock waves reflected from the structure, is shown. Comparison of the results of solving the first and second problems showed a significant effect of the charge position on wave processes in a liquid, the processes of loading a container and its elastoplastic deformation. In particular, in the second problem, shock waves of higher amplitude are observed in the liquid when reflected from the walls of the container.

This paper studies the effect of profile thickness on the propulsive forces generated by the swimming of a two-dimensional fish. Comparison of numerical calculations with reported experimental data shows good agreement and demonstrates a decrease of thrust with increasing thickness. Previous two-dimensional linearized theories on fish propulsion dealing with the motion of an infinitesimally thin hydrofoil are included in the present contribution as special cases.

In this paper we present numerical and experimental work motivated by the study of a rudder profile with significant levels of lift that provides better performance for the maneuvering and stabilization of a ship. This is the so-called Schilling profile. The analysis of the two-dimensional subsonic steady flow over four profiles was carried out using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools with a κ-ω SST turbulence model. We consider three Schilling profiles with different thicknesses and the classical NACA 0015 profile, taken as a reference. Simulation results were compared to our experimental measurements at various angles of attack and two orders of magnitude of the Reynolds number, 5.45 × 104 and 1.09 × 105. The numerical results show general good agreement with experimental data and highlight the distinct behavior of Schilling profile.

AbstractPrediction of the characteristics of turbulent flow with streamline curvature is of great importance in engineering applications. In this paper, a curvature-corrected filter-based turbulent model is suggested by applying the Spalart-Shur correction term. This new version of the model (FBM-CC) has been tested and verified through two canonical benchmarks with strong streamline curvature: the flow in a two-dimensional U-duct and the free shear flow past NACA0012 airfoil with a round tip. Predictions of the FBM-CC model are compared with available experimental data and the corresponding results of the original FBM model. The numerical results show that the FBM-CC model significantly improves the sensitivity to the effect of streamline curvature and the numerical calculation accuracy, in relatively good agreement with the experimental data, which suggests that this proposed model may be employed to simulate the turbulent curved flow in engineering applications.
