For wake fields with circumferential averages that include a small radial component, an additional termarises in the mathematical model used for design or performance prediction of propellers that has been previously overlooked. This term arises from the boundary condition that the blade is impenetrable and is a function of only geometry and the inflow radial velocity component. This simple additional term is shown to be important for the example considered, leading to a variable change in camber and a pitch reduction.

In this paper, an attempt has been made to predict the performance of a planing catamaran using a mathematical model. Catamarans subjected to a common hydrodynamic lift, have an extra lift between the two asymmetric half bodies. In order to develop a mathematical model for performance prediction of planing catamarans, existing formulas for hydrodynamic lift calculation must be modified. Existing empirical and semi-empirical equations in the literature have been implemented and compared against available experimental data. Evaluation of lift in comparison with experimental data has been documented. Parameters influencing the interaction between demi-hulls and separation effects have been analyzed. The mathematical model for planing catamarans has been developed based on Savitsky’s method and results have been compared against experimental data. Finally, the effects of variation in hull geometry such as deadrise angle and distance between two half bodies on equilibrium trim angle, resistance and wetted surface have been examined.

In this paper, the magnetic nanoparticles are injected into a water-oil, two-phase system under the influence of an external permanent magnetic field. We lay down the mathematical model and provide a set of numerical exercises of hypothetical cases to show how an external magnetic field can influence the transport of nanoparticles in the proposed two-phase system in porous media. We treat the water-nanoparticles suspension as a miscible mixture, whereas it is immiscible with the oil phase. The magnetization properties, the density, and the viscosity of the ferrofluids are obtained based on mixture theory relationships. In the mathematical model, the phase pressure contains additional term to account for the extra pressures due to fluid magnetization effect and the magnetostrictive effect. As a proof of concept, the proposed model is applied on a countercurrent imbibition flow system in which both the displacing and the displaced fluids move in opposite directions. Physical variables, including water-nanoparticles suspension saturation, nanoparticles concentration, and pore wall/throat concentrations of deposited nanoparticles, are investigated under the influence of the magnetic field. Two different locations of the magnet are studied numerically, and variations in permeability and porosity are considered.

AbstractI discuss pulsar wind nebulae for which ram pressure from the neutron star’s motion is a key element of the morphology. These PWN are tools for determining the pulsar distance, radial velocity component, and interaction of pulsar winds with surrounding media. The Guitar Nebula pulsar (B2224+65) also represents a ‘smoking gun’ for velocity kicks from asymmetric supernovae or other rocket effects. The detectability of wind nebulae from pulsars and from as-yet unknown neutron stars is discussed.

In this article, a mathematical model based on the 2D+T theory has been developed to predict the performance of two-stepped planing hulls in calm water. It has been attempted to develop a mathematical model without using regression formulas. It leads to development of a computational model with no common limitations related to empirical models which have an individual range of applicability. For this purpose, theoretical solution of water entry of a two-dimensional wedge section has been implemented to compute the pressure distribution over wedge section entering water, and then normal forces acting on the two-dimensional sections are computed. Bottom of the boat has been divided into three different planing surfaces including fore, middle and aft bodies. Computations are performed for each of these surfaces. By integrating the two-dimensional sectional normal forces over the entire wetted length of the vessel, the trim angle, wetted surface and resistance have been obtained. To evaluate the accuracy of the presented method, the obtained results are compared against experimental data and a previous empirical-based method developed by authors. The comparison suggests that the proposed method predicted dynamic trim angle, wetted surface and resistance of double stepped boats with reasonable accuracy. The mean errors in prediction of trim angle, wetted surface and resistance are, respectively, 13%, 16% and 8%. It should also be noted that although computation of running attitudes and resistance of double-stepped planing boats are targeted in this article, the mathematical model has been developed in such a way that it has the potential to model transverse and vertical motions of two-stepped planing hulls in future studies.


We consider an infinite vortex line in a viscous fluid interacting with a plane boundary surface at right angles to the line. If the boundary surface were absent, the vortex would impart to the fluid a circular motion about the vortex line with speed inversely proportional to the distance to the line. The presence of the boundary surface, however, leads to a secondary flow due to the forced adherence of the fluid at the surface. The purpose of the paper is to describe a family of exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations which applies to the above situation. Under quite general hypotheses, it is shown that there can exist only three types of motion compatible with the assumed structure. In the first kind, the radial velocity component (using spherical polar coordinates about the point where the vortex meets the plane surface) is directed inward along the plane surface and upward along the axis of the vortex. In the second type of motion the radial velocity component is directed inward along the plane surface and downward on the axis, with a compensating outflow at an intermediate angle. In the third kind the radial velocity is directed outward near the plane and downward on the central axis. The results can also be used as a basis for numerical calculations of the solutions in question, and several typical flow patterns have been explicitly computed in order to illustrate the theory. The paper concludes with a discussion of the relation between the theoretical solutions and observed phenomena near the point of contact of tornadoes with the ground; this requires that the flows under discussion be considered as mean motions in a turbulent flow with constant eddy viscosity. The present work adds theoretical weight to the argument that central downdrafts can occur in tornadoes. Moreover, the model provides an explanation, other than centrifugal action, for the frequent appearance of a cascade effect at the foot of both tornadoes and water-spouts; finally it offers a unified point of view from which to consider the diversity of flow patterns observed when vortex fields interact with a boundary surface.

This paper describes an experiment to study the combined effects of high-frequency electromagnetic and acoustic fields on a model of an oil reservoir. A mathematical model is described that describes the physical processes that occur in the reservoir. The heat equation takes into account heat transfer with the environment by introducing an additional term. The largest discrepancy between theoretical and experimental data does not exceed 28%. Qualitative coincidence of theoretical and experimental curves indicates the adequacy of the mathematical model.

Wind shear is a dangerous atmospheric phenomenon in aviation. Wind shear is defined as a sudden change of speed or direction of the wind. In order to analyze the influence of wind shear on the efficiency of the airplane, this paper proposes a mathematical model of point target rain echo and weather target signal echo based on Doppler effect. The wind field model is developed in this paper, and the antenna model is also studied by using Bessel function. The spectrum distribution of symmetric and asymmetric wind fields is researched by using the mathematical model proposed in this paper. The simulation results are in accordance with radial velocity component, and the simulation results also confirm the correctness of the established model of antenna.
