Experiments in Shock-Vortex Interactions

Studies of shock-vortex interactions in the past have predominantly been numerical, with a number of idealizations such as assuming an isolated vortex and a plane shock wave. In the present case the vortex is generated from flow separation at a corner. A shear layer results which wraps up into a spiral vortex. The flow is impulsively initiated by the diffraction of a shock wave over the edge. The strength of the shock determines the nature of the flow at the corner and that induced behind the diffracted wave. A wide variety of cases are considered using different experimental arrangements such as having two independent shock waves arriving at the corner at different times, to reflecting the diffracting wave off different surfaces back into the vortex, and to examining the flow around bends where the reflection off the far wall reflects back onto the vortex. The majority of studies have shown that the vortex normally retains its integrity after shock transit. Some studies with curved shock waves and numerous traverses have shown evidence of vortex breakup and the development of turbulent patches in the flow, as well as significant vortex stretching. Depending on the direction of approach of the shock wave it refracts through the shear layer thereby changing the strength and direction of both. Of particular note is that the two diffracted waves which emerge from the vortex as the incident wave passes through interact with each other resulting in a pressure spike of considerable magnitude. An additional spike is also identified.

Structural stability of spiral beams and fine structure of an energy flow

The problem of structural stability of wave systems with great numbers of degrees of freedom directly concerns the issue of redistribution of energy fluxes in structured vortex beams that ensure their stability under propagating and focusing. A special place in this variety is occupied by spiral vortex beams capable of mapping complex figures, letters and even words. Spiral beams contain an infinite set of Laguerre-Gauss beams with a strong sequence of topological charges and radial numbers, their amplitudes and phases are tightly matched. Therefore, the problem of structural stability plays a special role for their applications. Using a combination of theory and computer simulation, supported by experiment, we ana-lyzed the structure of critical points in energy flows for two main types of spiral beams: triangular beams with zero radial number and triangular beams with complex framing of their faces with both quantum numbers. Structural stability is provided by triads of critical points, both inside and outside the triangle, which direct the light flux along the triangular generatrix and hold the framing when rotating the beam. The experiment showed that a simple triangular spiral beam turns out to be stable even with small alignment inaccuracies, whereas a complex triangular beam with a fram-ing requires careful alignment.

Centrifugal Waves in Tornado-like Vortices: Kelvin’s solutions and their Applications to Multiple-Vortex Development and Vortex Breakdown

About 140 years ago, Lord Kelvin derived the equations describing waves that travel along the axis of concentrated vortices such as tornadoes. Although Kelvin’s vortex waves, also known as centrifugal waves, feature prominently in the engineering and uid dynamics literature, they have not attracted as much attention in the field of atmospheric science. To remedy this circumstance, Kelvin’s elegant derivation is retraced, and slightly generalized, to obtain solutions for a hierarchy of vortex ows that model basic features of tornado-like vortices. This treatment seeks to draw attention to the important work that Lord Kelvin did in this field, and reveal the remarkably rich structure and dynamics of these waves. Kelvin’s solutions help explain the vortex breakdown phenomenon routinely observed in modeled tornado-like vortices, and it is shown that his work is compatible with the widely used criticality condition put forth by Benjamin in 1962. Moreover, it is demonstrated that Kelvin’s treatment, with the slight generalization, includes unstable wave solutions that have been invoked to explain some aspects of the formation of multiple-vortex tornadoes. The analysis of the unstable solutions also forms the basis for determining whether e.g., an axisymmetric or a spiral vortex breakdown occurs. Kelvin’s work thus helps understand some of the visible features of tornado-like vortices.

Investigation on the Mechanism and Parametric Description of Non-Synchronous Blade Vibration

In order to explore the mechanism during the process of the non-synchronous vibration (NSV), the flow field formation development is investigated in this paper. Based on the fluid–structure interaction method, the vibration of rotor blades is found to be in the first bending mode with a non-integral order (4.6) of the rotation speed. Referring to the constant inter blade phase angle (IBPA), the appearances of frequency-locking and phase-locking can be identified for the NSV. A periodical instability flow emerges in the tip region with the mixture of separation vortex and tip leakage flow. Due to the nonlinearities of fluid and structure, the blade vibration exhibits a limit cycle oscillation (LCO) response. The separation vortex presenting a spiral structure propagates in the annulus, indicating a pattern as modal oscillation. A flow induced vibration is initiated by the spiral vortex in the tip. The large pressure oscillation caused by the movement of the spiral vortex is regarded as a main factor for the presented NSV. As the oscillation of blade loading occurs with blade rotating pass the disturbances, the intensity of the reverse leakage flow in adjacent channels also plays a crucial role in the blade vibration.
