Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to predict and control viscous flow phenomena is becoming increasingly important in modern industrial application. The Instability and Transition Workshop at Langley was extremely important in help§ ing the scientists community to access the state of knowledge in the area of transition from laminar to turbulent flow, to identify promising future areas of research and to build future interactions between researchers worldwide working in the areas of theoretical, experimental and computational fluid and aero dynamics. The set of two volume contains panel discussions and research contribution with the following objectives: (1) expose the academic community to current technologically important issues of instability and transitions in shear flows over the entire speed range, (2) acquaint the academic community with the unique combination of theoretical, computational and experimental capabilities at LaRC and foster interaction with these facilities. (3) review current state-of-the-art and propose future directions for instability and transition research, (4) accelerate progress in elucidating basic understanding of transition phenomena and in transferring this knowledge into improved design methodologies through improved transition modeling, and (5) establish mechanism for continued interaction.
Book Synopsis Inviscid Modes of Instability for Flow in a Curved Channel by : David Allan Lee
Download or read book Inviscid Modes of Instability for Flow in a Curved Channel written by David Allan Lee and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inviscid modes of instability are investigated for the flow between concentric circular cylinders due to the combined effects of rotation and of a constant pressure gradient acting round the cylinders. Detailed results are obtained for the case of pure pressure flow in the limit of the small gap approximation. The results obtained show that both convective and oscillatory modes of instability are present. (Author).

Book Synopsis A Flow Visualization Study of Laminar/Turbulent Transition in a Curved Channel by : Marc A. Siedband
Download or read book A Flow Visualization Study of Laminar/Turbulent Transition in a Curved Channel written by Marc A. Siedband and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laminar/turbulent transition was studied as it occurs in a newly constructed curved channel of rectangular cross section. The channel is 1.27 centimeters high by 50.8 centimeters wide (0.5 in. x 20 in.), aspect ratio of 40 to 1, with a concave surface radius of curvature of 60.96 centimeters (24 in.). Mean velocities for air in the channel range from 1.40 to 3.89 m/sec, which corresponds to Dean number and hydraulic Reynolds number ranges of 167 to 4651 and 2,231 to 6,173, respectively. Flow visualization from a smoke ire shows changes in the behavior and appearance of a smoke trace illuminated in the radial plane with varying Dean number and varying channel location. In some cases, these smoke trace patterns show distortion similar to what would be expected if pairs of counter-rotating vortices are present. A map of vortex stability as channel location and Dean number were varied was constructed from analysis of smoke trace photographs. Keywords: Dean vortices; Taylor Gortler vortices; Dean number; Rectangular curved channel; Secondary flow; Laminar flow; Concave curvature; Convex curvature; Thesis.

Download or read book IUTAM Symposium on Nonlinear Instability and Transition in Three-Dimensional Boundary Layers written by Peter W. Duck and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most fluid flows of practical importance are fully three-dimensional, so the non-linear instability properties of three-dimensional flows are of particular interest. In some cases the three-dimensionality may have been caused by a finite amplitude disturbance whilst, more usually, the unperturbed state is three-dimensional. Practical applications where transition is thought to be associated with non-linearity in a three- dimensional flow arise, for example, in aerodynamics (swept wings, engine nacelles, etc.), turbines and aortic blood flow. Here inviscid `cross-flow' disturbances as well as Tollmien-Schlichting and Görtler vortices can all occur simultaneously and their mutual non-linear behaviour must be understood if transition is to be predicted. The non-linear interactions are so complex that usually fully numerical or combined asymptotic/numerical methods must be used. Moreover, in view of the complexity of the instability processes, there is also a growing need for detailed and accurate experimental information. Carefully conducted tests allow us to identify those elements of a particular problem which are dominant. This assists in both the formulation of a relevant theoretical problem and the subsequent physical validation of predictions. It should be noted that the demands made upon the skills of the experimentalist are high and that the tests can be extremely sophisticated - often making use of the latest developments in flow diagnostic techniques, automated high speed data gathering, data analysis, fast processing and presentation.

Download or read book Processing by Centrifugation written by Liya L. Regel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-28 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume constitutes the proceedings of the Fourth International Workshop on Materials Processing at High Gravity, held at Clarkson University, May 29 to June 2, 2000. There were 73 attendees from 16 countries. Since the topics extended well beyond materials processing, it was felt appropriate to name this proceedings "Centrifugal Processing." Processing by Centrifugation includes the traditional bench-scale centrifuges, as well as all rotating systems utilizing the centrifugal and Coriolis forces to provide unique performance. Centrifugation led to the formation of sticky porous Teflon membranes, as well as improved polymeric solar cells. Centrifugation on large equipment improved the chemical vapor deposition of diamond films, influenced the growth and dissolution of semiconductor crystals, and elucidated the influence of gravity on coagulation of colloidal Teflon. A million g centrifuge was constructed and used to study sedimentation in solids and to prepare compositionally graded materials and new phases. Rotation of a pipe about its axis allowed the casting of large-diameter metal alloy pipes as well as coating the interior of pipes with a cermet utilizing self-propagating high-temperature synthesis. Such coatings are highly corrosion and erosion resistant. Flow on a rotating disk was shown to be useful for process intensification, such as large-scale manufacturing of nano-particles, polymerization reactions, and heat & mass transfer. Several theoretical studies dealt with the influence of rotation on fluid convection on surfaces and in pipes, tubes, and porous media. These have applications to integrated-circuit chip manufacturing, alloy casting, oil production, crystal growth, and the operation of rotating machinery.

Book Synopsis Turbulence and Transition Modelling by : M. Hallbäck
Download or read book Turbulence and Transition Modelling written by M. Hallbäck and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to give, within a single volume, an introduction to the fields of turbulence modelling and transition-to-turbulence prediction, and to provide the physical background for today's modelling approaches in these problem areas as well as giving a flavour of advanced use of prediction methods. Turbulence modelling approaches, ranging from single-point models based on the eddy-viscosity concept and the Reynolds stress transport equations (Chapters 3,4,5), to large-eddy simulation (LES) techniques (Ch. 7), are covered. The foundations of hydrodynamical stability and transition are presented (Ch. 2) along with transition prediction methods based on single-point closures (Ch. 6), LES techniques (Ch. 7) and the parabolized stability equations (Ch. 8). The book addresses engineers and researchers, in industry or academia, who are entering into the fields of turbulence or transition modelling research or need to apply turbulence or transition prediction methods in their work.
Book Synopsis Transition to Turbulent Flow in Finite Length Curved Pipe Using Nek5000 by : Amirreza Hashemi
Download or read book Transition to Turbulent Flow in Finite Length Curved Pipe Using Nek5000 written by Amirreza Hashemi and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transition to turbulent flow in curved pipe has been well studied through experiments and numerical simulations. Numerical simulations often use helical pipe geometry with infinite length such that the inlet and outlet boundary conditions can be modeled as periodic which reduces computational time. In the present study, we examined a finite length curved pipe with a Poiseuille flow imposed at the inlet and a stress-free boundary condition at the outlet. Direct numerical simulation of the Navier-Stokes equations for rigid walls and a Newtonian fluid was performed using nek5000. Straight extensions were added to the inlet and the outlet such to diminish the impact of boundary conditions on the flow field in the region with curvature. The examined model has a pipe radius of curvature that is three times that of the pipe radius. The model has over 300 million nodes and required an order of magnitude greater computational time when compared to the infinite length curved pipe. Results show that the critical Reynolds number (initiation of instabilities) is greater compared to a straight pipe and occurs near Re=5000-5200. This Re is also larger than the critical Reynolds number typically reported for an infinite length curved pipe (Re= 4200-4300). As expected, flow patterns in the finite length curved pipe were shown to be evolving through the curvature as opposed to that of an infinite length curved pipe where it remains constant. In addition, the initial instabilities observed in the flow did not originate from a Dean flow instability, initiated through secondary flow, but rather were first observed near the outer wall.
