Non-stationary effects in hypersonic nonuniform dusty-gas flow past a blunt body

In the framework of the two-fluid model, a hypersonic flow of a nonuniform dusty gas with low inertial (non-depositing) particles around a blunt body is considered. The particle mass concentration is assumed to be small, so that the effect of particles on the carrier phase is significant only inside the boundary layer where the particles accumulate. Stepshaped and harmonic nonuniformities of the particle concentration ahead of the bow shock wave are considered and the corresponding nonstationary distributions of the particle concentration in the shock layer are studied. On the basis of numerical study of nonstationary two-phase boundary layer equations derived by the matched asymptotic expansion method, the effects of free-stream particle concentration nonuniformities on the thermal flux, and the friction coefficient in the neighborhood of stagnation point are investigated, in particular, the most “dangerous” nonuniformity periods are found.

Viscous boundary layers in flows through a domain with permeable boundary

The effect of small viscosity on nearly inviscid flows of an incompressible fluid through a given domain with permeable boundary is studied. The Vishik–Lyusternik method is applied to construct a boundary layer asymptotic at the outlet in the limit of vanishing viscosity. Mathematical problems with both consistent and inconsistent initial and boundary conditions at the outlet are considered. It is shown that in the former case, the viscosity leads to a boundary layer only at the outlet. In the latter case, in the leading term of the expansion there is a boundary layer at the outlet and there is no boundary layer at the inlet, but in higher order terms another boundary layer appears at the inlet. To verify the validity of the expansion, a number of simple examples are presented. The examples demonstrate that asymptotic solutions are in quite good agreement with exact or numerical solutions.     

A boundary integral method for computing forces on particles in unsteady Stokes and linear viscoelastic fluids

Accurately characterizing the forces acting on particles in fluids is of fundamental importance for understanding particle dynamics and binding kinetics. Conventional asymptotic solutions may lead to poor accuracy for neighboring particles. In this paper, we develop an accurate boundary integral method to calculate forces exerted on particles for a given velocity field. We focus our study on the fundamental two‐bead oscillating problem in an axisymmetric frame. The idea is to exploit a correspondence principle between the unsteady Stokes and linear viscoelasticity in the Fourier domain such that a unifying boundary integral formulation can be established for the resulting Brinkman equation. In addition to the dimension reduction vested in a boundary integral method, our formulation only requires the evaluation of single‐layer integrals, which can be carried out efficiently and accurately by a hybrid numerical integration scheme based on kernel decompositions. Comparison with known analytic solutions and existing asymptotic solutions confirms the uniform third‐order accuracy in space of our numerical scheme. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Unsteady Boundary Layer on a Blunt Body in a Hypersonic Flow of Non-Uniform Dusty Gas

The unsteady heat transfer at the stagnation point on a blunt body traveling at hypersonic velocity through a layer of nonuniform dusty gas with low-inertia particles (not deposited on the body surface) is investigated. Using the matched asymptotic expansion method, the equations of the two-phase unsteady boundary layer near the symmetry axis of the body are derived with account for the polydispersity of the particles. The structure of the unsteady boundary layer and the variation of the friction and heat transfer coefficients at the stagnation point are studied numerically. Layered nonuniformities of the particle concentration and size are considered, the limits of variation of the thermal and mechanicals loads are found, and the effect of the dust polydispersity on the heat transfer is investigated.

All first- and second-order coefficients of the problem are determined from numerical solutions of the basic set of equations.     

On the motion of incompressible-medium particles in a domain with a periodically varying boundary

The motion of incompressible-medium particles in a cavity bounded by a plane bottom, vertical lateral walls, and a top boundary deformed in accordance with an arbitrary periodic law is investigated. The problem is reduced to solving the Hamilton equations with a time-periodic Hamiltonian. To study the system, the Hamilton system averaging method and the KAM (Kolmogorov, Arnold, Mozer) theory are used. A novel modification of the averaging procedure using the Poincaré point map is proposed. Correct to an exponentially small cavity boundary deformation amplitude, the Poincaré map points lie on the closed integral curves of an averaged autonomous Hamiltonian system. An asymptotic expansion of the averaged Hamiltonian in the amplitude is written down. The method is applied to the solution of the following problems: (i) the Stokes problem of mass transfer by a progressive wave on the surface of a heavy finite-depth fluid and (ii) the problems of particle motion in a thin layer of viscous or viscoplastic medium with a deformable boundary. For the case of finite amplitudes, qualitative agreement between the results of the asymptotic theory and the numerical calculations is obtained. The reasons for the appearance of a stochastic regime are discussed. Moscow. Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Akademii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 12–19, July–August, 2000.

Particle trajectories under interactions between solitary waves and a linear shear current

This paper is concerned with particle trajectories beneath solitary waves when a linear shear current exists. The fluid is assumed to be incompressible and inviscid, lying on a flat bed. Classical asymptotic expansion is used to obtain a Korteweg-de Vries(Kd V) equation, then a forth-order Runge-Kutta method is applied to get the approximate particle trajectories. On the other hand, our particular attention is paid to the direct numerical simulation(DNS) to the original Euler equations. A conformal map is used to solve the nonlinear boundary value problem. Highaccuracy numerical solutions are then obtained through the fast Fourier transform(FFT) and compared with the asymptotic solutions, which shows a good agreement when wave amplitude is small. Further, it also yields that there are different types of particle trajectories. Most surprisingly,periodic motion of particles could exist under solitary waves, which is due to the wave-current interaction.     

The distribution of particles in a shock-induced boundary layer of a dusty gas over a solid surface

The laminar boundary layer behind a constant-speed shock wave moving through a dusty gas along a solid surface is studied. The Saffman lift force acting on a spherical particle in a gas boundary layer is taken into account. A method for calculating the density profile of dispersed phase near the wall is proposed and some numerical results are given. It is shown that behind the shock wave, there exists a curved thin layer where the density of particles is many times higher than the original one. This dust collection effect may be of essential importance to the problem of dust explosion in industry.     

Asymptotic solutions for the asymmetric flow in a channel with porous retractable walls under a transverse magnetic field

The self-similarity solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations are constructed for an incompressible laminar flow through a uniformly porous channel with retractable walls under a transverse magnetic field. The flow is driven by the expanding or contracting walls with different permeability. The velocities of the asymmetric flow at the upper and lower walls are different in not only the magnitude but also the direction. The asymptotic solutions are well constructed with the method of boundary layer correction in two cases with large Reynolds numbers, i.e., both walls of the channel are with suction, and one of the walls is with injection while the other one is with suction. For small Reynolds number cases, the double perturbation method is used to construct the asymptotic solution. All the asymptotic results are finally verified by numerical results.     

Analysis of a laminar boundary layer flow over a flat plate with injection or suction

An analysis is performed to study a laminar boundary layer flow over a porous flat plate with injection or suction imposed at the wall. The basic equations of this problem are reduced to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by means of appropriate transformations. These equations are solved analytically by the optimal homotopy asymptotic method (OHAM), and the solutions are compared with the numerical solution (NS). The effect of uniform suction/injection on the heat transfer and velocity profile is discussed. A constant surface temperature in thermal boundary conditions is used for the horizontal flat plate.     

Asymptotic Solution for a Kind of Boundary Layer Problem

This paper studies the partial differential equation with a small coefficient in the highest-order item. This kind of equation is also named as boundary layer problem. The Burgers equation and modified Burgers equation are analyzed in this approach. First, these equations are transferred into the strong nonlinear ones, and then the corresponding strong nonlinear equations are solved based on the perturbation method. The results from the asymptotic method are comparable with those obtained from numerical computation. An erratum to this article is available at .     

Prediction of periodic boundary layers

A relatively simple, yet efficient and accurate finite difference method is developed for the solution of the unsteady boundary layer equations for both laminar and turbulent flows. The numerical procedure is subjected to rigorous validation tests in the laminar case, comparing its predictions with exact analytical solutions, asymptotic solutions, and/or experimental results. Calculations of periodic laminar boundary layers are performed from low to very high oscillation frequencies, for small and large amplitudes, for zero as well as adverse time-mean pressure gradients, and even in the presence of significant flow reversal. The numerical method is then applied to predict a relatively simple experimental periodic turbulent boundary layer, using two well-known quasi-steady closure models. The predictions are shown to be in good agreement with the measurements, thereby demonstrating the suitability of the present numerical scheme for handling periodic turbulent boundary layers. The method is thus a useful tool for the further development of turbulence models for more complex unsteady flows.     

Heat and mass transfer by natural convection at a stagnation point in a porous medium considering Soret and Dufour effects

Dufour and Soret effects on flow at a stagnation point in a fluid-saturated porous medium are studied in this paper. A two dimensional stagnation-point flow with suction/injection of a Darcian fluid is considered. By using an appropriate similarity transformation, the boundary layer equations of momentum, energy and concentration are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically using the Keller-box method, which is a very efficient finite differences technique. Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are obtained, together with the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles in the boundary layer. For the large suction case, asymptotic analytical solutions of the problem are obtained, which compare favourably with the numerical solutions. A critical view of the problem is presented finally.     

Stability of a disperse-mixture flow in a boundary layer

The hydrodynamic stability of a dilute disperse mixture flow in a quasi-equilibrium region of a boundary layer with a significantly nonuniform particle concentration profile is investigated. The mixture is described by a two-fluid model with an incompressible viscous carrier phase. In addition to the Stokes drag, the Saffman lifting force is taken into account in the interphase momentum exchange. On the basis of a numerical solution of the boundary-value problem for a modified Orr-Sommerfeld equation, neutral stability curves are analyzed and the dependence of the critical Reynolds number on the governing parameters is studied. It is shown that taking into account the particle concentration nonuniformity in the main flow and the Saffman lifting force significantly changes the stability limits of the two-phase laminar boundary layer flow. The effect of these factors on the boundary layer stability is considered for the first time.     

Three-dimensional laminar boundary layer on a permeable surface in the neighborhood of a symmetry plane

Analytical and numerical methods are used to investigate a three-dimensional laminar boundary layer near symmetry planes of blunt bodies in supersonic gas flows. In the first approximation of an integral method of successive approximation an analytic solution to the problem is obtained that is valid for an impermeable surface, for small values of the blowing parameter, and arbitrary values of the suction parameter. An asymptotic solution is obtained for large values of the blowing or suction parameters in the case when the velocity vector of the blown gas makes an acute angle with the velocity vector of the external flow on the surface of the body. Some results are given of the numerical solution of the problem for bodies of different shapes and a wide range of angles of attack and blowing and suction parameters. The analytic and numerical solutions are compared and the region of applicability of the analytic expressions is estimated. On the basis of the solutions obtained in the present work and that of other authors, a formula is proposed for calculating the heat fluxes to a perfectly catalytic surface at a symmetry plane of blunt bodies in a supersonic flow of dissociated and ionized air at different angles of attack. Flow near symmetry planes on an impermeable surface or for weak blowing was considered earlier in the framework of the theory of a laminar boundary layer in [1–4]. An asymptotic solution to the equations of a three-dimensional boundary layer in the case of strong normal blowing or suction is given in [5, 6].Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 5, pp. 37–48, September–October, 1980.

The laminar boundary layer near a body corner point

A method is developed for calculating the characteristics of a laminar boundary layer near a body contour corner point, in the vicinity of which the outer supersonic stream passes through a rarefaction flow. In the study we use the asymptotic solution of the Navier-Stokes equations in the region with large longitudinal gradients of the flow functions for large values of the Reynolds number, the general form of which was used in [1].The pressure, heat flux, and friction distributions along the body surface are obtained. For small pressure differentials near the corner the solution of the corresponding equations for small disturbances is obtained in analytic form.The conventional method for studying viscous gas flow near body surfaces for large values of the Reynolds number is the use of the Prandtl boundary layer theory. Far from the body the asymptotic solution of the Navier-Stokes equations in the first approximation reduces to the solution of the Euler equations, while near the body it reduces to the solution of the Prandtl boundary layer equations. The characteristic feature of the boundary layer region is the small variation of the flow functions in the longitudinal direction in comparison with their variation in the transverse direction. However, in many cases this condition is violated.The necessity arises for constructing additional asymptotic expansions for the region in which the longitudinal and transverse variations of the flow functions are quantities of the same order. The general method for constructing asymptotic solutions for such flows with the use of the known method of outer and inner expansions is presented in [1].In the following we consider the flow in a laminar boundary layer for the case of a viscous supersonic gas stream in the vicinity of a body corner point. Behind the corner the flow separates from the body surface and flows around a stagnant zone, in which the pressure differs by a specified amount from the pressure in the undisturbed flow ahead of the point of separation. A pressure (rarefaction) disturbance propagates in the subsonic portion of the boundary layer upstream for a distance which in order of magnitude is equal to several boundary layer thicknesses. In the disturbed region of the boundary layer the longitudinal and transverse pressure and velocity disturbances are quantities of the same order. In this study we construct additional asymptotic expansions in the first approximation and calculate the distributions of the pressure, friction stress, and thermal flux along the body surface.     

Numerical solution of a steady natural convection flow from a vertical plate with the combined effects of streamwise temperature and species concentration variations

This paper concerns the investigation of steady thermosolutal natural convection from a vertical plate with the combined effect of streamwise sinusoidal variations of both the surface temperature and the species concentration about their respective constant means. The governing boundary layer equations are reduced to nonsimilar form, and these are solved by the stream-function formulations, and by the subsequent application of the Keller box method. The effects of varying the governing nondimensional physical parameters are obtained in terms of the isolines of temperature, iso-species concentration and the streamlines. An asymptotic solution for large values of X, the distance from the leading edge, has also been obtained. It has been found that the two-term asymptotic analysis and the numerical results obtained from Keller-box method are in excellent agreement.     

Steady flows of non-Newtonian fluids past a porous plate with suction or injection

The problem of the steady flow of three classes of non-linear fluids of the differential type past a porous plate with uniform suction or injection is studied. The flow which is studied is the counterpart of the classical ‘asymptotic suction’ problem, within the context of the non-Newtonian fluid models. The non-linear differential equations resulting from the balance of momentum and mass, coupled with suitable boundary conditions, are solved numerically either by a finite difference method or by a collocation method with a B-spline function basis. The manner in which the various material parameters affect the structure of the boundary layer is delineated. The issue of paucity of boundary conditions for general non-linear fluids of the differential type, and a method for augmenting the boundary conditions for a certain class of flow problems, is illustrated. A comparison is made of the numerical solutions with the solutions from a regular perturbation approach, as well as a singular perturbation.     

Numerical modeling of the disturbances of the separated flow in a rounded compression corner

Numerical modeling of the time-dependent supersonic flow over a compression corner with different roundness radii is performed on the basis of the solution of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in the regimes corresponding to local boundary layer separation. The development of unstable disturbances generated by local periodic injection/suction in the preseparated boundary layer is calculated. The results are compared with those of similar calculations for a flat plate. It is shown that the natural oscillations of the boundary-layer second mode stabilize in the separation zone and grow intensely downstream of the reattachment point. The acoustic modes excited within a separation bubble are studied using numerical calculations and an asymptotic analysis.
