    Description: An expression for the rate-of-strain tensor on a rigid surface due to Caswell is generalized to an arbitrarily moving and continuously deforming surface or interface between two immiscible fluids. Corresponding expressions for the velocity gradient and vorticity tensors are derived in an inertial frame of reference. A noteworthy feature of the expression for the rate-of-strain tensor is the presence of a tangent-tangent component, which is absent in the case of a rigid surface. Kinematic applications based on numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equation for laminar and turbulent flow demonstrate the significance and implications of the derived expressions. © 2005 Cambridge University Press.

    Description: The forces exerted on a body moving through a fluid depend strongly on the local dynamic processes and structures generated by the body motion, such as flow separation, vortices, etc. A detailed and quantitative understanding of the effects of these processes and structures on the instantaneous overall force characteristics is of fundamental significance, and may improve our capabilities for flow analysis and control. In the present study, some unconventional force expressions based on 'derivative-moment transformations', which can have a rich variety of forms for the same flow field, are used to provide better insight into local dynamics. In particular, we apply jointly three alternative unconventional force expressions to analyse two numerical solutions of unsteady and viscous circular-cylinder flows. The results confirm the exactness of the expressions and, more importantly, provide a unified understanding of the specific influence on the force of each individual flow structure at its different evolution stages. © 2007 Cambridge University Press.

    Description: We report our systematic development of a general and exact theory for diagnosis of total force and moment exerted on a generic body moving and deforming in a calorically perfect gas. The total force and moment consist of a longitudinal part (L-force) due to compressibility and irreversible thermodynamics, and a transverse part (T-force) due to shearing. The latter exists in incompressible flow but is now modulated by the former. The theory represents a full extension of a unified incompressible diagnosis theory of the same type developed by J. Z. Wu and coworkers to compressible flow, with Mach number ranging from low-subsonic to moderate-supersonic flows. Combined with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, the theory permits quantitative identification of various complex flow structures and processes responsible for the forces, and thereby enables rational optimal configuration design and flow control. The theory is confirmed by a numerical simulation of circular-cylinder flow in the range of free-stream Mach number M1 between 0.2 and 2.0. The L-drag and T-drag of the cylinder vary with M1 in different ways, the underlying physical mechanisms of which are analysed. Moreover, each L-force and T-force integrand contains a universal factor of local Mach number M. Our preliminary tests suggest that the possibility of finding new similarity rules for each force constituent could be quite promising. © 2014 Cambridge University Press.

    Description: This paper studies the lift and drag experienced by a body in a two-dimensional, viscous, compressible and steady flow. By a rigorous linear far-field theory and the Helmholtz decomposition of the velocity field, we prove that the classic lift formula L = ρ0UΓφ, originally derived by Joukowski in 1906 for inviscid potential flow, and the drag formula D = ρ0UQψ, derived for incompressible viscous flow by Filon in 1926, are universally true for the whole field of viscous compressible flow in a wide range of Mach number, from subsonic to supersonic flows. Here, Γφ and Qψ denote the circulation of the longitudinal velocity component and the inflow of the transverse velocity component, respectively. We call this result the Joukowski-Filon theorem (J-F theorem for short). Thus, the steady lift and drag are always exactly determined by the values of Γφ and Qψ, no matter how complicated the near-field viscous flow surrounding the body might be. However, velocity potentials are not directly observable either experimentally or computationally, and hence neither are the J-F formulae. Thus, a testable version of the J-F formulae is also derived, which holds only in the linear far field. Due to their linear dependence on the vorticity, these formulae are also valid for statistically stationary flow, including time-averaged turbulent flow. Thus, a careful RANS (Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes) simulation is performed to examine the testable version of the J-F formulae for a typical airfoil flow with Reynolds number Re = 6.5 × 106 and free Mach number M ∈ [0.1, 2.0]. The results strongly support and enrich the J-F theorem. The computed Mach-number dependence of L and D and its underlying physics, as well as the physical implications of the theorem, are also addressed. © Cambridge University Press 2015.

    Description: Using helical-wave decomposition (HWD), a solenoidal vector field can be decomposed into helical modes with different wavenumbers and polarities. Here, we first review the general formulation of HWD in an arbitrary single-connected domain, along with some new development. We then apply the theory to a viscous incompressible turbulent channel flow with system rotation, including a derivation of helical bases for a channel domain. By these helical bases, we construct the inviscid inertial-wave (IW) solutions in a rotating channel and derive their existing condition. The condition determines the specific wavenumber and polarity of the IW. For a set of channel turbulent flows rotating about a streamwise axis, this channel-domain HWD is used to decompose the flow data obtained by direct numerical simulation. The numerical results indicate that the streamwise rotation induces a polarity-asymmetry and concentrates the fluctuating energy to particular helical modes. At large rotation rates, the energy spectra of opposite polarities exhibit different scaling laws. The nonlinear energy transfer between different helical modes is also discussed. Further investigation reveals that the IWs do exist when the streamwise rotation is strong enough, for which the theoretical predictions and numerical results are in perfect agreement in the core region. The wavenumber and polarity of the IW coincide with that of the most energetic helical modes in the energy spectra. The flow visualizations show that away from the channel walls, the small vortical structures are clustered to form very long columns, which move in the wall-parallel plane and serve as the carrier of the IW. These discoveries also help clarify certain puzzling problems raised in previous studies of streamwise-rotating channel turbulence. © 2010 Cambridge University Press.
