    Notes: A numerical study of Hopf bifuractions in annular liquid jets with mass transfer is presented. The study is based on the asymptotic equations which govern the dynamics of inviscid, incompressible, thin, annular liquid jets and on equilibrium conditions for mass transfer at the jet's inner and outer interfaces. It is shown that the amplitude of the time-periodic motion that results from the Hopf bifurcation increases whereas its frequency decreases as the solubility ratio is increased.

    Notes: A one-dimensional, time-dependent, isothermal, homogeneous, two-phase flow model was developed to study magma ascent in volcanic conduits. The physical modeling equations were numerically solved by means of a TVD (total variation diminishing) predictor-corrector procedure and by means of a predictor-corrector technique based on the method of characteristics. The results from the transient model were verified with an analytical solution for wave propagation in conduits without friction and gravitational effects. The numerical solutions were also compared with those of a steady-state, homogeneous, two-phase model for basaltic and rhyolitic magma ascents in the fissures and circular conduits of Vesuvius and Mt St. Helens. An application of the model to magma decompression in conduits indicates very short times for gas exsolution, fragmentation, and shock wave propagation, implying that the modelling of gas exsolution should involve non-equilibrium kinetics effects. Future coupling of the transient magma ascent model with magma chamber and pyroclastic dispersion models should allow for more realistic simulations of the time-dependent behavior of real volcanic eruptions.

    Topics: Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Production Engineering, Mining and Metallurgy, Traffic Engineering, Precision Mechanics
    Notes: Particle-laden flows are calculated for a classical laminar backward- facing step problem. The particle tracks are calculated using a recently developed exponential Lagrangian tracking scheme. The behaviour of the particle-laden flow is considered for various inlet for Reynolds number, Stokes numbers and void fractions. Doping the flow with low-Stokes-number particles has the effect of increasing the inlet inertia of the flow and this increases the strength of the recirculation behind the step. High-Stokes- number particles are dominated by gravitational effects which affect the flow accordingly. Differences between the single-phase flow and the particle-laden flows are therefore dependent on the Stokes number and increase linearly with void fraction.

    Notes: The study investigates the entrance effect for flow over a backward-facing step by comparing predictions that set the inlet boundary at various locations upstream of the sudden expansion. Differences are most significant in the sudden expansion region. If the geometry has an inlet channel, then shorter reattachment and separation lengths are predicted. Comparisons with experimental data indicate that better agreement is found using a long inlet channel, but only for low Reynolds numbers where the experimental error is less significant. For certain cases, predictions with a high expansion number are perturbed by the entrance effect more than low-expansion-number predictions; however, the effect is localized in the sudden expansion region. Channels with low expansion numbers always experience a greater entrance effect after some distance upstream and downstream of the sudden expansion. The boundary layer growth in the inlet channel was examined using a uniform inlet velocity profile. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A computational study is performed on two-dimensional mixed convection in an annulus between a horizontal outer cylinder and a heated, rotating, eccentric inner cylinder. The computation has been done using a non-orthogonal grid and a fully collocated finite volume procedure. Solutions are iterated to convergence through a pressure correction scheme and the convection is treated by Van Leer's MUSCL scheme. The numerical procedure adopted here can easily eliminate the ‘Numerical leakage’ phenomenon of the mixed convection problem whereby strong buoyancy and centrifugal effects are encountered in the case of a highly eccentric annulus. Numerical results have been obtained for Rayleigh number Ra ranging from 7×103 to 107, Reynolds number Re from 0 to 1200 and Prandtl number Pr from 0.01 to 7. The mixed rotation parameter σ (=Ra/PrRe2) varies from ∞ (pure natural convection) to 0.01 with various eccentricities ε. The computational results are in good agreement with previous works which show that the mixed convection heat transfer characteristics in the annulus are significantly affected by σ and ε. The results indicate that the mean Nusselt number Nu increases with increasing Ra or Pr but decreases with increasing Re. In the case of a highly eccentric annulus the conduction effect becomes predominant in the throat gap. Hence the crucial phenomenon on whereby Nu first decreases and then increases can be found with increasing eccentricity. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A viscoelastic analysis is presented for model tube tooling, draw-down and combined geometry flows encountered in the cable coating industries. The work investigates the development of stress fields and studies the effect of varying entry flow stress boundary conditions. The analysis takes into account tube tooling and draw-down flow sections individually, and in combination. The flow behaviour of cable-coating grade low density polyethylene is studied assuming a viscoelastic, isothermal flow, and employing a Taylor-Petrov-Galerkin finite element scheme with an exponential Phan-Thien-Tanner constitutive model. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The Saint Venant equations for modelling flow in open channels are solved in this paper, using a variety of total variation diminishing (TVD) schemes. The performance of second- and third-order-accurate TVD schemes is investigated for the computation of free-surface flows, in predicting dam-breaks and extreme flow conditions created by the river bed topography. Convergence of the schemes is quantified by comparing error norms between subsequent iterations. Automatically calculated time steps and entropy corrections allow high CFL numbers and smooth transition between different conditions. In order to compare different approaches with TVD schemes, the most accurate of each type was chosen. All four schemes chosen proved acceptably accurate. However, there are important differences between the schemes in the occurrence of clipping, overshooting and oscillating behaviour and in the highest CFL numbers allowed by a scheme. These variations in behaviour stem from the different orders and inherent properties of the four schemes. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A numerical model is presented for the prediction of thermal radiation absorption in dense gas clouds during accidental release in the atmosphere. The model is based on the discrete transfer method (DT method) that was originally developed for modelling radiation in combustion chambers. The radiation model assumes a number of representative rays of predetermined orientation fired from each of the domain boundaries. Each ray is traced through the domain elements until reaching another boundary where it is terminated. Radiation sources are calculated for each element by performing an energy balance across each element for each ray passing through it. The energy sources recovered are fed into the finite element flow solver for every time step in the energy equation. The model proved accurate, and memory and computer time efficient. It showed that accounting for radiation effects lead to improved predictions. It also showed that in certain scenarios, radiation effects could be predominant. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Topics: Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Production Engineering, Mining and Metallurgy, Traffic Engineering, Precision Mechanics
    Notes: In order to use the optimal control techniques in models of geophysical flow circulation, an application to a 1D advection-diffusion equation, the so-called Burgers' equation, is described. The aim of optimal control is to find the best parameters of the model which ensure the closest simulation to the observed values. In a more general case, the continuous problem and the corresponding discrete form are formulated. Three kinds of simulation are realized to validate the method. Optimal control processes by initial and boundary conditions require an implicit discretization scheme on the first time step and a decentered one for the non-linear advection term on boundaries. The robustness of the method is tested with a noised dataset and random values of the initial controls. The optimization process of the viscosity coefficient as a time- and space-dependent variable is more difficult. A numerical study of the model sensitivity is carried out. Finally, the numerical application of the simultaneous control by the initial conditions, the boundary conditions and the viscosity coefficient allows a possible influence between controls to be taken into account. These numerical experiments give methodological rules for applications to more complex situations. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Perturbation methods are used to obtain the one-dimensional, asymptotic equations that govern the fluid dynamics of slender, thin, inviscid, incompressible, axisymmetric, irrotational, annular liquid jets from the Euler equations. It is shown that, depending on the magnitude of the Weber number, two flow regimes are possible: an inertia-dominated one corresponding to large Weber numbers, and a capillary regime for Weber numbers of the order of unity. The steady equations governing these two regimes have analytical solutions for the liquid's axial velocity component and require a numerical integration to determine the jet's mean radius for inertia-dominated jets. The one-dimensional equations derived in this paper are shown to be particular cases of a hydraulic model for annular liquid jets, and this model is used to determine the effects of gravity modulation on the unsteady fluid dynamics of annular liquid jets in the absence of mass injection into the volume enclosed by the jet and mass absorption. It is shown that both the convergence length and the pressure coefficient are periodic functions of time which have the same period as that of the gravity modulation, but undergo large variations as the amplitude, frequency and width of gravitational pulses is varied.
