    Influence of cross-flow on nonlinear Tollmien-Schlichting/vortex interaction (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: The transition of an incompressible three-dimensional boundary layer with strong cross-flow is considered theoretically and computationally in the context of vortex/wave interactions. Specifically the work centers on two lower-branch Tollmien-Schlichting waves which mutually interact nonlinearly to induce a longitudinal vortex flow. The vortex motion in turn gives rise to significant wave modulation via wall-shear forcing. The characteristic Reynolds number is large and, as a consequence, the waves' and the vortex motion are governed primarily by triple deck theory. The nonlinear interaction is captured by a viscous partial-differential system for the vortex coupled with a pair of amplitude equations for each wave pressure. Following analysis and computation over a wide range of parameters, three distinct responses are found to emerge in the nonlinear behavior of the flow solution downstream: an algebraic finite-distance singularity, far-downstream saturation or far-downstream wave decay leaving pure vortex flow. These depend on the input conditions, the wave angles and the size of the cross flow.

    The linear stability of plane stagnation-point flow against general disturbances (1991)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: The linear-stability theory of plane stagnation-point flow against an infinite flat plate is re-examined. Disturbances are generalized from those of Goertler type to include other types of variations along the plate. It is shown that Hiemenz flow is linearly stable and that the Goertler-type modes are those that decay slowest. This work then rationalizes the use of such self-similar disturbances on Hiemenz flow and shows how questions of disturbance structure can be approached on other self-similar flows.

    Long-wave morphological instabilities in the directional solidification of a dilute binary mixture (1990)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Long-wave instabilities in a directionally-solidified binary mixture may occur in several limits. Sivashinsky (1983) identified a small-segregation-coefficient limit and obtained a weakly nonlinear evolution equation governing subcritical two-dimensional bifurcation. Brattkus and Davis (1988) identified a near-absolute-stability limit and obtained a strongly nonlinear evolution equation governing supercritical two-dimensional bifurcation. The present investigation identifies a third strongly nonlinear evolution equation, arising in the small-segregation-coefficient, large-surface-energy limit. This equation links both of the former and describes the change from the sub- to super-critical bifurcations. This study sets the previous long-wave analyses into a logical framework.

    Hydrodynamic interactions in directional solidification (1990)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: A binary liquid undergoes unidirectional solidification. The one-dimensional steady state is susceptible to morphological instability that causes the solid/liquid interface to change from a planar state to a cellular pattern. This paper examines the effects on this transition of volume-change convection, buoyancy-driven convection or forced flows. It emphasizes how flows alter stability limits, create scale and pattern changes in morphology, and create, through coupling, new instabilities. Emphasis is placed on the physical mechanisms of the interactions.

    Long-wave interactions in morphological and convective instabilities (1990)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: A binary liquid that undergoes directional solidification is susceptible to morphological and solutal-convective instabilities that cause the solid/liquid interface to change from a planar to a cellular state. This paper gives derivations for those long-wave evolution equations that describe the weak couplings between convection and interface morphology and gives some analytical results obtainable from these.

    Experimental investigation of turbulent flow through a circular-to-rectangular transition duct (1990)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: An incompressible, turbulent, swirl-free flow through a circular-to-rectangular transition duct was studied experimentally. The cross-sectional geometry all along the duct was defined using the equation of a superellipse. The three mean velocity components and the six Reynolds stress components were measured at two axial stations downstream from the transition. It is shown that a secondary flow vortex pair which develops along the duct sidewalls significantly distorts the mean and turbulence fields. At the duct exit, the flow is not in local equilibrium, but recovers to local equilibrium conditions in the rectangular extension duct. Analysis demonstrates that conventional wall functions are not applicable at all streamwise locations in the duct.

    Phase segregation due to simultaneous migration and coalescence (1994)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Ground-based modeling and experiments have been performed on the interaction and coalescence of drops leading to macroscopic phase separation. The focus has been on gravity-induced motion, with research also initiated on thermocapillary motion of drops. The drop size distribution initially shifts toward larger drops with time due to coalescence, and then a back towards smaller drops due to the larger preferentially settling out. As a consequence, the phase separation rate initially increases with time and then decreases.

    On nonlinear Tollmien-Schlichting/vortex interaction in three-dimensional boundary layers (1993)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The instability of an incompressible three-dimensional boundary layer (that is, one with cross-flow) is considered theoretically and computationally in the context of vortex/wave interactions. Specifically the work centers on two low amplitude, lower-branch Tollmien-Schlichting waves which mutually interact to induce a weak longitudinal vortex flow; the vortex motion, in turn, gives rise to significant wave-modulation via wall-shear forcing. The characteristic Reynolds number is taken as a large parameter and, as a consequence, the waves' and the vortex motion are governed primarily by triple-deck theory. The nonlinear interaction is captured by a viscous partial-differential system for the vortex coupled with a pair of amplitude equations for each wave pressure. Three distinct possibilities were found to emerge for the nonlinear behavior of the flow solution downstream - an algebraic finite-distance singularity, far downstream saturation or far-downstream wave-decay (leaving pure vortex flow) - depending on the input conditions, the wave angles, and the size of the cross-flow.

    Atmospheric pressure flow reactor: Gas phase chemical kinetics under tropospheric conditions without wall effects (1991)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: A flow reactor for simulating the interaction in the troposphere is set forth. A first reactant mixed with a carrier gas is delivered from a pump and flows through a duct having louvers therein. The louvers straighten out the flow, reduce turbulence and provide laminar flow discharge from the duct. A second reactant delivered from a source through a pump is input into the flowing stream, the second reactant being diffused through a plurality of small diffusion tubes to avoid disturbing the laminar flow. The commingled first and second reactants in the carrier gas are then directed along an elongated duct where the walls are spaced away from the flow of reactants to avoid wall interference, disturbance or turbulence arising from the walls. A probe connected with a measuring device can be inserted through various sampling ports in the second duct to complete measurements of the first and second reactants and the product of their reaction at selected XYZ locations relative to the flowing system.
