Book Computational Simulation of Buoyancy driven Flows Using Vortex Methods

Download or read book Computational Simulation of Buoyancy driven Flows Using Vortex Methods written by Erik Witmer Egan and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new vortex method for simulating two-dimensional buoyancy-driven flows is presented. This Lagrangian method utilizes a discrete representation of the known density field along with the vorticity transport equation and Boussinesq approximation to yield the baroclinically-generated vorticity field, also in a discrete form. The corresponding velocity field is then computed using a vorticity-streamfunction scheme similar to the vortex-in-cell approach. Complete simulations for a variety of Rayleigh-Taylor stability problems are presented, as are preliminary results for Rayleigh-Bernard flows. The discrete vorticity field is made up of vertically-oriented vortex dipole markers. The mutual interactions among these markers are determined by redistributing the dipolar marker vorticity onto a fixed array of true vortices. Standard vortex-in-cell techniques can then be used to generate marker velocities. The vorticity redistribution step is accomplished by matching the far-field velocity of a single dipole marker to that generated by the local grid vortices. The overall simulation method is termed the Dipole-in-Cell approach. Viscous and thermal diffusion effects (for Rayleigh-Benard flows only) are described using a random walk scheme. Rayleigh-Taylor simulations for both single- and double-interface geometries show the expected linear and nonlinear flow development, including the recirculation associated with the Kelvin-Helmholtz interfacial instability. The double-interface results show the development of an "anti-spike" along the top interface, as seen in other studies. The simulations are also shown to be capable of following the impact of a mass of fluid on solid boundaries and pools of stagnant fluid. The Rayleigh-Benard results demonstrate the validity of the random walk mechanism for simulating diffusion and the ability to generate rough representations of the classic Benard convection cells. The accuracy of the Benard cell results is limited by the long computation times required to reach steady state for small Rayleigh numbers. For the large Rayleigh number flows of greatest interest, no such problems will occur and the method should be well suited to simulating them. Suggestions are made for method improvements, including extensions to three-dimensional flow problems.

Book 2013 Program of Study

Download or read book 2013 Program of Study written by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2013 Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Summer Study Program theme was Buoyancy- Driven Flows. Professor Paul Linden of the University of Cambridge was the principal lecturer. He ably introduced the topic from simple beginnings to sophisticated models and observations, guiding the audience in the cottage and on the porch through fundamental theory and applications. A number of topics from the lectures resurfaced in the fellows' projects. The first ten chapters of this volume document these lectures, each prepared by pairs of the summer's GFD fellows. Following the principal lecture notes are the written reports of the fellows' own research projects.

  • Release : 2012-03-05
  • ISBN : 1107079993
  • Pages : 445 pages

Download or read book Buoyancy Driven Flows written by Eric P. Chassignet and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-05 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buoyancy is one of the main forces driving flows on our planet, especially in the oceans and atmosphere. These flows range from buoyant coastal currents to dense overflows in the ocean, and from avalanches to volcanic pyroclastic flows on the Earth's surface. This book brings together contributions by leading world scientists to summarize our present theoretical, observational, experimental and modeling understanding of buoyancy-driven flows. Buoyancy-driven currents play a key role in the global ocean circulation and in climate variability through their impact on deep-water formation. Buoyancy-driven currents are also primarily responsible for the redistribution of fresh water throughout the world's oceans. This book is an invaluable resource for advanced students and researchers in oceanography, geophysical fluid dynamics, atmospheric science and the wider Earth sciences who need a state-of-the-art reference on buoyancy-driven flows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on topics in the entire spectrum of fire safety science, targeting research in fires, explosions, combustion science, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, risk analysis, structural engineering, and other subjects. The book contributes to a gain in advanced scientific knowledge and presents or advances new ideas in all topics in fire safety science. Two decades ago, the 1st Asia-Oceania Symposium on Fire Science and Technology was held in Hefei, China. Since then, the Asia-Oceania Symposia have grown in size and quality. This book, reflecting that growth, helps readers to understand fire safety technology, design, and methodology in diverse areas including historical buildings, photovoltaic panels, batteries, and electric vehicles.

Book Turbulent Jets and Plumes

    Book Details:
  • Author : Joseph Hun-wei Lee
  • Publisher : Springer Science & Business Media
  • Release : 2012-12-06
  • ISBN : 1461504074
  • Pages : 391 pages

Download or read book Turbulent Jets and Plumes written by Joseph Hun-wei Lee and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jets and plumes are shear flows produced by momentum and buoyancy forces. Examples include smokestack emissions, fires and volcano eruptions, deep sea vents, thermals, sewage discharges, thermal effluents from power stations, and ocean dumping of sludge. Knowledge of turbulent mixing by jets and plumes is important for environmental control, impact and risk assessment. Turbulent Jets and Plumes introduces the fundamental concepts and develops a Lagrangian approach to model these shear flows. This theme persists throughout the text, starting from simple cases and building towards the practically important case of a turbulent buoyant jet in a density-stratified crossflow. Basic ideas are illustrated by ample use of flow visualization using the laser-induced fluorescence technique. The text includes many illustrative worked examples, comparisons of model predictions with laboratory and field data, and classroom tested problems. An interactive PC-based virtual-reality modelling software (VISJET) is also provided. Engineering and science students, researchers and practitioners may use the book both as an introduction to the subject and as a reference in hydraulics and environmental fluid mechanics.
