Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A numerical approach to solving the two-dimensional, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is presented and is used to study the stability and evolution of disturbance in a boundary layer. Previous numerical approaches have used streamfunction-vorticity formulations that take advantage of the special properties of two-dimensional flow. The present method solves a finite-difference form of the momentum equations and may therefore be extended to three-dimensions more readily. Computations using this technique are compared with the result of linear stability theory for small amplitude disturbances and are found to give satisfactory agreement, while calculations at large amplitude support the conjecture that non-linear effects can be destabilizing.

Download or read book Stability of Parallel Flows written by R. Betchov and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stability of Parallel Flows provides information pertinent to hydrodynamical stability. This book explores the stability problems that occur in various fields, including electronics, mechanics, oceanography, administration, economics, as well as naval and aeronautical engineering. Organized into two parts encompassing 10 chapters, this book starts with an overview of the general equations of a two-dimensional incompressible flow. This text then explores the stability of a laminar boundary layer and presents the equation of the inviscid approximation. Other chapters present the general equations governing an incompressible three-dimensional flow, which requires the massive use of a computer. This book discusses as well the experimental studies on the oscillations of the boundary layer wherein the mean flow is affected by the presence of oscillations. The final chapter describes the concept of the stability of turbulent flows found in boundary layers, wakes, and jets. This book is a valuable resource for physicists, mathematicians, engineers, scientists, and researchers.

Download or read book Stability and Transition in Shear Flows written by Peter J. Schmid and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed look at some of the more modern issues of hydrodynamic stability, including transient growth, eigenvalue spectra, secondary instability. It presents analytical results and numerical simulations, linear and selected nonlinear stability methods. By including classical results as well as recent developments in the field of hydrodynamic stability and transition, the book can be used as a textbook for an introductory, graduate-level course in stability theory or for a special-topics fluids course. It is equally of value as a reference for researchers in the field of hydrodynamic stability theory or with an interest in recent developments in fluid dynamics. Stability theory has seen a rapid development over the past decade, this book includes such new developments as direct numerical simulations of transition to turbulence and linear analysis based on the initial-value problem.
Download or read book On the Stability of Two Basic Parallel Flows written by Theodore Henry Gawain and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides a detailed technical outline and evaluation of research on the hydrodynamic stability of plane Poiseuille flow and of pipe Poiseuille flow. Each case involves significant discrepancies between the predictions of conventional theory and the results of actual experimental observations. In particular, the conventional theory fails completely to account for the well known instability of ordinary pipe flow. This report describes a more general theory which shows promise of overcoming the above limitations. The new theory involves a number of innovations in the formulation of some of the basic equations, in the formulation of certain boundary conditions, and in the formulation of the criterion of stability itself. The analytical work is essentially complete and preliminary calculations, while still of limited scope, appear to support the theory and are therefore quite encouraging.

Book excerpt: The Orr-Sommerfeld equation, which governs the stability of parallel flows, was solved by a numerical technique. Neutral stability curves were obtained for three different problems. The first problem is concerned with the effect of a flexible wall on the stability of the boundary layer on a flat plate. The second problem is concerned with the stability of magnetohydrodynamic channel flow with an aligned magnetic field. The last problem deals with the stability of Couette-Poiseuille flow. (Author).

Book excerpt: This book presents the new discovery of the origin of turbulence from Navier–Stokes equations. The fully developed turbulence is found to be composed of singularities of flow field. The mechanisms of flow stability and turbulent transition are described using the energy gradient theory, which states all the flow instability and breakdown resulted from the gradient of the total mechanical energy normal to the flow direction. This approach is universal for flow instability in Newtonian flow and non-Newtonian flow. The theory has been used to solve several problems, such as plane and pipe Poiseuille flows, plane Couette flow, Taylor–Couette flow, flows in straight coaxial annulus, flows in curved pipes and ducts, thermal convection flow, viscoelastic flow, and magnet fluid flow, etc. The theory is in agreement with results from numerical simulations and experiments. The analytical method used in this book is novel and is different from the traditional approaches. This book includes the fundamental basics of flow stability and turbulent transition, the essentials of the energy gradient theory, and the applications of the theory to several practical problems. This book is suitable for researchers and graduate students.
