Book Probl  me de stabilit   lin  aire et pr  vision de la transition dans des configurations tridimensionnelles  incompressibles et compressibles

Download or read book Probl me de stabilit lin aire et pr vision de la transition dans des configurations tridimensionnelles incompressibles et compressibles written by François Laburthe and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le travail présent concerne l'étude de la transition laminaire-turbulent dans la couche limite tridimensionnelle. Il comporte trois parties. La première est consacrée à une étude bibliographique qui fait une revue rapide de résultats connus concernant les phénomènes prenant place dans la couche limite. Cette étude est menée grâce à la théorie de stabilité linéaire. Des phénomènes transitionnels concernant les écoulements bi- et tridimensionnels sont donnés. La méthode du eN, qui permet une estimation de l'abscisse de transition, est ensuite présentée en détail. La deuxième partie consiste en l'analyse de trois problèmes: la stratégie d'optimisation de l'amplification, la stratégie d'intégration et la courbure. On s'est particulièrement attaché à l'étude du dernier problème. En effet, la prise en compte de la forme du profil d'aile ainsi que la déformation du repère modifient sensiblement les résultats. Le développement de méthodes liées à ces problèmes a ensuite été intégré dans un code de calcul qui est décrit en détail. Dans la dernière partie, on met en œuvre les outils développés précédemment en les appliquant à sept configurations. Cinq d'entre elles s'appuient sur des expériences réalisées dans diverses souffleries avec des écoulements qui vont de l'incompressible au supersonique. Les applications permettent de discuter la validité de certaines hypothèses et montrent les limitations de la méthode du eN.

Book Stabilit   lin  aire et faiblement non lin  aire d une couche limite pour un fluide incompressible avec l approche PSE

Download or read book Stabilit lin aire et faiblement non lin aire d une couche limite pour un fluide incompressible avec l approche PSE written by Marie-Laurence Copie and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette thèse est consacrée à l'étude de la stabilité d'une couche limite en fluide incompressible. On a considéré des écoulements bidimensionnels et le cas d'une couche limite se développant sur une aile en flèche. Nous avons utilisé le modèle PSE (Parabolized Stability Equations) proposé par Herbert. Ce modèle permet de s'affranchir de l'hypothèse d'écoulement parallèle nécessaire pour la théorie locale (Orr-Sommerfeld). Il permet en outre de prendre en compte des interactions non linéaires. Les codes développés, en bidimensionnel et en tridimensionnel, ont permis d'apporter des éclairages nouveaux sur les mécanismes d'instabilité : mécanismes de résonance en 2D (résonances subharmonique et fondamentale), effets non parallèles en 3D (effet déstabilisant de saturation des amplitudes), mécanismes non linéaires en 3D (phénomène de saturation des amplitudes). On a notamment analysé des résultats expérimentaux obtenus au Département. Ces résultats représentent une contribution au problème de la prévision de la transition naturelle ; toutefois, l'étude des mécanismes non linéaires en tridimensionnel doit être poursuivie. Cette étude doit également être complétée par des études de réceptivité.

Book Basics of Aerothermodynamics

Download or read book Basics of Aerothermodynamics written by Ernst Heinrich Hirschel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-01-16 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last two decades have brought two important developments for aeroth- modynamics. One is that airbreathing hypersonic flight became the topic of technology programmes and extended system studies. The other is the emergence and maturing of the discrete numerical methods of aerodyn- ics/aerothermodynamics complementary to the ground-simulation facilities, with the parallel enormous growth of computer power. Airbreathing hypersonic flight vehicles are, in contrast to aeroassisted re-entry vehicles, drag sensitive. They have, further, highly integrated lift and propulsion systems. This means that viscous eflFects, like boundary-layer development, laminar-turbulent transition, to a certain degree also strong interaction phenomena, are much more important for such vehicles than for re-entry vehicles. This holds also for the thermal state of the surface and thermal surface effects, concerning viscous and thermo-chemical phenomena (more important for re-entry vehicles) at and near the wall. The discrete numerical methods of aerodynamics/aerothermodynamics permit now - what was twenty years ago not imaginable - the simulation of high speed flows past real flight vehicle configurations with thermo-chemical and viscous effects, the description of the latter being still handicapped by in sufficient flow-physics models. The benefits of numerical simulation for flight vehicle design are enormous: much improved aerodynamic shape definition and optimization, provision of accurate and reliable aerodynamic data, and highly accurate determination of thermal and mechanical loads. Truly mul- disciplinary design and optimization methods regarding the layout of thermal protection systems, all kinds of aero-servoelasticity problems of the airframe, et cetera, begin now to emerge.

Book Convection in Porous Media

  • Publisher : Springer Science & Business Media
  • Release : 2013-11-11
  • ISBN : 1475721757
  • Pages : 418 pages

Download or read book Convection in Porous Media written by D.A. Nield and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book we have tried to provide a user-friendly introduction to the topic of convection in porous media. We have assumed that the reader is conversant with the basic elements of fluid mechanics and heat transfer, but otherwise the book is self-contained. Only routine classical mathematics is employed. We hope that the book will be useful both as a review (for reference) and as a tutorial work (suitable as a textbook in a graduate course or seminar). This book brings into perspective the voluminous research that has been performed during the last two decades. The field has recently exploded because of worldwide concern with issues such as energy self-sufficiency and pollution of the environment. Areas of application include the insulation of buildings and equipment, energy storage and recovery, geothermal reservoirs, nuclear waste disposal, chemical reactor engineering, and the storage of heat-generating materials such as grain and coal. Geophysical applications range from the flow of groundwater around hot intrusions to the stability of snow against avalanches.

Download or read book Solid Rocket Propulsion Technology written by A. Davenas and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 623 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, a translation of the French title Technologie des Propergols Solides, offers otherwise unavailable information on the subject of solid propellants and their use in rocket propulsion. The fundamentals of rocket propulsion are developed in chapter one and detailed descriptions of concepts are covered in the following chapters. Specific design methods and the theoretical physics underlying them are presented, and finally the industrial production of the propellant itself is explained. The material used in the book has been collected from different countries, as the development of this field has occurred separately due to the classified nature of the subject. Thus the reader not only has an overall picture of solid rocket propulsion technology but a comprehensive view of its different developmental permutations worldwide.

Book Advances in Transport Phenomena in Porous Media

Download or read book Advances in Transport Phenomena in Porous Media written by Jacob Bear and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1018 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the lectures presented at the NATO ADVANCED STUDY INSTITUTE that took place at Newark, Delaware, U. S. A. , July 14-23, 1985. The objective of this meeting was to present and discuss selected topics associated with transport phenomena in porous media. By their very nature, porous media and phenomena of transport of extensive quantities that take place in them, are very complex. The solid matrix may be rigid, or deformable (elastically, or following some other constitutive relation), the void space may be occupied by one or more fluid phases. Each fluid phase may be composed of more than one component, with the various components capable of interacting among themselves and/or with the solid matrix. The transport process may be isothermal or non-isothermal, with or without phase changes. Porous medium domains in which extensive quantities, such as mass of a fluid phase, component of a fluid phase, or heat of the porous medium as a whole, are being transported occur in the practice in a variety of disciplines.

Book Determinism  Holism  and Complexity

Download or read book Determinism Holism and Complexity written by Claudio Pellegrini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Determinism, holism and complexity: three epistemological attitudes that have easily identifiable historical origins and developments. Galileo believed that it was necessary to "prune the impediments" to extract the mathematical essence of physical phenomena, to identify the math ematical structures representing the underlying laws. This Galilean method was the key element in the development of Physics, with its extraordinary successes. Nevertheless the method was later criticized because it led to a view of nature as essentially "simple and orderly", and thus by choosing not to investigate several charac teristics considered as an "impediment", several essential aspects of the phenomenon under investigation might be left out. The Galilean point of view also contains an acknowledgement of the central role played by the causal nexus among phenomena. The mechanistic-deterministic de scription of reality - for instance, a la Laplace - although acknowledging that it is not possible to predict phenomena exactly owing to unavoid able measurement error, is based on the recognition of the their causal nature, even in an ontological sense. Consequently, deterministic predic tion became the methodological fulcrum of mathematical physics. But although mechanistic determinism has had and, in many cases, still has, considerable success in Physics, in other branches of science this situa tion is much less favourable.

Book Design of Axially Loaded Piles   European Practice

Download or read book Design of Axially Loaded Piles European Practice written by F. De Cock and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-12-18 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is unique on the subject because it is not so much a collection of individual work, but basically comprising national reports from most European countries on the present-day design methods, as prescribed in more or less strict national codes or recommendations and so daily used in practice by consulting engineers and contractors. As far as already implemented, the application of these methods within the framework of Eurocode 7 is described as well. In order to improve the understanding of the design methods, the national papers also consider aspects such as the local piling practice, limitations of the design methods, some practical examples and particular national experiences. The proceedings also include the contributions of two invited speakers as well as those of the three session discussion leaders, focusing on some particular aspects with regards to pile design. The book is of particular interest for those who are involved with pile design in practice, consulting engineers, piling contractors, control organisms as well as those dealing with geotechnical normalisation and research work.

  • Publisher : Springer Science & Business Media
  • Release : 2012-12-06
  • ISBN : 4431669515
  • Pages : 278 pages

Download or read book Computational Biomechanics written by Kozaburo Hayashi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combination of readily available computing power and progress in numerical techniques has made nonlinear systems - the kind that only a few years ago were ignored as too complex - open to analysis for the first time. Now realistic models of living systems incorporating the nonlinear variation and anisotropic nature of physical properties can be solved numerically on modern computers to give realistically usable results. This has opened up new and exciting possibilities for the fusing of ideas from physiology and engineering in the burgeoning new field that is biomechanics. Computational Biomechanics presents pioneering work focusing on the areas of orthopedic and circulatory mechanics, using experimental results to confirm or improve the relevant mathematical models and parameters. Together with two companion volumes, Biomechanics: Functional Adaptation and Remodeling and the Data Book on Mechanical Properties of Living Cells, Tissues, and Organs, this monograph will prove invaluable to those working in fields ranging from medical science and clinical medicine to biomedical engineering and applied mechanics.
