Book Hydrodynamic stability theory

Download or read book Hydrodynamic stability theory written by A. Georgescu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great number of varied approaches to hydrodynamic stability theory appear as a bulk of results whose classification and discussion are well-known in the literature. Several books deal with one aspect of this theory alone (e.g. the linear case, the influence of temperature and magnetic field, large classes of globally stable fluid motions etc.). The aim of this book is to provide a complete mathe matical treatment of hydrodynamic stability theory by combining the early results of engineers and applied mathematicians with the recent achievements of pure mathematicians. In order to ensure a more operational frame to this theory I have briefly outlined the main results concerning the stability of the simplest types of flow. I have attempted several definitions of the stability of fluid flows with due consideration of the connections between them. On the other hand, as the large number of initial and boundary value problems in hydrodynamic stability theory requires appropriate treat ments, most of this book is devoted to the main concepts and methods used in hydrodynamic stability theory. Open problems are expressed in both mathematical and physical terms.

Book Stability of Fluid Motions II

Download or read book Stability of Fluid Motions II written by D. D. Joseph and published by Springer. This book was released on 1976-09 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of stability aims at understanding the abrupt changes which are observed in fluid motions as the external parameters are varied. It is a demanding study, far from full grown, whose most interesting conclusions are recent. I have written a detailed account of those parts of the recent theory which I regard as established. Acknowledgements I started writing this book in 1967 at the invitation of Clifford Truesdell. It was to be a short work on the energy theory of stability and if I had stuck to that I would have finished the writing many years ago. The theory of stability has developed so rapidly since 1967 that the book I might then have written would now have a much too limited scope. I am grateful to Truesdell, not so much for the invitation to spend endless hours of writing and erasing, but for the generous way he has supported my efforts and encouraged me to higher standards of good work. I have tried to follow Truesdell's advice to write this work in a clear and uncomplicated style. This is not easy advice for a former sociologist to follow; if I have failed it is not due to a lack of urging by him or trying by me. My research during the years 1969-1970 was supported in part by a grant from the Guggenheim foundation to study in London.

Download or read book Hydrodynamic Stability written by P. G. Drazin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-08-05 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydrodynamic stability is of fundamental importance in fluid mechanics and is concerned with the problem of transition from laminar to turbulent flow. Drazin and Reid emphasise throughout the ideas involved, the physical mechanisms, the methods used, and the results obtained, and, wherever possible, relate the theory to both experimental and numerical results. A distinctive feature of the book is the large number of problems it contains. These problems not only provide exercises for students but also provide many additional results in a concise form. This new edition of this celebrated introduction differs principally by the inclusion of detailed solutions for those exercises, and by the addition of a Foreword by Professor J. W. Miles.

Book Stability of Flows of Thermo viscoelastic Fluids Between Rotating Coaxial Circular Cylinders

Download or read book Stability of Flows of Thermo viscoelastic Fluids Between Rotating Coaxial Circular Cylinders written by Nabil Nassib Ghandour and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We investigate in this thesis, the problem of stability of thermo-viscoelastic fluid flow between rotating coaxial cylinders. By using the thermo-viscoelastic constitutive equations given by Eringen, we reduce the equations of motion into a form suitable for stability analysis. The course of reduction which we follow yields some interesting intermediate results. The solution for the steady state couette flow problem is found. Interestingly enough, the velocity field for this problem is found to be identical with the classical viscous case and the case of a Reiner-Rivlin fluid, but the temperature and pressure fields are different. The non-dimensional forms of the equations of motion governing the couette flow of thermo-viscoelastic fluids in a heat reservoir are given. These equations are reduced further by considering a small gap between the cylinders and by imposing some physically reasonable mechanical and geometrical restrictions on the flow. This results in a secular equation which forms a characteristic value problem. The solution of the characteristic value problem has been obtained and this yields a criterion for stability in terms of a critical Taylor number. In general, the critical values of Taylor numbers are found to be higher than corresponding ones in classical hydrodynamic stability problems, which implies that thermo-viscoelastic fluids are more stable, in a couette flow, than classical viscous fluids under a similar situation. Comparing this result with existing investigations in non- Newtonian fluids we find that, like Bingham fluids, thermoviscoelastic fluids are more stable than viscous and Reiner-Rivlin fluids.

Book Theory and Computation of Hydrodynamic Stability

Download or read book Theory and Computation of Hydrodynamic Stability written by W. O. Criminale and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-10-23 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of hydrodynamic stability is fundamental to many subjects, ranging from geophysics and meteorology through to engineering design. This treatise covers both classical and modern aspects of the subject, systematically developing it from the simplest physical problems, then progressing chapter by chapter to the most complex, considering linear and nonlinear situations, and analysing temporal and spatial stability. The authors examine each problem both analytically and numerically: many chapters end with an appendix outlining relevant numerical techniques. All relevant fluid flows are treated, including those where the fluid may be compressible, or those from geophysics, or those that require salient geometries for description. Details of initial-value problems are explored equally with those of stability. As a result, the early transient period as well as the asymptotic fate for perturbations for a flow can be assessed. The text is enriched with many exercises, copious illustrations and an extensive bibliography and the result is a book that can be used with courses on hydrodynamic stability or as an authoritative reference for researchers.
