This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 815 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The flow of gravity currents and intrusions is a subject of active research and engineering application. Currently, there are no formal teaching courses for this topic. Materials and information available in the market are scattered and dated. Researchers and engineers face difficulties in acquiring the 'state-of-the-art' knowledge. The book bridges this gap between the need and supply of the relevant insight and know-how.Written by a renowned author who is a recognized authority in the field, this unique compendium assembles the relevant knowledge into a systematic and unified framework. The presentation is gradual from the elementary to the frontier, and accessible to readers with only a basic background in fluid mechanics and applied mathematics. This will facilitate the systematic acquirement and application of available knowledge to both practical problems and further research.This must-have volume is a useful monograph — that can also serve as a textbook in advanced courses — for researchers, students, engineers and applied mathematicians in the fields of civil engineering, hydraulic engineering, mechanical engineering, ocean engineering and environmental engineering.

Download or read book Particulate Gravity Currents written by W. D. McCaffrey and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-03-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume arises from the conference Sediment Transport andDeposition by Particulate Gravity Currents held in the UK in 1998.The field of particulate gravity currents ranges from turbiditycurrents in the oceans, lakes and reservoirs to pyroclastic densitycurrents and avalanches, debris flows and lahars, grainflows,powder snow avalanches, effluent dispersal and ancient gravitycurrent deposits. Although the sub-division of particulate gravity currents intodiscrete sub-categories (such as grain flows, turbidity currents ordebris flows) provides a convenient descriptive shorthand, itundermines the sense of process continuum needed to describe manynatural flows. The structure of this volume reflects an integrativeaim, with papers grouped by research approach. The first section ofthe book contains six papers on theoretical and numerical modellingof a range of flow types. The following four papers are focusedupon combined theoretical and experimental modelling approaches.The next section contains four papers describing experimentalmodelling and the final section includes five papers detailingfield-based studies. The volume stands as a testament to the broad range of researchcarried out on particulate gravity currents, and hints at theenhanced rate of progress that is likely to be achieved throughfurther integrated studies.

Download or read book Initial boundary Value Problems and the Navier Stokes Equations written by Heinz-Otto Kreiss and published by SIAM. This book was released on 1989-01-01 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation This book provides an introduction to the vast subject of initial and initial-boundary value problems for PDEs, with an emphasis on applications to parabolic and hyperbolic systems. The Navier-Stokes equations for compressible and incompressible flows are taken as an example to illustrate the results. Researchers and graduate students in applied mathematics and engineering will find Initial-Boundary Value Problems and the Navier-Stokes Equations invaluable. The subjects addressed in the book, such as the well-posedness of initial-boundary value problems, are of frequent interest when PDEs are used in modeling or when they are solved numerically. The reader will learn what well-posedness or ill-posedness means and how it can be demonstrated for concrete problems. There are many new results, in particular on the Navier-Stokes equations. The direct approach to the subject still gives a valuable introduction to an important area of applied analysis.

Download or read book Investigation of Turbulent Boundary layer Structure Using Particle image Velocimetry written by Carl Daniel Meinhart and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Particle-image velocimetry (PIV) is used to measure instantaneous velocity fields in the streamwise wall-normal plane of a zero-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layer. In total, 340 PIV realizations of the boundary layer were obtained at Reynolds numbers based on momentum thickness of Ree = 930, 2370 and 6845. Each realization contains approximately 10000 two-component velocity vectors which are accurate to within 0.4 to 1.0% of the free-stream velocity. The PIV results are used to examine coherent structures throughout the boundary layer and determine their Reynolds-number dependencies. Coherent structures have been an important part of turbulent boundary-layer research for more than thirty years. By understanding coherent structures, their Reynolds-number dependencies and their dynamical characteristics, engineers and scientists will be better able to control and predict turbulent flows. A 20 m long low-turbulence boundary-layer research facility was developed for the measurement of turbulent boundary layers using particle-image velocimetry. Hot-film anemometer measurements show that the turbulence intensities at the test section inlet are about 0.16%, at a free-stream velocity of 6 m/s. A PIV interrogation and vector-validation system was developed to conduct the PIV measurements efficiently. The interrogation system utilizes eight i860 array processors in parallel to achieve a peak aggregate performance of 640 Mflops. Using 128 x 128 pixel cross correlations, it processes 100 vectors per second. Two-dimensional maps of in-plane velocity vectors, spanwise vorticity, Reynolds stress, and streamwise and wall-normal velocity contours show the instantaneous structures in the overlap and outer regions of the boundary layer. Details of large-scale motions protruding into the free stream are clearly shown in the outer region. The overlap region consists of shear layers oriented at 45$spcirc$ from the wall and are associated with transverse vortical elements, which are located above and slightly downstream of the shear layers. Comparisons between measured coherent structures and theories of Theodorsen, Townsend and Perry et al. are given. Two-dimensional spatial correlation functions of streamwise velocity, wall-normal velocity, spanwise vorticity and Reynolds stress are used to examine the statistically relevant structure of the boundary layer and its Reynolds-number dependency. Stochastic estimation is used to estimate conditional eddies throughout the boundary layer and reveal their Reynolds-number dependencies.
