This book was released on 2018-06-24 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pulsed flow emitted from a shrouded Hartmann-Sprenger tube was sampled with high-frequency pressure transducers and with laser particle imaging velocimetry, and found to consist of a train of vortices. Thrust and mass flow were also monitored using a thrust plate and orifice, respectively. The tube and shroud lengths were altered to give four different operating frequencies. From the data, the radius, velocity, and circulation of the vortex rings was obtained. Each frequency corresponded to a different length to diameter ratio of the pulse of air leaving the driver shroud. Two of the frequencies had length to diameter ratios below the formation number, and two above. The formation number is the value of length to diameter ratio below which the pulse converts to a vortex ring only, and above which the pulse becomes a vortex ring plus a trailing jet. A modified version of the slug model of vortex ring formation was used to compare the observations with calculated values. Because the flow exit area is an annulus, vorticity is shed at both the inner and outer edge of the jet. This results in a reduced circulation compared with the value calculated from slug theory accounting only for the outer edge. If the value of circulation obtained from laser particle imaging velocimetry is used in the slug model calculation of vortex ring velocity, the agreement is quite good. The vortex ring radius, which does not depend on the circulation, agrees well with predictions from the slug model. DeLoof, Richard L.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vortex flow is one of the fundamental types of fluid and gas motion. These flows are the most spectacular in the form of concentrated vortices, characterized by the localization of vorticity (curl of velocity) in bounded regions of a space, beyond which the vorticity is either absent or rapidly falls down to zero. Concentrated vortices are often observed in nature, exemplified by atmospheric cyclones, whirlwinds and tornados, oceanic vortices, whirlpools on a water s- face, and ring vortices caused by explosive outburst of volcanoes. In technical - vices concentrated vortices form when flow separates from sharp edges of flying vehicles and ships. Among these are vortices flowing off the ends of airplane wings, and intentionally generated vortices for intensification of burning in c- bustion chambers, vortices in cyclonic devices used for mixing or separation of impurities in fluids and gases. One such remarkable and frequent type of conc- trated vortices is a vortex ring which constitutes a vortex tube closed into a t- oidal ring moving in a surrounding fluid like an isolated body out of contact with solid boundaries of the flow region if such boundaries exist. Formation and motion of vortex rings are important part of the dynamics of a continuum medium and have been studied for more than a century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this dissertation, the formation of vortex rings at the edge of orifices, as opposed to the well-studied nozzle geometry, is experimentally and theoretically investigated using time-resolved planar particle image velocimetry. This thesis builds upon the groundwork of Gharib et al. (1998) on optimal vortex formation and the general study of non-parallel starting jets initiated by Krieg & Mohseni (2013a).The orifice apparatus can be used to model complex geometries observed in nature, such as heart valves or squids' funnel, and constitutes the main equipment to produce synthetic jets and pulsed jets, which can be used for flow control, unsteady heat and mass transfer or thrust generation. Krieg & Mohseni (2013a) studied orifice starting jets and found that this apparatus produces more circulation, hydrodynamic impulse and kinetic energy than the equivalent nozzle geometry. The specific initial boundary conditions of the orifice geometry, namely the non-zero radial velocity at the exhaust, were shown to be responsible for the increased production of the invariants of the motion. Nevertheless, the ring quantities were not measured, as well as the "formation number", as originally defined by Gharib et al. (1998).An objective of the study is therefore to investigate the influence of initial conditions on the formation process of vortex rings and test the validity of the supposedly universal time scale that is the formation number. In particular, it is found that the sharp edge of the orifice destabilises the flow, forming a train of discrete vortices, as opposed to the continuous feeding shear layer observed in the case of nozzles. As such, it is shown that orifice-generated vortex rings do not reach their maximum circulation state at the same instant, and location, as their maximum impulse and energy states.Moreover, covering the exhaust of a tube with an orifice plate introduces an additional geometrical parameter, that is the orifice-to-tube diameter ratio. A parametric study is undertaken to assess the influence of this ratio on the production of the invariants of the motion, which are then related to vortex ring formation. Unsurprisingly, the classic slug-flow model is found to underestimate the rate of production of the invariants, and this for all orifice-to-tube diameter ratios, although in a lesser extent for the nozzle case. An extension to the model is proposed to account for the contraction the flow is experiencing when fluid is being pushed out through the orifice. The contraction coefficient found analytically by Von Mises (1917) for two-dimensional flows is applied to the present axisymmetric three-dimensional cases and the discrepancy with the measurements is reduced from a maximum of 130%, 50% and 120% to 10%, 10% and 25% for the circulation, the hydrodynamic impulse and the kinetic energy, respectivelyFinally, the critical non-dimensional numbers commonly used to characterise vortex ring formation are computed at the exhaust of the orifice geometry. Again, the classic slug-flow model is observed to poorly predict their evolution. It is shown that using the extended slug-flow model to redefine the non-dimensional time, usually referred as "formation time", allows one to collapse all cases, orifices and nozzle, onto a single curve. Hence, given the proposed scaling, a formation number of approximately 4 is found for straight nozzle, converging nozzle and orifice-generated vortex ringsIn conclusions, this thesis not only shows experimental evidence of the difference in the unsteady formation of vortex rings emanating from orifice geometries, but also provides a theoretical explanation and an analytical model which incorporates the unique physical phenomena of orifice starting jets and extends the well-accepted results of the literature, for instance the result of Gharib et al. (1998), to the formation of orifice-generated vortex rings"--

This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thrust augmentation of a set of ejectors driven by a shrouded Hartmann-Sprenger tube has been measured at four different frequencies. Each frequency corresponded to a different length to diameter ratio of the pulse of air leaving the driver shroud. Two of the frequencies had length to diameter ratios below the formation number, and two above. The formation number is the value of length to diameter ratio below which the pulse converts to a vortex ring only, and above which the pulse becomes a vortex ring plus a trailing jet. A three level, three parameter Box-Behnken statistical design of experiment scheme was performed at each frequency, measuring the thrust augmentation generated by the appropriate ejectors from the set. The three parameters were ejector length, radius, and inlet radius. The results showed that there is an optimum ejector radius and length at each frequency. Using a polynomial fit to the data, the results were interpolated to different ejector radii and pulse length to diameter ratios. This showed that a peak in thrust augmentation occurs when the pulse length to diameter ratio equals the formation number, and that the optimum ejector radius is 0.87 times the sum of the vortex ring radius and the core radius.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Himalayan mountain belt, which developed during the India–Asia collision starting about 55 Ma ago, is a dramatically active orogen and it is regarded as the classic collisional orogen. It is characterized by an impressively continuous 2500 km of tectonic units, thrusts and normal faults, as well as large volumes of high-grade metamorphic rocks and granites exposed at the surface. This constitutes an invaluable field laboratory, where amazing crustal sections can be observed directly in very deep gorges. It is possible to unravel the tectonic and metamorphic evolution of litho-units, to observe the mechanisms of exhumation of deep-seated rocks and the propagation of the deformation. Himalayan tectonics has been the target of many studies from numerous international researchers over the years. In the last 15 years there has been an explosion of data and theories from both geological and geophysical perspectives. This book presents the results of integrated multidisciplinary studies, including geology, petrology, magmatism, geochemistry, geochronology and geophysics, of the structures and processes affecting the continental lithosphere. These processes and their spatial and temporal evolution have major consequences on the geometry and kinematics of the India–Eurasia collision zone.
