    Notes: Turbulence structure in an open-channel flow with a zero-shear gas–liquid interface was numerically investigated by a three-dimensional direct numerical simulation (DNS) based on a fifth-order finite-difference formulation, and the relationship between scalar transfer across a zero-shear gas–liquid interface and organized motion near the interface was discussed. The numerical predictions of turbulence quantities were also compared with the measurements by means of a two-color laser Doppler velocimeter. The results by the DNS show that the vertical motion is restrained in the interfacial region and there the turbulence energy is redistributed from the vertical direction to the streamwise and spanwise directions through the pressure fluctuation. The large-scale eddies are generated by bursting phenomena in the wall region and they are lifted up toward the interfacial region. Then, the eddies renew the interface and promote the scalar transfer across the gas–liquid interface. Both the damping effect and the generation process of the surface-renewal motions predicted by the DNS explain well the experimental results deduced in previously published studies. Furthermore, the predicted bursting frequency and mass transfer coefficient are in good agreement with the measurements.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper, the nonreflecting boundary conditions based upon fundamental ideas of the linear analysis are developed for gas dynamic equations, and the modified boundary conditions for Navier-Stokes equations are proposed as a substitute of the nonreflecting boundary conditions inside boundary layers near rigid walls. These derived boundary conditions are then applied to calculations both for the Euler equations and the Navier-Stokes equations to determine if they can produce acceptable results for the subsonic flows in channels. The numerical results obtained by an implicit second-order upwind difference scheme show the effectiveness and generality of the boundary conditions. Furthermore, the formulae and the analysis performed here may be extended to three dimensional problems.

    Notes: Abstract A high-resolution, finite-difference numerical study is carried out of three-dimensional unsteady periodic natural convection of air in a cubical enclosure at the Rayleigh number of 8.5×106. The enclosure is subjected to differential heating at the two vertical side walls. The other vertical walls are insulated. A linear temperature profile is specified at the thermally-conducting horizontal walls. Flow details in the three-dimensional field are captured by elaborate post-processing of the computational results, for which the state-of-the-art numerical visualization techniques are utilized. The three-dimensionality of the mean flow fields is observed to be confined into narrow regions near the end walls. The time-dependent solutions clearly indicate the periodic nature of the flow. The oscillation frequency is in close agreement with the previous experimental measurements reported in the literature.

    Notes: A high-resolution, finite difference numerical study is reported on three-dimensional natural convection of air in a differentially heated cubical enclosure over an extensive range of Rayleigh number from 103 to 1010. The maximum number of grid points is 122 × 62 × 62. Solutions to the primitive variable formulation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes and energy equations are acquired by a control-volume-based procedure together with a higher-order upwind-differencing technique. The field characteristics at large-time limits are examined in detail by state-of-the-art numerical visualizations of the three-dimensional results. The emergence of the well-defined boundary layers and the interior core at high Rayleigh numbers is captured by elaborate numerical visualizations. Both the similarities and discrepancies between the three- and two-dimensional computations are pointed out. These emphasize the need for three-dimensional calculations to accurately determine the flow characteristics and heat transfer properties in realistic, high-Rayleigh-number situations.
