    Notes: The influence of the spacecraft's rotation on the convection in a nonuniformly heated fluid under microgravity conditions has been studied. This influence is determined by action of the buoyancy force generated by the resultant microacceleration vector and the inertia force related to variations in the angular rotational velocity of the spacecraft. It is shown that the solenoidal part of the resulting rotational force acting upon the nonuniformly heated fluid strongly depends on the angle between the temperature gradient at some point in the fluid and the radius vector of this point relative to the spacecraft's centroid. To minimize the influence of the spacecraft's rotation, it is necessary to make this angle close to zero. The thermal convection which could have arisen in a rectangular box with rigid walls under rotation of the Space Shuttle orbiter has been simulated numerically. It is shown that the intensity of this kind of convection may be rather appreciable. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract Unlike the conventional approach where it is assumed that liquid motion under conditions of weightlessness is caused by vibrations or residual quasisteady-state microaccelerations, the present paper examines convection caused by variations in the angular rotational velocity of a spacecraft. It is shown that although the level of microaccelerations caused by variations in the angular rotational velocity is extremely low for the Shuttle spacecraft, Mir space station, and unmanned spacecraft, of the order of 0.1–1 μg, the ensuing convection and nonuniformity in the impurity distribution during crystal growth may be very appreciable.

    Notes: Abstract The possible onset of unsteady induction magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows in wide channels or in channels of annular cross section is discovered on the basis of a proposed two-dimensional mathematical model. Such secondary flows have the character of rotating stall, which was previously known in high-pressure axial compressors. The existing experimental data confirm the possibility of observing this phenomenon, which can be interpreted as a new type of symmetry loss. It is shown for certain relations between the parameters that the system has a lower margin of stability against disturbances of the rotating-stall type than against steady-state disturbances. In particular, a loss of stability of a steady uniform flow can occur on the descending portion of the external characteristic of the machine.

    Notes: Abstract The causes for the onset of a specific operating regime of MHD induction devices which arises after a loss of stability of the uniform flow are investigated. A modification of the original method of studying singularly perturbed dynamical systems in the neighborhood of a bifurcation point is used to construct the asymptotic behavior of the characteristic pressure for various limiting cases.
