    Effect of depth discontinuity on interfacial stability of tangential-velocity discontinuity in shallow-water flow (2022)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-08-09
    Description: It is well known as the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) that an interface of tangential velocity discontinuity is necessarily unstable, regardless of the velocity difference's strength. However, the KHI is suppressed for shallow water flows if the Froude number, defined by the ratio of the velocity difference to the gravity wave's speed, is sufficiently large. In this investigation, we examine the effect of the depth difference of two fluid layers on the KHI. The depth difference enhances instability. Given the Froude number in the instability range, the growth rate sensitively depends on the depth ratio and increases monotonically with the depth ratio difference from unity. The critical value of the Froude number for stabilization varies with the depth ratio and attains the minimum value √8 for equal depth. This behavior is verified by asymptotic analysis.

    Optimal discrete pipe sizing for tree-shaped CO2 networks (2022)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-12-20
    Description: While energy-intensive industries like the steel industry plan to switch to renewable energy sources, other industries, such as the cement industry, have to rely on carbon capture storage and utilization technologies to reduce the inevitable carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of their production processes. In this context, we investigate the problem of finding optimal pipeline diameters from a discrete set of diameters for a tree-shaped network transporting captured CO2 from multiple sources to a single sink. The general problem of optimizing arc capacities in potential-based fluid networks is a challenging mixed-integer nonlinear program. Additionally, the behaviour of CO2 is highly sensitive and nonlinear regarding temperature and pressure changes. We propose an iterative algorithm splitting the problem into two parts: a) the pipe-sizing problem under a fixed supply scenario and temperature distribution and b) the thermophysical modelling including mixing effects, the Joule-Thomson effect, and heat exchange with the surrounding environment. We show the effectiveness of our approach by applying our algorithm to a real-world network planning problem for a CO2 network in Western Germany.

    Numerical simulation of tidal flow in Danang Bay Based on non-hydrostatic shallow water equations (2016)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-11
    Description: This paper presents a numerical simulation of the tidal flow in Danang Bay (Vietnam) based on the non-hydrostatic shallow water equations. First, to test the simulation capability of the non-hydrostatic model, we have made a test simulation comparing it with the experiment by Beji and Battjes 1993. Simulation results for this case are compared with both the experimental data and calculations obtained from the traditional hydrostatic model. It is shown that the non-hydrostatic model is better than the hydrostatic model when the seabed topography variation is complex. The usefulness of the non-hydrostatic model is father shown by successfully simulating the tidal flow of Danang Bay.

    Predicting Fluid Interface Instability in Energy Systems for Sustainable Energy Transition (2023)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-01-24
    Description: Due to the coexistence of different gases in underground storage, this work explores the interface stability's impact on energy storage, specifically during the injection and withdrawal of gases such as hydrogen and natural gas. A new approach of combing simulation and time series analysis is used to accurately predict instability modes in energy systems. Our simulation is based on the 2D Euler equations, solved using a second-order finite volume method with a staggered grid. The solution is validated by comparing them to experimental data and analytical solutions, accurately predicting the instability's behavior. We use time series analysis and state-of-the-art regime-switching methods to identify critical features of the interface dynamics, providing crucial insights into system optimization and design.

    Frictional effect on stability of discontinuity interface in tangential velocity of a shallow-water flow (2019)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-26
    Description: We examine a frictional effect on the linear stability of an interface of discontinuity in tangential velocity. The fluid is moving with uniform velocity U in a region but is at rest in the other, and the bottom surface is assumed to exert drag force, quadratic in velocity, on the thin fluid layer. In the absence of the drag, the instability of the Kelvin-Helmholtz type is suppressed for U〉√8 c, with c being the propagating speed of the gravity wave. We find by asymptotic analyses for both small and large values of the drag strength that the drag, regardless of its strength, makes the flow unstable for the whole range of the Froude number U/c.

    Linear stability of a simple shear layer between two parallel streams in a shallow water flow (2024)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-26
    Description: The stability of shear layers in fluid flows is a crucial factor in forming vortices and jets and plays a fundamental role in the development of turbulence. Such shear layer instabilities are ubiquitous in natural phenomena, such as atmospheric and oceanic flows, contributing to the formation of weather systems and predicting tsunamis. This study specifically focuses on the stability of a shear layer sandwiched between two semi-infinite layers within a two-dimensional flow. The velocity profile of the shear layer is assumed to be linearly dependent on the vertical coordinate, while the velocity of the other layers remains uniform with differing strengths. The effect of viscosity and surface tension is ignored to simplify the analysis. The shallow water equations are used to analyze the interface stability of the shear layer, and the resulting dispersion relation between wave frequency and other wave characteristics is obtained. This relation incorporates Whittaker functions and their first derivatives and is used to derive appropriate limits corresponding to various physical conditions. Our study thus contributes to a deeper understanding of the stability of shear layers and their implications for natural phenomena.

    Effect of inertia force on the interface stability of a tangential-velocity discontinuity in porous media (2023)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-26
    Description: The present study investigates the stability of a tangential-velocity discontinuity in porous media during the withdrawing and injecting processes of natural gases from and into an underground gas storage. The focus is placed on analyzing the impact of inertia forces on the interface stability using the Forchheimer equations. Other publications have relied primarily on Darcy's law to describe flow stability in porous media. However, Darcy's law only adequately describes flows in which viscous forces dominate over inertia forces. As the flow rate increases, the significance of inertia forces becomes more pronounced, and Darcy's law becomes insufficient for considering such flows. Our findings indicate that even a slight consideration of the inertia effect leads to permanent destabilization of the discontinuity interface, regardless of the fluid viscosity or the Mach number. In contrast, when the inertia effect is neglected, the interface is stabilized across the entire Mach number range if the fluid viscosity is strong enough.

    Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in a shallow-water flow with a finite width (2019)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-26
    Description: We examine an effect of side walls on the linear stability of an interface of tangential-velocity discontinuity in shallow-water flow. The flow is pure horizontal in the plane xy, and the fluid is bounded in a finite width 2d in the y− direction. In region 0 〈 y 〈 d, the fluid is moving with uniform velocity U but is at rest for −d 〈 y 〈 0. Without side walls, the flow is unstable for a velocity difference U〈√8c U 〈 √8 c, with c being the velocity of gravity waves. In this work, we show that if the velocity difference U is smaller than 2c, the interface is always destabilized, also known as the flow is unstable. The unstable region of an infinite width model is shrunken by the effects of side walls in the case of narrow width, while there is no range for the Froude number for stabilization in the case of large width. These results play an important role in predicting the wave propagations and have a wide application in the fields of industry. As a result of the interaction of waves and the mean flow boundary, the flow is unstable, which is caused by a decrease in the kinetic energy of disturbance.

    Viscosity and porosity effects on tangential-discontinuity surface stability in 3D Compressible Media (2022)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-26
    Description: The stability of a flow in porous media relates to the velocity rate of injecting and withdrawing natural gases inside porous storage. We thus aim to analyze the stability of flows in porous media to accelerate the energy transition process. This research examines a flow model of a tangential--velocity discontinuity with porosity and viscosity changes in a three-dimensional (3D) compressible medium because of a co-existence of different gases in a storage. The fluids are assumed to move in a relative motion where the plane y=0 is a tangential-velocity discontinuity surface. We obtain that the critical value of the Mach number to stabilize a tangential discontinuity surface of flows via porous media is smaller than the one of flows in a plane. The critical value of the Mach number M to stabilize a discontinuity surface of the 3D flow is different by a factor |cosθ| compared to the two-dimensional (2D) flow. Here, θ is the angle between velocity and wavenumber vectors. Our results also show that the flow model with viscosity and porosity effects is stable faster than those without these terms. Our analysis is done for both infinite and finite flows. The effect of solid walls along the flow direction could suppress the instability, i.e., the tangential-discontinuity surface is stabilized faster

    Interface stability of compressible fluids in porous media (2021)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-26
    Description: The stability of flows in porous media plays a vital role in transiting energy supply from natural gas to hydrogen, especially for estimating the usability of existing underground gas storage infrastructures. Thus, this research aims to analyze the interface stability of the tangential-velocity discontinuity between two compressible gases by using Darcy's model to include the porosity effect. The results shown in this research will be a basis for considering whether underground gas storages in porous material can be used to store hydrogen. We show the relation between the Mach number M, the viscosity \mu, and the porosity \epsilon on the stability of the interface. This interface stability affects gases' withdrawal and injection processes, thus will help us to determine the velocity which with gas can be extracted and injected into the storage effectively. By imposing solid walls along the flow direction, the critical values of these parameters regarding the stability of the interface are smaller than when considering no walls. The consideration of bounded flows approaches the problem more realistically. In particular, this analysis plays a vital role when considering two-dimensional gas flows in storages and pipes.
