    A refined droplet approach to the problem of homogeneous nucleation from the vapor phase (1991)

    Notes: A theory of homogeneous nucleation from the vapor phase is presented, which is based on an extension of Fisher's semiphenomenological droplet model for the Gibbs free energy of formation of a cluster. This droplet model allows translational, rotational, vibrational, and configurational degrees of freedom of the cluster as well as the variation of surface tension with cluster size. By suitable choice of the three free model parameters, known nucleation theories such as the classical Becker–Döring–Zeldovich theory and others are obtained as special cases. Since, however, an ansatz for the Gibbs free energy of formation allows the construction of an equation of state for real gases below the critical point, a new method of determining the model parameters is suggested, which is based on the idea of forcing the identity of the constructed equation of state with an experimentally verified one. Thus, all free model parameters can be determined purely from well-known handbook properties. It is shown that the new theory gives a better prediction of observed nucleation rates than the classical one.

    An electronic Cranz–Schardin camera (1991)

    Notes: An electronic high-speed multiple-image camera based on the Cranz–Schardin principle has been developed. High-power LEDs are used as a light source. Frames are recorded by a system of eight CCDs and an eight channel image processor enabling a series of eight subsequent images at full-frame (512× 512) resolution or more images (up to 80) at a lower resolution. The maximum framing frequency is 10 MHz. The advantages upon the classical spark illumination and photographic techniques are mainly the precise electronic control, the immediate access to the frames, the on-line image processing and the low cost of the system. Examples of gas- and two-phase flow visualization are presented.

    Notes: Abstract A semi-automatic technique is presented for obtaining the density field from interferograms provided by a Mach-Zehnder setup in infinite fringe width adjustment using short exposure times. The algorithm relies on extracting the fringe edges from the original image and then numbering the resulting polygons according to their order of interference using a graphical editor. The density field is then interpolated between the polygons by calculating its value from the intensity in the original interferogram. This results in highly accurate, high resolution scalar data fields. The results may then be presented in a quasi three-dimensional form using a shading model.

    Forced oscillations of airfoil flows (1996)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract The effect of background flow oscillations on a transonic airfoil (NACA 0012) flow was investigated experimentally. The oscillations were generated by means of a rotating plate placed downstream of the airfoil. Owing to the expansion and compression waves generated at the plate, the flow over the airfoil flow was drastically disturbed. This resulted in the presence of high intensity oscillations of a shock wave and a separation bubble on the suction surface of the airfoil. For relatively large values of the airfoil angle of attack, weak shock waves (transonic sound waves) were periodically shed upstream of the airfoil. This work was supported by Commission of the European Communities (Communit's Action for Cooperation in Science and Technology with Central and Eastern European Countries).

    Notes: Abstract A pulsed light generator for stroboscopic photography which makes use of LED's has been developed. The maximum light power which may be extracted from a single LED is approximately 1 Watt. The pulse repetition rate ranges up to 1 MHz and the length of the pulses is adjustable between 0.05 and 1 μs. The light emitted from the diodes is especially suited for the observation of phase objects by interferometric methods due to its pronounced coherence. Results of the electrical and optical performance of the generator are presented.

    The influence of kinematic waves on jet break down (1992)

    Notes: Abstract The breakdown of a liquid jet is commonly considered as an effect of the surface tension. However, essential aspects of the boundary wave amplification and the final disintegration of velocity modulated jets can be explained by non-linear travelling time effects, which are of purely kinematic nature. The experiments are carried out on jets with radii between 1.2 to 2.5 mm and Weber numbers between 17 to 200. The experimental results are compared with a theoretical solution which neglects the surface tension.

    Notes: Abstract Experimental investigations of Laval nozzle flow show for relatively low supply to exit pressure ratios, which correspond to shock wave positions close to the nozzle throat, three different, oscillatory instabilities. (i) Shock pattern oscillations where the root of a λ-like shock front remains nearly in constant position, but where the proportion between the normal part and the oblique part of the shock changes periodically. (ii) Shock wave and separation bubble oscillations where the motion of the shock wave is accompanied by displacements of the separation bubble. (iii) Flow rate oscillations where the shock waves leave periodically through the nozzle throat in upstream direction.

    Primary and secondary bifurcation in baroclinic instability (1990)

    Notes: Abstract In modelling atmospheric flows the baroclinic instability of the flow in a differentially heated rotating annulus plays a central role. This paper deals with an experimental study using LDV and flow visualization techniques. Usually the temperature difference, ΔT, was kept fixed while the angular velocity, ω, was varied. On crossing the stability boundary, the primary bifurcation, the basic flow gives way to a baroclinic wave flow. For a given annulus geometry the wave number, m, of the first wave pattern was found to be uniquely defined by ΔT. The measured critical values of ω, ω crit, agree reasonably well with those obtained by other authors. On increasing ω above ω crit the wave number changed, this process showing hysteresis. The situation might indicate secondary bifurcation phenomena. Flow visualization using aluminium particles shows surface flow details.

    Bluff-body drag reduction by passive ventilation (1993)

    Notes: Abstract The drag of a sphere at highRe can be reduced to more than half its value by passive ventilation from the stagnation region to the base. Simultaneously, the flow field around the base is stabilized and made symmetric, leading to reduction of unsteady aerodynamic forces. At highRe, the vent flow breaks through the dead water region associated with the near wake and aerodynamically streamlines the base. The streamlining is done by virtue of a base-vortex-ring beyond the point of turbulent boundary layer separation. A mean flow model for the flow around the vented sphere is proposed. Smoke flow visualized on a laser light screen placed at two diameters behind the base of the sphere shows the effectiveness of the method in suppressing the flow oscillations. The drag reduction achieved is very sensitive to the quality of the external surface and relatively insensitive to disturbances in the internal flow. Surface roughness or boundary layer tripping wire on the external flow can completely offset the benefit obtained.

    Notes: Abstract PIV-measurements of the flow above a pitching airfoil were conducted in a transonic wind tunnel. An ultra high-speed video camera was used for separate recording of two exposures. The data was analysed using the cross-correlation method. The results show the applicability of the technique in high speed flows.
