    Notes: The steady fluid flow that is initiated by a cascade of cylinders, which oscillates harmonically in an unbounded, incompressible, viscous fluid that is otherwise at rest, is investigated, both numerically and experimentally. Finite-difference techniques are used to obtain the numerical solutions, and the streaming flow results show a reasonable agreement with the experimental data. It is found, both numerically and experimentally, that for large values of the streaming Reynolds number, Rs, the flow is not symmetrical about the axis of the oscillation, i.e., there exists a critical value of Rs, Rs0 say, such that the streaming flows for Rs(approximately-greater-than)Rs0 are unstable and those for Rs〈Rs0 are stable. In order to understand this asymmetry, a stability analysis is performed, and the agreement between the theory and the experimental results is encouraging.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Eine Untersuchung über freie Konvektionsströmung in einer rechtwinkligen Ecke, die aus einer horizontalen und vertikalen, halbunendlichen Platte gebildet wird, wurde für ziemlich hohe Werte der Grashofzahl mit der asymptotisch, erwartungstreuen Schätzung durchgeführt. Bei der vertikalen Platte wird die Umgebungstemperatur konstant gehalten und die Horizontale Platte steht unter gleichmäßigem Wärmefluß. Für die Geschwindigkeits-und Temperaturfelder sind gleich gute Verbesserungen höherer Ordnung gefunden worden, wie für die Wärmeübertragung und den Oberflächenreibungskoeffizient. Die gegenseitige Beeinflussung der beiden Grenzschichten, die sich auf der horizontalen und vertikalen Platte bilden, entstand durch eine isotherme Außenströmung. Eigenwerte und ihre darauf bezogenen Eigenfunktionen, die mit der Expansion verbunden sind, wurden ermittelt. Wir sind in der Lage, die Lösung durch eine Approximation hoher Ordnung zu ersetzen und dadurch eine einzige Eigenlösung zu finden. Die numerischen Ergebnisse sind für weite Bereiche der Prandtlzahl, σ erhalten worden. Dargestellt wurden jedoch nur die für σ=0,72 (Luft) und 6,7 (Wasser). Es wurde herausgefunden, daß die Verbesserungen höherer Ordnung für die klassische Grenzschichttheorie sehr bedeutend sind, besonders für die Grashofzahlen der Ordnung 109.
    Notes: Abstract A study of natural convection flow in a right angled corner formed by a semi-infinite vertical plate, which is maintained at the ambient temperature, and a semi-infinite horizontal plate, which is prescribed with a uniform heat flux, is carried out for moderately large values of the Grashof number by the method of matched asymptotic expansions. Higher-order corrections are found for the velocity and temperature fields as well as for the heat transfer and skin friction coefficients. The interaction between the two boundary-layers, which form on the vertical and horizontal plates, takes place through an isothermal outer flow. Eigenvalues and their corresponding eigenfunctions which are associated with the inner expansions have been sought. We are able to continue the solution up to the contribution played by the first eigenvalue and to uniquely find the first eigensolution. Numerical results have been obtained for a wide range of values of the Prandtl number, σ, but the results are only presented for σ=0.72 (air) and 6.7 (water). It is found that higher-order corrections to the classical boundary-layer theory are quite significant even for Grashof numbers of order 109.

    Notes: Summary Fluid flow induced by a harmonically oscillating cascade of normal flat plates and square cylinders has been investigated. We assume that the amplitude of the oscillation is small in comparison with the typical length of the body and that the Reynolds number, based on the typical length and speed being the size of the body and the frequency of the oscillation, respectively, is small. First-order solutions have been obtained using both a numerical technique and the series truncation method and the results from these two methods show good agreement. The streaming flow induced by the oscillation has also been investigated by solving the set of coupled perturbation equations numerically.

    Notes: Summary Numerical solutions are presented for the problem of steady laminar combined convection flows in vertical parallel-plate ducts, with linearly varying wall temperatures. Neglecting streamwise diffusion in the analysis leads to a parabolic set of governing equations. These are solved using a marching technique for an implicit finite-difference scheme with vorticity, streamfunction and temperature as variables. A constant wall temperature is applied after a certain height to mimic downhole conditions in an oil well. Various values of the governing parameter,Gr, are considered, including the forced convection solution,Gr=0, whilstPr is set at a value of unity in order to present the numerical method. As |Gr| increases reverse flow regions appear and these are dealt with using a modification of the standard marching technique. Results are obtained in terms of velocity profiles, local Nusselt numbers, flow average temperatures and friction factors, with particular attention applied to the case where the wall temperature decreases with height.

    Notes: Abstract Flows induced by the small-amplitude and high frequency harmonic oscillations of a cascade of bodies in an unbounded fluid which is otherwise at rest are investigated theoretically. In the theoretical study we separate the flow into inner and outer regions. The flow in the inner region is governed by the Stokes boundary-layer equation. The first-order outer flow is governed by the potential solution which is found by using a conformai mapping technique. The second-order outer flow is governed by the full Navier-Stokes equation and the steady streaming flow has been obtained using a modified central-difference scheme for cascades with square cylinders and flat plates for values of the streaming Reynolds number,R s , up to 70. These results show a complicated flow structure.

    Notes: Abstract The motion of a two-dimensional bubble which is moving between two parallel plates under the influence of a constant pressure has been investigated using the Boundary Element Method. A free surface location algorithm has been developed so that the profile of the bubble may be predicted over a large range of values of the surface tension. The numerically predicted results are compared with existing experimental data and the results are encouraging.

    Notes: Abstract A vorticity/stream function formulation is used to obtain a numerical simulation of steady two-dimensional flow of a viscous incompressible fluid past a normal flat plate for a range of Reynolds numbers. A method of Fornberg [J. Fluid Mech. 98, 819 (1980)] is used to determine upstream and downstream boundary conditions on the stream function. Special care is taken in the neighbourhood of the singularities in vorticity at the plate edges and this is very important because any errors introduced are swept downstream and severely affect such quantities as the length and width of the attached eddies. The computed results are compared with those of a laboratory experiment in which a plane strip is drawn through water and ethylene glycol for the range of Reynolds numbers for which the experimental flow is stable.

    Notes: Abstract Viscous dissipation effects in the problem of a fully-developed combined free and forced convection flow between two symmetrically and asymmetrically heated vertical parallel walls filled with a porous medium is analyzed. The equation of motion contains the modified Rayleigh number for a porous medium and the small-order viscous dissipation parameter. Particular attention is given to the solutions near the critical Rayleigh numbers at which infinite flow rates are predicted. Information concerning the multiplicity of solutions at critical Rayleigh numbers is also deduced from perturbation solutions of the governing equation.

    Notes: Summary The separating flow of an inviscid fluid is not only a limit solution of the steady separating, laminar fluid flow at high values of the Reynolds number but it is also part of its structure (Smith [1], [2]). This work aims at reexamining the separating flow of inviscid fluid past a bluff body which is fixed in an otherwise uniform stream of fluid. For the purpose of this paper we will assume that the bluff body is a circular cylinder but the theory is applicable to bodies of any shape. It is further assumed that the fluid is in steady two-dimensional motion and is inviscid and of constant density. The flow structure is assumed to consist of a separated flow region, caviting flows in which there exists a free surface on which the pressure is constant, and a wake. A twin spiral vortex model is used in order to determine the shape of the free streamline. Based on the free streamline theory the problem reduces to solving a mixed boundary value problem and a Hilbert solution for the inverse problem in the auxiliary plane is obtained. When we consider the flow in the physical plane the problem is transformed into a direct problem in which the geometry of the solid body is given in advance. We assume that the separation is smooth and thus the curvature of the free streamline at the point of free detachment be equal to that of the body surface. A numerical method for solving the two-dimensional potential flows past arbitrarily shaped curved bluff bodies is developed. When the cavitation number is zero the angle of separation is approximately 55° and the computed results predict that the position of the separation point will move backward as the cavition number increases. The relationships between the drag coefficient, and the width and length of the cavity is determined and is found to be in very good agreement with the predictions of Smith [1].

    Notes: The purpose of this research is to consider the flow through a cascade of bluff bodies, behind which there exist cavities, by using the free streamline theory. When the wake extends to infinity, both the free surface and the velocity on the free surface are unknown and the cavitation number cannot be specified arbitrarily. Given the geometry of the cascade, a numerical method is described in which we obtain the shape of the free surface and the cavitation number. We obtain the relationship between the contraction coefficient, cavitation number and drag coefficient.
