The convection during NaClO3 crystal growth observed by the phase shift interferometer

An optical diagnostic system consisting of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer with the phase shift device and an image processor has been developed for the study of the kinetics of the crystal growing process. The dissolution and crystallization process of NaClO3 crystal has been investigated. The concentration distributions around a growing and dissolving crystal have been obtained by using phase-shift of four-steps theory for the interpretation of the interferograms. The convection (a plume flow) has been visualized and analyzed in the process of the crystal growth. The experiment demonstrates that the buoyancy convection dominates the growth rate of the crystal growing face on the ground-based experiment.

迎风紧致格式求解Hamilton-Jacobi方程

基于Hamilton-Jaeobi(H-J)方程和双曲型守恒律之间的关系,将三阶和五阶迎风紧致格式推广应用于求解H-J方程,建立了高精度的H-J方程求解方法.给出了一维和二维典型数值算例的计算结果,其中包括一个平面激波作用下的Richtmyer-Meshkov界面不稳定性问题.数值试验表明,在解的光滑区域该方法具有高精度,而在导数不连续的不光滑区域也获得了比较好的分辨效果.相比于同阶精度的WENO格式,本方法具有更小的数值耗散,从而有利于多尺度复杂流动的模拟中H-J方程的求解.
