拟压缩性方法在非定常球形Couette-Taylor流模拟中的应用

本文以拟压缩性法和物理时间/伪时间双重时间推进,数值求解非定常不可压缩流N=S方程。拟压缩性项是对伪时间的导数项,在每一物理时间层,进行对伪时间的推进使拟压缩性项趋于零,从而使连续方程得到满足。用Lower-Upper Symmetric Gaus-—Seidel(LU-SGS)恪式求解离散所得的方程。针对前人LU-SGS格式未计及隐式物理粘性,在计算中低Re数流动时容易发散或造成收敛率低的问题,利用简化的隐式粘性项改善了格式的稳定性,并用三阶迎风紧致差分逼近无粘通量,提高了伪时间推进的收敛率。模拟了间隙比σ=0.18的两同心旋转球之间轴对称Couette-Taylor流的0-、1-和2-涡三种流态和它们之间的转变过程。

电磁激波管中电流面的Rayleigh-Taylor不稳定性

<正> 1.激波管中的流动 我们现在考虑如图1所示的电磁激波管。放电之后,有一个强激波向右传播,后面是一个电流层,它分开了等离子体与磁场。1959年,Wright和Black曾详细地研究了在放电初期电磁激波管中的流动。在假定电流i与时间t成正比之后,他们求出了一个相似解。这时电流层以等加速度a向右方运动,可以预料,这将会发生Rayleigh-Taylor不稳定性,由于加速度a大,不稳定性增长率ω也很大。 我们令电流面以等加速度a向右运动(见图2)。电流面的坐标x_0(t)与速度v_0(t)分

Numerical study of bifurcation solutions of spherical Taylor-Couette flow

The steady bifurcation flows in a spherical gap (gap ratio sigma=0.18) with rotating inner and stationary outer spheres are simulated numerically for Re(c1)less than or equal to Re less than or equal to 1 500 by solving steady axisymmetric incompressible Navier-Stokes equations using a finite difference method. The simulation shows that there exist two steady stable flows with 1 or 2 vortices per hemisphere for 775 less than or equal to Re less than or equal to 1 220 and three steady stable flows with 0, 1, or 2 vortices for 1 220

The role of the term spread in an augmented Taylor rule: An empirical investigation

Using US data for the period 1967:5-2002:4, this paper empirically investigates the performance of an augmented version of the Taylor rule (ATR) that (i) allows for the presence of switching regimes, (ii) considers the long-short term spread in addition to the typical variables, (iii) uses an alternative monthly indicator of general economic activity suggested by Stock and Watson (1999), and (iv) considers interest rate smoothing. The estimation results show the existence of switching regimes, one characterized by low volatility and the other by high volatility. Moreover, the scale of the responses of the Federal funds rate to movements in the term spread, inflation and the economic activity index depend on the regime. The estimation results also show robust empirical evidence that the ATR has been more stable during the term of office of Chairman Greenspan than in the pre-Greenspan period. However, a closer look at the Greenspan period shows the existence of two alternative regimes and that the response of the Fed funds rate to inflation has not been significant during this period once the term spread is considered.

Rayleigh-Taylor不稳定的物理模型和数值模拟

界面不稳定是自然界和工业中流动的普遍现象。本文以Rayleigh-Taylor不稳定性为范例,说明基于物理思想的CFD方法在流动问题研究中的应用。为了确定自由面,以往的Lagrange坐标法、阵面跟踪法在界面发生大变形时都会失效。同时,因流动不稳定从层流发展到湍流要经历若干阶段。因此,如何追踪演化过程的界面变形和如何确定湍流模型是R-T不稳定性研究中的主要困难。本文将溶质浓度差异视为导致介质轻重不同的原因,在不稳定发展过程中发生对流和混合。我们提出采用被动标量的大涡模拟方法来模拟R-T不稳定。鉴于该物理模型考虑了流体粘性和物质扩散的影响,可以自动确定阵面,完整描述不稳定从线性小扰动阶段、经过非线性变形阶段、剪切不稳定阶段到湍流混合阶段,真实重现了现象的物理过程,所以更为优越。通过比较尖钉和气泡阵面前进速度和计算亚格子分量的份

Influence of Rayleigh-Taylor Instability on Liquid Propellant Reorientation in a Low-Gravity Environment

A computational simulation is conducted to investigate the influence of Rayleigh-Taylor instability on liquid propellant reorientation flow dynamics for the tank of CZ-3A launch vehicle series fuel tanks in a low-gravity environment. The volume-of-fluid (VOF) method is used to simulate the free surface flow of gas-liquid. The process of the liquid propellant reorientation started from initially flat and curved interfaces are numerically studied. These two different initial conditions of the gas-liquid interface result in two modes of liquid flow. It is found that the Rayleigh-Taylor instability can be reduced evidently at the initial gas-liquid interface with a high curve during the process of liquid reorientation in a low-gravity environment.

Modified formula of Malus' law for Glan-Taylor polarizing prisms

A simple three-axis model has been developed, which has been successfully applied to the analysis of the light transmittance in spatial incident angle and the simulation of modified formula of Malus' law for Glan-Taylor prisms. Our results indicate that the fluctuations on the cosine squared curve are due to specific misalignments between the axis of the optical system, the optical axis of the prism and the mechanical axis (rotation axis) of prism, which results in the fact that different initial relative location of the to-be-measured-prism in the testing system corresponds to different shape of Malus' law curve. Methods to get absolutely smooth curve are proposed. This analysis is available for other kinds of Glan-type prisms. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
