Inviscid Two-Dimensional Fluid Dynamics Experiments with Magnetized Electron Columns

Inviscid two-dimensional (2D) fluid phenomena like hurricanes, jet streams, Jupiter’s Red Spot, and protoplanetary disks are quite common in Nature. Unfortunately, 2D fluid phenomena are difficult to study in the laboratory because the finite size of laboratory apparati commonly introduces unwanted viscous and friction effects. Magnetized electron columns, however, behave like twodimensional fl...

Nonexistence of Coherent Structures in Two-Dimensional Inviscid Channel Flow

Two-dimensional inviscid channel flow of an incompressible fluid is considered. It is shown that if the flow is steady and features no horizontal stagnation, then the flow must necessarily be a parallel shear flow.

Dynamic and Deformation of a liquid Droplet in a Convective Two-Dimensional Laminar Flow

The objective of this research is to develop an accurate numerical method to be used in showing the deformation of a liquid fuel droplet in a convective field. To simultaneously solve the internal liquid droplet flow field as well as the external gas phase flow field, a nonstaggered rectangular grid system without any coordinate transformation is used. Transition from the gas field to the liqui...

Lattice Boltzmann Equation for Laminar Boundary Flow

A simple method based on the lattice Boltzmann equatio n is presented for the evaluati on of the velocity profile of fluid flows near walls or in the vicinity of the interface between two fluids. The met hod is applied to fluid flow near a wall, to channel flow, and to the transition zone between two fluids flowing parallel to each other in opposite direct ions. The results show good agreement ...
