Sinking of a horizontal cylinder.
We study the sinking of a dense cylinder initially supported horizontally at an air-water interface and then released. The sinking motion is studied experimentally and agrees quantitatively with a simple hydrodynamic model of the process. In particular, our model predicts that the time taken for the cylinder to become immersed in the liquid should be tsink approximately theta((lc/g)1/2), where ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Fault Plane on the Horizontal In Situ Stresses Orientation: a Case Study in one of Iranian Oilfield
Knowledge of the orientation of horizontal in situ stresses is important to some areas of oil and gas field development plans. Borehole breakouts observed in image logs and drilling-induced fractures are the main parameters for the determination of the stresses’ directions in situ. In this work, the orientations of borehole breakouts were investigated as a function of depth in oil wells A and ...
متن کاملOn the natural convective heat transfer from a cold horizontal cylinder over an adiabatic surface
A steady two-dimensional laminar free convection heat transfer from a cold horizontal isothermal cylinder located above an adiabatic floor is studied both experimentally and numerically. In the experimental measurements the effects of cylinder distance from horizontal floor to its diameter (L/D) on heat transfer coefficient is studied for Rayleigh numbers of 3×105 and 6×105. Computations are ma...
متن کاملStructure of Vortex Breakdown in a Torsionally Driven Cylinder at Low Reynolds Number
Flow visualisation using tracer and particle techniques is well known to be susceptible to fallacious interpretation for unsteady shear flows. Recent experimental observations using these types of techniques have led to the conclusion that even for low Reynolds number flows, the vortex breakdown bubble in a torsionally driven cylinder is not closed and has an inflow/outflow asymmetry at its tai...
متن کاملA circle swimmer at low Reynolds number.
Swimming in circles occurs in a variety of situations at low Reynolds number. Here we propose a simple model for a swimmer that undergoes circular motion, generalising the model of a linear swimmer proposed by Najafi and Golestanian (Phys. Rev. E 69, 062901 (2004)). Our model consists of three solid spheres arranged in a triangular configuration, joined by two links of time-dependent length. Fo...
