Aiaa 2002-3297 Interference between Two Side-by-side Cylinders in Hypersonic Rarefied-gas Flows
Hypersonic rarefied-gas flows near two side-byside cylinders have been studied numerically with the direct simulation Monte-Carlo technique under transitional rarefied-gas-flow conditions (Knudsen numbers from 0.0167 to 10). Strong influences of the geometrical factor (ratio of distance between cylinders to cylinder diameter) and the Knudsen number on the flow structure (the shape of shock wave...
متن کاملMotion of nanoparticles in rarefied gas flows
Abstract. Solar cells have been made from hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films. The films including Si nanoparticles by 3% in the volume fraction have been found to possess good properties. In order to find the method to control this volume fraction, the motion of Si nanoparticles in the rarefied flow of H2 and SiH4 is examined for a CVD (chemical vapor deposition) reactor by use of th...
متن کاملObservations of the stratorotational instability in rotating concentric cylinders
We study the stability of density stratified flow between corotating vertical cylinders with rotation rates o < i and radius ratio ri/ro = 0.877, where subscripts o and i refer to the outer and inner cylinders. Just as in stellar and planetary accretion disks, the flow has rotation, anticyclonic shear, and a stabilizing density gradient parallel to the rotation axis. The primary instability of ...
متن کاملTorque on a Rotating Ellipsoid in a Rarefied Gas
A particle, shaped as an ellipsoid of revolution and rotating about an arbitrary axis, experiences a torque in a rarefied monatomic gas because of the impact with the gas atoms. This torque is calculated for the case where the linear dimensions of the ellipsoid are small compared with the mean free path of the gas. The interaction of the gas atoms with the ellipsoidal surface is taken into acco...
متن کاملTurbulent flow between counter-rotating concentric cylinders: a direct numerical simulation study
We report three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of the turbulent flow between counter-rotating concentric cylinders with a radius ratio 0.5. The innerand outer-cylinder Reynolds numbers have the same magnitude, which ranges from 500 to 4000 in the simulations. We show that with the increase of Reynolds number, the prevailing structures in the flow are azimuthal vortices with scales muc...
