Hydromechanics of low - Reynolds - number flow . Part 4
The problem of a uniform transverse flow past a prolate spheroid of arbitrary aspect ratio a t low Reynolds numbers has been analysed by the method of matched asymptotic expansions. The solution is found to depend on two Reynolds numbers, one based on the semi-minor axis b, Rb = Ublv, and the other on the semi-major axis a, Ra = Ualv (U being the free-stream velocity at infinity, which is perpe...
متن کاملHydromechanics of low - Reynolds - number flow . Part 5 . Motion of a slender torus
In order to elucidate the general Stokes flow characteristics present for slender bodies of finite centre-line curvature the singularity method for Stokesflow has been employed to construct solutions to the flow past a slender torus. The symmetry of the geometry and absence of ends has made a highly accurate analysis possible. The no-slip boundary condition on the body surface is satisfied up t...
متن کاملStructure and dynamics of low Reynolds number turbulent pipe flow.
Using large-scale numerical calculations, we explore the proper orthogonal decomposition of low Reynolds number turbulent pipe flow, using both the translational invariant (Fourier) method and the method of snapshots. Each method has benefits and drawbacks, making the 'best' choice dependent on the purpose of the analysis. Owing to its construction, the Fourier method includes all the flow fiel...
متن کاملThe low-Reynolds number spreading of axisymmetric drops and gravity currents along a free surface
Experimental results are presented for the spreading of buoyant drops and gravity currents along a free surface. The spreading occurs at low Reynolds number, and no interfacial tension exists between the spreading and ambient fluid. Theoretical results suggest that distinct spreading rates occur in three regimes: l!@ ln(R/a)#a/R, a/R!l!R/a , and l@R/a , where l is the ratio of the spreading and...
متن کاملUnsteady low-Reynolds number flow control in different regimes
Low-Reynolds number wings are susceptible to flow separation due to high viscous effects. Combined with wind gusts, the aerodynamic performance can highly fluctuate. In this study, we continue to investigate the open-loop and closed-loop control strategies aimed at mitigating lift fluctuations due to free-stream unsteadiness for a SD7003 airfoil at the chord Reynolds number of 1000. The flow co...
