Finite-time singularity in the vortex dynamics of a string
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyze the dynamics of a perfectly flexible string with a constant length and a vanishing inner friction. The local angular velocity of line elements in this seemingly simple mechanical system is shown to have many mathematical and physical properties in common with vorticity in the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equation. It is demonstrated that initially smooth vorticity fields lose their regularity within finite time in a self-similar process, and that the peak vorticity grows as vmax;(T2t) . @S1063-651X~99!15002-5#

Numerical Simulation of the Incompressible Laminar Flow Over a Square Cylinder
Simulation of fluid flow over a square cylinder can be performed in order to understand the physics of the flow over bluff bodies. In the current study, incompressible laminar flow over a confined square cylinder, with variable blockage factor has been simulated numerically, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The focus has been on vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of the cylinder. Vorticity...
متن کاملThe Study of Kinematics and Dynamics of Oscillating Laminar Flow About a Cylinder
In this paper, the oscillating two-dimensional laminar flow about a cylinder and the oscillation of a cylinder in still water are studied. A finite volume method is applied to solve the Navier Stokes equations using SIMPLEC algorithm on a body fitted co-located O-type grid. In this study, the non-dimensional flow numbers, Keulegan-Carpenter and Stokes’ numbers are chosen over a range where diff...

متن کاملFinite time singularities in a class of hydrodynamic models.
Models of inviscid incompressible fluid are considered, with the kinetic energy (i.e., the Lagrangian functional) taking the form L approximately integral k(alpha)/vk/2dk in 3D Fourier representation, where alpha is a constant, 0<alpha<1. Unlike the case alpha=0 (the usual Eulerian hydrodynamics), a finite value of alpha results in a finite energy for a singular, frozen-in vortex filament. This...
متن کاملNumerical Study on Improvement of Hydrofoil Performance using Vortex Generators (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this paper the effects of rigid triangular passive vortex generators on a hydrofoil were investigated numerically. In the first step using the Finite Volume Method the bare hydrofoil were modeled and the results of lift and drag coefficients were validated using experimental data. In the next step the hydrofoil armed with vortex generators was modeled and its effect on the hydrofoil perfo...
