Vector Field Topology in the Context of Separation and Attachment of Flows
نویسندگان
چکیده
The interaction of a flow with the objects embedded in it mostly results in attachment or detachment (also separation) of the flow to respectively from the object. Separation and attachment usually appears at isolated points or lines. In steady flows, separation and attachment are related to singularities and separatrices, i.e. vector field topology, of the wall-shear stress field [SGH06]. Consequently, a number of flow visualization techniques employing the concepts of vector field topology for the detection of separation and attachment have been proposed. First, Helman and Hesselink extracted separation and attachment lines (short: feature lines) as separatrices of the wall-shear stress field [HH90]. Later, Kenwright et al. [KHL99] presented a marching method that used the “separatrices” of the linear vector field given in triangle cells with special vector configurations to construct segments of piecewise defined feature lines. Only recently attracting singularities on surfaces have been used for illustrating vortices connected to object boundaries [WTS∗07]. These vortices are also connected to separation as they drag the flow away from the surface. Unfortunately, the mentioned methods using separatrices lead to incorrect results if applied to instantaneous vector fields, i.e. snapshots of unsteady flows [SJGH08]. Thus, the discussion of separatrices on surfaces as feature lines applies only to autonomous vector fields throughout the rest of the paper.

Study of Parameters Affecting Separation Bubble Size in High Speed Flows using k-ω Turbulence Model
Shock waves generated at different parts of vehicle interact with the boundary layer over the surface at high Mach flows. The adverse pressure gradient across strong shock wave causes the flow to separate and peak loads are generated at separation and reattachment points. The size of separation bubble in the shock boundary layer interaction flows depends on various parameters. Reynolds-averaged...

Separation anxiety disorder (SAD) is characterized by developmentally inappropriate and excessive anxiety concerning separation from home or those to whom the individual is attached. Literature suggests that child attachment and anxiety symptoms are related. The aim of this study is to discover which symptoms of separation anxiety were associated with avoidant and/or ambivalent attachment. A to...

This paper extends the notion of ditopology to the case where openness and closedness are given in terms of {em a priori} unrelated Drading functions. The resulting notion of graded ditopology is considered both in the setting of lattices and in that textures, the relation between the two approaches being discussed in detail. Interrelations between graded ditopologies and ditopologies on textur...
متن کاملGenerated topology on infinite sets by ultrafilters
Let $X$ be an infinite set, equipped with a topology $tau$. In this paper we studied the relationship between $tau$, and ultrafilters on $X$. We can discovered, among other thing, some relations of the Robinson's compactness theorem, continuity and the separation axioms. It is important also, aspects of communication between mathematical concepts.
