Transient and asymptotic growth of two-dimensional perturbations in viscous compressible shear flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
A comprehensive assessment is made of transient and asymptotic two-dimensional perturbation growth in compressible shear flow using unbounded constant shear and the Couette problem as examples. The unbounded shear flow example captures the essential dynamics of the rapid transient growth processes at high Mach numbers, while excitation by nonmodal mechanisms of nearly neutral modes supported by boundaries in the Couette problem is found to be important in sustaining high perturbation amplitude at long times. The optimal growth of two-dimensional perturbations in viscous high Mach number flows in both unbounded shear flow and the Couette problem is shown to greatly exceed the optimal growth obtained in incompressible flows at the same Reynolds number. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. @S1070-6631~00!00211-7#

On the planar extensional motion of an inertially driven liquid sheet
We derive a time-dependent exact solution of the free surface problem for the Navier–Stokes equations that describes the planar extensional motion of a viscous sheet driven by inertia. The linear stability of the exact solution to oneand two-dimensional symmetric perturbations is examined in the inviscid and viscous limits within the framework of the long-wave or slender body approximation.

متن کاملLinear stability, transient energy growth, and the role of viscosity stratification in compressible plane Couette flow.
Linear stability and the nonmodal transient energy growth in compressible plane Couette flow are investigated for two prototype mean flows: (a) the uniform shear flow with constant viscosity, and (b) the nonuniform shear flow with stratified viscosity. Both mean flows are linearly unstable for a range of supersonic Mach numbers (M). For a given M , the critical Reynolds number (Re) is significa...
متن کاملA Composite Finite Difference Scheme for Subsonic Transonic Flows (RESEARCH NOTE).
This paper presents a simple and computationally-efficient algorithm for solving steady two-dimensional subsonic and transonic compressible flow over an airfoil. This work uses an interactive viscous-inviscid solution by incorporating the viscous effects in a thin shear-layer. Boundary-layer approximation reduces the Navier-Stokes equations to a parabolic set of coupled, non-linear partial diff...

An unsteady two-dimensional numerical investigation was performed on the viscous flow passing through a multi-blade cascade. A Cartesian finite-volume approach was employed and it was linked to Van-Leer's and Roe's flux splitting schemes to evaluate inviscid flux terms. To prevent the oscillatory behavior of numerical results and to increase the accuracy, Monotonic Upstream Scheme for Conservat...
متن کاملAsymptotic Behavior of Solutions to the Compressible Navier-Stokes Equation Around a Time-Periodic Parallel Flow
The global in time existence of strong solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equation around time-periodic parallel flows in R, n ≥ 2, is established under smallness conditions on Reynolds number, Mach number and initial perturbations. Furthermore, it is proved for n = 2 that the asymptotic leading part of solutions is given by a solution of one-dimensional viscous Burgers equation multip...
