On the wake generated by a planet in a disc
نویسندگان
چکیده
A planet of low mass orbiting in a two-dimensional gaseous disc generates a one-armed spiral wake. We explain this phenomenon as the result of constructive interference between wave modes in the disc, somewhat similar to the Kelvin wedge produced in the wake of a ship. The same feature is not expected in a three-dimensional disc with thermal stratification.

The Effect of Square Splittered and Unsplittered Rods in Flat Plate Heat Transfer Enhancement
A square splittered and unsplittered rod is placed in a turbulent boundary layer developed over a flat plate. The effect of the resulting disturbances on the local heat transfer coefficient is then studied. In both cases the square rod modifies the flow structure inside the boundary layer. As a result, a stagnation point, a jet and wake area are generated around the square rod, each making a co...
متن کاملDetermining the Hydro-acoustic Characteristics of the Ship Propeller in Uniform and Non-uniform Flow
This research has been carried out to determine the marine propeller hydro-acoustic characteristics by Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver in both uniform and non-uniform wake flow at different operating conditions Wake flow can cause changes in pressure fluctuation and gas effect on propeller noise spectrum. Noise is generated by the induced trailing vortex wake and induced pressure ...

Transversal oscillation of coronal loops that are interpreted as signatures of magneto hydrodynamics (MHD) waves are observed frequently in active region corona loops. The amplitude of this oscillation has been found to be strongly attenuated. The damping of transverse oscillation may be produced by the dissipation mechanism and the wake of the traveling disturbance. The damping of transversal ...
متن کاملNumerical Modeling of the Stepped Planing Hull in Calm Water
This article describes a 3D CFD (computational fluid dynamics) simulation implementation of the stepped planning hull in calm water. The turbulent free surface flow around the stepped planing hull is computed with a RANSE method, using the solver ANSYS-CFX. The turbulence model used is standard k–ε. In order to simulate the disturbed free surface, VOF model is implemented. The CFD model has bee...
متن کاملDesign of optimal central guidance of an underwater vehicle in the modeled ship wake
The purpose of this paper is to provide a new algorithm for guidance of an underwater vehicle to reach its target, and demonstrate its effectiveness by simulation with a computer code. The meant of target in here is to chase a ship on the surface of the water. In order to do this, one of the most effective methods is to follow the ship wake which produced behind it. Disadvantages of wake guidan...
