Submitted for the MAR10 Meeting of The American Physical Society Vortex ring refraction at large Froude numbers1 KERRY KUEHN, MATTHEW MOELLER, MICHAEL SCHULZ, DANIEL SANFELIPPO, Wisconsin Lutheran College — We have experimentally studied the impact of a planar axisymmetric vortex ring, incident at an oblique angle, upon a sharp gravity-induced interface separating two fluids of differing densit...

Five levels have been recognized in the history of interface research and development. Each of the levels has had its own focus, which has followed the changes in technology and the user base. Consequently, the interface has been moving outwards, further from hardware. We argue that the growing interest in cultural issues in interface design is a part of this general development and foreshadows...

This paper is an overview of the finite element methods developed by the Team for Advanced Flow Simulation and Modeling (T?AFSM) [http://www.mems.rice.edu/TAFSM/] for computation of flow problems with moving boundaries and interfaces. This class of problems include those with free surfaces, two-fluid interfaces, fluid-object and fluid-structure interactions, and moving mechanical components. Th...

Keywords: Incompressible Stokes equations Singular force Immersed interface method CG-Uzawa method Deformable interface Front tracking Irregular domains Rigid boundaries a b s t r a c t We present an immersed interface method for solving the incompressible steady Stokes equations involving fixed/moving interfaces and rigid boundaries (irregular domains). The fixed/moving interfaces and rigid bo...

We develop the general equation for the nonequilibrium reversible-irreversible coupling framework of thermodynamics to handle moving interfaces in the context of a gas that can be dissolved in a surrounding liquid. The key innovation is a "moving interface normal transfer" term required for consistency between the thermodynamic evolution equation and the chain rule of functional calculus. The f...

Abstract. We study a moving boundary value problem consisting of a viscous incompressible fluid moving and interacting with a nonlinear elastic shell. The fluid motion is governed by the Navier-Stokes equations, while the shell is modeled by the nonlinear St. Venant-Kirchhoff constitutive law, and they are coupled together by continuity of displacement and traction (stress) along the moving mat...

Abstract. We study a moving boundary value problem consisting of a viscous incompressible fluid moving and interacting with a nonlinear elastic solid shell. The fluid motion is governed by the Navier-Stokes equations, while the shell is modeled by the nonlinear Koiter shell model, consisting of both bending and membrane tractions. The fluid is coupled to the solid shell through continuity of di...
