Collective Excitations in Simple Liquids
2014
The dynamics of simple liquid is discussed by starting from the linearized Navier-Stokes equations. Using these equations expicit formulas for the density- and current-correlation functions are given. Mode-coupling theory is introduced, which gives a constitutive equation between the current-relaxation memory function and the density correlation function. This theory is shown to accurately describe the collective-excitation behavior of simple liquids like liquid metals.
Relativistic holonomic fluids
1989
The notion of holonomic fluid in relativity is reconsidered. An intrinsic characterization of holonomic fluids, involving only the unit velocity, is given, showing that in spite of its dynamical appearance the notion of holonomic fluid is a kinematical notion. The relations between holonomic and thermodynamic perfect fluids are studied.
Numerical simulation and analysis of heat and mass transfer processes in metallurgical induction applications
2009
Comprehensive knowledge of the heat and mass transfer processes in the melt of induction applications is required to realize efficient metallurgical processes. Experimental and numerical studies of the melt flow in induction furnaces show that the flow pattern, which comprise several vortexes of the mean flow, and the temperature distribution in the melt are significantly influenced by low-frequency large scale flow oscillations. Two- and three-dimensional hydrodynamic calculations of the melt flow, using two-equation turbulence models based on Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes approach, do not predict the large scale periodic flow instabilities obtained from the experimental data. That's why…
Travelling Panels Interacting with External Flow
2013
This chapter is devoted to the analysis of the travelling panel, submerged in axially flowing fluid. In order to accurately model the dynamics and stability of a lightweight moving material, the interaction between the material and the surrounding air must be taken into account somehow. The light weight of the material leads to the inertial contribution of the surrounding air to the acceleration of the material becoming significant. In the small displacement regime, the geometry of the vibrating panel is approximately flat, and hence flow separation is unlikely. We will use the model of potential flow for the fluid. The approach described in this chapter allows for an efficient semi-analyti…
Analysis of joining and division of gas bubbles based on measurements of their motion trajectories
2014
The paper presents considerations on motion of a group of air bubbles. Special attention has been paid to interactions between them. The author presents the test stand structure and the idea of image tomograph used for measurements of bubble motion trajectories. The results of measurements have been presented in a three-dimensional space, and next characteristic behaviours of the moving bubbles were analyzed. Some basic mechanisms of the gas bubble division have been classified. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.mech.20.1.6596
A vorticity based aeroacoustic prediction for the noise emission of a low-speed turbulent internal flow
2003
Abstract Turbulent internal flows are known to generate intense noise as well as surface pressure fluctuations. Numerically predicting the noise emission near the prescribed boundaries requires that the sound-generating turbulent flow be adequately represented and described. The k – e method provides a promising tool for obtaining the unsteady characteristics of a realistic turbulent flow interacting with a rectangular flat plate undergoing “ground effect”. The far-field acoustic calculation is facilitated by the Kambe model (from Lighthill’s theory) and an original post-processor has been developed to determine the far-field spectra and the source term characteristics. In pre-processed tur…
Lorentzian Comments on Stokes Parameters
2003
The popular Stokes statements about polarized light are interpreted in a Minkowskian language using a Lorentzian representation for the Stokes parameters and the degree of polarization. The evolution equations for Stokes parameters on a curved space-time are obtained using the parallel transport of the polarization vector along a null geodesic. The interest of these equations in Astrophysics and Relativistic Cosmology is outlined.
A liquid gas target system for medium energy electron scattering
1972
Abstract A liquid gas target system is described, which is suitable for high resolution electron scattering experiments at medium energies. The liquid gas chamber of the target system has, for ease of comparison with solid targets, the form of a thin-walled flat box 2 mm in thickness. The position of the target assembly can be changed by remote control.
Solving the heat-flow problem with transient relativistic fluid dynamics
2014
Israel-Stewart theory is a causal, stable formulation of relativistic dissipative fluid dynamics. This theory has been shown to give a decent description of the dynamical behavior of a relativistic fluid in cases where shear stress becomes important. In principle, it should also be applicable to situations where heat flow becomes important. However, it has been shown that there are cases where Israel-Stewart theory cannot reproduce phenomena associated with heat flow. In this paper, we derive a relativistic dissipative fluid-dynamical theory from kinetic theory which provides a good description of all dissipative phenomena, including heat flow. We explicitly demonstrate this by comparing th…
On the bicrossproduct structures for the family of algebras
1998
It is shown that the family of deformed algebras has a different bicrossproduct structure for each in analogy to the undeformed case.
