A numerical study of the generation of Tollmien-Schlichting (T–S) waves due to the interaction between a small free-stream disturbance and a small localized variation of the surface geometry has been carried out using both finite–difference and spectral methods. The nonlinear steady flow is of the viscous–inviscid interactive type while the unsteady disturbed flow is assumed to be governed by the Navier–Stokes equations linearized about this flow. Numerical solutions illustrate the growth or decay of the T–S waves generated by the interaction between the free-stream disturbance and the surface distortion, depending on the value of the scaled Strouhal number. An important result of this receptivity problem is the numerical determination of the amplitude of the T–S waves.

The flow in a hydrostatic pocket is described by a mathematical model that uses the Navier-Stokes equations written in terms of the primary variables, u, v, and p. Using the conservative formulation, a finite difference method is applied through a staggered grid. The power law scheme is applied in the treatment of the convective terms for this highly recirculating flow. The discussion pertaining to the convergence of the numerical scheme and the computational error, shows that the strict convergence criteria applied to both velocities and pressure were successfully statisfied. The numerical model is applied in a parametric mode to the study of the velocities, the pressure patterns, and shear forces that characterize the flow in a square (α = 1), deep (α>1), and shallow (α≪1) hydrostatic pocket. The effects of the variation of the location and angle of the hydrostatic jet are also investigated.

Slamming forces on 2D and 3D bodies have been computed based on a CIP method. The highly nonlinear water entry problem governed by the Navier-Stokes equations was solved by a CIP based finite difference method on a fixed Cartesian grid. In the computation, a compact upwind scheme was employed for the advection calculations and a pressure-based algorithm was applied to treat the multiple phases. The free surface and the body boundaries were captured using density functions. For the pressure calculation, a Poisson-type equation was solved at each time step by the conjugate gradient iterative method. Validation studies were carried out for 2D wedges with various deadrise angles ranging from 0 to 60 degrees at constant vertical velocity. In the cases of wedges with small deadrise angles, the compressibility of air between the bottom of the wedge and the free surface was modelled. Studies were also extended to 3D bodies, such as a sphere, a cylinder and a catamaran, entering calm water. Computed pressures, free surface elevations and hydrodynamic forces were compared with experimental data and the numerical solutions by other methods.

We study a one-dimensional model of the dilute aqueous solution of KCl in the electric field. Our model is based on a set of Nernst-Planck-Poisson equations and includes the incompressible fluid velocity as a parameter. We demonstrate instability of the linear electric potential variation for the uniform ion distribution and compare analytical results with numerical solutions. The developed model successfully describes the stability loss of the steady state solution and demonstrates the emerging of spatially non-uniform distribution of the electric potential. However, this model should be generalized by accounting for the convective movement via the addition of the Navier-Stokes equations in order to substantially extend its application field.

This paper presents a convective dominated reliable diffusion process in an axi-symmetric tube with a local constriction simulating a stenos artery considering the porosity effects. The investigations demonstrate the effects of wall shear stress and recirculation flow on the concentration distribution in the vessels lumen and on wall mass transfer keeping the porosity in view. The flow is governed by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for Newtonian fluid in porous medium. The convection diffusion equation has been used for the mass transport. The effect of porosity is examined on the velocity field and wall stress. The numerical solutions of the flow equations and the coupled mass transport equations have been obtained using a finite difference method. This paper explains the reliable effects of flow porosity on the mass transport.

The problem of a body oscillating in a viscous fluid with a free surface is examined. The Navier-Stokes equations and boundary conditions are linearized using the assumption of small body-motion to wavelength ratio. Generation and diffusion of vorticity, but not its convection, are accounted for. Rotational and irrotational Green functions for a divergent and a vorticity source are presented, with the effects of viscosity represented by a frequency Reynolds number Rσ = g2/νσ3. Numerical solutions for a pair of coupled integral equations are obtained for flows about a submerged cylinder, circular or square. Viscosity-modified added-mass and damping coefficients are developed as functions of frequency. It is found that as Rσ approaches infinity, inviscid-fluid results can be recovered. However, viscous effects are important in the low-frequency range, particularly when Rσ is smaller than O(104).
