Steady State Solutions

This paper investigates steady-state solutions to MHD thermally radiating and reacting thermosolutal viscous flow through a channel with porous medium. The reaction is assumed to be strongly exothermic under generalized Arrhenius kinetics, neglecting the consumption of the material. Approximate solutions are constructed for the governing nonlinear boundary value problem using WKBJ approximations. The results, which are discussed with the aid of the dimensionless parameters entering the problem, are seen to depend sensitively on the parameters.

Steady State Solutions

The nature of the steady-state viscous flow between two large rotating disks has often been discussed, usually qualitatively, in the literature. Using a version of the numerical method described in the preceding paper (Pearson 1965), digital computer solutions for the time-dependent case are obtained (steady-state solutions are then obtainable as limiting cases for large times). Solutions are given for impulsively started disks, and for counter-rotating disks. Of interest is the fact that, at high Reynolds numbers, the solution for the latter problem is unsymmetrical; moreover, the main body of the fluid rotates at a higher angular velocity than that of either disk.

Steady State Solutions

Symmetric flows induced in rectangular cavities by a pair of moving walls are studied numerically. Solutions are obtained by solving the coupled transient vorticity transport and stream function relations using the alternating direction implicit method. Steady state solutions are obtained as limiting cases of the transients. The study covers Reynolds numbers of 1 100 and 1000 for cavities having aspect ratios of 0.5 and 1.0.

Steady State Solutions

Transitions and instabilities of two-dimensional flow in a symmetric channel with a suddenly expanded and contracted part are investigated numerically by three different methods, i.e. the time marching method for dynamical equations, the SOR iterative method and the finite-element method for steady-state equations. Linear and weakly nonlinear stability theories are applied to the flow. The transitions are confirmed experimentally by flow visualizations. It is known that the flow is steady and symmetric at low Reynolds numbers, becomes asymmetric at a critical Reynolds number, regains the symmetry at another critical Reynolds number and becomes oscillatory at very large Reynolds numbers. Multiple stable steady-state solutions are found in some cases, which lead to a hysteresis. The critical conditions for the existence of the multiple stable steady-state solutions are determined numerically and compared with the results of the linear and weakly nonlinear stability analyses. An exchange of modes for oscillatory instabilities is found to occur in the flow as the aspect ratio, the ratio of the length of the expanded part to its width, is varied, and its relation with the impinging free-shear-layer instability (IFLSI) is discussed.

Flow Through

Analysis of pulsatile flow through exponentially diverging channels reveals the existence of critical mean Reynolds numbers for which the flow separates at a downstream axial station. These Reynolds numbers vary directly with the frequency of flow oscillation and inversely with the rate of channel divergence. Increasing the Reynolds number above its critical value results in a rapid upstream displacement of the point of separation. For a tube of fixed geometry, periodic unsteadiness causes flow separation to occur at lower Reynolds numbers and upstream of a corresponding steady-state situation. The point of separation moves progressively downstream, however, towards its steady-state location, as the frequency of oscillation increases. These results are discussed as consequences of the nonlinear steady streaming phenomenon described in an earlier paper.
