Direct numerical simulation mode

The most important difference between wall excitation and free stream excitation is the direction of propagation of the disturbance field with respect to the local mean flow. For low amplitude wall excitation, disturbances propagate downstream only for unseparated flows. In contrast, when the shear layer is excited by train of vortices in the freestream, then a part of the disturbance held travels upstream- in addition to the downstream propagating wall mode. While these observations are for two-dimensional flow held, it is noted that very low-frequency wall disturbances create only three-dimensional disturbances -the Klebanoff mode. Thus, when a shear layer is excited by periodic freestream sources, the resultant flow field is a mixture of two- and three-dimensional disturbances and their mutual interaction as they travel upstream and downstream with respect to the excitation source. These elements were noted in the Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) results of Wu et al (1999) and Jacobs Durbin (2001). In the former, the... 

Abstract This chapter deals with capillary instability of straight free liquid jets moving in air. It begins with linear stability theory for small perturbations of Newtonian liquid jets and discusses the unstable modes, characteristic growth rates, temporal and spatial instabilities and their underlying physical mechanisms. The linear theory also provides an estimate of the main droplet size emerging from capillary breakup. Formation of satellite modes is treated in the framework of either asymptotic methods or direct numerical simulations. Then, such additional effects like thermocapiUarity, or swirl are taken into account. In addition, quasi-one-dimensional approach for description of capillary breakup is introduced and illustrated in detail for Newtonian and rheologically complex liquid jets (pseudoplastic, dilatant, and viscoelastic polymeric liquids).

In terms of nonlinear dynamical systems, the second waveguide of the junction can be considered as a system that is initially more or less far from its stable point. The global dynamics of the system is directly related to the spatial transfomation of the total field behind the plane of junction. In structure A, the initial linear mode transforms into a nonlinear mode of the waveguide with the same width and refractive index. In the structure B, the initial filed distribution corresponds to a nonlinear mode of the first waveguide it differs from nonlinear mode of the second waveguide, however. The dynamics in both cases is complicated and involves nonlinear modes as well as radiation. Global dynamics of a non-integrable system usually requires numerical simulations. For the junctions, the Cauchy problem also cannot be solved analytically. 

As a specific example to study the characteristics of the controller, the problem involving four modes of longitudinal oscillations is considered herein. The natural radian frequency of the fundamental mode, normalized with respect to 7ra/L, is taken to be unity. The nominal linear parameters Dni and Eni in Eq. (22.12) are taken from [1], representing a typical situation encountered in several practical combustion chambers. An integrated research project comprising laser-based experimental diagnostics and comprehensive numerical simulation is currently conducted to provide direct insight into the combustion dynamics in a laboratory dump combustor [27]. Included as part of the results are the system and actuator parameters under feedback actions, which can... 

The time dependent solvation funetion S(t) is a directly observed quantity as well as a convenient tool for numerical simulation studies. The corresponding linear response approximation C(t) is also easily eomputed from numerical simulations, and can also be studied using suitable theoretical models. Computer simulations are very valuable both in exploring the validity of such theoretical calculations, as well as the validity of linear response theory itself (by comparing S(t) to C(t)). Furthermore they can be used for direct visualization of the solute and solvent motions that dominate the solvation process. Many such simulations were published in the past decade, using different models for solvents such as water, alcohols and acetonitrile. Two remarkable outcomes of these studies are first, the close qualitative similarity between the time evolution of solvation in different simple solvents, and second, the marked deviation from the simple exponential relaxation predicted by the Debye relaxation model (cf Eq. [4.3.18]). At least two distinct relaxation modes are... 

If the dynamic behaviour of a system can be described by a switched LTI system, a linear implicit DAE system can be derived from the bond graph. The entries of its matrices depend on the discrete switch states. As long as no structural changes occur, i.e. no residual sinks are switched on, the DAE system is of index <1. For system modes in which residuals sinks are switched on, the DAE system is of index 2. There are solvers available for its direct numerical computation that are based on the BDF-method. An alternative may be to perform a DEVS simulation that uses quantised based integration. 

As discussed above in the chapter introduction, either Newton s or Hamiltonian s equations may be numerically integrated for direct dynamics simulations. There is also a choice of coordinate representation, such as Cartesian, internal, " or instantaneous normal modes. Though potential... 

Based on the use of the NARCM regional model of climate and formation of the field of concentration and size distribution of aerosol, Munoz-Alpizar et al. (2003) calculated the transport, diffusion, and deposition of sulfate aerosol using an approximate model of the processes of sulfur oxidation that does not take the chemical processes in urban air into account. However, the 3-D evolution of microphysical and optical characteristics of aerosol was discussed in detail. The results of numerical modeling were compared with observational data near the surface and in the free troposphere carried out on March 2, 4, and 14, 1997. Analysis of the time series of observations at the airport in Mexico City revealed low values of visibility in the morning due to the small thickness of the ABL, and the subsequent improvement of visibility as ABL thickness increased. Estimates of visibility revealed its strong dependence on wind direction and aerosol size distribution. Calculations have shown that increased detail in size distribution presentation promotes a more reliable simulation of the coagulation processes and a more realistic size distribution characterized by the presence of the accumulation mode of aerosol with the size of particles 0.3 pm. In this case, the results of visibility calculations become more reliable, too. 

Numerous experimental IR spectra of ultrathin films confirm the above theoretical interpretation (see Ref. [26] and literature therein). The jo-polarized emission spectra of a ZnSe film on the Si-Al BML substrate (Fig. 3.9) are given as an example [26]. As the Si underlayer thickness increases, the intensity of the ZnSe band near vtq (206 cm ) increases. In fact, according to the quasi-static interpretation, the dipole moment of mode 3 (mainly responsible for the band near vto) is directed along the x-axis, parallel to the interface. At small thicknesses, mode 3 will be quenched by the image in the metal (Section 1.8.2), but as the film thickness increases, this effect diminishes. Mode 2, whose band is near vlo (252 cm ) with polarization parallel to the surface, is unaffected by the presence of the underlayer. It is noteworthy that the experimental spectra agree so well with the spectral simulations from the Fresnel formulas. Another result, which agrees with the theoretical treatment, is the frequency dependence of the band near vto in spectra of the ZnSe layers on metals with different permittivities Sm...
