Interface motion speed

Denote boundary motion speed as u that may or may not depend on time. For crystal growth, the interface moves to the right with x = Xo>0. For crystal dissolution, the interface moves to the left with x = Xo<0. That is, u is positive during crystal growth and negative during crystal dissolution under our setup of the problem. The interface position can be found as... 

The interface deformation is a function of many parameters, such as ship speed, layer thickness, mud density and rheology, and (initial) UKC referred to the mud-water interface. Contact between the ship s keel and the mud layer depends mainly on the UKC, but is also influenced by the interface imdulations and the ship s sinkage. As a result, both effects are not independent. A general description of the vertical interface motions on squat is presented. Most of the information available on this subject is based on experimental research, mostly at model scale.

In the case of two-process models, in addition to the integration of the motion speed of the interface, it is necessary to use the form [10.10] of the general law with < > and yfunctions of t. It is obvious that the new mathematical forms obtained do not have analytical solutions and must be exploited by numerical calculation on computer. 

Spin Welding. Spin welding is an efficient technique for joining circular surfaces of similar materials. The matching surfaces are rotated at high speed relative to each other and then brought into contact. Frictional heat melts the interface and, when motion is stopped, the weld is allowed to soHdify under pressure. 

Some initial impulse unbalance is often required to start the whirl motion. Newkirk has suggested that the effect is caused by interfaces of joints in a rotor (shrink fits) rather than defects in rotor material. This type of whirl phenomenon occurs only at rotational speeds above the first critical. The phenomenon may disappear and then reappear at a higher speed. Some success has been achieved in reducing this type of whirl by reducing the number of separate parts, restricting the shrink fits, and providing some lockup of assembled elements. 

When a drop (water) falls to a flat interface (benzene-water) the entire drop does not always join the pool (water). Sometimes a small droplet is left behind and the entire process, called partial coalescence, is repeated. This can happen several times in succession. High-speed motion pictures, taken at about 2000 frames per second, have revealed the details of the action (W3). The film (benzene) ruptures at the critical film thickness and the hole expands rapidly. Surface and gravitational forces then tend to drag the drop into the main pool (water). But the inertia of the high column of incompressible liquid above the drop tends to resist this pull. The result is a horizontal contraction of the drop into a pillar of liquid above the interface. Further pull will cause the column to be pinched through, leaving a small droplet behind. Charles and Mason (C2) have observed that two pinches and two droplets occurred in a few cases. The entire series of events required about 0.20 sec. for aniline drops at an aniline-water interface (C2, W3). 

The dilemma is solved by taking into account the fact that the lack of an equal supply rate for cations and anions carried toward the electrodes by the electric current will create a concentration gradient near the interface for the slower ions, and this concentration gradient will speed up the motion of the slower ions to compensate for their poorer performance. It is this diffusional component that makes Faraday s laws come true. The diffusional gradient pitches in to help the slower ions to the electrode at the same rate as the faster ones. 

We now turn to the prediction of the suspension mechanism of the ballotini versus the speed ratio in the coaxial mixer. The average volume concentration is 1%, and the solids are initially at rest in the tank bottom. The first case investigated corresponds to the motion of the sole anchor arm at a speed of 40 rpm. Simulations are carried out in the Lagrangian frame of reference (fixed anchor, rotating vessel). Fig. 12 shows the predicted and experimental solid volume fraction at equilibrium. The computation of the solid-liquid interface at the bottom is fairly well... 

The behavior of ANFO in 0.1- and 0.2-m-diameter cylinders has been studied in field tests (4, j5). Most of the data were obtained in high-speed photography of detonations of explosive-filled plastic or clay pipes immersed in water. The detonation velocity can be determined quite accurately and in the water tank tests, the propagation of the shock in the water and the motion of the interface between the water and the pipe can be followed. An equation of state for the explosive reaction...
