Navier-Stokes’ equation, for

It turns out that there is another branch of mathematics, closely related to tire calculus of variations, although historically the two fields grew up somewhat separately, known as optimal control theory (OCT). Although the boundary between these two fields is somewhat blurred, in practice one may view optimal control theory as the application of the calculus of variations to problems with differential equation constraints. OCT is used in chemical, electrical, and aeronautical engineering where the differential equation constraints may be chemical kinetic equations, electrical circuit equations, the Navier-Stokes equations for air flow, or Newton s equations. In our case, the differential equation constraint is the TDSE in the presence of the control, which is the electric field interacting with the dipole (pemianent or transition dipole moment) of the molecule [53, 54, 55 and 56]. From the point of view of control theory, this application presents many new features relative to conventional applications perhaps most interesting mathematically is the admission of a complex state variable and a complex control conceptually, the application of control teclmiques to steer the microscopic equations of motion is both a novel and potentially very important new direction. 

Surface waves at an interface between two innniscible fluids involve effects due to gravity (g) and surface tension (a) forces. (In this section, o denotes surface tension and a denotes the stress tensor. The two should not be coiifiised with one another.) In a hydrodynamic approach, the interface is treated as a sharp boundary and the two bulk phases as incompressible. The Navier-Stokes equations for the two bulk phases (balance of macroscopic forces is the mgredient) along with the boundary condition at the interface (surface tension o enters here) are solved for possible hamionic oscillations of the interface of the fomi, exp [-(iu + s)t + i V-.r], where m is the frequency, is the damping coefficient, s tlie 2-d wavevector of the periodic oscillation and. ra 2-d vector parallel to the surface. For a liquid-vapour interface which we consider, away from the critical point, the vapour density is negligible compared to the liquid density and one obtains the hydrodynamic dispersion relation for surface waves + s>tf. The temi gq in the dispersion relation arises from...

It has become quite popular to optimize the manifold design using computational fluid dynamic codes, ie, FID AP, Phoenix, Fluent, etc, which solve the full Navier-Stokes equations for Newtonian fluids. The effect of the area ratio, on the flow distribution has been studied numerically and the flow distribution was reported to improve with decreasing yiR. 

When the continmty equation and the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible flow are time averaged, equations for the time-averaged velocities and pressures are obtained which appear identical to the original equations (6-18 through 6-28), except for the appearance of additional terms in the Navier-Stokes equations. Called Reynolds stress terms, they result from the nonlinear effects of momentum transport by the velocity fluctuations. In each i-component (i = X, y, z) Navier-Stokes equation, the following additional terms appear on the right-hand side ... 

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) emerged in the 1980s as a significant tool for fluid dynamics both in research and in practice, enabled by rapid development in computer hardware and software. Commercial CFD software is widely available. Computational fluid dynamics is the numerical solution of the equations or continuity and momentum (Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible Newtonian fluids) along with additional conseiwation equations for energy and material species in order to solve problems of nonisothermal flow, mixing, and chemical reaction.

These conditions show us immediately that in the case of the four-neighbor HPP lattice (V = 4) f is noni.sotropic, and the macroscopic equations therefore cannot yield a Navier-Stokes equation. For the hexagonal FHP lattice, on the other hand, we have V = 6 and P[. is isotropic through order Wolfram [wolf86c] predicts what models are conducive to f lavier-Stokes-like dynamics by using group theory to analyze the symmetry of tensor structures for polygons and polyhedra in d-dimensions. 

These values can be compared to predicted values for numerical solutions of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. For d = 2, for example, we have the lower bounds Sa=2 (TZ/M) and Wd=2 TZ /M for a LG and the bounds S num, d=2 and d=2 where the bounds for the numerical solutions... 

There is an analytical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations for the flow between two rotating cylinders with laminar flow (see e.g. [37]). The following equation applies for the velocity gradient in the annular gap in the general case of rotation of the outer cylinder (index 2) and the inner cylinder (index 1) ... 

An Eulerian-Eulerian (EE) approach was adopted to simulate the dispersed gas-liquid flow. The EE approach treats both the primary liquid phase and the dispersed gas phase as interpenetrating continua, and solves a set of Navier-Stokes equations for each phase. Velocity inlet and outlet boundary conditions were employed in the liquid phase, whilst the gas phase conditions consisted of a velocity inlet and pressure outlet. Turbulence within the system was account for with the Standard k-e model, implemented on a per-phase basis, similar to the recent work of Bertola et. al.[4]. A more detailed description of the computational setup of the EE method can be found in Pareek et. al.[5]. 

Of much greater relevance in micro reactors are rectangular channels, which were the subject of a study by Cheng et al. [110], among others. They solved the Navier-Stokes equation for channel cross-sections with an aspect ratio between 0.5 and 5 and Dean numbers between 5 and 715 using a finite-difference method. The vortex patterns obtained as a result of their computations are depicted in Figure 2.20 for two different Dean numbers. 

The basic idea of the IBM is that the presence of the solid boundary (fixed or moving) in a fluid can be represented by a virtual body force field Fp applied on the computational grid at the vicinity of solid-flow interface. Thus, the Navier-Stokes equation for this flow system in the Eulerian frame can be given by... 

The methods used for modeling pure granular flow are essentially borrowed from that of a molecular gas. Similarly, there are two main types of models the continuous (Eulerian) models (Dufty, 2000) and discrete particle (Lagrangian) models (Herrmann and Luding, 1998 Luding, 1998 Walton, 2004). The continuum models are developed for large-scale simulations, where the controlling equations resemble the Navier-Stokes equations for an ordinary gas flow. The discrete particle models (DPMs) are typically used in small-scale simulations or... 

In the TFM, both the gas phase and the solid phase are described as fully interpenetrating continua using a generalized form of the Navier-Stokes equations for interacting fluids.

The model turbulent energy spectrum given in (2.53) was introduced to describe fully developed turbulence, i.e., the case where / , (/<. t) does not depend explicitly on t. The case where the turbulent energy spectrum depends explicitly on time can be handled by deriving a transport equation for the velocity spectrum tensor 4> (k, t) starting from the Navier-Stokes equation for homogeneous velocity fields with zero or constant mean velocity (McComb 1990 Lesieur 1997). The resultant expression can be simplified for isotropic turbulence to a transport equation for / ,(/<. t) of the form14... 

When considering flow of a liquid in contact with a solid surface, a basic understanding of the hydrodynamic behavior at the interface is required. This begins with the Navier-Stokes equation for constant-viscosity, incompressible fluid flow, such that Sp/Sf = 0,...

Runnels and Eyman [41] report a tribological analysis of CMP in which a fluid-flow-induced stress distribution across the entire wafer surface is examined. Fundamentally, the model seeks to determine if hydroplaning of the wafer occurs by consideration of the fluid film between wafer and pad, in this case on a wafer scale. The thickness of the (slurry) fluid film is a key parameter, and depends on wafer curvature, slurry viscosity, and rotation speed. The traditional Preston equation R = KPV, where R is removal rate, P is pressure, and V is relative velocity, is modified to R = k ar, where a and T are the magnitudes of normal and shear stress, respectively. Fluid mechanic calculations are undertaken to determine contributions to these stresses based on how the slurry flows macroscopically, and how pressure is distributed across the entire wafer. Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible Newtonian flow (constant viscosity) are solved on a three-dimensional mesh ...

The momentum equation (the Navier-Stokes equation) for fluid flow (De Groot and Mazur, 1962) is complicated and difficult to solve. It is the subject of fluid mechanics and dynamics and is not covered in this book. When fluid flow is discussed in this book, the focus is on the effect of the flow (such as a flow of constant velocity, or boundary flow) on mass transfer, not the dynamics of the flow itself. 

In order to solve the Navier-Stokes equations for the dispersed and continuous phases, relationships are required between the velocities on either side of an interface between the two phases. The existence of an interface assures... 

At larger Re and for more marked deformation, theoretical approaches have had limited success. There have been no numerical solutions to the full Navier-Stokes equation for steady flow problems in which the shape, as well as the flow, has been an unknown. Savic (S3) suggested a procedure whereby the shape of a drop is determined by a balance of normal stresses at the interface. This approach has been extended by Pruppacher and Pitter (P6) for water drops falling through air and by Wairegi (Wl) for drops and bubbles in liquids. The drop or bubble adopts a shape where surface tension pressure increments, hydrostatic pressures, and hydrodynamic pressures are in balance at every point. Thus...

A vorticity-transport equation can be derived by taking the taking the vector curl of the full Navier-Stokes equations. For incompressible flows with constant viscosity, the vorticity-transport equation can be expressed in a form that is quite similar to the other transport equations. Begin with the full Navier-Stokes equations, which for constant viscosity can be written in compact vector form as (Eq. 3.61)...

From now on, the permeation in (16) is neglected as it is several orders of magnitude smaller than the advection due to the radial component of the velocity vr (now playing the role of vz in the planar case). As far as the velocity perturbation is concerned, our aim is to describe its principal effect-the radial motion of smectic layers, i.e., instead of diffusion (permeation) we now have advective transport. In this spirit we make several simplifications to keep the model tractable. The backflow-flow generation due to director reorientation-is neglected, as well as the effect of anisotropic viscosity (third and fourth line of (19)). Thereby (19) is reduced to the Navier-Stokes equation for the velocity perturbation, which upon linearization takes the form...
