Velocity superposition

A fruitful approach for velocity computation in the first three zones of jets supplied from outlets with finite size was developed based on the hypothesis that momentum diffuses with distance from the source in the same manner as heat energy." 40 approach, developed by Elrod,Shepelev and Gelman, - and Regenscheit, utilizes the method of superposition of jet momentum from the multiple-jet system. These jets originate from the points with supply air veloc-... 

The discussion of the interaction of air jets supplied at some angle to each other shows that application of the method of superposition of the interacting jets momentums and surplus heat to predict velocity and temperatures in the combined flow results in inaccuracy when two unequal jets are supplied at a right angle. A different approach was undertaken in the studies of interaction of the main stream with vertical directing jets. Ti i... 

Superposition of Flows Potential flow solutions are also useful to illustrate the effect of cross-drafts on the efficiency of local exhaust hoods. In this way, an idealized uniform velocity field is superpositioned on the flow field of the exhaust opening. This is possible because Laplace s equation is a linear homogeneous differential equation. If a flow field is known to be the sum of two separate flow fields, one can combine the harmonic functions for each to describe the combined flow field. Therefore, if d)) and are each solutions to Laplace s equation, A2, where A and B are constants, is also a solution. For a two-dimensional or axisymmetric three-dimensional flow, the flow field can also be expressed in terms of the stream function. 

Similar convection-diffusion equations to the Navier-Stokes equation can be formulated for enthalpy or species concentration. In all of these formulations there is always a superposition of diffusive and convective transport of a field quantity, supplemented by source terms describing creation or destruction of the transported quantity. There are two fundamental assumptions on which the Navier-Stokes and other convection-diffusion equations are based. The first and most fundamental is the continuum hypothesis it is assumed that the fluid can be described by a scalar or vector field, such as density or velocity. In fact, the field quantities have to be regarded as local averages over a large number of particles contained in a volume element embracing the point of interest. The second hypothesis relates to the local statistical distribution of the particles in phase space the standard convection-diffusion equations rely on the assumption of local thermal equilibrium. For gas flow, this means that a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution is assumed for the velocity of the particles in the frame-of-reference co-moving with the fluid. Especially the second assumption may break dovm when gas flow at high temperature or low pressure in micro channels is considered, as will be discussed below. 

It is important to note that the velocity of the wave in the direction of propagation is not the same as the speed of movement of the medium through which the wave is traveling, as is shown by the motion of a cork on water. Whilst the wave travels across the surface of the water, the cork merely moves up and down in the same place the movement of the medium is in the vertical plane, but the wave itself travels in the horizontal plane. Another important property of wave motion is that when two or more waves traverse the same space, the resulting wave motion can be completely described by the sum of the two wave equations - the principle of superposition. Thus, if we have two waves of the same frequency v, but with amplitudes A and A2 and phase angles

resulting wave can be written as ... 

Figure 5 Typical velocity relationship of kinetic friction for a sliding contact in which friction is from adsorbed layers confined between two incommensurate walls. The kinetic friction F is normalized by the static friction Fs. At extremely small velocities v, the confined layer is close to thermal equilibrium and, consequently, F is linear in v, as to be expected from linear response theory. In an intermediate velocity regime, the velocity dependence of F is logarithmic. Instabilities or pops of the atoms can be thermally activated. At large velocities, the surface moves too quickly for thermal effects to play a role. Time-temperature superposition could be applied. All data were scaled to one reference temperature.

The principle of superposition is used to break the complicated flow into the component velocities. These component velocities will be derived in the next sections.

A general form of the electromagnetic field can be obtained from a superposition of various EM, S, and EMS modes. Thereby it should be observed that the EMS modes can have different velocity field vectors C. These wave concepts provide new possibilities in the study of problems in optics and photon physics, both when considering plane waves and axisymetric modes with associated wavepackets. 

Even in the absence of a colloid, an electrolyte solution will display electroosmotic flow through a chamber of small dimensions. Therefore the observed particle velocity is the sum of two superimposed effects, namely, the true electrophoretic velocity relative to the stationary liquid and the velocity of the liquid relative to the stationary chamber. Figure 12.10a shows the results of this superpositioning for particles tracked at different depths in the cell. The particles used in this study are cells of the bacterium Klebsiella aerogenes in phosphate buffer. Rather than calculated velocities or mobilities, Figure 12.10a shows the reciprocal of the time...

In the second place, the spectrum of 3 Lyr is a very peculiar one, characterized not only by photospheric absorption lines but also by emissions that are strong in H, and are also present in He, and by other features, which arise partly in the gaseous stream from the B8 II component and partly in the outer edges of the opaque disk that surrounds and hides the so far unobservable companion. As it has been shown by Batten and Sahade (1973), in the case of H a, and by Aylin et al. (1987), in the case of the resonance lines of C IV, Si IV and N V in the IUE ultraviolet range, the line profiles can be interpreted in terms of a superposition of two profiles, one of them a broad, relatively faint emission that shifts back and forth throughout the orbital cycle. The behavior of the radial velocities from this feature suggests that it shares roughly the expected orbital motion of the companion to the B8 II component and, therefore, that it may arise in the optically thick disk that surrounds it. 

The behavior of an edge dislocation is more complicated since its displacement field produces both shear and normal stresses. The solution consists of the superposition of two terms, each of which behave relativistically with limiting velocities corresponding to the speed of transverse shear waves and longitudinal waves, respectively [2, 4, 5]. The relative magnitudes of these terms depend upon v. 

Using this approach the +) and —) states are not coupled by the field of the ion, but are only split in energy. At high collision velocities the initial state 0) is simply projected onto the 0 + 1) state, a coherent superposition of +) and -) states, by the dipole matrix element. However, at lower velocities the change in energy of the +) and -) states during the collision allows the +) and -) states themselves to be populated rather than only a coherent superposition. The latter feature allows nondipole transitions at lower collision velocities, as observed experimentally. 

A two-dimensional rotation of a dipole we may represent as a superposition of (1) a deflection relative the symmetry axis and (2) a precession about this axis. The square of the polar velocity i) presents in Eqs. (42a) and (42b) the axial component of a kinetic energy and (1/ sini )2—the precessional component. Below we consider two limiting cases.

In macroscopic reactors, knowledge of the velocity profile in the channel cross-section is a necessary and sufficient prerequisite to describe the material transport. In microscopic dimensions down to a few micrometers, diffusion also has to be considered. In fact, without the influence of diffusion, extremely broad residence time distributions would be found because of the laminar flow conditions. Superposition of convection and diffusion is called dispersion. Taylor [91] was among the first to notice this strong dominating effect in laminar flow. It is possible to transfer his deduction to rectangular channels. A complete fluid dynamic description has been given of the flow, including effects such as the influence of the wall, the aspect ratio and a chemical wall reaction on the concentration field in the cross-section [37].
