The Model Coupling Executable Library (MCEL), developed at the University of Southern Mississippi's Center of Higher Learning, has been successfully used to couple the Coupled Ocean/Atmospheric Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) and the ocean wave model WAVEWATCH. An example of its application is shown for Hurricane Gordon, showing that two-way coupling results affects boundary layer physics differently than one-way coupling --- in this case, resulting in larger o z and, consequently, larger surface fluxes and a more intense hurricane. However, since analyzing MCEL is difficult because the wave physics is inaccurate, improvements to the wave algorithms are also part of the …
Adaptive Harmonic Balance Method For Unsteady, Nonlinear, One-Dimensional Periodic Flows, Raymond C. Maple
Adaptive Harmonic Balance Method For Unsteady, Nonlinear, One-Dimensional Periodic Flows, Raymond C. Maple
Theses and Dissertations
A new adaptive split-domain harmonic balance computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method is developed to solve highly nonlinear time-periodic flows such as those found in turbomachinery. The basic harmonic balance CFD method transforms an unsteady time-periodic problem into a steady-state problem by assuming a solution in the form of a Fourier series in time. The new method employs a unique multi-domain split-operator solution technique to remove a large-series stability restriction present in previous harmonic balance CFD approaches. In addition, the new method adapts the frequency content to the flow, starting with a small number of Fourier frequencies and augmenting the frequency …
Decomposition Of Carbon Dioxide In A Capacitively Coupled Radio Frequency Discharge, Thao Hoang Dinh
Decomposition Of Carbon Dioxide In A Capacitively Coupled Radio Frequency Discharge, Thao Hoang Dinh
Physics Theses & Dissertations
Decomposition of CO2 was studied in a capacitively coupled radio frequency discharge using Martian Simulant Gas mixture that contains 95% CO2. The discharge was operated at a gas pressure of 3 to 6 Torr and a discharge power density of less than 2.0 W/cm3. The main mechanism of the CO2 decomposition process is the electron impact dissociation and the rate of the process depends on the electron density, Ne, the concentration of CO2, and the reduced electric field, E/N. A self-consistent model was established to describe the CO …
Computational Aerodynamic Analysis Of The Flow Field About A Hypervelocity Test Sled, Andrew J. Lofthouse
Computational Aerodynamic Analysis Of The Flow Field About A Hypervelocity Test Sled, Andrew J. Lofthouse
Theses and Dissertations
The flow field about the nose section of a hypervelocity test sled is computed using computational fluid dynamics. The numerical model of the test sled corresponds to the Nike O/U narrow gage sled used in the upgrade program at the High Speed Test Track facility, Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico. The high temperatures and pressures resulting from the aerodynamic heating and loading affect the sled structure and the performance of the vehicle. The sled transitions from an air environment to a helium environment at a speed of approximately 3,300 feet per second (Mach 3 in air, Mach 1.02 in …
Fluid Dynamics And Energetics In Ideal Gas Mixtures, John D. Ramshaw
Fluid Dynamics And Energetics In Ideal Gas Mixtures, John D. Ramshaw
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
The generalization of fluid dynamics from pure to multicomponent fluids (fluid mixtures composed of different components or species) requires the introduction of new concepts, some of which are rather subtle and are less widely appreciated than they deserve to be. The purpose of this paper is to provide a simple didactic introduction to some of these concepts based on a detailed analysis of the equations governing the flow of ideal gas mixtures. The treatment is based entirely on a continuum description and makes no explicit use of the kinetic theory of gases. We include a straightforward and physically transparent derivation …
Flow Patterns In A Two-Roll Mill, Christopher Hills
Flow Patterns In A Two-Roll Mill, Christopher Hills
Articles
The two-dimensional flow of a Newtonian fluid in a rectangular box that contains two disjoint, independently-rotating, circular boundaries is studied. The flow field for this two-roll mill is determined numerically using a finite-difference scheme over a Cartesian grid with variable horizontal and vertical spacing to accommodate satisfactorily the circular boundaries. To make the streamfunction numerically determinate we insist that the pressure field is everywhere single-valued. The physical character, streamline topology and transitions of the flow are discussed for a range of geometries, rotation rates and Reynolds numbers in the underlying seven-parameter space. An account of a preliminary experimental study of …
