It is then applied to the boundary layer to reconstruct the Blasius profile, to demonstrate flow separation, and to simulate turbulence. The significance of Thwaites' boundary layer parameter for flow separation is explained. The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, which is responsible for two-dimensional turbulence, is represented by the motion of an array of point vortices after an initial disturbance. The formation of the Von Karman vortex street downstream of a circular cylinder is described by computer simulation, and the influence of viscous diffusion is shown. For two different cylinder Reynolds numbers the vortex shedding frequencies and oscillating lift and drag forces are evaluated.","PeriodicalId":114598,"journal":{"name":"Archive: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science 1959-1982 (vols 1-23)","volume":"165 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122308740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the drain the discharge flow may have several forms; however, there are two basic regimes. At low discharge rates it resembles flow over a weir, whereas with increasing flow there is a transition to a form of orifice flow when discharge is as a jet. In both cases the discharging water is free from entrained steam and vortex formation. Correlations are given to determine the regime and, hence, the applicable head/discharge relationship for drain/drum radius ratios from 0–08 to 0–25.","PeriodicalId":114598,"journal":{"name":"Archive: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science 1959-1982 (vols 1-23)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126892922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed model can also treat processes in which the angle of impact is large and where the velocity of the sphere undergoes considerable change. Projectile trajectories which have been calculated for various conditions are presented and discussed. Numerical results for steel, aluminium alloy, and lead spheres are in good agreement with such experimental results as are available.","PeriodicalId":114598,"journal":{"name":"Archive: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science 1959-1982 (vols 1-23)","volume":"0 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134486336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect of the nonlinear behaviour on the performance characteristics of finite width journal bearings is investigated using the Prandtl model. The finite element method, using Galerkin's technique, has been used to solve the Navier-Stokes equations in cylindrical coordinates, representing the flow-field in the clearance space of a bearing using Newtonian fluids, and the non-Newtonian effect is introduced by modifying the viscosity term for the model in each iteration. The results applicable to shear-thinning (pseudoplastic) and shear-thickening (dilatant) lubricants are compared with the established results for Newtonian lubricants.","PeriodicalId":114598,"journal":{"name":"Archive: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science 1959-1982 (vols 1-23)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121116962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
