  • Lecture 3 Fluid Dynamics and Balance Equations for Reacting Flows
    Lecture 3 Fluid Dynamics and Balance Equations for Reacting Flows 3.-1 Basics: equations of continuum mechanics - balance equations for mass and momentum - balance equations for the energy and the chemical species Associated with the release of thermal energy and the increase in temperature is a local decrease in density which in turn affects the momentum balance. Therefore, all these equations are closely coupled to each other. Nevertheless, in deriving these equations we will try to point out how they can be simplified and partially uncoupled under certain assumptions. 3.-2 Balance Equations A time-independent control volume V for a balance quality F(t) The scalar product between the surface flux φf and the normal vector n determines the outflow through the surface A, a source sf the rate of production of F(t) Let us consider a general quality per unit volume f(x, t). Its integral over the finite volume V, with the time-independent boundary A is given by 3.-3 The temporal change of F is then due to the following three effects: 1. by the flux φf across the boundary A. This flux may be due to convection or molecular transport. By integration over the boundary A we obtain the net contribution which is negative, if the normal vector is assumed to direct outwards. 3.-4 2. by a local source σf within the volume. This is an essential production of partial mass by chemical reactions. Integrating the source term over the volume leads to 3. by an external induced source s. Examples are the gravitational force or thermal radiation.

  • Integral Properties for Vocoidal Theory and Applications
    INTEGRAL PROPERTIES FOR VOCOIDAL THEORY AND APPLICATIONS G.P. Bleach ABSTRACT A comparison is made between two reference frames that can each be used to define "still water" for finite amplitude waves on water of finite depth. The reference frame characterized by zero mass flux due to the waves is used to find some exact relations between the wave integral properties. The averaged Lagranian (wave action) approach and the energy/momentum approach to the interaction of finite amplitude waves with slowly-varying currents are also derived in this reference frame. Results in many cases are simpler than those in the more commonly chosen reference frame characterized by zero mean horizontal velocity under the waves. An application of the integral properties is made to Vocoidal wave theory, which is defined in the zero mass flux frame. It is shown that the rotation present in the orbital velocity field of Vocoidal waves is not always negligible. INTRODUCTION In the study of periodic surface gravity waves of finite amplitude on water of finite depth, Stokes (1847) considered two reference frames that can be used to define "still water". These are: (i) reference frame Rl, characterized by zero mean horizontal velocity beneath the wave trough; (ii) reference frame R2, which has zero mass flux associated with the waves. Stokes showed that these two reference frames are not equivalent (see section 2, equation (2.7); also Peregrine (1976)) and a choice must be made between them. Most surface gravity wave theories have used Rl to define still water; Stokes (1847) and Cokelet (1977) are examples.

  • A Glossary of Terms for Fluid Mechanics
    A Glossary of Terms for Fluid Mechanics Eleanor T. Leighton David T. Leighton, Jr. Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering University of Notre Dame © 2015 David T. Leighton, Jr. A Glossary of Terms for Fluid Mechanics E. T. Leighton D. T. Leighton University of Notre Dame In order to “walk the walk”, it is useful to first be able to “talk the talk”. Thus, we provide the following glossary of terms used in CBE30355 Transport I. It is not a comprehensive list, of course, and many additional terms, dimensionless variables, and phenomena could be listed. Still, it covers the main ones and should help you with the “language” of fluid mechanics. We have divided the terms into groups including mathematical operators, symbol definitions, defining terms and phenomena, dimensionless groups, and a few key names in fluid mechanics. The material is listed in alphabetical order in each category, however some of the material we will get to only fairly late in the course. Most of the terms, etc., are described in more detail in the class notes, in class, in the supplemental readings, or in the textbook. Mathematical Operators Anti-symmetric Tensor A tensor is anti-symmetric with respect to an index subset if it alternates sign (+/-) when any two of the subset indices are interchanged. For example: A A ijk = " jik holds when the tensor is anti-symmetric with respect to its first two indices. Note that it doesn’t have to have any symmetries with respect to the other! indices! If a tensor changes sign under exchange of any pair of its indices (such as the third order alternating tensor"ijk ), then the tensor is completely anti-symmetric.
