Local and Global Instability of Buoyant Jets and Plumes XXIV ICTAM, 21-26 August 2016, Montreal, Canada LOCAL AND GLOBAL INSTABILITY OF BUOYANT JETS AND PLUMES Patrick Huerre1a), R.V.K. Chakravarthy1 & Lutz Lesshafft 1 1Laboratoire d’Hydrodynamique (LadHyX), Ecole Polytechnique, Paris, France Summary The local and global linear stability of buoyant jets and plumes has been studied as a function of the Richardson number Ri and density ratio S in the low Mach number approximation. Only the m = 0 axisymmetric mode is shown to become globally unstable, provided that the local absolute instability is strong enough. The helical mode of azimuthal wavenumber m = 1 is always globally stable. A sensitivity analysis indicates that in buoyant jets (low Ri), shear is the dominant contributor to the growth rate, while, for plumes (large Ri), it is the buoyancy. A theoretical prediction of the Strouhal number of the self-sustained oscillations in helium jets is obtained that is in good agreement with experimental observations over seven decades of Richardson numbers. INTRODUCTION Buoyant jets and plumes occur in a wide variety of environmental and industrial contexts, for instance fires, accidental gas releases, ventilation flows, geothermal vents, and volcanic eruptions. Understanding the onset of instabilities leading to turbulence is a research challenge of great practical and fundamental interest. Somewhat surprisingly, there have been relatively few studies of the linear stability properties of buoyant jets and plumes, in contrast to the related purely momentum driven classical jet. In the present study, local and global stability analyses are conducted to account for the self-sustained oscillations experimentally observed in buoyant jets of helium and helium-air mixtures [1]. FORMULATION AND METHODOLOGY The flow is assumed to be governed by the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in the low Mach number approximation, a feature that allows for large density variations but filters out acoustic waves. In the limit of small density variations, this system reduces to the Boussinesq approximation. The steady axisymmetric base flow is obtained by resorting to the Newton-Raphson technique for given hyperbolic tangent axial velocity and density profiles at the inlet. Let R denote the inlet radius, ρj and Uj the inlet density and axial velocity and ρ∞ the outer density. The most important parameters of the 2 problem are then the Richardson number Ri = gR(ρ∞ - ρj)/(ρjUj ) and the density ratio S = ρ∞ /ρj with Ri and S in the range 10-4 < Ri < 103 and 1 < S < 7. At low Richardson numbers, buoyancy forces are much smaller than inertia forces, in which case the base flow is referred to as a buoyant jet, while at large Richardson numbers, buoyancy is dominant and the base flow is said to be a plume. The pure jet and pure plume are reached in the limit Ri = 0 and Ri = ∞ respectively. The linearized system of partial differential equations associated with the non-parallel base flow then gives rise to a two- dimensional eigenvalue problem in the axial and radial directions, where the eigenvalue is the complex circular frequency ω = ωr + iωi of frequency ωr and temporal growth rate ωi. A suitable finite-element discretization of the system followed by the implementation of a shift-invert scheme then leads to the determination of the eigenvalues and associated two- dimensional eigenfunctions. The same methodology is applied to the locally parallel base state at each axial station to compute the eigenvalues ω of the local instability problem as a function of axial wavenumber k and azimuthal wavenumber m. The convectively/absolutely unstable nature of the base flow is then readily determined as shown in [2] and [3]. LOCAL AND GLOBAL INSTABILITY CHARACTERISTICS For buoyant jets (low Ri), the axisymmetric m = 0 global spectrum typically displays a single unstable discrete frequency, whereas for plumes (large Ri), it is composed of several unstable discrete modes with a maximum growth rate and corresponding frequency that are larger by two or three orders of magnitude. The local and global instability results may be summarized in the Ri – S state diagram displayed in Figure 1. As the density ratio S and the Richardson number Ri increase along a diagonal line, the base flow changes from locally convectively unstable (white region) to locally absolutely unstable (blue and red regions) as the zero absolute growth rate neutral curve (thin line) is crossed. As the streamwise extent of the absolutely unstable domain reaches a critical size, the base flow becomes globally unstable (red region) as the neutral global stability curve (thick line) is crossed. Buoyant jets (low Ri) successively experience all three qualitative states as S increases while plumes are much more unstable and exhibit a rapid transition to global instability. The dip in the global neutral curve at intermediate Ri’s is due to a shift from an inertia driven instability mechanism for buoyant jets to a buoyancy dominated mechanism for plumes. No globally unstable discrete frequency is obtained for the m = 1 helical mode, but the downstream sponge region needs to be carefully tuned in order to stabilize the continuous spectrum, as in classical jets. A local stability analysis [2] in the Boussinesq approximation framework (S close to unity), recently reported that the m = 1 mode is the only a) Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] one to become absolutely unstable. It may be concluded that the magnitude of the absolute growth rate is then too weak to drive an unstable global mode. Figure 1: Instability regions and associated neutral curves in Ri – S plane (log-log scale) for the axisymmetric mode m = 0 at Reynolds number 200. White region: locally convectively unstable; Blue region: locally absolutely unstable; Red region: globally unstable (and absolutely unstable). A sensitivity analysis on the relative contributions to the global growth rate and frequency of shear, buoyancy and other terms in the linear dynamical operator, reveals that shear is the dominant factor for the global instability of buoyant jets while buoyancy becomes dominant for plumes. GLOBAL FREQUENCY AND SELF-SUSTAINED OSCILLATIONS Light jets have been known for some time to give rise to axisymmetric self-sustained oscillations. Prior theoretical investigations have relied on local stability approaches, thereby implicitly assuming that the base flow is weakly non-parallel. The predictions of the global analysis are compared in Figure 2 with the experimental observations of Cetegen & Kasper [1]. The blue line represents the empirical formula resulting from experiments and the red line the theoretical prediction of the present study.

The linear global mode theory is seen to closely agree with the observations over 7 decades of Richardson numbers. For buoyant jets (low Ri), the Strouhal number is almost constant with Ri, while for plumes (large Ri), it continuously increases.

B. B. Filhoa a Faculty of Chemical Engineering, Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU), Av. João Naves de Ávila 2121 Bloco 1K, Uberlândia, MG, Brazil. [email protected] Abstract The art work of this present paper is to show properly conditions and aspects to reach stability in the process control, as also to avoid instability, by using digital PID controllers, with the intention of help the industrial community. The discussed control strategy used to reach stability is to manipulate variables that are directly proportional to their controlled variables. To validate and to put the exposed principles into practice, it was done two simulations of a continuous fermentation tank process start-up with the yeast strain S. Cerevisiae NRRL-Y-132, in which the substrate feed stream contains different types of sugar derived from cane bagasse hydrolysate. These tests were carried out through the resolution of conservation laws, more specifically mass and energy balances, in which the fluid temperature and level inside the tank were the controlled variables. The results showed the facility in stabilize the system by following the exposed proceedings.

  • Control Theory
    Control theory S. Simrock DESY, Hamburg, Germany Abstract In engineering and mathematics, control theory deals with the behaviour of dynamical systems. The desired output of a system is called the reference. When one or more output variables of a system need to follow a certain ref- erence over time, a controller manipulates the inputs to a system to obtain the desired effect on the output of the system. Rapid advances in digital system technology have radically altered the control design options. It has become routinely practicable to design very complicated digital controllers and to carry out the extensive calculations required for their design. These advances in im- plementation and design capability can be obtained at low cost because of the widespread availability of inexpensive and powerful digital processing plat- forms and high-speed analog IO devices. 1 Introduction The emphasis of this tutorial on control theory is on the design of digital controls to achieve good dy- namic response and small errors while using signals that are sampled in time and quantized in amplitude. Both transform (classical control) and state-space (modern control) methods are described and applied to illustrative examples. The transform methods emphasized are the root-locus method of Evans and fre- quency response. The state-space methods developed are the technique of pole assignment augmented by an estimator (observer) and optimal quadratic-loss control. The optimal control problems use the steady-state constant gain solution. Other topics covered are system identification and non-linear control. System identification is a general term to describe mathematical tools and algorithms that build dynamical models from measured data.

  • The Counter-Propagating Rossby-Wave Perspective on Baroclinic Instability

Part III: Primitive-equation disturbances on the sphere 1∗ 2 1 3 CORE By J. METHVEN , E. HEIFETZ , B. J. HOSKINS and C. H. BISHOPMetadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk 1 Provided by Central Archive at the University of Reading University of Reading, UK 2Tel-Aviv University, Israel 3Naval Research Laboratories/UCAR, Monterey, USA (Received 16 February 2004; revised 28 September 2004) SUMMARY Baroclinic instability of perturbations described by the linearized primitive equations, growing on steady zonal jets on the sphere, can be understood in terms of the interaction of pairs of counter-propagating Rossby waves (CRWs). The CRWs can be viewed as the basic components of the dynamical system where the Hamil- tonian is the pseudoenergy and each CRW has a zonal coordinate and pseudomomentum. The theory holds for adiabatic frictionless flow to the extent that truncated forms of pseudomomentum and pseudoenergy are globally conserved. These forms focus attention on Rossby wave activity. Normal mode (NM) dispersion relations for realistic jets are explained in terms of the two CRWs associated with each unstable NM pair. Although derived from the NMs, CRWs have the conceptual advantage that their structure is zonally untilted, and can be anticipated given only the basic state. Moreover, their zonal propagation, phase-locking and mutual interaction can all be understood by ‘PV-thinking’ applied at only two ‘home-bases’— potential vorticity (PV) anomalies at one home-base induce circulation anomalies, both locally and at the other home-base, which in turn can advect the PV gradient and modify PV anomalies there.

Received: 17 May 2018; Accepted: 27 June 2018; Published: 16 July 2018 Abstract: As a kind of non-Newtonian fluid with special rheological features, the study of the breakup of power-law liquid jets has drawn more interest due to its extensive engineering applications. This paper investigated the effect of gas media confinement and asymmetry on the instability of power-law plane jets by linear instability analysis. The gas asymmetric conditions mainly result from unequal gas media thickness and aerodynamic forces on both sides of a liquid jet. The results show a limited gas space will strengthen the interaction between gas and liquid and destabilize the power-law liquid jet. Power-law fluid is easier to disintegrate into droplets in asymmetric gas medium than that in the symmetric case. The aerodynamic asymmetry destabilizes para-sinuous mode, whereas stabilizes para-varicose mode. For a large Weber number, the aerodynamic asymmetry plays a more significant role on jet instability compared with boundary asymmetry.

  • 9 Fluid Instabilities
    9 Fluid Instabilities 9.1 Stability of a shear flow In many situations, gaseous flows can be subject to fluid instabilities in which small perturbations can rapidly flow, thereby tapping a source of free energy. An impor- tant example for this are Kelvin-Helmholtz and Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities, which we discuss in this chapter. We consider a flow in the x-direction, which in the lower half-space z < 0 has velocity U1 and density ρ1, whereas in the upper half-space the gas streams with U2 and has density ρ2. In addition there can be a homogeneous gravitational field g pointing into the negative z-direction. Let us assume the flow can, at least approximately, be treated as an incompressible potential flow. Let the velocity field in the upper and lower halves be given by upper half: v2 = rΦ2 for z > 0 (9.1) lower half: v1 = rΦ1 for z < 0 (9.2) The equation of motion for an incompressible gas with constant density can be written as @v P + (v · r)v = g − r : (9.3) @t ρ If we use the identity (v · r)v = rv2=2 − r × v, together with the assumption of a potential flow v = rΦ (and hence r × v = 0), we can write the equation of motion as @Φ 1 P r + r v2 − g + r = 0 (9.4) @t 2 ρ 1 9 Fluid Instabilities Writing the gravitational acceleration as g = −g^ez, this implies @Φ 1 P + v2 + gz + = const: (9.5) @t 2 ρ which is Bernoulli's theorem, a useful result that we will exploit later on.

  • Causes of Reduced North Atlantic Storm Activity in a CCSM3
    15 SEPTEMBER 2009 D O N O H O E A N D B A T T I S T I 4793 Causes of Reduced North Atlantic Storm Activity in a CAM3 Simulation of the Last Glacial Maximum AARON DONOHOE AND DAVID S. BATTISTI Department of Atmospheric Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington (Manuscript received 7 August 2008, in final form 6 April 2009) ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to determine how an atmosphere with enhanced mean-state baroclinity can support weaker baroclinic wave activity than an atmosphere with weak mean-state baroclinity. As a case study, a Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) model simulation previously documented to have reduced baroclinic storm activity, relative to the modern-day climate (simulated by the same model), despite having an enhanced midlatitude temperature gradient, is considered. Several candidate mechanisms are evaluated to explain this apparent paradox. A linear stability analysis is first performed on the jet in the modern-day and the LGM simulation; the latter has relatively strong barotropic velocity shear. It was found that the LGM mean state is more unstable to baroclinic disturbances than the modern-day mean state, although the three-dimensional jet structure does stabilize the LGM jet relative to the Eady growth rate. Next, feature tracking was used to assess the storm track seeding and temporal growth of disturbances. It was found that the reduction in LGM eddy activity, relative to the modern-day eddy activity, is due to the smaller magnitude of the upper-level storms entering the North Atlantic domain in the LGM. Although the LGM storms do grow more rapidly in the North Atlantic than their modern-day counterparts, the storminess in the LGM is reduced because storms seeding the region of enhanced baroclinity are weaker.

  • Hydrodynamic Stability
    Part III | Hydrodynamic Stability Based on lectures by C. P. Caulfield Notes taken by Dexter Chua Michaelmas 2017 These notes are not endorsed by the lecturers, and I have modified them (often significantly) after lectures. They are nowhere near accurate representations of what was actually lectured, and in particular, all errors are almost surely mine. Developing an understanding by which \small" perturbations grow, saturate and modify fluid flows is central to addressing many challenges of interest in fluid mechanics. Furthermore, many applied mathematical tools of much broader relevance have been developed to solve hydrodynamic stability problems, and hydrodynamic stability theory remains an exceptionally active area of research, with several exciting new developments being reported over the last few years. In this course, an overview of some of these recent developments will be presented. After an introduction to the general concepts of flow instability, presenting a range of examples, the major content of this course will be focussed on the broad class of flow instabilities where velocity \shear" and fluid inertia play key dynamical roles. Such flows, typically characterised by sufficiently\high" Reynolds number Ud/ν, where U and d are characteristic velocity and length scales of the flow, and ν is the kinematic viscosity of the fluid, are central to modelling flows in the environment and industry. They typically demonstrate the key role played by the redistribution of vorticity within the flow, and such vortical flow instabilities often trigger the complex, yet hugely important process of \transition to turbulence". A hierarchy of mathematical approaches will be discussed to address a range of \stability" problems, from more traditional concepts of \linear" infinitesimal normal mode perturbation energy growth on laminar parallel shear flows to transient, inherently nonlinear perturbation growth of general measures of perturbation magnitude over finite time horizons where flow geometry and/or fluid properties play a dominant role.

Introduction “… two fluids of different densities superposed one over the other (or accelerated towards each other); the instability of the plane interface between the two fluids, when it occurs, is called the Rayleigh-Taylor instability” [1]. “If the horizontal surface of a liquid at rest under gravity is displaced into the form of regular small corrugations and then released, standing oscillatory waves are produced. Theoretically, a liquid could exist in a state of unstable equilibrium with a flat lower horizontal surface supported by air pressure” [3]. The physics involved are rather intuitive: “heavy stuff falls, light stuff rises”. The intuitive nature of stability can be seen with a ball at the bottom of a valley contrasted to the unstable situation of a ball set on top of a hill. A ball on the top of a hill, given a slight nudge in any direction, will continue in that direction gaining speed until it reaches the bottom of the hill.
