Introduction to Compressible Flow Dρ ≠ 0 Dt Introduction to Compressible Flow Dρ ≠ 0 Dt The density of a gas changes significantly along a streamline Compressible Flow Definition of Compressibility: the fractional change in volume of the fluid element per unit change in pressure p p + dp p p p + dp − v v dv p + dp p p + dp Compressible Flow V local velocity 1. Mach Number: M = = c speed of sound 2. Compressibility becomes important for High Speed Flows where M > 0.3 • M < 0.3 – Subsonic & incompressible • 0.3 <M < 0.8 – Subsonic & compressible • 0.8 <M < 1.2 – transonic flow – shock waves appear mixed subsonic and sonic flow regime • 1.2 <M < 3.0 - Supersonic – shock waves are present but NO subsonic flow • M > 3.0 – Hypersonic Flow, shock waves and other flow changes are very strong 1 Compressible Flow 3. Significant changes in velocity and pressure result in density variations throughout a flow field 4. Large Temperature variations result in density variations. As a result we now have two new variables we must solve for: T & ρ We need 2 new equations. We will solve: mass, linear momentum, energy and an equation of state. Important Effects of Compressibility on Flow 1. Choked Flow – a flow rate in a duct is limited by the sonic condition 2. Sound Wave/Pressure Waves – rise and fall of pressure during the passage of an acoustic/sound wave. The magnitude of the pressure change is very small. 3. Shock Waves – nearly discontinuous property changes in supersonic flow. (Explosions, high speed flight, gun firing, nuclear explosion) 4. A pressure ratio of 2:1 will cause sonic flow Applications 1. Nozzles and Diffusers and converging diverging nozzles 2. Turbines, fans & pumps 3. Throttles – flow regulators, an obstruction in a duct that controls pressure drop. 4. One Dimensional Isentropic Flow – compressible pipe flow. 2 Approach • Control volume approach • Steady, One-dimension, Uniform Flow • Additional Thermodynamics Concepts are needed • Restrict our analysis to ideal gases Thermodynamics • Equation of State – Ideal Gas Law p = ρRT R Universal Gas Constant 8314 J/(kmol ⋅ K) R = u = = = 287 J/(kg ⋅ K) M m Molecular mass of air 28.97kg/kmol Temperature is absolute and the specific volume is (volume per unit mass): 1 v = ρ Thermodynamics – Internal Energy & Enthalpy • Internal Energy – individual particle kinetic energy.

  • Che 253M Experiment No. 2 COMPRESSIBLE GAS FLOW
    Rev. 8/15 AD/GW ChE 253M Experiment No. 2 COMPRESSIBLE GAS FLOW The objective of this experiment is to familiarize the student with methods for measurement of compressible gas flow and to study gas flow under subsonic and supersonic flow conditions. The experiment is divided into three distinct parts: (1) Calibration and determination of the critical pressure ratio for a critical flow nozzle under supersonic flow conditions (2) Calculation of the discharge coefficient and Reynolds number for an orifice under subsonic (non- choked) flow conditions and (3) Determination of the orifice constants and mass discharge from a pressurized tank in a dynamic bleed down experiment under (choked) flow conditions. The experimental set up consists of a 100 psig air source branched into two manifolds: the first used for parts (1) and (2) and the second for part (3). The first manifold contains a critical flow nozzle, a NIST-calibrated in-line digital mass flow meter, and an orifice meter, all connected in series with copper piping. The second manifold contains a strain-gauge pressure transducer and a stainless steel tank, which can be pressurized and subsequently bled via a number of attached orifices. A number of NIST-calibrated digital hand held manometers are also used for measuring pressure in all 3 parts of this experiment. Assorted pressure regulators, manual valves, and pressure gauges are present on both manifolds and you are expected to familiarize yourself with the process flow, and know how to operate them to carry out the experiment. A process flow diagram plus handouts outlining the theory of operation of these devices are attached.

  • Laws of Similarity in Fluid Mechanics 21
    Laws of similarity in fluid mechanics B. Weigand1 & V. Simon2 1Institut für Thermodynamik der Luft- und Raumfahrt (ITLR), Universität Stuttgart, Germany. 2Isringhausen GmbH & Co KG, Lemgo, Germany. Abstract All processes, in nature as well as in technical systems, can be described by fundamental equations—the conservation equations. These equations can be derived using conservation princi- ples and have to be solved for the situation under consideration. This can be done without explicitly investigating the dimensions of the quantities involved. However, an important consideration in all equations used in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics is dimensional homogeneity. One can use the idea of dimensional consistency in order to group variables together into dimensionless parameters which are less numerous than the original variables. This method is known as dimen- sional analysis. This paper starts with a discussion on dimensions and about the pi theorem of Buckingham. This theorem relates the number of quantities with dimensions to the number of dimensionless groups needed to describe a situation. After establishing this basic relationship between quantities with dimensions and dimensionless groups, the conservation equations for processes in fluid mechanics (Cauchy and Navier–Stokes equations, continuity equation, energy equation) are explained. By non-dimensionalizing these equations, certain dimensionless groups appear (e.g. Reynolds number, Froude number, Grashof number, Weber number, Prandtl number). The physical significance and importance of these groups are explained and the simplifications of the underlying equations for large or small dimensionless parameters are described. Finally, some examples for selected processes in nature and engineering are given to illustrate the method. 1 Introduction If we compare a small leaf with a large one, or a child with its parents, we have the feeling that a ‘similarity’ of some sort exists.

  • A Semi-Hydrostatic Theory of Gravity-Dominated Compressible Flow

E-mail: [email protected] 1 3 Abstract 4 From Hamilton’s least action principle, compressible equations of motion with density diag- 5 nosed from potential temperature through hydrostatic balance are derived. Slaving density 6 to potential temperature suppresses the degrees of freedom supporting the propagation of 7 acoustic waves and results in a sound-proof system. The linear normal modes and dispersion 8 relationship for an isothermal state of rest on f- and β- planes are accurate from hydrostatic 9 to non-hydrostatic scales, except for deep internal gravity waves. Especially the Lamb wave 10 and long Rossby waves are not distorted, unlike with anelastic or pseudo-incompressible 11 systems. 12 Compared to similar equations derived by Arakawa and Konor (2009), the semi-hydrostatic 13 system derived here possesses an additional term in the horizontal momentum budget. This 14 term is an apparent force resulting from the vertical coordinate not being the actual height 15 of an air parcel, but its hydrostatic height, i.e. the hypothetical height it would have after 16 the atmospheric column it belongs to has reached hydrostatic balance through adiabatic 17 vertical displacements of air parcels. The Lagrange multiplier λ introduced in Hamilton’s 18 principle to slave density to potential temperature is identified as the non-hydrostatic ver- 19 tical displacement, i.e.

The Brazilian VHA 14-X S is a technological demonstrator of a hypersonic airbreathing propulsion system based on supersonic combustion (scramjet) to fly at Earth’s atmosphere at 30km altitude at Mach number 7, designed at the Prof. Henry T. Nagamatsu Laboratory of Aerothermodynamics and Hypersonics, at the Institute for Advanced Studies. Basically, scramjet is a fully integrated airbreathing aeronautical engine that uses the oblique/conical shock waves generated during the hypersonic flight, to promote compression and deceleration of freestream atmospheric air at the inlet of the scramjet.

  • No Acoustical Change” for Propeller-Driven Small Airplanes and Commuter Category Airplanes
    4/15/03 AC 36-4C Appendix 4 Appendix 4 EQUIVALENT PROCEDURES AND DEMONSTRATING "NO ACOUSTICAL CHANGE” FOR PROPELLER-DRIVEN SMALL AIRPLANES AND COMMUTER CATEGORY AIRPLANES 1. Equivalent Procedures Equivalent Procedures, as referred to in this AC, are aircraft measurement, flight test, analytical or evaluation methods that differ from the methods specified in the text of part 36 Appendices A and B, but yield essentially the same noise levels. Equivalent procedures must be approved by the FAA. Equivalent procedures provide some flexibility for the applicant in conducting noise certification, and may be approved for the convenience of an applicant in conducting measurements that are not strictly in accordance with the 14 CFR part 36 procedures, or when a departure from the specifics of part 36 is necessitated by field conditions. The FAA’s Office of Environment and Energy (AEE) must approve all new equivalent procedures. Subsequent use of previously approved equivalent procedures such as flight intercept typically do not need FAA approval. 2. Acoustical Changes An acoustical change in the type design of an airplane is defined in 14 CFR section 21.93(b) as any voluntary change in the type design of an airplane which may increase its noise level; note that a change in design that decreases its noise level is not an acoustical change in terms of the rule. This definition in section 21.93(b) differs from an earlier definition that applied to propeller-driven small airplanes certificated under 14 CFR part 36 Appendix F. In the earlier definition, acoustical changes were restricted to (i) any change or removal of a muffler or other component of an exhaust system designed for noise control, or (ii) any change to an engine or propeller installation which would increase maximum continuous power or propeller tip speed.

  • Chapter 5 Dimensional Analysis and Similarity
    Chapter 5 Dimensional Analysis and Similarity Motivation. In this chapter we discuss the planning, presentation, and interpretation of experimental data. We shall try to convince you that such data are best presented in dimensionless form. Experiments which might result in tables of output, or even mul- tiple volumes of tables, might be reduced to a single set of curves—or even a single curve—when suitably nondimensionalized. The technique for doing this is dimensional analysis. Chapter 3 presented gross control-volume balances of mass, momentum, and en- ergy which led to estimates of global parameters: mass flow, force, torque, total heat transfer. Chapter 4 presented infinitesimal balances which led to the basic partial dif- ferential equations of fluid flow and some particular solutions. These two chapters cov- ered analytical techniques, which are limited to fairly simple geometries and well- defined boundary conditions. Probably one-third of fluid-flow problems can be attacked in this analytical or theoretical manner. The other two-thirds of all fluid problems are too complex, both geometrically and physically, to be solved analytically. They must be tested by experiment. Their behav- ior is reported as experimental data. Such data are much more useful if they are ex- pressed in compact, economic form. Graphs are especially useful, since tabulated data cannot be absorbed, nor can the trends and rates of change be observed, by most en- gineering eyes. These are the motivations for dimensional analysis. The technique is traditional in fluid mechanics and is useful in all engineering and physical sciences, with notable uses also seen in the biological and social sciences.

  • Introduction to Compressible Computational Fluid Dynamics James S
    Introduction to Compressible Computational Fluid Dynamics James S. Sochacki Department of Mathematics James Madison University [email protected] Abstract This document is intended as an introduction to computational fluid dynamics at the upper undergraduate level. It is assumed that the student has had courses through three dimensional calculus and some computer programming experience with numer- ical algorithms. A course in differential equations is recommended. This document is intended to be used by undergraduate instructors and students to gain an under- standing of computational fluid dynamics. The document can be used in a classroom or research environment at the undergraduate level. The idea of this work is to have the students use the modules to discover properties of the equations and then relate this to the physics of fluid dynamics. Many issues, such as rarefactions and shocks are left out of the discussion because the intent is to have the students discover these concepts and then study them with the instructor. The document is used in part of the undergraduate MATH 365 - Computation Fluid Dynamics course at James Madi- son University (JMU) and is part of the joint NSF Grant between JMU and North Carolina Central University (NCCU): A Collaborative Computational Sciences Pro- gram. This document introduces the full three-dimensional Navier Stokes equations. As- sumptions to these equations are made to derive equations that are accessible to un- dergraduates with the above prerequisites. These equations are approximated using finite difference methods. The development of the equations and finite difference methods are contained in this document. Software modules and their corresponding documentation in Fortran 90, Maple and Matlab can be downloaded from the web- site: http://www.math.jmu.edu/~jim/compressible.html.

Received 15 October 2018; Accepted (in revised version) 23 January 2019 Abstract. In this paper, we introduce an extension of a splitting method for singularly perturbed equations, the so-called RS-IMEX splitting [Kaiser et al., Journal of Scientific Computing, 70(3), 1390–1407], to deal with the fully compressible Euler equations. The straightforward application of the splitting yields sub-equations that are, due to the occurrence of complex eigenvalues, not hyperbolic. A modification, slightly changing the convective flux, is introduced that overcomes this issue. It is shown that the split- ting gives rise to a discretization that respects the low-Mach number limit of the Euler equations; numerical results using finite volume and discontinuous Galerkin schemes show the potential of the discretization.
