Microscopic Surface Textures Created by Interfacial Flow Instabilities
In nature, microscopic surface textures impact useful function, such as the drag reduction of shark skin (Dean & Bhushan, 2010) and superhydrophobicity of the lotus leaf(Pan, Kota, Mabry, & Tuteja, 2013). In this study, we explore these phenomena by re-creating microscopic surface textures via the method of interfacial flow instability in drying polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) acetone solutions....
متن کاملModeling and control of compressor flow instabilities
Stable operation of both axial and radial compressors is constrained by the occurence of aerodynamic flow instabilities: rotating stall and surge. Developments in the understanding of the physics behind these instabilities and ideas of how t o stabilize the compressor system, have opened the door t o a new era in the field of compressor control. This study gives an overview of the current state...
متن کاملPolygonal instabilities on interfacial vorticities.
We report the results of a theoretical investigation of the stability of a toroidal vortex bound by an interface. Two distinct instability mechanisms are identified that rely on, respectively, surface tension and fluid inertia, either of which may prompt the transformation from a circular to a polygonal torus. Our results are discussed in the context of three experiments, a toroidal vortex ring...
متن کاملControl of Nozzle Flow Using Microjets at Supersonic Mach Regime
This article reports the active control of base flows using the experimental procedure. Active control of base pressure helps in reducing the base drag in aerodynamic devices having suddenly expanded flows. Active control in the form of microjets having 0.5 mm radius placed at forty-five degrees apart is employed to control the base pressure. The Mach numbers of the present analysis are 1.7, 2....
متن کاملNumerical prediction of interfacial instabilities: Sharp interface method (SIM)
We introduce a sharp interface method (SIM) for the direct numerical simulation of unstable fluid–fluid interfaces. The method is based on the level set approach and the structured adaptive mesh refinement technology, endowed with a corridor of irregular, cut-cell grids that resolve the interfacial region to third-order spatial accuracy. Key in that regard are avoidance of numerical mixing, and...
