Thermal Effects in a Two-Dimensional Hybrid Elastic Structure

Two-dimensional elastic turbulence.

We report numerical evidence of elastic turbulence phenomenology in a two-dimensional periodic Kolmogorov flow. By direct numerical simulations of the Oldroyd-B viscoelastic model at very small Reynolds numbers, we find that above the elastic instability threshold the flow develops an elastic turbulent regime. We observe that both the turbulent drag and the Lyapunov exponent increase with the W...

the effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends

flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...

Quasi-two-dimensional transfer of elastic waves.

A theory for multiple scattering of elastic waves is presented in a heterogeneous plate bounded by two flat free surfaces, whose horizontal size is infinite and whose transverse size is smaller than the mean free path of the waves. We derive a time-dependent, quasi-two-dimensional radiative transfer equation (i.e., two horizontal dimensions with a finite number of vertical mode) that describes ...
