Hopf bifurcation in viscous incompressible flow down an inclined plane: a numerical approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article we investigate numerically a Hopf bifurcation phenomenon for a viscous incompressible flow down an inclined plane. This problem has been discussed by Nishida et al. who proved the existence of periodic solutions bifurcating from the steady flow. Using a computational methodology based on finite elements for the space discretization and on operator splitting for the time discretization, we have been able to reproduce the results predicted by Nishida et al.

Instabilities of Thin Viscous Liquid Film Flowing down a Uniformly Heated Inclined Plane
Instabilities of a thin viscous film flowing down a uniformly heated plane are investigated in this study. The heating generates a surface tension gradient that induces thermocapillary stresses on the free surface. Thus, the film is not only influenced by gravity and mean surface tension but also the thermocapillary force is acting on the free surface. Moreover, the heat transfer at the free su...

The main goal of this article is to investigate the capability of an operator-splitting/finite elements based methodology at handling accurately incompressible viscous flow at large Reynolds number (Re) in regions with corners and curved boundaries. To achieve this goal the authors have selected a wall-driven flow in a semi-circular cavity. On the basis of the numerical experiments reported in ...
متن کاملEffects of Slip and Heat Transfer on MHD Peristaltic Flow in An Inclined Asymmetric Channel
Peristaltic transport of an incompressible electrically conducting viscous fluid in an inclined planar asymmetric channel is studied. The asymmetry is produced by choosing the peristaltic wave train on the walls to have different amplitude and phase. The closed form solutions of momentum and energy equation in presence of viscous dissipation term are obtained for long wave length and low Reynol...
