In this paper the turbulent flow in a cyclonic separator is investigated with large-eddy simulation (LES) based on a cylindrical coordinate spectral-element-Fourier method (SEM) using the Smagorinsky subgrid-scale model in its standard and dynamic formulation. The results show slight model differences, but both have poor agreement with measurements. The cylindrical-coordinate system geometry us...

The buckling analysis of stiffened cylindrical shells by rings and stringers made of functionally graded materials subjected to axial compression loading is presented. It is assumed that the material properties vary as a power form of the thickness coordinate variable. The fundamental relations, the equilibrium and stability equations are derived using the first order shear deformation theory. ...

A new PE model for solving three-dimensional, forward and backward sound propagation in a cylindrical coordinate system is presented. The model marches a wave field in the radial direction including the azimuthal diffraction effects, and solves for a backscattered field based on a three-dimensional, single scattering approach. A periodic sidewall boundary condition is applied for computations i...

In this paper, a numerical method with high order accuracy and high resolution was developed to simulate the Richtmyer-Meshkov(RM) instability driven by cylindrical shock waves. Compressible Euler equations in cylindrical coordinate were adopted for the cylindrical geometry and a third order accurate group control scheme was adopted to discretize the equations. Moreover, an adaptive grid techni...

We prove that bounded Beltrami fields are symmetric if a proportionality factor depends on two variables in the cylindrical coordinate and admits regular level set diffeomorphic to cylinder or torus.

In this work, a model is proposed to predict acoustic waves generated in a homogeneous and isotropic cylindrical cavity by a laser line source. The Fourier series expansion is introduced for one spatial coordinate to solve this transient response problem. Theoretical displacements are obtained for an aluminum cylindrical cavity of internal diameter 40 mm. The corresponding displacements are obs...
