This work shows quantitatively the pronounced differences between the density equilibration of very compressible dense fluids in Earth's gravity and those in microgravity. The work was performed onsite at the NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field and is complete. Full details are given in references 1 and 2. Liquid-vapor critical fluids (e.g., water) at their critical temperature and pressure, are very compressible. They collapse under their own weight in Earth's gravity, allowing only a...

We present results of experiments on very-high Mach number ( 100) shocks and very-high Mach number and Reynolds number ( 100, 106) turbulence. Such high Mach number hydrodynamics are initiated with a powerful laser pulse driver. We show that shocks created with a laser driver follow the Taylor-Sedov self-similar solution and scale via the Sachs scaling law just like shocks created by more traditional methods. In one experiment we examined laser- produced-shock solid-surface interactions and...

A series of progressively finer grid systems to calculate the single jet in cross-flow experimentally measured were employed. The experimental measurements provide a collection of velocities, turbulence intensities, and jet concentration profiles with measurements of the inlet field. The use of a series of progressively finer grid systems allows a differentiation between numerical errors and the hydrodynamic modeling assumptions embodied in the 3D combustor code.

The purpose of this thesis is to determine the feasibility of lengthening the current DDG-51 ARLEIGH BURKE class destroyers and the resulting effects on the hydrostatics and hydrodynamics. A modified repeat of a current, proven ship design would offer a more cost-effective solution for the acquisition of ships to reach the U.S. Navy goal of a 313-ship fleet in the 30-year shipbuilding plan. An analysis is performed to determine a proposed length that would be added to the ship at the parallel...

A general physics based hydrodynamic flow model is developed that predicts the three-dimensional six degrees of freedom free fall time history of a circular cylinder through the water column to impact with an unspecified bottom. Accurate vertical impact velocity and impact angle parameters are required inputs to subsequent portions of any Impact Mine Burial Model. The model vertical impact velocity and impact angle are compared with experimental data, vertical impact velocities and impact angle...

Professor R. D. Richtmyer has described a finite difference method for the computation of hydrodynamic flows which contain a shock. This method uses the Eulerian form of the hydrodynamic equations, is explicit, is of second order accuracy, and is based on shock fitting rather than the introduction of artificial viscosity. This paper describes the result of numerical computations using a modification of this finite difference method. The method is applied to a one-dimensional problem for which a...

Wind waves and swell dominate the hydrodynamic and sediment transport processes on many continental shelves and beaches, affect underwater acoustics, and play an important role in remote sensing applications. Wave prediction in coastal environments is a challenging task because waves are affected by many processes, including scattering by seafloor topography, strong nonlinear interactions, wave breaking, and friction in the bottom boundary layer. Several of these processes are poorly understood...

A hydrodynamic model describing water movement and tidal elevation is formulated, computed, and used to provide basic data about water quality in natural systems. The hydrodynamic model is based on two-dimensional, unsteady flow equations. The water mass is considered to be reasonably mixed such that integration (averaging) in the depth direction is a valid restriction. Convective acceleration, the Coriolis force, wind and bottom interactions are included as contributing terms in the momentum...

Hydrodynamic simulations of exploding copper foils, which are irradiated on one side by 1.06 micron laser light, indicated that peak axial electron number density is more easily controlled with split-foil target design. Results from a series of simulations with solid copper foils that range in width from 500A to 1500A show that while peak electron temperature and time of burnthrough can be varied, evolved electron number densities are approximately bounded from above by 3 X 10 to the 20th power...

The hydrodynamic pressure distribution has been measured on the SQS-26 sonar dome of a CGN-38 Class ship model. Experiments were conducted primarily in head regular wave conditions; however, some data was collected in irregular head waves and in regular and irregular waves at 45 degress off the port bow. Regular wave responses are presented in the form of response amplitude operators and the irregular wave results are presented as significant values of response. (Author)

A mathematical analysis is developed for the hydrodynamic problem of a two-dimensional planing surface which is heaving sinusoidally. From the assumptions of small angle of attack and small amplitudes of motion, it is possible to formulate a linear problem. Gravity is neglected. A condition is developed for predicting instability of the steady forward motion.

A model for the propeller-singing phenomenon considered as a self- excited oscillation is presented to interpret the finding of a recent experimental work; viz., that, although the singing frequency roughly obeys the well-known Strouhal relation, once the strong singing state has been established, the frequency is kept constant through a fairly wide range of flow velocity, and consequently the frequencyversus-velocity diagram exhibits step and jump characteristics. The model presented is a...

An attempt is made to develop a simple yet accurate gas breakdown model which can be easily coupled to the hydrodynamic equations governing fluid flow in laser-target interactions. The accuracy of three relatively simple models is investigated. Each is compared with the more accurate and complex quantum kinetic model. A gas consisting of a single monatomic species is assumed and attention is restricted to the early portion of the electron cascade. A temperature model is found to agree...

A hydrodynamic air bearing with a compliment surface is used in the gas generator of an upgraded automotive gas turbine engine. In the prototype design, the compliant surface is a thin foil spot welded at one end to the bearing cartridge. During operation, the foil failed along the line of spot welds which acted as a series of stress concentrators. Because of its higher degree of geometric uniformity, electron beam welding of the foil was selected as an alternative to spot welding. Room...

The primary thrust of this study was toward a more complete understanding of general aspects of acoustic cavitation. The effect of long- chain polymer additives on the cavitation threshold was investigated to determine if they reduced the acoustic cavitation threshold in a similar manner to the observed reduction in the cavitation index in hydrodynamic cavitation. Measurements were made of the acoustic cavitation threshold as a function of polymer concentration for additives such as guar gum...

Wave generated oscillatory currents along the ocean floor provide one of the more important forces participating in the erosion, transportation, and deposition of marine sediments. These currents are especially active in the eulitorial zone which ranges from the high tide level to a depth of 150 feet. Significant currents in the sublittoral zone, which continues from the lower border of the eulittoral zone to a depth of 600 feet or the edge of the continental shelf, are generated only by...

A theoretical model which explains basic properties of radar imaging of underwater bottom topography in tidal channels is presented. The surface roughness modulation is described by weak hydrodynamic interaction theory in the relaxation time approximation. In contrast to previous theories on short wave modulation by long ocean waves, a different approximation is used to describe short wave modulation by tidal flow over underwater bottom topography. The modulation depth is proportional to the...

The use of similarity flows is discussed in certain hydrodynamic impact problems, as a basis for approximate analytical solutions. After a qualitative discussion of various ways in which such solutions may be obtained, a single derivation is obtained of a class of oneparameter similarity flows for problems in 1, 2 and 3 dimensions, which includes substantially all those used previously, and allows the superposition of constant uniform motions. The perturbation equations which relate the...

The researchers formulated a theory to describe and calculate the dynamical dielectric response of classical interacting molecular liquids in terms of their corresponding static response functions. There are two basic ideas in this approach. One idea is to use a local effective field to tale into account the long range coherent effects of the molecular interactions. These local fields are derived from the static structural properties of the liquid. The other idea to calculate the self-part of...

Over the past two decades, several two-phase-flow interior ballistic codes have been developed. Generally, they have treated ignition-induced pressure waves as a hydrodynamic problem which arises from the ignition stimulus, the propellant geometry, the path of flame-spreading in the propellant bed, and the interaction of charge and chamber. Ignition and combustion have been treated as a simple process, with convectively-driven inert heating of the propellant until a surface-temperature...

The galaxy merging is investigated with hydrodynamical processes taken into account. For this purpose, the 3D calculations are performed by the use of a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) scheme combined with an N-body scheme. In these calculations, we find a new merging criterion and the dependence of the central phase space density of merger remnants upon the gas fraction in progenitors. It is concluded that ellipticals can be formed just by merging of fairly gas-rich primordial galaxies,...

Internal fluid flows are subject not only to self-sustained oscillations of the purely hydrodynamic type but also to the coupling of the instability with the acoustic mode of the surrounding cavity. This situation is common to turbomachinery, since flow instabilities are confined within a flow path where the acoustic wavelength is typically smaller than the dimensions of the cavity and flow speeds are low enough to allow resonances. When acoustic coupling occurs, the fluctuations can become so...
