In this paper, a rigid thickless lamina is immersed in a quiescent viscous fluid and it undergoes transverse finite amplitude harmonic oscillations near a solid surface. The surrounding flow physics is computed through the lattice Boltzmann method. In order to account for the presence of the...

In the process of heavy oil thermal recovery, the creep of strata can often be accelerated due to injection pressure, the temperature of steam, the structural characteristics of rock itself and other factors. However, the effect of creep in strata may cause various types of damage in underground...

Aerodynamic noise is one of the most serious barriers in wind energy development. To develop technologies for wind turbine noise reduction and assessment, noise needs to be predicted precisely with special consideration given to blade flexibility. The numerical tool, WINFAS, which can simulate...

This work is concerned with the simulation of inviscid compressible flow in time-dependent domains. We present an arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) formulation of the Euler equations describing compressible flow, discretize them in space by the discontinous Galerkin method and introduce a...

This review covers the broad scope of ocean hydrodynamics on offshore marine structures, laying the framework for studying offshore wind energy with a variety of engineering methods. First, water wave theory is described beginning with the fundamental equations of fluid mechanics. A variety of...

In the context of normalized variable formulation (NVF) of Leonard and total variation diminishing (TVD) constraints of Harten, this paper presents an extension of a previous work by the authors for solving unsteady incompressible flow problems. The main contributions of the paper are threefold....

This paper deals with a problem of numerical solution of a flow through a channel with angular bypass. This flow is supposed to be laminar, viscous and incompressible. For description of this type of flow the model of the Navier–Stokes equations could be used. One can find steady solution of...

The connection between fluid dynamics and classical statistical mechanics has motivated in the past mathematical investigations of the incompressible Navier–Stokes (NS) equations (INSE) by means of an asymptotic kinetic theory. This feature has suggested the search for possible alternative...

We discuss the kinetic representation of gases and the derivation of macroscopic equations governing the thermomechanical behavior of a dilute gas viewed at the macroscopic level as a continuous medium. We introduce an approach to kinetic theory where spatial distributions of the molecules are...

At any Reynolds number the temporal limit satisfies two principles. One concerns the arousing of tiny counterclockwise- or clockwise-rotating eddies attached to a rigid wall; the other, the merging and splitting of counterclockwise- or clockwise-rotating eddies, accounting for the tails and the...
