Linearized acoustic perturbation equations for low Mach number flow with variable density and temperature
Abstract
When the Mach number tends to zero the compressible Navier-Stokes equations converge to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, under the restrictions of constant density, constant temperature and no compression from the boundary. This is a singular limit in which the pressure of the compressible equations converges at leading order to a constant thermodynamic background pressure, while a hydrodynamic pressure term appears in the incompressible equations as a Lagrangian multiplier to establish the divergence-free condition for the velocity. In this paper we consider the more general case in which variable density, variable temperature and heat transfer are present, while the Mach number is small. We discuss first the limit equations for this case, when the Mach number tends to zero. The introduction of a pressure splitting into a thermodynamic and a hydrodynamic part allows the extension of numerical methods to the zero Mach number equations in these non-standard situations. The solution of these equations is then used as the state of expansion extending the expansion about incompressible flow proposed by Hardin and Pope [J.C. Hardin, D.S. Pope, An acoustic/viscous splitting technique for computational aeroacoustics, Theor. Comput. Fluid Dyn. 6 (1995) 323-340]. The resulting linearized equations state a mathematical model for the generationmore »

Flame propagation is relevant in many practical applications involving heat transfer and the conversion of heat into mechanical work. Examples of such applications include spark-ignition engines, turbojets, ramjets, afterburners and rockets, although these devices may exhibit nonlocal and nonpropagating combustion phenomena as well. Here, a simple model problem is formulated to describe the coupling between premixed-flame and flow-field dynamics resulting from gas expansion within the flame. The energy conservation equation is integrated analytically across the flame in order to reduce the number of governing equations for the computational problem. A system of six equations and associated boundary conditions are formulatedmore »

Extension of finite volume compressible flow solvers to multi-dimensional, variable density zero Mach number flows
When attempting to compute unsteady, variable density flows at very small or zero Mach number using a standard finite volume compressible flow solver one faces at least the following difficulties: (1) Spatial pressure variations vanish as the Mach number M {r{underscore}arrow} 0, but they do affect the velocity field at leading order; (2) the resulting spatial homogeneity of the leading order pressure implies an elliptic divergence constraint for the energy flux; (3) violations of this constraint crucially affect the transport of mass, preventing a code to properly advert even a constant density distribution. The authors overcome these difficulties through amore » -
High Mach number mix instability experiments of an unstable density interface using a single-mode, nonlinear initial perturbation
The growth of an unstable density interface from a nonlinear, single-mode, two-dimensional initial perturbation (10 {mu}m amplitude; 23 {mu}m wavelength) has been studied experimentally using a miniature shock tube attached to a gold hohlraum irradiated by the Nova laser [J. T. Hunt and D. R. Speck, Opt. Eng. {bold 28}, 461 (1989)]. The initial perturbation was machined into a brominated plastic ablator (1.22 g/cm{sup 3}) adjacent to a low density carbon foam (0.10 g/cm{sup 3}). Upon laser illumination of the hohlraum and x-ray ablation of the plastic, a strong shock wave (Mach{approximately}30) propagated across the perturbed density interface causing themore » -
Electron heating by ion acoustic turbulence in simulated low Mach number shocks
Explicit and fully electromagnetic particle-in-cell simulations of perpendicular, collisionless, and nominally subcritical shocks are performed in one and two spatial dimensions using the code w-smcapsa-smcapsVe-smcaps (Phys. Fluids 14, 830 (1971)). Shock parameters are chosen to maximize the growth rates of the current driven ion acoustic instability in the shock. Electron heating by ion acoustic turbulence is observed at the shocks, at rates in agreement with second-order Vlasov theory predictions. However, the amount of resistive electron heating is small and ion reflection provides the major source of dissipation. Strictly resistive shocks do not exist for the parameters suitable for explicit particlemore » -
Large Mach number ion acoustic rarefactive solitary waves for a two electron temperature warm ion plasma
An exact analytical form of Sagdeev pseudopotential has been derived for a two electron temperature warm ion plasma, from which ion acoustic rarefactive solitary wave solutions could be investigated for a wide range of different plasma parameters, viz., ion temperature ({sigma}), cold to hot electron temperature ratio ({beta}), and initial cold electron concentration ({mu}). Explicitly large Mach numbers have been obtained for increasing hot to cold electron temperature ratios, and an analytical condition for the upper bound of the Mach number has been derived for such a rarefactive solitary wave. It is found that the width of these waves obeymore »
