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 »« less

Extension of finite volume compressible flow solvers to multi-dimensional, variable density zero Mach number flows

Journal Article Schneider, T. ; Botta, N. ; Geratz, K.J. ; ... - Journal of Computational Physics

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.

An analytical model for flame propagation in low-Mach-number, variable-density flow

Journal Article Aldredge, R.C. - International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer

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 »« less

Modification of the formation of high-Mach number electrostatic shock-like structures by the ion acoustic instability

Journal Article Dieckmann, M. E. ; Sarri, G. ; Doria, D. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

The formation of unmagnetized electrostatic shock-like structures with a high Mach number is examined with one- and two-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. The structures are generated through the collision of two identical plasma clouds, which consist of equally hot electrons and ions with a mass ratio of 250. The Mach number of the collision speed with respect to the initial ion acoustic speed of the plasma is set to 4.6. This high Mach number delays the formation of such structures by tens of inverse ion plasma frequencies. A pair of stable shock-like structures is observed after this time in the 1Dmore »« less

Influence of dielectric barrier discharges on low Mach number shock waves at low to medium pressures

Journal Article Bletzinger, P. ; Ganguly, B.N. ; Garscadden, A. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

For shock wave propagation in nonequilibrium plasmas, it has been shown that when the electron Debye length exceeds the shock wave discontinuity dimension, strong double layers are generated, propagating with the shock wave. Strong double layer formation leads to the enhancement of the local excitation, ionization, and local neutral gas heating which increases the shock wave velocity. It is shown that dielectric barrier discharges (DBD) in pure N{sub 2} also increase the shock wave velocity and broaden the shock wave. The DBD is considerably more energy efficient in producing these effects compared to a dc glow discharge and can operatemore »« less

THE DENSITY VARIANCE-MACH NUMBER RELATION IN SUPERSONIC, ISOTHERMAL TURBULENCE

Journal Article Price, Daniel J. ; Federrath, Christoph ; Brunt, Christopher M., E-mail: daniel.price@monash.edu - Astrophysical Journal Letters

We examine the relation between the density variance and the mean-square Mach number in supersonic, isothermal turbulence, assumed in several recent analytic models of the star formation process. From a series of calculations of supersonic, hydrodynamic turbulence driven using purely solenoidal Fourier modes, we find that the 'standard' relationship between the variance in the log of density and the Mach number squared, i.e., {sigma}{sub ln}{sup 2}{sub {rho}/{bar {rho}}} = ln (1+b{sup 2}M{sup 2}), with b = 1/3, is a good fit to the numerical results in the supersonic regime up to at least Mach 20, similar to previous determinations atmore »« less
