Abstract

In this paper we explore the use of a finite scale model of fluid dynamics to predict the finite structure of a shock wave in a perfect gas. We begin by documenting the history and issues that have arisen when Navier–Stokes theory is applied to the shock structure problem, and continue by motivating the improvement that finite scale theory might provide from its representation of inviscid (anomalous) dissipation. Furthermore, our primary results include the formulation of a traveling wave equation from finite scale theory, an analysis of the solutions of that equation as regards shock width and monotonicity properties, and an estimation of the critical parameter of the theory from experimental data.

Finite scale theory: Predicting nature’s shocks

Journal Article Margolin, L. G. ; Plesko, C. S. ; Reisner, J. M. - Wave Motion

In this paper, we describe a continuum model that accurately reproduces the experimentally measured structure of physical shocks in a perfect gas. In this work, we begin by presenting a history of shock structure research, theoretical, experimental and numerical, to quantify the significant discrepancies between Navier–Stokes predictions and laboratory measurements. In our first main result, we discuss modifications that generalize the Chapman–Enskog approximation and lead to a new continuum model termed the Finite Scale Equations. In our second main result, we use this continuum model to calculate shock structure with results comparable in accuracy to numerical simulations based on themore » Boltzmann equation.« less

Conservation laws in discrete geometry

Journal Article Margolin, Len G. ; Baty, Roy S. - Journal of Geometric Mechanics

The small length scales of the dissipative processes of physical viscosity and heat conduction are typically not resolved in the numerical simulation of high Reynolds number flows in the discrete geometry of computational grids. Historically, the simulations of flows with shocks and/or turbulence have relied on solving the Euler equations with dissipative regularization. In this paper, we begin by reviewing the regularization strategies used in shock wave calculations in both a Lagrangian and an Eulerian framework. We exhibit the essential similarities with Large Eddy Simulation models of turbulence, namely that almost all of these depend on the square of themore »« less

Coarse-grained simulations of vortex dynamics and transition in complex high-Re flows

Conference Grinstein, Fernando F

Turbulent flow complexity in applications in engineering, geophysics and astrophysics typically requires achieving accurate and dependable large scale predictions of highly nonlinear processes with under-resolved computer simulation models. Laboratory observations typically demonstrate the end outcome of complex non-linear three-dimensional physical processes with many unexplained details and mechanisms. Carefully controlled computational experiments based on the numerical solution of the conservation equations for mass, momentum, and energy, provide insights into the underlying flow dynamics. Relevant computational fluid dynamics issues to be addressed relate to the modeling of the unresolved tlow conditions at the subgrid scale (SGS) level - within a computational cell,more »« less

Numerical study of heterogeneous mean temperature and shock wave in a resonator

Journal Article Yano, Takeru - AIP Conference Proceedings

When a frequency of gas oscillation in an acoustic resonator is sufficiently close to one of resonant frequencies of the resonator, the amplitude of gas oscillation becomes large and hence the nonlinear effect manifests itself. Then, if the dissipation effects due to viscosity and thermal conductivity of the gas are sufficiently small, the gas oscillation may evolve into the acoustic shock wave, in the so-called consonant resonators. At the shock front, the kinetic energy of gas oscillation is converted into heat by the dissipation process inside the shock layer, and therefore the temperature of the gas in the resonator rises.more »« less

Traveling waves in Hall-magnetohydrodynamics and the ion-acoustic shock structure

Journal Article Hagstrom, George I. ; Hameiri, Eliezer - Physics of Plasmas

Hall-magnetohydrodynamics (HMHD) is a mixed hyperbolic-parabolic partial differential equation that describes the dynamics of an ideal two fluid plasma with massless electrons. We study the only shock wave family that exists in this system (the other discontinuities being contact discontinuities and not shocks). We study planar traveling wave solutions and we find solutions with discontinuities in the hydrodynamic variables, which arise due to the presence of real characteristics in Hall-MHD. We introduce a small viscosity into the equations and use the method of matched asymptotic expansions to show that solutions with a discontinuity satisfying the Rankine-Hugoniot conditions and also anmore »« less
