A novel experiment has been devised which provides direct evidence for critical point behavior in the longstanding problem of transition to turbulence a pipe. The novelty lies quenching by reducing Reynolds number and observing decay disordered motion. Divergence time scales implies underlying deterministic dynamics are analogous those found boundary crises dynamical systems. modulated wave packet emerges from long term transients this coherent state connections with recent theoretical developments.
As appreciated by those familiar with disposable diapers, polymeric hydrogels swell to absorb a remarkable amount of liquid. Although gels are widely used in many applications from moisture control drug delivery, the mechanisms fluid uptake and release complex, highly nonlinear, not well understood. The authors use modeling experiment show that processes swelling drying inherently transient dynamic---and strikingly different each other.
We report the results of an experimental study finite-amplitude thresholds for transition to turbulence in a constant mass flux pipe flow. The flow was perturbed using small impulsive jets and push–pull disturbances from holes wall. disturbance is used define amplitude perturbation critical value required cause scales proportion Re −1 jets. In this case, catastrophic scaling suggests simple balance between inertia viscosity. On other hand, threshold as −1.3 or −1.5 with precise depending on...
Results are reported on an experimental study of the rheology hydrate-forming water-in-oil emulsions. Density-matched concentrated emulsions were quenched by reducing temperature and irreversible transition was observed where viscosity increased dramatically. The have characteristic times for abrupt change dependent only temperature, reflecting importance effect subcooling. Mechanical hydrate-free may require longer depends shear rate, occurring more rapidly at higher rates but with...
Purpose Fluid flows in pipes whose cross-sectional area are increasing the stream-wise direction prone to separation of recirculation region. This paper aims investigate such fluid flow expansion pipe systems using direct numerical simulations. The circular diverging with different half angles, namely, 45, 26, 14, 7.2 and 4.7 degrees, considered. is fed by a fully developed laminar parabolic velocity profile at its inlet connected long straight downstream characterise zone skin friction...

A mechanism based on the presence uphill wave particles has been found to govern observed pattern petals. Specifically we develop simple model that captures essential physics and yields algebraic expression predicts number petals pattern.

Abstract Torque measurements in Taylor–Couette flow, with large radius ratio and aspect ratio, over a range of velocities up to Reynolds number 24 000 are presented. Following specific procedure, nine states distinct numbers vortices along the axis were found ratios measured. The relationship between speed torque for given is reported. In turbulent Taylor vortex flow regime, at relatively high number, change behaviour observed corresponding intersections torque–speed curves different states....

There have been many investigations of the stability Hagen–Poiseuille flow in 125 years since Osborne Reynolds' famous experiments on transition to turbulence a pipe, and yet pipe problem remains focus attention much research. Here, we discuss recent results from experimental numerical obtained this new century. Progress has made three fundamental issues: threshold amplitude disturbances required trigger laminar state; Reynolds number below which disturbance decays state, with quantitative...

Pressure change the diverging section induces bubble breakup. The purpose of this is to clarify effect velocity at throat with respect breakup process and behavior venturi tube. Relations between generated diameter are also described. Using high speed camera for detailed observation behavior, following...

We report the results of three-dimensional direct numerical simulations for incompressible viscous fluid in a circular pipe flow with gradual expansion. At inlet, parabolic velocity profile is applied together constant finite-amplitude perturbation to represent experimental imperfections. Initially, at low Reynolds number, solution steady. As number increased, length recirculation region near wall grows linearly. Then, critical symmetry-breaking bifurcation occurs, where linear growth...
