Development of boundary conditions for direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional vortex breakdown phenomena in semi-infinite domains

The suitability of various open boundary conditions is evaluated for direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional, incompressible, spatially and temporally evolving, swirling laminar jets in domains that extend to infinity in the downstream and radial direction. From the point of view of specifying conditions at the open boundaries, this class of flows is particularly challenging due to its ability to support traveling waves. Towards this end, several radial boundary conditions are implemented and tested with respect to their ability to conserve local and global mass, to handle low and high entrainment flow, and to avoid the introduction of artificial waves propagating from the boundaries into the interior: a free-slip condition, two types of homogeneous Neumann conditions, and a radiation condition in spirit of the outflow boundary condition. Global mass is conserved automatically within machine accuracy in the free-slip and simple radiation case, while the Neumann conditions require some iterative modification to conserve mass. This yields a computationally less efficient scheme which additionally exhibits poorer conservation properties due to the limited number of iterations. The free-slip condition typically requires the largest radial extent of the computational domain due to its impermeable character which is particularly problematic for the high entrainment flow. Hence, the radiation condition has been found as the most suitable lateral boundary condition for both high and low entrainment jets.     

Modeling and control for a Gough‐Stewart platform CNC machine

In this paper, a complete dynamic model on task space for a 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) Gough‐Stewart platform‐type computer numerical control (CNC) machine is derived. The rotation terms of the legs are included for those inertia effects cannot be negligible in the machine tool applications. The formulation derived by means of the Euler‐Lagrange method is convenient for designing the adaptive control law. Also, the average‐type force model for end milling process is derived and included in the dynamic model and control. A composite adaptive control scheme is developed by use of filtering dynamics technique. An appropriate estimator gain is designed in the parameter adaptation law that is useful for estimating the selected important cutting parameters. Experimental results verify the proposed adaptive control scheme can achieve good tracking performance. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Single-factor coefficient bounds

In a 1993 paper Beauzamy, Trevisan and Wang derived a single-factor coefficient bound, one which limits the max norm (height) of at least one irreducible factor of any univariate integral polynomial A. Their bound is a function of the degree and the weighted norm of A. In the conclusion of their paper they ask whether the max norm of A might already be a single-factor coefficient bound. In 1998 Knuth, citing these authors, asked instead whether there is a constant c such that c times the max norm of A is a single-factor coefficient bound. We present the results of extensive calculations relating to this question. We show that c, if it exists, must be greater than 2 and accrue evidence in support of a conjecture that the answer to Knuth’s question is “no”.

A thermohydrodynamic solution for finite journal bearings under dynamic loading conditions

A numerical solution is developed for the equations governing the thermohydrodynamic flow in a finite journal bearing. Both wedge and squeeze pressure contributions are considered. Lubricant viscosity is taken as a function of the temperature distribution in the fluid film. Computer programs are devised to obtain numerical solutions for the prescribed journal centre locus. Thermal effects are shown to be pronounced in laminar flow bearing under dynamic loading conditions.
