Nanoscale Hydrodynamics of Simple Systems by Jesper Schmidt Hansen Pdf

Written for graduate students and researchers, Nanoscale Hydrodynamics of Simple Systems covers fundamental aspects of nanoscale hydrodynamics and extends this basis to examples. Covering classical, generalised and extended hydrodynamic theories, the title also discusses their limitations. It introduces the reader to nanoscale fluid phenomena and explores how fluid dynamics on this extreme length scale can be understood using hydrodynamic theory and detailed atomistic simulations. It also comes with additional resources including a series of explanatory videos on the installation of the code package, as well as discussion, analysis and visualisations of simulations. This title primarily focusses on training the reader to identify when classical theory breaks down, how to extend and generalise the theory, as well as assimilate how simulations and theory together can be used to gain fundamental knowledge about the fluid dynamics of small-scale systems.

Geometrical Theory of Dynamical Systems and Fluid Flows (revised Edition) by Anonim Pdf

"This is an introductory textbook on the geometrical theory of dynamical systems, fluid flows and certain integrable systems. The topics are interdisciplinary and extend from mathematics, mechanics and physics to mechanical engineering, and the approach is very fundamental. The main theme of this book is a unified formulation to understand dynamical evolutions of physical systems within mathematical ideas of Riemannian geometry and Lie groups by using well-known examples. Underlying mathematical concepts include transformation invariance, covariant derivative, geodesic equation and curvature tensors on the basis of differential geometry, theory of Lie groups and integrability. These mathematical theories are applied to physical systems such as free rotation of a top, surface wave of shallow water, action principle in mechanics, diffeomorphic flow of fluids, vortex motions and some integrable systems. In the latest edition, a new formulation of fluid flows is also presented in a unified fashion on the basis of the gauge principle of theoretical physics and principle of least action along with new type of Lagrangians. A great deal of effort has been directed toward making the description elementary, clear and concise, to provide beginners easy access to the topics."-

Direct Numerical Simulation of Very-Large-Scale Motions in Turbulent Pipe Flow by Christian Bauer Pdf

Die turbulente Rohrströmung ist nicht nur von großer Bedeutung für Anwendungen im Ingenieurbereich, sondern auch für die Grundlagenforschung von wandnaher Turbulenz. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Interaktion sogenannter turbulenter Superstrukturen (engl.: very-large-scale motions, VLSMs) mit der kleinskaligen Wandturbulenz auf Basis der Methode der direkten numerischen Simulation untersucht. Dabei werden Schubspannungs-Reynoldszahlen bis Reτ = 2880 und Rohrlängen bis L = 42R berücksichtigt. Es wird das Konvergenz- und Skalierungsverhalten verschiedener statistischer Momente der Geschwindigkeitsverteilung untersucht und in Bezug auf VLSMs diskutiert. Die folgende Analyse der axialen Energietransportgleichung des gefilterten Geschwindigkeitsfeldes legt offen, dass VLSMs Energie von der mittleren Strömung zugeführt bekommen, ähnlich den kleinskaligen Strukturen durch den turbulenten Produktionsmechanismus. Die verschiedenen Terme der Energiebilanz werden sowohl anhand von mittleren Profilen, als auch instantanen Strömungsvisualisierungen und drei-dimensionalen Korrelationen diskutiert, wobei auch auf das Phänomen der inversen turbulenten Energiekaskade eingegangen wird. Die Forschungsarbeit gewährt dabei neue Einblicke in die Interaktion der VLSMs mit dem turbulenten Wandzyklus und trägt zum besseren Verständnis der turbulenten Rohrströmung bei. Turbulent pipe flow is not only of importance to engineering applications but also of fundamental interest to the study of wall-bounded turbulence. In the present work, the interaction of the so-called very-large-scale motions (VLSMs) with the near-wall, small-scale turbulence is explored by means of direct numerical simulation for friction Reynolds numbers up to Reτ = 2880 and pipe lengths up to L = 42R. Besides, the convergence and the scaling of different order moments of the velocity distribution are studied and also discussed with regard to VLSMs. The subsequent analysis of the streamwise energy budget equation of the filtered velocity field reveals that VLSMs obtain their energy from the mean velocity field via a production mechanism similar to the one known from the near-wall cycle. Moreover, the different energy budget terms are investigated by means of statistical averages, instantaneous flow field visualisations, and three-dimensional correlations, wherein the backscattering phenomenon is also dealt with. In brief, the research sheds new light on our understanding of the interaction between VLSMs and the near-wall cycle and leads to a better grasp of turbulent pipe flow in general.

Building Theories by David Danks,Emiliano Ippoliti Pdf

This book explores new findings on the long-neglected topic of theory construction and discovery, and challenges the orthodox, current division of scientific development into discrete stages: the stage of generation of new hypotheses; the stage of collection of relevant data; the stage of justification of possible theories; and the final stage of selection from among equally confirmed theories. The chapters, written by leading researchers, offer an interdisciplinary perspective on various aspects of the processes by which theories rationally should, and descriptively are, built. They address issues such as the role of problem-solving and heuristic reasoning in theory-building; how inferences and models shape the pursuit of scientific knowledge; the relation between problem-solving and scientific discovery; the relative values of the syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic view of theories in understanding theory construction; and the relation between ampliative inferences, heuristic reasoning, and models as a means for building new theories and knowledge. Through detailed arguments and examinations, the volume collectively challenges the orthodox view’s main tenets by characterizing the ways in which the different “stages” are logically, temporally, and psychologically intertwined. As a group, the chapters provide several attempts to answer long-standing questions about the possibility of a unified conceptual framework for building theories and formulating hypotheses.
