In order to understand the observed pattern, a two dimensional kinematic model of a meandering jet was developed which could be used to examine the relationship between streamfunction patterns and fluid parcel trajectories. The experiments designed to investigate the dependence of the water exchanges between the Kuroshio water and its surroundings on the characteristics of the Kuroshio’s meanders involved the downstream speed, phase speed and the amplitude of other propagating waves. The results suggested that fluid parcels could cross the meandering jet to and fro; and that the water exchanges between the Kuroshio and its surroundings increased with a) increasing meander amplitude, b) decreasing downstream speed, and c) increasing wave phase speed. The results also showed that when the meandering jet was disturbed by other propagating waves, more effective water exchanges could be induced.展开更多

Dynamic viscosity of rapeseed oil was determined at temperatures between 40 ℃-90 ℃ and shear rates ranging from 3.3-120 s1. All types of oils studied Bingham fluid behavior in the temperature range from 313-363 K. Correlation coefficients have similar values to one for all oils studied.展开更多

With smart materials as suitable substitutes, the conventional passive isolators have attained attributes of semi-active as well as the active control system. In the present study, the non-homogenous field-dependent isolation capabilities of the magnetorheological elastomer are explored under torsional vibrations. Torsional natural frequency was measured using the serial arrangement of accelerometers. Novel methods are introduced to evaluate the torsional stiffness variations of the isolator for a semi-definite and a motor-coupled rotor system. For the semi-definite system, the isolation effect was studied using the frequency response functions from the modal analysis. The speed-dependent variations for motor-coupled rotor system were assessed using the shift in frequency amplitudes from torque transducers. Finite element method magnetics was used to study the variations in the non-homogenous magnetic field across the elastomer. The response functions for the semi-definite rotor system reveal a shift in the frequency in the effect of the magnetic field. Speed-dependent variations in the frequency domain indicate an increment of 9% in the resonant frequency of the system.展开更多

The TILS （turbulence integral length scale） of the turbulent wake of hydrofoil with blunt trailing edge is calculated from TR-PIV （time-resolved particle image velocimetry） data. The temporal auto-correlation method based on Taylor hypothesis and spatial correlation method are used to get the TILS information of the turbulent wake of hydrofoil, respectively The comparison of results by two methods indicates that the spatial correlation method is independent on Taylor hypothesis and suitable to strong turbulence and non-isotropic turbulence.展开更多
