However, it is not available with the current theoretical method, and has to rely on experiments. For supersonic/hypersonic boundary layer flows, the experimental method for determination is not feasible either. Therefore, in this paper, a numerical method for the determination of the critical transition Reynolds number for an incompressible plane channel flow is proposed. It is basically aimed to test the feasibility of the method. The proposed method is extended to determine the critical Reynolds number of the supersonic/hypersonic boundary layer flow in the subsequent papers.展开更多

The CEP is found to be located at (μc,Tc)= (80 MeV, 148 MeV) where μc and Tc are the critical chemical potential and temperature, respectively. The QNS is found to have the highest and sharpest peak at the CEP. It is also found that, when the chemical potential μ is in the range of 60MeV≤ μ ≤ 110MeV, the QNS near the transition temperature is larger than the free field result, which indicates that the space-like damping mode dominates the degree of freedom of motion near the CEP.展开更多

This article presents a solution in the explicit form of the equation of the momentum diffusion for a viscous fluid flowing around a plate taking into account deceleration. Three characteristic regions of a viscous flow have been described: the mantle, the body of the boundary layer, the viscous sublayer. In the mantle, the effect of viscosity is significant at a considerable distance from the plate. The momentum diffusion is focused in the body of the boundary layer. The diffusion force that produces the momentum of force giving rise to eddies is localized in the viscous sublayer. At the beginning of the plate, a moment of force twists the liquid along the flow, creating eddies that roll along the plate. For this reason, they are pressed against the surface of the plate. But at some distance from the beginning of the plate, the moment of force changes its orientation to the opposite and twists the vortices in the opposite direction, causing the vortices to roll along the plate against the flow. This causes the liquid to detach from the surface of the plate. This is the beginning of turbulence. The diameter of the vortex produced in the viscous sublayer is small being of the order of the thickness of the viscous sublayer. The vortex possesses a large angular velocity. Due to the momentum diffusion and the effect of the eddies combined in passing along the plate, its diameter increases up to the size of the thickness of the boundary layer and even more, whereas its angular velocity decreases down to the values really observed. The value of the critical Reynolds number of the transition from the laminar flow to the turbulent one has been found, and it agrees with the experimental data. The value of the shear stress produced by the viscous fluid on the plate surface has also been obtained. The way of measurement of the friction coefficient characterizing the effect of the plate on the flow has been proposed. It has been shown that the boundary condition of adhesion to the surface of a body flown around, that is applied in the estimation of viscous flows, contradicts the real processes of the flow.展开更多

However, there is a risk of cavitaion around the orifice plate flow: In order to provide references for engineering practice, we examined the cavitation mechanism around the orifice plate and its influencing factors by utilizing mathematical analysis methods to analyze the flow conditions around the orifice plate in view of gas bubble dynamics. Through the research presented in this paper, the following can be observed: The critical radius and the critical pressure of the gas nucleus in orifice plate flow increase with its initial state parameter r0 ; the development speed of bubbles stabilizes at a certain value after experiencing a peak value and a small valley value; and the orifice plate cavitation is closely related to the distribution of the gas nucleus in flow. For computing the orifice plate cavitation number, we ought to take into account the effects of pressure fluctuation. The development time of the gas nucleus from the initial radius to the critical radius is about 107-10-5 s; therefore, the gas nucleus has sufficient time to develop into bubbles in the negative half-cycle of flow fluctuation. The orifice critical cavitation number is closely related to the orifice plate size, and especially closely related with the ratio of the orifice plate radius to the tunnel radius. The approximate formula for the critical cavitation number of the square orifice plate that only considers the main influencing factor was obtained by model experiments.展开更多

The measurement of baryon number susceptibilities from heavy-ion collision experiments is along the freeze-out line. If the freeze-out line crosses the foot of the CEP mountain, then one can observe the peaked baryon number susceptibilities along the freeze-out line, and the kurtosis of the baryon number distributions has the highest magnitude. The data from the first phase of the beam energy scan program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider indicates that there should be a peak of the kurtosis of the baryon number distribution at a collision energy of around 5 Ge V, which suggests that the freeze-out line crosses the foot of the CEP mountain and the summit of the CEP should be located nearby, around a collision energy of 3–7 GeV.展开更多

The relationships between f and the Reynolds number (Re) for different relative roughnesses are investigated experimentally. The Moody-type diagram, based on the deduced formula of f, is also plotted and the hydraulic characteristics of the flow in a rough fracture are analyzed. Results show that the Moody-type diagram of the experiment has a similar distribution to that of the conventional Moody diagram. It is found that the value of f in the experiment is much smaller than that of the conventional Moody diagram and turbulent flow appears easier for rough fractures, which can be explained by the separation phenomenon in boundary layers. The critical Re ranging from 650 to 700 in rough fractures is concluded based on the experimental results. It also can be concluded that the friction factor f is related not only with the Re and the relative roughness but also with the absolute roughness.展开更多

文摘To study the relationships between the friction factor f and the flow type in a single rough fracture, the formulae of f for both unconfined and confined flows are deduced based on previous studies. The relationships between f and the Reynolds number (Re) for different relative roughnesses are investigated experimentally. The Moody-type diagram, based on the deduced formula of f, is also plotted and the hydraulic characteristics of the flow in a rough fracture are analyzed. Results show that the Moody-type diagram of the experiment has a similar distribution to that of the conventional Moody diagram. It is found that the value of f in the experiment is much smaller than that of the conventional Moody diagram and turbulent flow appears easier for rough fractures, which can be explained by the separation phenomenon in boundary layers. The critical Re ranging from 650 to 700 in rough fractures is concluded based on the experimental results. It also can be concluded that the friction factor f is related not only with the Re and the relative roughness but also with the absolute roughness.
