The Dutch Association for Numerical Fluid Mechanics (Kontaktgroep
Numerieke Stromingsleer, KNSL) was founded in The Netherlands in
November 1974. Since then, the Association has organized meetings
twice a year. The present volume contains the proceedings of the
25th meeting, held on October 20, 1986, at Delft University of
Technology. The purpose of the KNSL is to provide an opportunity
for researchers in numerical fluid mechanics to meet regularly and
to inform each other about their research in an informal
atmosphere. Presentations preferably describe work in progress, and
discussion of unsolved problems and unresolved difficulties is
encouraged. The working language is Dutch. Nevertheless, science
and technology are worldwide activities, and therefore it was
decided to publish the proceedings of the 25th meeting in English.
The nine contributions to the 25th meeting were selected by profs.
A.I. van de Vooren, C.B. Vreugdenhil and the editor. These works
are far from covering completely all activity in this field in this
country, but they are typical of what is going on. A wide range of
subjects is discussed, including fundamental aspects of spectral
methods, solution methods for the Euler equations and aeronautical
applications, viscous ship hydrodynamics, shallow water equations,
viscous flows with capillary and non-Newtonian effects, and
turbulent heat transfer with industrial applications. The 25th
meeting of the KNSL was supported financially by ECN (Netherlands
Energy Research Foundation), MARIN (Maritime Research Institute
Netherlands), NLR (National Aerospace Laboratory), WL (Delft
Hydraulics Laboratory), VEG Gasinstituut, Delft University of
Technology and University of Twente.
From the reviews of the first edition: "This book is directed to
graduate students and research workers interested in the numerical
solution of problems of fluid dynamics, primarily those arising in
high speed flow. ...The book is well arranged, logically presented
and well illustrated. It contains several FORTRAN programms with
which students could experiment ... It is a "practical "book, with
emphasis on methods and their implementation. It is an excellent
text for the fruitful research area it covers, and is highly
recommended." "Journal of Fluid Mechanics" #1 From the reviews of
the second edition: "The arrangement of chapters in the book
remains practically the same as that in the first editon (1977),
except for the inclusion of Glimm's method ... This book is higly
recommended for both graduate students and researchers." "Applied
Mechanics Reviews" #1
This volume collects papers dedicated toWalterNoll on his sixtieth
birthday, January 7, 1985. They first appeared in Volumes 86-97
(1984-1987) of the Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis. At
the request ofthe Editors the list of authors to be invited was
drawn up by B.D. Coleman, M. Feinberg, and J. Serrin. WalterNoll's
influence upon research into the foundations of mechanics and
thermodynamics is plain, everywhere acknowledged. Less obvious is
the wide effect his writings have exerted upon those who apply
mechanics to special problems, but it is witnessed by the now
frequent use of terms, concepts, and styles of argument he
introduced, use sometimes by young engineers who have learnt them
in some recent textbook and hence take them for granted, oftenwith
no idea whence they come. Examples are "objectivity", "material
frame- indifference", "constitutive equation", "reduced form" of
the last-named, "sim- plematerial", "simplesolid", "simplefluid",
"isotropygroup",andtheassociated notations and lines of reasoning.
This volume is the collection of papers presented at the workshop
on 'The Stability of Spatially Varying and Time Dependent Flows"
sponsored by the Institute for Computer Applications in Science and
Engineering (lCASE) and NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) during
August 19- 23, 1985. The purpose of this workshop was to bring
together some of the experts in the field for an exchange of ideas
to update the current status of knowledge and to help identify
trends for future research. Among the invited speakers were D.M.
Bushnell, M. Goldstein, P. Hall, Th. Herbert, R.E. Kelly, L. Mack,
A.H. Nayfeh, F.T. Smith, and C. von Kerczek. The contributed papers
were by A. Bayliss, R. Bodonyi, S. Cowley, C. Grosch, S. Lekoudis,
P. Monkewitz, A. Patera, and C. Streett. In the first article,
Bushnell provides a historical background on laminar flow control
(LFC) research and summarizes the crucial role played by stability
theory in LFC system design. He also identifies problem areas in
stability theory requiring further research from the view-point of
ap plications to LFC design. It is an excellent article for
theoreticians looking for some down-to-earth applications of
stability theory."
This revised edition provides updated fluid mechanics measurement
techniques as well as a comprehensive review of flow properties
required for research, development, and application.
Fluid-mechanics measurements in wind tunnel studies, aeroacoustics,
and turbulent mixing layers, the theory of fluid mechanics, the
application of the laws of fluid mechanics to measurement
techniques, techniques of thermal anemometry, laser velocimetry,
volume flow measurement techniques, and fluid mechanics measurement
in non-Newtonian fluids, and various other techniques are
discussed.
The present lecture notes cover a first course in th most common
types of stratified flows encountered in Environ mental Hydraulics.
Most of the flows are buoyancy flows, i.e. currents in which
gravity acts on small density differences. Part I presents the
basic concepts of stagnant, densit- stratified water, and of
flowing non-miscible stratified fluids. The similarity to the
(presumed) well-known open channel flow, subject to a reduced
gravity, is illustrated. Part II treats the miscible density
stratified flows. In outlining the governing equations, the strong
coupling between the turbulence (the mixing) and the mean flow is
emphasized. The presentation and discussions of the basic governing
equa tions are followed by illustrative examples. Separate chapters
are devoted to Dense Bottom Currents, Free Penetrative Convec tion,
Wind-driven Stratified Flow, Horizontal Buoyancy Flow and Vertical
jet/plumes. Part III presents some examples of practical problems
solved on the basis of knowledge given in the present lecture
notes. It is the author's experience that the topics treated in
chapter 8 and in the subsequent chapters are especially well suited
for self-tuition, followed by a study-circle. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The
author has benefited by the valuable help of his col legues at the
Institute of Hydrodynamics and Hydraulic Engin eering, the
Technical University of Denmark, especially our librarian Mrs.
Kirsten Djcentsrup, our secretary Mrs. Marianne Lewis and our
technical draftsman Mrs. Liselotte Norup."
This book contains notes for a one-semester course on
viscoelasticity given in the Division of Applied Mathematics at
Brown University. The course serves as an introduction to
viscoelasticity and as a workout in the use of various standard
mathematical methods. The reader will soon find that he needs to do
some work on the side to fill in details that are omitted from the
text. These are notes, not a completely detailed explanation.
Furthermore, much of the content of the course is in the problems
assigned for solution by the student. The reader who does not at
least try to solve a good many of the problems is likely to miss
most of the point. Much that is known about viscoelasticity is not
discussed in these notes, and references to original sources are
usually not give, so it will be difficult or impossible to use this
book as a reference for looking things up. Readers wanting
something more like a treatise should see Ferry's Viscoelastic
Properties of Polymers, Lodge's Elastic Liquids, the volumes edited
by Eirich on Rheology, or any issue of the Transactions of the
Society of Rheology. These works emphasize physical aspects of the
subject. On the mathematical side, Gurtin and Sternberg's long
paper On the Linear Theory of Viscoelasticity (ARMA II, 291 (I962"
remains the best reference for proofs of theorems.
Computational fluid flow is not an easy subject. Not only is the
mathematical representation of physico-chemical hydrodynamics
complex, but the accurate numerical solution of the resulting
equations has challenged many numerate scientists and engineers
over the past two decades. The modelling of physical phenomena and
testing of new numerical schemes has been aided in the last 10
years or so by a number of basic fluid flow programs (MAC, TEACH,
2-E-FIX, GENMIX, etc). However, in 1981 a program (perhaps more
precisely, a software product) called PHOENICS was released that
was then (and still remains) arguably, the most powerful
computational tool in the whole area of endeavour surrounding fluid
dynamics. The aim of PHOENICS is to provide a framework for the
modelling of complex processes involving fluid flow, heat transfer
and chemical reactions. PHOENICS has now been is use for four years
by a wide range of users across the world. It was thus perceived as
useful to provide a forum for PHOENICS users to share their
experiences in trying to address a wide range of problems. So it
was that the First International PHOENICS Users Conference was
conceived and planned for September 1985. The location, at the
Dartford Campus of Thames Polytechnic, in the event, proved to be
an ideal site, encouraging substantial interaction between the
participants.
In the past several years, it has become apparent that computing
will soon achieve a status within science and engineering to the
classical scientific methods of laboratory experiment and
theoretical analysis. The foremost tools of state-of-the-art
computing applications are supercomputers, which are simply the
fastest and biggest computers available at any given time.
Supercomputers and supercomputing go hand-in-hand in pacing the
development of scientific and engineering applications of
computing. Experience has shown that supercomputers improve in
speed and capability by roughly a factor 1000 every 20 years.
Supercomputers today include the Cray XMP and Cray-2, manufactured
by Cray Research, Inc., the Cyber 205, manufactured by Control Data
Corporation, the Fujitsu VP, manufactured by Fujitsu, Ltd., the
Hitachi SA-810/20, manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd., and the NEC SX,
manufactured by NEC, Inc. The fastest of these computers are nearly
three orders-of-magnitude faster than the fastest computers
available in the mid-1960s, like the Control Data CDC 6600. While
the world-wide market for supercomputers today is only about 50
units per year, it is expected to grow rapidly over the next
several years to about 200 units per year.
From the astrophysical scale of a swirling spiral galaxy, through
the geophysical scale of a hurricane, down to the subatomic scale
of elementary particles, vortical motion and vortex dynamics have
played a profound role in our understanding of the physical world.
Kuchemann referred to vortex dynamics as "the sinews and muscles of
fluid motion. " In order to update our understanding of vortex
dominated flows, NASA Langley Research Center and the Institute for
Computer Applications in Science and Engineering (ICASE) conducted
a workshop during July 9-11, 1985. The subject was broadly divided
into five overlapping topics vortex dynamics, vortex breakdown,
massive separation, vortex shedding from sharp leading edges and
conically separated flows. Some of the experts in each of these
areas were invited to provide an overview of the subject. This
volume is the proceedings of the workshop and contains the latest,
theoretical, numerical, and experimental work in the
above-mentioned areas. Leibovich, Widnall, Moore and Sirovich
discussed topics on the fundamentals of vortex dynamics, while
Keller and Hafez treated the problem of vortex break down
phenomena; the contributions of Smith, Davis and LeBalleur were in
the area of massive separation and inviscid-viscous interactions,
while those of Cheng, Hoeijmakers and Munnan dealt with
sharp-leading-edge vortex flows; and Fiddes and Marconi represented
the category of conical separated flows."
The GAMM Committee for Numerical Methods in Fluid Mechanics
organizes workshops which should bring together experts of a narrow
field of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to exchange ideas and
experiences in order to speed-up the development in this field. In
this sense it was suggested that a workshop should treat the
solution of CFD problems on vector computers. Thus we organized a
workshop with the title "The efficient use of vector computers with
emphasis on computational fluid dynamics." The workshop took place
at the Computing Centre of the University of Karlsruhe, March
13-15,1985. The participation had been restricted to 22 people of 7
countries. 18 papers have been presented. In the announcement of
the workshop we wrote: "Fluid mechanics has actively stimulated the
development of superfast vector computers like the CRAY's or CYBER
205. Now these computers on their turn stimulate the development of
new algorithms which result in a high degree of vectorization
(sca1ar/vectorized execution-time). But with 3-D problems we
quickly reach the limit of present vector computers. If we want
e.g. to solve a system of 6 partial differential equations (e.g.
for u, v, w, p, k, or for the vectors u, curl u) on a 50x50x50 grid
we have 750.000 unknowns and for a 4th order difference method we
have circa 60 million nonzero coefficients in the highly sparse
matrix. This characterizes the type of problems which we want to
discuss in the workshop.""

This investigation is an outgrowth of my doctoral dissertation at
Princeton University. I am particularly grateful to Professors
George F. Pinder and William G. Gray of Princeton for their advice
during both my research and my writing. I believe that
finite-element collocation holds promise as a numer ical scheme for
modeling complicated flows in porous media. However, there seems to
be a "conventional wisdom" maintaining that collocation is
hopelessly beset by oscillations and is, in some way, fundamentally
inappropriate for multiphase flows. I hope to dispel these
objections, realizing that others will remain for further work. The
U. S. National Science Foundation funded much of this study through
grant number NSF-CEE-8111240. TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ;;

Applied Mathematics is the art of constructing mathematical models
of observed phenomena so that both qualitative and quantitative
results can be predicted by the use of analytical and numerical
methods. Theoretical Mechanics is concerned with the study of those
phenomena which can be ob served in everyday life in the physical
world around us. It is often characterised by the macroscopic
approach which allows the concept of an element or particle of
material, small compared to the dimensions of the phenomena being
modelled, yet large compared to the molecular size of the material.
Then atomic and molecular phenomena appear only as quantities
averaged over many molecules. It is therefore natural that the
mathemati cal models derived are in terms of functions which are
continuous and well behaved, and that the analytical and numerical
methods required for their development are strongly dependent on
the theory of partial and ordinary differential equations. Much
pure research in Mathematics has been stimu lated by the need to
develop models of real situations, and experimental observations
have often led to important conjectures and theorems in Analysis.
It is therefore important to present a careful account of both the
physical or experimental observations and the mathematical analysis
used. The authors believe that Fluid Mechanics offers a rich field
for il lustrating the art of mathematical modelling, the power of
mathematical analysis and the stimulus of applications to readily
observed phenomena."
The scope of the present book is to offer the most efficient tools
for the vectorization of serial computer programs. Here, by
vectorization we understand the adaptation of computer programs to
the special architecture of modern available vector computers to
exploit fully their potential, which will often result in
remarkable performance improvements. The book is written primarily
for users working in the various fields of computational physics,
for scientists as well as for programmers running their jobs on a
vector computer. The text may, however, also be of value to those
who are interested in numerical algorithms. Although the examples
discussed in chapter 9 have been taken from Computational Fluid
Dynamics, the numerical methods are well-known, and are applied in
many fields of Computational Physics. The book is divided into four
parts. After a short introduction which outlines the limits of
conventional serial computers in contrast to the possibilities
offered by the new vector machines, the second part is addressed to
the discussion of some main features of existing computer
architectures. We restrict ourselves to the vector computers
CRAY-1S and CDC-CYBER 205, although, in the meantime, many vector
and parallel computers and array processors are available such as
DENELCOR's Heterogeneous Element Processor (HEP), ICL's Distributed
Array Processor (DAP), SPERRY UNIVAC's Array Processing System
(APS), STAR TECHNOLOGIES ST-l00, FLOATING POINT SYSTEMS' Array
Processor (FPS), FUJITSU's FACOM VP-l00 and VP-200, HITACHI's
Integrated Array Processor (lAP), HITACHI's S 810/10 and S 810/20
and others.
