Hierarchical structure of the simplified Navier-Stokes equations (SNSE) and its mechanical connotation and application

From MaRDI portal





The paper is devoted to the study of hierarchical structure of the simplified Navier-Stokes equations (SNSE) and their mechanical connotation and mathematical character. The aspects considered are resolving the spatial scales of the flow field, comparing the orders of magnitude between the inertial terms and viscous terms included in the Navier-Stokes (NS) equations, subdividing the flow field and simplifying NS equations. A multilayer structure model for viscous shear flow with a main stream direction is discussed. A new concept of transition layer being situated between the viscous layer and inviscid layer is introduced. The specific cases for viscous flow over a sphere and a jet of compressible fluid is included. The author has introduced the concept of layers matched (Ls M)-SNSE which is an extension of inner-outer- layers-matched SNSE to multilayer case. It is superior to Euler-boundary- layer combined equations and Ls M-SNSE has the possibility of predicting correctly the pressure field.
