abstract: The atomization of a liquid jet by a high speed cross-flowing gas has many applications such as gas turbines and augmentors. The mechanisms by which the liquid jet initially breaks up, however, are not well understood. Experimental studies suggest the dependence of spray properties on operating conditions and nozzle geom- etry. Detailed numerical simulations can offer better understanding of the underlying physical mechanisms that lead to the breakup of the injected liquid jet. In this work, detailed numerical simulation results of turbulent liquid jets injected into turbulent gaseous cross flows for different density ratios is presented. A finite volume, balanced force fractional step flow solver to solve the Navier-Stokes equations is employed and coupled to a Refined Level Set Grid method to follow the phase interface. To enable the simulation of atomization of high density ratio fluids, we ensure discrete consistency between the solution of the conservative momentum equation and the level set based continuity equation by employing the Consistent Rescaled Momentum Transport (CRMT) method. The impact of different inflow jet boundary conditions on different jet properties including jet penetration is analyzed and results are compared to those obtained experimentally by Brown & McDonell(2006). In addition, instability analysis is performed to find the most dominant insta- bility mechanism that causes the liquid jet to breakup. Linear instability analysis is achieved using linear theories for Rayleigh-Taylor and Kelvin- Helmholtz instabilities and non-linear analysis is performed using our flow solver with different inflow jet boundary conditions. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Mechanical Engineering 2013

This work derives a nonlinear optical spatio-temporal instability. It is a perturbative analysis that begins from Maxwell’s equations and its constituent relations to derive a vectorial nonlinear wave equation. In fact, it is a new theoretical method that has been developed that builds on previous aspects of nonlinear optics in a more general way. The perturbation in the wave equation derived is coupled with its complex conjugate which has been taken for granted so far. Once decoupled it gives rise to a second-order equation and thus a true instability regime because the wavevector can become complex. The solution obtained for the perturbation that co-propagates with the driving laser is a generalization to modulation and filamentation instability, extending beyond the nonlinear Schrodinger and nonlinear transverse diffusion equations[1][2]. As a result of this new mechanism, new phenomena can be explored. For example, the Kerr Nonlinear Instability can lead to exponential growth, and hence amplification. This can occur even at wavelengths that are typically hard to operate at, such as into far infrared wave- lengths. This provides a mechanism for obtaining amplification in the far infrared from a small seed pulse without the need for population inversion. The analysis provides the basic framework that can be extended to many different avenues. This will be the subject of future work, as outlined in the conclusion of this thesis.

A investigação dos mecanismos de instabilidade pode ter um papel importante no entendimento do processo laminar para turbulento de um escoamento. Análise de instabilidade de uma camada limite de uma linha de estagnação compressível foi realizada no contexto de teoria linear BiGlobal. O estudo dos mecanismos de instabilidade deste escoamento pode proporcionar uma visão útil no desenho aerodinâmico das asas. Um novo procedimento foi desenvolvido e implementado computacionalmente de maneira sequencial e paralela para o estudo de instabilidade BiGlobal. O mesmo baseia-se em formar a matriz esparsa associada ao problema discretizado por dois métodos: pontos de colocação de Chebyshev-Gauss-Lobatto e diferenças finitas, além das combinações destes métodos. Isto permitiu o uso de bibliotecas computacionais eficientes para resolver o sistema linear associado ao problema de autovalor utilizando o algoritmo de Arnoldi. O desempenho do método numérico e código computacional proposto são analisados do ponto de vista do uso de métodos de ordenação dos elementos da matriz, coeficientes de preenchimento, memória e tempo computacional a fim de determinar a solução mais eficiente para um problema físico geral com técnicas de matrizes esparsas. Um estudo paramétrico da instabilidade da camada limite de uma linha de estagnação foi realizado incluindo o estudo dos efeitos de compressibilidade. O excelente desempenho código computacional permitiu obter as curvas neutras e seus respectivos valores críticos para a faixa de número de Mach 0 \'< OU =\' Ma \'< OU =\' 1. Os resultados confirmam a teoria assintótica apresentada por (THEOFILIS; FEDOROV; COLLIS, 2004) e mostram que o incremento do número de Mach reduz o numero de Reynolds crítico e a faixa instável do número de ondas. / Investigation of linear instability mechanisms is essential for understanding the process of transition from laminar to turbulent flow. An algorithm for the numerical solution of the compressible BiGlobal eigenvalue problem is developed. This algorithm exploits the sparsity of the matrices resulting from the spatial discretization of the enigenvalue problem in order to improve the performance in terms of both memory and CPU time over previous dense algebra solutions. Spectral collocation and finite differences spatial discretization methods are implemented, and a performance study is carried out in order to determine the best practice for the efficient solution of a general physical problem with sparse matrix techniques. A combination of spectral collocation and finite differences can further improve the performance. The code developed is then applied in order to revisit and complete the parametric analyses on global instability of the compressible swept Hiemenz flow initiated in (THEOFILIS; FEDOROV; COLLIS, 2004) and obtain neutral curves of this flow as a function of the Mach number in the 0 \'< OU =\' Ma \'< OU =\' 1 range. The present numerical results fully confirm the asymptotic theory results presented in (THEOFILIS; FEDOROV; COLLIS, 2004). This work presents a complete parametric study of the instability properties of modal three dimensional disturbances in the subsonic range for the flow conguration at hand. Up to the subsonic maximum Mach number value studied, it is found that an increase in this parameter reduces the critical Reynolds number and the range of the unstable spanwise wavenumbers.
