Non-Linear Effects of Transverse Gravity Field in Cavity Flow.

Abstract

A Non-linear analysis has been made to determine the effects of the transverse gravity field on steady cavity flow past a symmetric wedge. Tulin's single-spiral cavity model is used to represent the flow and conformal mapping and Riemann-Hilbert technique have been employed to obtain the numerical solution. The present theory shows that the cavity length for the gravity solution is smaller and lies entirely within the gravity-free case. Also, the charge in the drag coefficient from the non-gravity case to the gravity case is small. (Author)
