Implicit Function Theory Applications; Part 0
I developed analytical solutions for a couple of simple transient compressible fluid flow problems that include fluid-structure interactions. I think the problems and solutions might be candidates for standard problems / benchmarks / Method of Exact Solutions.
Implicit function theory is an important aspect of the analytical solutions. Getting the required implicit function theory results was proving to take more pages and space that the analytical solutions. I decided to document those results in these separate notes. The results needed for the analytical solutions are given in the latter part of the notes, beginning with Variable Fluid Control Volume.
I have uploaded a Table that is in landscape and that I don’t now how to get into a portrait layout-document. That Table is here and should open in a separate window.
There are tons and tons of algebra associated with this work; straightforward but tedious algebra. I have checked and re-checked but maybe haven’t cleared out all the errors. If you plan to use any of this material, let me know what is of interest and I’ll work with you to ensure that the equations are correct.
The PDF file is here and should open in a separate window.
Update February 26, 2011
A corrected version of Table 3 is here. There was a bug in the first column of the third row.
Update January 14, 2011
There’s a typo in Eq. (1.8). The X_sub i in the last line ( the bottom part of the bottom ) should be Y_sub i. That’s a strange kind of bug; a typo in a nemonic device.
In the Section, The Bridgman Method, I say:
I have uploaded the table as a PDF file and provided this URL link in my post: https://edaniel.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/testbridgmantable.pdf . You’ll have to copy-n-paste the link into your browser.
That is the same Table mentioned in the Post, and you don’t have to copy-n-paste the URL; it’ll open from the PDF.
Note that Eq. (1.33) can be written in terms of the square of the sound speed.
And in a few places following Tables of derivatives, I said that the entropy derivatives had not been reduced when in fact they are shown reduced form in the tables.
Let me know if you find any problems.
