E ′. N. Bereslavskii UDC 532.546
In the hydrodynamic formulation, two-dimensional steady filtration in homogeneous isotropic ground from canals
through a soil layer to the underlying highly permeable pressure water-bearing stratum is considered in
the presence of the ground capillarity and evaporation from the free surface. To study filtration, a combined
multiparametric boundary-value problem of the theory of analytical functions is formulated, which is solved
using the P. Ya. Polubarinova-Kochina method and procedures of conformal mapping of regions of a special
kind that are characteristic of the problems of subsurface hydromechanics. On the basis of this model an algorithm
of calculating the capillary water spreading and the filtration discharge is developed for the situations
where in water filtration from canals provision is made for the ground capillarity, evaporation from
the free-surface of groundwater, and the additional pressure from the side of water of the underlying wellpermeable
bed. With the aid of the obtained accurate analytical relations and numerical calculations a hydrodynamic

as of the effect of all physical parameters of the scheme on the filtration characteristics.

TOWARD THE THEORY OF CONVECTION IN A ROTATING STRATIFIED MEDIUM
OVER A THERMALLY INHOMOGENEOUS HORIZONTAL SURFACE
L. Kh. Ingel’ and M. V. Belyaeva UDC 532.517.013.4+551.558
Stationary convection in a rotating medium uniformly heated from above and nonuniformly cooled from below
has been studied analytically in the linear approximation. As distinct from a number of previous works, the
case of the presence of both a stable background stratification and of intense rotation around a vertical axis
has been analyzed. One of the interesting properties of the solution found is that despite the stable stratification
the perturbations of temperature, pressure, and of the vertical velocity over the thermal inhomogeneities
of the horizontal surface, in the case of strong rotation, penetrate deep into the medium (up to heights of the
order of the horizontal scales of the inhomogeneities mentioned.) The ascending motions over the "warm spot"
transfer relatively cold volumes of the medium upwards, so that beginning from a certain level a vast "cold"
region can be formed and the related positive deviation of pressure (of the weight of the medium column).
This leads to the formation of the anticyclonic vortex perturbation.
Keywords: convection, horizontal thermal inhomogeneities, rotating stratified media, linear approximation, analytical
solutions.

The turbulent axisymmetric flow around a stepped body — a cylinder with coaxial front and rear disks — has
been calculated with the aid of a VP2/3 package based on multiblock computational technologies and the
generalized procedure of pressure correction. The computational model has been tested with the example of a
supersonic flow around a sphere. The numerical forecasts made with the use of Spalart–Allmares shear stress
transfer and eddy viscosity transfer models have been compared with the data of the aeroballistic experiment,
wind tunnel tests, and the results of the calculation of the flow around the disk–cylinder arrangement by a
simplified zonal model in a wide range of variation of the incident flow Mach number (from 1.5 to 4). We
have obtained a good agreement between the calculated transverse flow density distributions in the front stalling
zone and those determined from the interferograms for the wave-drag-rational disk–cylinder arrangement.
The influence of the rear disk on the drag of the disk–cylinder–disk arrangement has been estimated.

and M. Z. Yusoff
UDC 536.2
This paper presents an experimental technique to estimate the appropriate thermal product values of rugged
and fast response temperature probes (TPs) for hypersonic aerodynamic experiments. Two types of scratches
were used, mainly abrasive papers with different grit sizes and scalpel blades with different thicknesses, to
form the probe junction. The effect of the scratch technique on the probe’s thermal product is investigated.
The probes are tested and calibrated in the test section and in the end wall of shock tube facility. It is observed
that the thermal product of a particular TP depends on the Mach number, junction scratch technique,
and junction location, as well as on the enthalpy conditions. It is noted that, depending on the scratch technique,
some of the TPs do not require individual calibration; however, calibration for others is likely to be
needed.

UDC 621.382:621.315.592
The possibilities of obtaining linear and nonlinear profiles of the impurity distribution by liquid epitaxy are
studied. Analytical expressions are obtained for the profile of the impurity distribution in epitaxial layers
grown from solutions-melts with a constant volume and with a varying volume, where a variation in the volume
of the basic solution-melt and in the amount of the doping impurity in it is achieved by mixing, to it, an
additional saturated solution through the capillary opening. It is shown that in this case the profile of the impurity
distribution is determined by the velocity of feed of the additional solution-melt. Comparisons of experimental
data with calculated results are presented.

UDC 536.25
The paper is devoted to the numerical solution of the problem of flow of a micropolar fluid over a curved
stretching surface. A similarity transformation is applied to reduce a system of partial differential equations
to a system of ordinary differential equations. The numerical solution of these coupled equations is carried
out by the shooting method using the Runge–Kutta algorithm. The physical quantities of interest, like the fluid
velocity, microrotation velocity, and pressure, are obtained and discussed as functions of the nondimensional
curvature radius. It is evident from the results that the pressure inside the boundary layer cannot be neglected
for a curved stretching sheet, as distinct from a flat stretching sheet.
