HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN DISPERSED AND POROUS MEDIA FRACTAL PROPERTIES OF CAPILLARY IMBIBITION OF ROCKS
V. L. Barabanova and A. A. Lyubushinb

UDC 622.276
In a series of laboratory experiments, the deterministic and fractal parameters of spontaneous capillary imbibition
of rocks have been investigated. The capillary imbibition of higher-permeability samples was characterized
by a sharp increase in the saturation at the initial stage and a further increase that is not described
by the power law. Analysis of the parameters of the multifractal spectrum of water-saturation variations of
the investigated samples in the process of capillary imbibition has shown that the generalized Hurst constant
tends to decrease with time in the process of imbibition.
Keywords: deterministic and fractal parameters of spontaneous capillary imbibition of rocks, multifractal spectrum
of water-saturation variations.

A. I. Moshinskii

UDC 532.62:66.02
Consideration has been given to a model of heat- and mass-exchange processes in a porous body with two
types of pores that is suitable for description of the initial stage of penetration of a substance into a porous
system (or of the inverse process: withdrawal of a substance from it). Convective transfer of the substance is
allowed for in large channels (pores). The solution of the problem with supplementary conditions, which are
typical in practice and with which the kinetic function of imbibition (withdrawal) of the porous medium and
the density of the substance flux from the body were found, has been obtained. Certain limiting cases have
been investigated.
Keywords: mass exchange, porous body, two-component nature, imbibition.

The transient magnetohydrodynamic free convective flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting,
gray, absorbing–emitting, but non-scattering, optically thick fluid medium which occupies a semi-infinite porous
region adjacent to an infinite hot vertical plate moving with a constant velocity is analyzed. A uniform
magnetic field is assumed to be applied transversely to the flow. The Darcian viscous flow model for the porous
medium is used. The momentum and thermal boundary-layer equations under physically realistic boundary
conditions are solved through the use of the Laplace transform technique. The influence of the
characteristic parameters of the problem on the velocity, temperature, and shear stress is investigated.

at different values of the tangential and bottom blows. On the basis of the data obtained, the back
(adjoint) flow of air blown from the atmosphere through the outlet of the chamber (vortex ejection) was calculated.
The dependence of this flow on the relative radius of the outlet of the chamber, the Rossby number,
and the value of the bottom blow was determined.

INFLUENCE OF REYNOLDS AND STROUHAL NUMBERS ON THE DIRECTION OF THE WAVE FORCE ACTING
ON INCLUSIONS IN A STANDING SINUSOIDAL WAVE
L. A. Gubaidullin and P. P. Osipov

UDC 539.37
The inclusion drift in a standing sinusoidal fluid-velocity wave at various Reynolds and Strouhal numbers
under the action of the viscous force, the virtual mass force, and the buoyancy force has been investigated.
It has been established that at low frequencies the wave force of dense inclusions is directed to the nearest
node, and for loose inclusions it is directed to the antinode of the fluid-velocity wave. For a given inclusion
density, as the standing wave frequency increases, its threshold value, above which the direction of the wave
force reverses, is attained sooner or later. For various Reynolds and Strouhal numbers, the dependences of
the squared threshold drag coefficient on the inclusion density number have been found. These dependences
show that with increasing Reynolds and Strouhal numbers the threshold value of the squared drag coefficient
decreases markedly.
Keywords: particle drift, forces in acoustic wave fields.

O. V. Vysokomornaya, G. V. Kuznetsov, and P. A. Strizhak

UDC 536.4
The heat and mass transfer in the process of movement of water drops in a high-temperature gas medium
was numerically investigated. The regimes and conditions of formation of the zone of mutual influence of two
drops were determined on the basis of an analysis of the temperature and concentration fields of the water
vapor in the neighborhood of the trajectory of movement of the drops. The times of existence (complete
evaporation) of one and two drops as a result of their interaction with the high-temperature products of combustion
of a typical condensed liquid substance were compared. It has been established that only in the case
where the distance between the two drops is small is the intensity of evaporation of water from them substantially
lower than that of a single drop.

K. N. Volkov

UDC 532.529
The flow of a compressible viscous fluid in a channel with a blow was numerically simulated. The results of
a computational experiment were compared with approximate solutions and calculation data presented in the
literature. The results obtained allow one to estimate the role of the compressibility of a fluid in the formation
of the structure of its flow in a channel with permeable walls. It has been established that the compressibility
of this fluid leads to an increase in the curvature of the lines of its flow near the blow surface and to
a filling of the profile of the axial velocity of the flow.
Keywords: blow, channel, compressibility, numerical simulation.

A numerical analysis of the laminar regime of heat transfer in a square enclosure with finite-thickness heatconducting
walls in the presence of a constant-temperature heat-releasing element under the conditions of radiative
heat exchange has been made in a surface-radiation approximation. A mathematical model has been
formulated in dimensionless variables "stream function–vorticity–temperature," which was realized numerically
by the finite-difference method. Temperature and streamline distributions reflecting the influence of the reduced
emissivity factor of interior surfaces of enclosing walls, of the relative thermal-conductivity coefficient,
and of the factor of unsteadiness on the flow regimes and heat transfer have been obtained.

ON THE APPEARANCE OF SELF-OSCILLATORY CONDITIONS OF GAS AND GAS-DROPLET MIXTURE FLOW OUT
OF A VESSEL INTO A COUNTERPRESSURE MEDIUM
V. I. Timoshenko and V. P. Galinskii

UDC 533.6.01
The present paper discusses the problem of flow of a gas and a gas-dispersion mixture out of a vessel with
given pressure and stagnation temperature through a channel into a medium with a given pressure. The influence
of energy and gas mass supplies distributed over the channel length, as well as of the kind of injected
gas and its combustion, on the flow character is analyzed. On the basis of the analysis of the results of the
numerical solution of quasi-one-dimensional dynamic equations of the gas and the gas-dispersion mixture, it
has been shown that at a certain intensity of the considered actions the transition of the flow conditions from
stationary to self-oscillatory ones can take place. From the viewpoint of the homogeneous and two-velocitytwo-
temperature models of the gas-droplet mixture the main laws of the influence of droplet evaporation on
the parameters of this transition have been elucidated.
Keywords: self-oscillations, channel flow, mass and energy supply, two-phase medium, homogeneous model,
quasi-one-dimensional equations, numerical calculation.

G. A. Voropaev and N. F. Dimitrieva

UDC 532.517.4:532.526.4
A model of transfer of the Reynolds stresses in a turbulent flow of a low-concentration aqueous polymer solution,
taking into account the weight of the polymer and its concentration in this solution, is proposed. The
influence of a polymer additive in such a solution on the turbulent diffusion and the redistribution of turbulent
energy between the Reynolds-stress tensor components was numerically investigated. It is shown that a
high-molecular-weight polymer additive in the indicated flow plays a crucial role in changing the intensity of
the energy exchange between the turbulent-stress components, which manifests itself as an increase in the anisotropy
of the solution and a decrease in the turbulent-energy production and leads to a decrease in the friction
drag in the flow.
Keywords: polymer solution, turbulent boundary layer, friction drag, Toms effect, Reynolds-stress tensor.
