A pure fusion cutting process just above melting point is con- sidered, where the molten steel velocity is given as a function of the two acting forces represented by the pressure gradient and the frictional forces applied by the laminar gas flow. In the case of nitrogen assisting gas, the stainless steel melt film exhibits a visible separation point. The point where the melt flow is separated out from the solid wall depends strongly on the gas velocity. It is pushed down the cut surface when the gas velocity is increased. Furthermore, we have investgated the use of different inert gases (nitrogen, argon and helium) to blow the molten material out of the kerf, and it was noted that the argon and the nitrogen gases evacuate more easily the molten metallic film, compared to the helium gas from their cooling rates point of view. It is concluded that the two first gases are more efficient in ...

European Journal of Mechanics - B/Fluids

Appl. 22, 261-273 (1978; Zbl 0391.76018)] for the calculation of steady gravity waves is extended to steady capillary-gravity waves in deep water. Introduction of surface tension provides an additional term in the quadratic identities between the Fourier coefficients in Stokes’s expansion. This term is reduced to a simple function of the slope of the local tangent to the profile of the free surface. A set of nonlinear algebraic equations is derived and solved using Newton’s method. Good agreement is found between the present results and those given by previous methods. Limiting profiles of gravity-like waves are accurately calculated, and a new family of limiting gravity waves is found.

Research paper thumbnail of On the superharmonic instability of nonlinear three-dimensional interfacial waves of two infinite layers

European Journal of Mechanics - B/Fluids, 2016

Abstract Linear superharmonic stability analysis of nonlinear short-crested gravity interfacial w... more Abstract Linear superharmonic stability analysis of nonlinear short-crested gravity interfacial waves between two semi-infinite fluids is numerically investigated. Like short-crested free surface waves, superharmonic instabilities correspond to the harmonic resonance phenomenon. The basic flow is calculated with a perturbation method and expansions are summed using Pade approximants. It is found that these instabilities develop near the poles due to harmonic resonance. The obtained results show that the instability of maximal growth rate develops for a density ratio μ = 0.08 and occurs sporadically. In addition, for μ = 0.34 , the maximum growth rate is negligible and hence, for this value the short-crested interfacial waves are stable to superharmonic perturbations.

Research paper thumbnail of Numerical Evidence For The Existence of A New Type of Steady Gravity Waves On Deep Water

Egs General Assembly Conference Abstracts, 2002

A new type of steady steep two-dimensional irrotational symmetric periodic gravity waves on invis... more A new type of steady steep two-dimensional irrotational symmetric periodic gravity waves on inviscid incompressible fluid of infinite depth is revealed. The Bernoulli equation is quadratic in velocity and admits two values of the particle speed at the crest. The first one is smaller than the wave phase speed c and corresponds to the Stokes branch. The second one is greater than c and should correspond to a new type of waves. These waves are found to have sharper crests in comparison with the Stokes waves of the same wavelength and steepness. Because of this we named them "the spike waves". To give numerical evidence we used several independent methods: (i) Fourier approximations. The elevation (x) of a free surface and the velocity po- tential (x, y) are looked for in the form of series in terms of the basis functions exp(inx) and exp n(y + ix) , respectively, x and y being the horizontal and vertical coordinates, and n being a positive integer. (ii) Fourier approximations with singularities. The basis functions for the velocity po- n tential are 1/ 1 - exp(y0 - y - ix) , y0 being a free parameter. Herein a countable number of isolated singular points at y = y0 are to be located outside the flow do- main for calculating potential periodic progressive waves. Otherwise, the local vortex structures may be studied. (iii) Inverse Fourier approximations. The velocity potential and the stream function are used as independent variables. The spatial coordinates are expanded into series in terms of the functions exp n(-/c + i/c) . For the almost-highest spike waves, the routine may converge to different sets of val- ues for the unknowns depending on starting conditions. This non-uniqueness is pos- sibly caused by the superharmonic or crest instabilities, which were investigated in detail by Longuet-Higgins et al. for the Stokes branch. The results obtained for the almost-highest Stokes waves are in sufficient agreement with the high accuracy calcu- lations by the program of Prof. M. Tanaka, which he kindly placed at our disposal. This research has been supported by INTAS Grant 99-1637.

It is assumed that the whole absorbed laser energy is used in melting the kerf volume, which means that we deal with a pure fusion cutting process. The velocity of molten steel is given as a function of the two acting forces on it: the pressure gradient and the frictional forces of gas flow. In the case of nitrogen assisting gas, the stainless steel melt film exhibits a clear separation point which depends strongly on the gas velocity. Indeed, we have obtained a displacement of its position when the gas velocity is increased. The influence of the nature of the inert gas on the quality of the cut surface is also investigated. For that, various inert gases (nitrogen, argon and helium) are used to blow the molten material out of the kerf without taking into account the transverse movement of the treated workpiece. We have noted that argon and nit...

A discussion of the influence of such prominent parameters as Reynolds number, wall thickness and temperature level is undertaken to determine the relative importance of all the heat transfer processes involved.
