An exact axisymmetric spiral solution of incompressible 3D Euler equations

Liang Sun

Spiral structure is one of the most common structures in the nature flows. A general steady spiral solution of incompressible inviscid axisymmetric flow was obtained analytically b…

Onset of unsteady horizontal convection in rectangle tank at

Liang Sun, Dong-Jun MA, Wei Zhang +1

The horizontal convection within a rectangle tank is numerically simulated. The flow is found to be unsteady at high Rayleigh numbers. There is a Hopf bifurcation of from stea…
