A cybernetic approach to the problem of pouring flows

A cybernetic approach to the problem of pouring flows Purpose – This study aims to calculate 2D free surface potential flow of a liquid poured from a container when the liquid runs along the underside of the spout. Design/methodology/approach – The effect of surface tension is taken into consideration and gravity is neglected. The solutions for the free‐surface profiles were computed numerically using a boundary‐integral equation. Findings – The numerical computation shows that the solutions are found for different values of α and a train of capillary waves in the far field for 4.16≤ α <10. Research limitations/implications – No solutions were found for α <4.16. Originality/value – The study provides an application of the use of cybernetic methodology to a practical problem. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Kybernetes Emerald Publishing

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to calculate 2D free surface potential flow of a liquid poured from a container when the liquid runs along the underside of the spout. Design/methodology/approach – The effect of surface tension is taken into consideration and gravity is neglected. The solutions for the free‐surface profiles were computed numerically using a boundary‐integral equation. Findings – The numerical computation shows that the solutions are found for different values of α and a train of capillary waves in the far field for 4.16≤ α <10. Research limitations/implications – No solutions were found for α <4.16. Originality/value – The study provides an application of the use of cybernetic methodology to a practical problem.
