Numerical Calculation of Time-Dependent Viscous Incompressible Flow of Fluid with Free Surface

Francis H. Harlow, J. Eddie Welch · 1 Dec 1965

A new technique is described for the numerical investigation of the time-dependent flow of an incompressible fluid, the boundary of which is partially confined and partially free. The full Navier-Stokes equations are written in finite-difference form, and the solution is accomplished by finite-time-step advancement. The primary dependent variables are the pressure and the velocity components.…

Equation of motion for a small rigid sphere in a nonuniform flow

Martin Maxey, James J. Riley · 1 Apr 1983

The forces on a small rigid sphere in a nonuniform flow are considered from first prinicples in order to resolve the errors in Tchen’s equation and the subsequent modified versions that have since appeared. Forces from the undisturbed flow and the disturbance flow created by the presence of the sphere are treated separately. Proper account…

Inertial Ranges in Two-Dimensional Turbulence

Robert H. Kraichnan · 1 Jul 1967

Two-dimensional turbulence has both kinetic energy and mean-square vorticity as inviscid constants of motion. Consequently it admits two formal inertial ranges, E(k)∼ε2/3k−5/3 and E(k)∼η2/3k−3, where ε is the rate of cascade of kinetic energy per unit mass, η is the rate of cascade of mean-square vorticity, and the kinetic energy per unit mass is ∫0∞E(k)…

Finite-Resistivity Instabilities of a Sheet Pinch

H. P. Furth, J. Killeen, M. N. Rosenbluth · 1 Apr 1963

The stability of a plane current layer is analyzed in the hydromagnetic approximation, allowing for finite isotropic resistivity. The effect of a small layer curvature is simulated by a gravitational field. In an incompressible fluid, there can be three basic types of ``resistive'' instability: a long-wave ``tearing'' mode, corresponding to breakup of the layer along…

The Physics of Fluids template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the The Physics of Fluids format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the The Physics of Fluids template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official AIP Publishing format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does The Physics of Fluids use?
The Physics of Fluids uses Numbered (AIP) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, and C. Lee, The Physics of Fluids 12, 45 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to The Physics of Fluids?
No. DocuGuru generates the revtex4-2 LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a AIP Publishing-ready The Physics of Fluids document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the The Physics of Fluids template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the The Physics of Fluids format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes The Physics of Fluids?
The Physics of Fluids is a physics journal published by AIP Publishing. DocuGuru's The Physics of Fluids template matches AIP Publishing's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready The Physics of Fluids PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official The Physics of Fluids template (the revtex4-2 class) that is ready to submit to AIP Publishing, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the The Physics of Fluids template cost?
You can start writing in the The Physics of Fluids template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready The Physics of Fluids PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
