A stationary viscous jet falling from an oriented nozzle onto a moving surface is studied, both theoretically and experimentally. We distinguish three flow regimes and classify them by the convexity of the jet shape (concave, vertical and convex). The fluid is modeled as a Newtonian fluid, and the model for the flow includes viscous effects, inertia and gravity. By studying the characteristics of the conservation of momentum for a dynamic jet, the boundary conditions for each flow regime are derived, and the flow regimes are characterized in terms of the process and material parameters. The model is solved by a transformation into an algebraic equation. We make a comparison between the model and experiments, and obtain qualitative agreement.

In a recent paper, Liu, Zhu and Wu (2015, {it J. Fluid Mech.} {bf 784}: 304) present a force theory for a body in a two-dimensional, viscous, compressible and steady flow. In this companion paper we do the same for three-dimensional flow. Using the fundamental solution of the linearized Navier-Stokes equations, we improve the force formula for incompressible flow originally derived by Goldstein in 1931 and summarized by Milne-Thomson in 1968, both being far from complete, to its perfect final form, which is further proved to be universally true from subsonic to supersonic flows. We call this result the textit{unified force theorem}, which states that the forces are always determined by the vector circulation $pGamma_phi$ of longitudinal velocity and the scalar inflow $Q_psi$ of transverse velocity. Since this theorem is not directly observable either experimentally or computationally, a testable version is also derived, which, however, holds only in the linear far field. We name this version the textit{testable unified force formula}. After that, a general principle to increase the lift-drag ratio is proposed.
An elastic sheet that deforms near a solid substrate in a viscous fluid is a situation relevant to various dynamical processes in biology, geophysics and engineering. Here, we study the relaxation dynamics of an elastic plate resting on a thin viscous film that is supported by a solid substrate. By combining scaling analysis, numerical simulations and experiments, we identify asymptotic regimes for the elastohydrodynamic leveling of a surface perturbation of the form of a bump, when the flow is driven by either the elastic bending of the plate or thermal fluctuations. In both cases, two distinct regimes are identified when the bump height is either much larger or much smaller than the thickness of the pre-wetted viscous film. Our analysis reveals a distinct crossover between the similarity exponents with the ratio of the perturbation height to the film height.
One method and two results are contributed to the complete understanding about MHD laminar flow in annular channel with transverse magnetic field in this paper. In terms of the method, a computationally cheap semi-analytic algorithm is developed based on spectral method and perturbation expansion of Reynolds number $Re$. By virtue of the fast computation, numerous calculating examples with almost continuous varying Hartmann number $M$ and cross-section ratio $eta$ are performed to explore the flow patterns that are missed in previous research. In terms of the results of inertialess regime, we establish the average velocity map and electric-flow coupling demarcation in $eta$-$M$ space. Six phenomenological flow patterns and their analytical approaches are identified according to the boundary layers and electrically coupling modes. In terms of the results of inertial regime, we examine the law of decreasing order-of-magnitude of inertial perturbation on primary flow with increasing Hartmann number. It is identified the proposed semi-analytic solution coincides with the $Re^2/M^{4}$ suppression theory of Baylis & Hunt (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 43, 1971, pp. 423-428) in the case of $M<40$. When $M>40$, the pair of trapezoid vortices of secondary flow begins to crack and there is therefore a faster drop in inertial perturbation as $Re^2/M^{5}$, which is a new suppression theory. When $M>80$, the anomalous reverse vortices are fully developed near Shercliff layers resulting in the slower suppression mode of $Re^2/M^{2.5}$, which confirms the prediction of Tabeling & Chabrerie (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 103, 1981, pp. 225-239).
We study the deformation and transport of elastic fibers in a viscous Hele-Shaw flow with curved streamlines. The variations of the global velocity and orientation of the fiber follow closely those of the local flow velocity. The ratios of the curvatures of the fibers by the corresponding curvatures of the streamlines reflect a balance between elastic and viscous forces: this ratio is shown experimentally to be determined by a dimensionless {it Sperm number} $Sp$ combining the characteristic parameters of the flow (transverse velocity gradient, viscosity, fiber diameter/cell gap ratio) and those of the fiber (diameter, effective length, Youngs modulus). For short fibers, the effective length is that of the fiber; for long ones, it is equal to the transverse characteristic length of the flow. For $S_p lesssim 250$, the ratio of the curvatures increases linearly with $Sp$; For $S_p gtrsim 250$, the fiber reaches the same curvature as the streamlines.
In a recent paper, Liu et al. [``Lift and drag in three-dimensional steady viscous and compressible flow, Phys. Fluids 29, 116105 (2017)] obtained a universal theory for the aerodynamic force on a body in three-dimensional steady flow, effective from incompressible all the way to supersonic regimes. In this theory, the total aerodynamic force can be determined solely with the vorticity distribution on a single wake plane locating in the steady linear far field. Despite the vital importance of this result, its validity and performance in practice has not been investigated yet. In this paper, we performed Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations of subsonic, transonic, and supersonic flows over a three-dimensional wing. The aerodynamic forces obtained from the universal force theory are compared with that from the standard wall-stress integrals. The agreement between these two formulas confirms for the first time the validity of the theory in three-dimensional steady viscous and compressible flow. The good performance of the universal formula is mainly due to the fact that the turbulent viscosity in the wake is much larger than the molecular viscosity therein, which can reduce significantly the distance of the steady linear far field from the body. To further confirm the correctness of the theory, comparisons are made for the flow structures on the wake plane obtained from the analytical results and numerical simulations. The underlying physics relevant to the universality of the theory is explained by identifying different sources of vorticity in the wake.
