Time-dependent flow dynamics within a cylinder with sidewall mass injection are investigated. A time-dependent injection velocity, prescribed along the sidewall boundary of a long, narrow, half-open cylinder, induces a low Mach number, high Reynolds number flow. The injection is the source of planar acoustic disturbances which interact with the injected fluid to produce vorticity on the sidewall in an inviscid manner. The analysis of these flow processes is based on the Navier-Stokes equations, which are reduced to simpler forms using a multiple-scale asymptotic analysis. The equations that arise from the analysis describe the leading-order vorticity dynamics. These nonlinear equations possess both wave and diffusion properties and are solved in an initial value sense. The results show that the vorticity produced at the sidewall convects toward the center of the cylinder, diffuses radially, and convects downstream. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics.
