With respect to their dependence on time, unsteady problems ‘may be ciassted as transient or periodic. Also, each transient ot periodic problem ‘may involve a starting, a steady, and an ending time interval, as shown in Fig. 6.1 ‘Among these problems, we are interested only in periodi problems, more particularly, in the steady part of these. Clearly, the steady part of the solution of a periodic roblem should be simpler than its transient (or complete) solution, which is often involved, if not impossible to obtain. Yet, in many practical applications, such as the flow and heat transfer associated with vibrating components, reciprocating engines, and so on, the steady part of periodic solutions is quite important. ORIGIN OF METHOD—LINEAR PROBLEMS Consider a convection problem involving a periodic boundary disturbance ota periodic ‘olume disturbance. The most frequent boundary disturbance for convection problems is the fluctuating inlet or upstream velocity or temperature; the most frequent volume isturbance is fluctuating pressure gradient or body force or a fluctuating internal energy generation 20 Ch Sire ranformation for © constant into the ordinary differential equation (5.3.19).
