Recent advances have significantly enhanced our understanding of the complex fluid dynamics surrounding wind turbine blades. By employing non-invasive imaging techniques such as infrared thermography, ...

Stereoscopic flow visualization is being used to investigate the structure and evolution of a low Reynolds number turbulent boundary layer. The boundary layer has a Reynolds number based on momentum ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences Information on transition from laminar to turbulent flow in boundary layers on streamline bodies of revolution ...

In an experiment on how turbulent boundary layers respond to acceleration in the flow around them, aerospace engineers at the observed an unexpected internal boundary layer. In an experiment on how ...

The flow is from bottom to top. The Reynolds number based on momentum thickness at the midpoint of the volume is 700. A passive scalar has been introduced into the flow along a spanwise line at the ...

Turbulent Flow and Boundary Layer Theory: Selected Topics and Solved Problems explains fundamental concepts of turbulent flow with boundary layer analysis. A general introduction to turbulent flow ...

We consider the laminar boundary-layer flow past a semi-infinite plate with a stream-wise ridge. We seek similarity solutions to the problem, when the freestream velocity takes the form x* n, where x* ...

Turbulence makes many people uneasy or downright queasy. And it's given researchers a headache, too. Mathematicians have been trying for a century or more to understand the turbulence that arises when ...
