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.

The book “Turbulent Flow and Boundary Layer Theory: Selected Topics and Solved Problems ” is focused on the outgrowth of our several years of teaching postgraduate courses in mechanical ...

Finally, there is the wake, where the boundary layer flow is least affected by the boundary, according to a formula by von Kármán. The fluid flows quicker farther from the boundary, but its ...

While relatively weak compared to traditional tornadoes, landspouts can be strong enough to cause damage and warrant caution.

At supersonic speeds, however, sufficient heat is generated by viscous dissipation in the boundary layer to change the density of the fluid significantly. Figure 8. Flow in a channel, showing boundary ...

When it comes to engines, everyone is always looking for more. More horsepower, more torque, more efficiency. One company has ...

However, when frictional effects are small, a flow may be approximately reversible. For instance, in the flow through a large duct where the boundary layers are very thin, viscous effects are confined ...

In the boundary layer, flow velocity changes from zero at the floor surface to the undisturbed wind velocity at the top of the layer.

In an experiment on how turbulent boundary layers respond to acceleration in the flow around them, aerospace engineers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign observed an unexpected ...
