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 ...

Rotating boundary layer dynamics is a critical field within fluid mechanics that addresses the behaviour of fluid layers adjacent to rotating surfaces. The interplay of centrifugal forces, Coriolis ...

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 ...

Physicists have shown how liquids on solid surfaces can be made to slide over the surface a bit like a bobsleigh on ice. The key is to apply a coating at the boundary between the liquid and the ...

A typical challenge for re-entry vehicles during flight is an effective control of hypersonic transition and the laminar/turbulent state of the boundary layer. The state of the boundary layer is of ...

The upcoming test campaign at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC) is the culmination of the program that included ...

The boundary layer, a tiny layer on the surface of a body in a flowing fluid, such as an airplane wing in the air, is of paramount importance for the future of flight. Just over 100 years ago, Ludwig ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract In this paper a theoretical study is undertaken to investigate the structure of the lower branch neutral stability modes of three-dimensional ...

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 ...

The transfer of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and ammonia across fish gills is waterflow-dependent, oxygen being the most flow sensitive and ammonia the least, in the reverse order of their solubilities.
