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 ...

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 away from the viewer, from the lower left to the upper right. The Reynolds number based on momentum thickness at the midpoint of the volume is 700. A passive scalar has been introduced ...

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 ...

Diffusive boundary layers (DBL), sediment oxygen flux, and natural passive flow through model macrofauna burrows were compared in two benthic chambers: one with a conventional rotational stirrer and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Experiments were conducted in the Unsteady Pressure Gradients Facility in the Aerodynamics Research Laboratory at UIUC. The facility comprises a boundary layer wind tunnel and a removable installation ...
