Entrance Loss for Turbulent Flow without Swirl between Parallel Discs

Forced Response: Turbulent Swirl Combustor

Since a large number of physical variables are involved in the combustion process occurring in complex swirl stabilized combustors, simple systems (burner stabilized laminar flat flames) were initially studied (see chapters 5 and 6). Having understood the dynamics of laminar flat flames and developed methodologies to build reduced order flame dynamic models, the technique developed to measure t...

Elastico-Viscous Flow between Two Rotating Discs of Different Transpiration for High Reynolds Numbers (RESEARCH NOTE)

The flow in an elastico-viscous fluid between two co-axial infinite rotating porous discs is considered for high cross flow Reynolds number. The discs are rotating with different angular velocity and the injection rate of the fluid at one disc is different from the suction rate of other disc. The effect of suction parameters on the velocity components have been investigated numerically and solv...

Turbulent protostellar discs

Aspects of turbulence in protostellar accretion discs are being reviewed. The emergence of dead zones due to poor ionization and alternatives to the magneto-rotational instability are discussed. The coupling between dust and gas in protostellar accretion discs is explained and the turbulent drag is compared with laminar drag in the Stokes and Epstein regimes. Finally, the significance of magnet...

Part III Swirl Stabilized Turbulent Flame Dynamics

Turbulent Flow over Cars

In this paper the flow behaviour over a number of car bodies is studied. For this purpose the unsteady 2-D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations have been applied. After averaging and nondimensionalizing the equations, the system of equations has been transformed from the Cartesian (x-y) coordinates to a body fitted generalized (-) coordinate. As the flow is incompressible, the density in the ...
