FLOW VISUALISATION AROUND A SOLID SPHERE ON A ROUGH BED UNDER REGULAR WAVES

On Coherent Structures of Turbulent Open-channel Flow Above a Rough Bed

Present study examines turbulent structures of a rough bed open-channel flow in the context of deterministic approach. Instantaneous velocity field is measured in different hydraulic conditions using two dimensional Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) in vertical plane and Stereoscopic PIV in horizontal plane. Different techniques and quantities such as swirl strength, two-point and cross-correlat...

Effects of Radiation on Natural Convection Flow around a Sphere

The effects of radiation on natural convection flow around a sphere with uniform surface heat flux have been investigated in this paper. We have considered here a sphere with uniform surface heat flux immersed in a viscous incompressible optically thick fluid. The governing equations are first transformed into non-dimensional form and the resulting nonlinear systems of partial differential equa...

Flow Visualization Around a Non - Circular Tube

The flow behavior around a cam shaped tube in cross flow has been investigated experimentally using flow visualization and pressure distribution measurement. The range of attack angle and Reynolds number based on an equivalent circular diameter are within 0 ≤ α ≤ 360˚ and 2 x 104 < Reeq < 3.4 x 104, respectively. The pressure drag features are clarified in relation to the flow behavior around t...

Cusp-Ended Stagnation Zone. Flow around a Sphere

The classical Helmholtz problem is applied for modelling the axisymmetric inviscid cusp-ended separated flow around a sphere. Two coordinate systems are employed: polar for initial calculations and parabolic the latter being more suitable for investigation of infinitely long stagnation zones. Scaled coordinates are introduced and difference schemes for the free-stream equation and the Bernoulli...
