Propagation Calculations for a Parabolic Velocity Profile

The Design of Axisymmetric Ducts for Incompressible Flow with a Parabolic Axial Velocity Inlet Profile

In this paper a numerical algorithm is described for solving the boundary value problem associated with axisymmetric, inviscid, incompressible, rotational (and irrotational) flow in order to obtain duct wall shapes from prescribed wall velocity distributions. The governing equations are formulated in terms of the stream function ( , ) x y and the function ( , ) x y as independent variables wher...

Quenching Profile for a Quasilinear Parabolic Equation

where 00, Z>0, and uq(x) >0, Vx G [—1, Z]. Without loss of generality, we may assume that uq(x) is smooth and bounded above by 1 such that uo(±Z) = 1. Since uo(x) is positive, the local (in time) existence and uniqueness of a classical solution of the problem (1.1)—(1.3) are trivial (see [8]). Many results in quenching, such as single point quenching and profiles, are similar to those b...

A semi-analytical model for velocity profile at wind turbine wake using blade element momentum

The shape of wake behind a wind turbine is normally assumed to have a hat shape for the models used in wind farm layout optimization purposes; however, it is know from experimental tests and numerical simulations that this is not a real assumption. In reality, the results of actual measurements and detailed numerical simulation show that the velocity in wake region has a S-shape profile. Th...
