Stabilizing Effects of Coriolis Force upon Two-Dimensional Turbulent Boundary Layer

Turbulent boundary layer control utilizing the Lorentz force

Direct numerical simulations ~DNS! of a turbulent channel flow at low Reynolds number (Ret 5100,200,400, where Ret is the Reynolds number based on the wall-shear velocity and channel half-width! are carried out to examine the effectiveness of using the Lorentz force to reduce skin friction. The Lorentz force is created by embedding electrodes and permanent magnets in the flat surface over which...

Turbulent Boundary-Layer Separation

This article summarizes our present understanding of the physical behavior of two-dimensional turbulent separated flows, which occur due to adverse pressure gradients around streamlined and bluff bodies. The physical behavior of turbulence is flow dependent, so detailed experimental infor­ mation is needed for understanding such flows and modeling their physics for calculation methods. An earli...

Turbulent boundary layer equations

We study a boundary layer problem for the Navier-Stokes-alpha model obtaining a generalization of the Prandtl equations conjectured to represent the averaged flow in a turbulent boundary layer. We solve the equations for the semi-infinite plate, both theoretically and numerically. The latter solutions agree with some experimental data in the turbulent boundary layer.

Simulation of particle diffusion and heat transfer in a two-phase turbulent boundary layer using the Eulerian-Eulerian approach

This work investigates the response of two-dimensional, turbulent boundary layer characteristics over a flat plate to the presence of suspended particulate matter. Both phases are assumed to be interacting continua. That is, the carrier fluid equations are considered to be coupled with the particle-phase equations. A finite-difference technique with non-uniform grid has been employed for the so...
