Wall Roughness Effects on Combustion Development in Confined Supersonic Flow

the effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends

flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...

Supersonic Combustion Flow Visualization at Hypersonic Flow

Currently, a new generation of scientific aerospace vehicles, using advanced hypersonic airbreathing propulsion based on supersonic combustion technology, is in development at several research centers [1]. The 14-X Brazilian Hypersonic Aerospace Vehicle, Figure 1, designed by Rolim et al. [2], at the Prof. Henry T. Nagamatsu Laboratory of Aerothermodynamics and Hypersonics, Figure 2, at the Ins...

Effects of wall roughness on flow in nanochannels.

Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation is applied to investigate the effect of periodic wall roughness on the flow of liquid argon through krypton nanochannels. The effect of the length of a rectangular protrusion on the flow is investigated and compared to the case of nanochannels with flat walls. The results show a clear trapping of fluid atoms inside the rectangular cavities that are f...

Supersonic Laminar Flow Control on Swept Wings Using Distributed Roughness

The present work addresses a new technology development that can lead to drag reduction on supersonic aircraft by means of passive laminar flow control (LFC). Recent developments in the understanding of stability and transition in swept-wing flows in low-disturbance environments have offered the promise of controlling transition without the use of complicated systems. The principal control prob...
