Investigation of a Boundary Layer Flow near the Inflection Point of a Smooth Curve

چکیده
In this paper, the author investigates a generic type of the two dimensional incompressible viscous boundary layer flows near the inflection point of a smooth curve. In particular, an approximate evaluation of velocity distribution in an “adjacent” region of the inflection point of this curve is derived. Here, it is a priory assumed that this point is unique. Besides, the flow field is supposed to be steady throughout and Prandtl’s simplified assumptions for two dimensional boundary layer flows are also taken into consideration. Besides, if the cross – section of a structure can be simulated by such a curve one should denote that its inflection point is from technical aspect a very suitable place for emplacing a wind generator compared with the top of a curve, which is a stationary point, because if a wind generator was located on the top of a curve, it could be exhibited in unexpected strong blasts.

Stagnation-point flow of a viscous fluid towards a stretching surface with variable thickness and thermal radiation
In the present analysis, we study the boundary layer flow of an incompressible viscous fluid near the two-dimensional stagnation-point flow over a stretching surface. The effects of variable thickness and radiation are also taken into account and assumed that the sheet is non-flat. Using suitable transformations, the governing partial differential equations are first converted to ordin...

The flow duration curve (FDC) is a classical method used to graphically represent the relationship between the frequency and magnitude of stream flow. Several factors are involved in the shape of (FDC), including climatic and physiographic parameter of basin. In this research, the relationship between (FDC) and the physical parameters of the basin were investigated. 20 hydrometric stations with...
