Effect of altitude is discussed in the unsteady separation of multi stage rockets. Axisymmetric, unsteady and turbulent Navier stokes equations are solved numerically. The governing equations are split into a hyperbolic inviscid part and a parabolic diffusion part. The hyperbolic part is solved by an explicit second-order time and space of Godunov-type scheme. Moving mesh and moving boundary al...

Thin-plate weirs are commonly used as measuring devices in flumes and channels, enabling an accurate discharge measurement with simple instruments. The calibration formulae of such devices rely upon some empirical coefficients and there is a need to obtain new accurate physical data to complement the existing evidence. In the present study, the discharge calibration of a large 901 V-notch thin ...

Simulation results on dynamic yaw stability derivatives of a gull bird by means of computational fluid dynamics are presented. Two different kinds of motions are used for determining the dynamic yaw stability derivatives Nr C and β& N C . Concerning the first one, simple lateral translation and yaw rotary motions in yaw are considered. The second one consists of combined motions. To determine d...

A hardware-based approach for visualizing unsteady flow fields by means of Lagrangian-Eulerian advection is presented. Both noise-based and dyebased texture advection is supported. The implementation allows the advection of each texture to be performed completely on the graphics hardware in a single-pass rendering. We discuss experiences with the interactive visualization of unsteady flow field...

We present dye visualizations of the flow generated by a sphere rolling along a solid surface in a quiescent fluid at low Reynolds numbers. Recent experimental and numerical studies of this configuration (Stewart et al. 2008, 2010) have shown a transition from steady to periodic flow at a Reynolds number Re (based on the sphere diameter and rolling speed) near 100. The unsteady flow involves th...

the unsteady flow in porous medium of a viscous incompressible fluid bounded by two parallel porous plates is studied with heat transfer. a uniform and constant pressure gradient is applied in the axial direction whereas a uniform suction and injection are applied in the direction normal to the plates. the two plates are kept at constant and different temperatures and the viscous dissipation is...

In this paper, the unsteady flow of non-Newtonian fluid through a porous medium when an external magnetic field is applied is investigated. The non linear equation of motion is transformed to a similarity differential equation which is solved using the method of successive approximations. The rheological effects are shown and discussed on the velocity profile in terms of rheological parameter o...

in the present study, the nonlinear model of non-newtonian blood flow in cosine-shape stenosed elastic artery is numerically examined. the model is carried out for axisymmetric, two-dimensional and fully developed blood flow. the vessel wall is assumed to be have time-dependent radius that is important factor for study of blood flow. the cosine-shape stenosis convert to rigid artery by using a ...

Much effort has been undertaken for the estimation of propulsive force of swimmers in the front crawl. Estimation is typically based on steady flow theory: the so-called quasi-steady analysis. Flow fields around a swimmer, however, are extremely unsteady because the change direction of hand produces unsteady vortex motions. To evaluate the force correctly, it is necessary to know the unsteady p...
