Presented in this paper is an analytic approximation to the thermal-fluid problem involving mixed and forced convective heat transfer from a rotating isothermal cylinder placed in a non-uniform stream shear-flow. The approximation is obtained using a series expansion of the scaled boundary layer equations in terms of a boundary layer variable which is directly proportional to the time variable ...

this paper studied the mathematical method of flow with regard to two-phase boundary layer that created over the iced surface. based on experimental results, skin drag over the iced surface compared with this force that compute with slip condition. based on this results, for iced surface blasius equation solving at non-slip condition, can replace with solving the blasius equation with slip cond...

INTRODUCTION Simple turbulence models extended from two-dimensional (2D) methods and applied to 3D turbulent boundary layers (TBL) generally give poor results. The Reynolds stresses are complicated to model for 3D flows due to the fact that they depend strongly on history effects, flow skewing, pressure gradients, strain-rate, and other flow parameters (Simpson, 1995). A common assumption in th...

in this paper we study the boundary layer problems in which boundary conditions are non-local. here we try to find the necessary conditions by the help of fundamental solution to the given adjoint equation. by getting help from these conditions, at first the boundary condition is changed from non-local to local. the main aim of this paper is to identify the location of the boundary layer. in ot...

For aerospace or hypersonic cruise vehicle the state of the boundary layer is of great importance because for turbulent boundary layers, the thermal loads and skin friction are higher than in laminar boundary layers. Therefore , knowledge of cooling features and laminar-turbulent transition is necessary for the design of the thermal protection system (TPS). Different strategies are used to redu...

Tangential and normal velocity profiles of the boundary layer surrounding live swimming fish were determined by digital particle tracking velocimetry, DPTV. Two species were examined: the scup Stenotomus chrysops, a carangiform swimmer, and the smooth dogfish Mustelus canis, an anguilliform swimmer. Measurements were taken at several locations over the surfaces of the fish and throughout comple...

This paper presents an Euler and boundary-layer method capable of unsteady flow and aeroelastic simulations. An integral boundary-layer solver is coupled with an Euler solver in a “semi-inverse” manner. For the inviscid part, approximate wall boundaryconditions are implemented on non-moving mean chord positions, whereas the full nonlinear Euler equation is solved in the field for accurate resol...

To understand transition to turbulence via 3D disturbance growth, we report here results obtained from the solution of Navier-Stokes equation (NSE) to reproduce experimental results obtained by minimizing background disturbances and imposing deterministic excitation inside the shear layer. A similar approach was adopted in Sengupta and Bhaumik [Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 154501 (2011)], where a rout...
