In this study, the missile staging process by implementing a side-injected jet is simulated numerically. The problem is considered to be axisymmetric and the thin shear layer approximation of Navier-Stokes equations along with an algebraic turbulence model is used in a quasi-static form for the calculations. The free stream corresponds to a very high altitude flight condition with a Mach number...

In nuclear Pressurized Water Reactors, fuel assemblies are slender structures composed of many rods held together by regularly spaced grids. Intense in-core conditions may sometimes result in permanent deformations impairing the reactor normal operation or even challenging its safety. Fluid-structure interactions central plot this multiphysical storyline, and water gaps between adjacent act as ...

Sheath-flow surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was used for online detection and quantification of small molecules separated by liquid chromatography. A mixture of model metabolites (thiamine, folic acid, and riboflavin) was separated and characterized by UV-Vis and SERS detectors connected in series. Acetonitrile in the mobile phase provided an internal standard enabling quantitative d...

This letter presents an experimental study on the tonal noise generated by a sharp-edged flat plate at low-to-moderate Reynolds number. Flow and far-field noise data reveal that, in this particular case, the tonal noise appears to be governed by vortex shedding processes. Also related to the existence of the tonal noise is a region of separated flow slightly upstream of the trailing edge. Hydro...

In this paper, we describe new techniques for detecting vortices and regions of separated flow with application to visualization of large-scale computational fluid dynamics data sets. The vortex core detection algorithm is based on ideas derived from combinatorial topology, specifically, Sperner’s lemma. The algorithm to detect regions of separated flow is based on the assumption that each pair...
