Unsteady flow separation on the airfoils with local flexible membrane (LFM) has been investigated in transient and laminar flows by the finite volume element method. A unique feature of the present method compared with the common computational fluid dynamic softwares, especially ANSYS CFX, is the modification using the physical influence scheme in convection fluxes at cell surfaces. In contr...

We propose a two-phase model having a Newtonian rheology for the fluid phase and friction for the particle phase to describe bed-load transport in laminar pipe flows. This model is able to provide a description of the flow of the mobile granular layer. When the flow is not significantly perturbed, simple analytical results of the particle flux varying cubically with the Shields number can be ob...

Occurrence of laminar separation bubbles on solid walls of an elliptic cylinder has been simulated using a recently developed transitional model for boundary layer flows. Computational method is based on the solution of the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the eddy-viscosity concept. Transitional model tries to simulate streamwise fluctuations, induced by freestream turbulen...

The rate of viscous energy dissipation in a shear layer of incompressible Newtonian fluid with injection and suction is studied by means of exact solutions, nonlinear and linearized stability theory, and rigorous upper bounds. The injection and suction rates are maintained constant and equal and this leads to solutions with constant throughput. For strong enough suction, expressed in terms of t...

Key words magnetic fields – magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) Although current interest in astrophysical dynamo theory is largely focussed on flows with both large-and small-scale motions, historically the study of dynamos driven by laminar flows has been important. Some classical laminar flow dynamos are reviewed. These results were obtained in an asymptotic regime corresponding to small values of sy...

In this article, a laminar magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) developing flow of an incompressible electrically conducting fluid subjected to an external magnetic field is considered. The aim of the study is to propose a correlation for computing the development length of the laminar MHD developing flow in a pipe. A numerical approach is considered to solve the problem. In the first step, the numerical...

This paper describes one-dimensional (parallel) laminar and transitional regimes of natural convection in a viscous stably stratified fluid due to temporally-periodic variations in the surface temperature of infinite vertical plates and cylinders. Analytical solutions are obtained for the periodic laminar regime for arbitrary values of stratification, Prandtl number and forcing frequency. The s...

in industry, flow instabilities are important in journal bearings at high rotational speeds. for inviscid flows between two rotating coaxial cylinders, an instability criterion was introduced by taylor-couette. however, viscosity may play as stabilizer or destabilize in such flows. in this work, stability theories were reviewed for two coaxial rotating cylinders. then, flow instability patterns...
