The results from two numerical simulations of the unsteady flow in a 1-1/2 stage axial-flow turbine are presented and compared with experimental data to show both the effect of blade count on the solution accuracy and the time-averaged and unsteady flow physics present. The TFLO three-dimensional, multi-block, massively parallel turbomachinery flow solution procedure is used to simulate the flo...

the effect of weak shear thickening and shear thinning on the stability of the taylor-couette flow is explored for a carreau-bird fluid in the narrow-gap limit. the galerkin projection method is used to derive a low-order dynamical system from the conservation of mass and momentum equations. in comparison with the newtonian system, the present equations include additional nonlinear coupling in ...

In this paper, we study the steady and unsteady magneto hydro dynamic (MHD) viscous, incompressible free and forced convective flow of an electrically conducting Newtonian fluid through a porous medium in the presence of appreciable thermal radiation heat transfer and surface temperature oscillation taking hall current into account. The fluid is assumed to be optically-thin and magnetic Reynold...

1. Introduction A great variety of flows with importance to practical engineering applications are inherently unsteady and virtually all of the Newtonian fluid flows in nature are turbulent. Therefore, it is natural and unavoidable to deal with unsteady turbulent flows when Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques are applied to engineering design and industrial use. CFD for general fluid ...

Unsteady viscous flows and Stokes’s first problem are examined. Three problems are considered: unsteady Couette flow, unsteady Poiseuille flow, and unsteady boundary layer flow. The relationship between these three fundamental unsteady flows and Stokes’ first problem is illustrated. Scaling principles are used to deduce the short time and long time characteristics of these three problems. Asymp...

Unsteady water flows are common in nature, yet the swimming performance of fishes is typically evaluated at constant, steady speeds in the laboratory. We examined how cyclic changes in water flow velocity affect the swimming performance and energetics of a labriform swimmer, the shiner surfperch, Cymatogaster aggregata, during station holding. Using intermittent-flow respirometry, we measured c...

The present work is dedicated to the investigation of effect an isolated roughness element on a swept wing boundary layer. In particular, flow modifications incurred by single cylindrical applied model are measured, toward describing nature perturbations introduced in field, their development near and far wake region, as well eventual breakdown. measurements performed using infrared thermograph...
