this study is concerned with the prediction of particles’ velocity in a dilute turbulent gas-solidboundary layer flow using a fully eulerian two-fluid model. the closures required for equationsdescribing the particulate phase are derived from the kinetic theory of granular flows. gas phaseturbulence is modeled by one-equation model and solid phase turbulence by mlh theory. resultsof one-way and...

In this paper, the similarity solution of turbulent boundary layer flow on the flat plate with zero pressure gradients is presented. By employing similarity variables the governing partial differential equations are transformed to ordinary ones with inconsistent coefficients and solved numerically with the use of Runge–Kutta and shooting methods in conjunction with trial and error procedure. Fo...

in this research, shock wave motion, shock/boundary layer interaction, and flow separation in a transonic flow over a naca0012 airfoil were investigated experimentally. thirteen kulite sensors were utilized for measurement of pressure fluctuations over the airfoil. experiments were performed for angles of attack between -4 to 4 degrees and flow mach numbers of m= 0.39 to 0.82. the kulite sensor...

This paper addresses the combined effects of couple stresses, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and slip condition on a free convective flow of a couple stress fluid induced by a vertical stretching sheet. The Cogley- Vincenti-Gilles equilibrium model is employed to include the effects of thermal radiation in the study. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed into a system o...

The technique used to control the airflow is based on the electro-hydrodynamic actuator which is also called plasma actuator. This actuator ensures the airflow control thanks to the electric wind created by the electrical corona discharge. This ionic wind is developed at the profile surface tangential to the initial free airflow so that it has a significant effect on the boundary layer flow. Th...

The intent of this analysis is to explore the influence of thermal radiation paired with variable thermal conductivity on MHD micropolar fluid flow over an upper surface. The novelty of the present model is to consider the fluid flow along an upper horizontal surface of a paraboloid of revolution (uhspr) with the porous medium.  This physical phenomenon is described by a set of coupled...
