The objective of this study is to improve Eulerian-Eulerian models of particle-laden turbulent flow. We begin by understanding the behavior of two existing models—one proposed by Simonin von Kármán Institute of Fluid Dynamics Lecture Series, 1996 , and the other by Ahmadi Int. J. Multiphase Flow 16, 323 1990 —in the limiting case of statistically homogeneous particle-laden turbulent flow. The d...

We present a methodology for the computation of flow fields involving complex perforated surfaces in propulsion applications. Of particular interest is the treatment of perforated flaps used as wedge-shaped fan flow deflectors for reducing jet noise of a supersonic turbofan engine. A three-dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes solver is used to compute the flow field of the external jet p...

Acoustic Doppler velocity profiler (ADVP) measurements of instantaneous threedimensional velocity profiles over the entire turbulent boundary layer height, δ, of rough-bed open-channel flows at moderate Reynolds numbers show the presence of large scale coherent shear stress structures (called LC3S herein) in the zones of uniformly retarded streamwise momentum. LC3S events over streamwise distan...

[1] Measured turbulence power spectra, cospectra, and ogive curves from a shallow tidal flow were scaled using Monin‐Obukhov similarity theory to test the applicability to a generic tidal flow of universal curves found from a uniform, neutrally stable atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). While curves from individual 10 min data bursts deviate significantly from similarity theory, averages over lar...

We analyzed oscillating flow data from U-tube experiments by Lamb et al. (2004) and found that the time-averaged turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) near bed decreased exponentially with height above the bed in high-densitysuspension (HDS) flows under waves, and that the ratios of TKE distributions in the streamwise, cross-stream, and vertical dimensions were constant. Based on the finite-mixing-len...

The energy- and flux-budget (EFB) theory developed previously for atmospheric stably stratified turbulence is extended to the surface layer in convective turbulence. This based on budget equations turbulent energies fluxes Boussinesq approximation. In lower part of boundary layer, rate production kinetic energy (TKE) caused by shear much larger than that buoyancy, which results three-dimensiona...

Tke theta function of a sphere packing gives the number of centers at each distance from the origin. The theta functions of a number of important packings (An, D, , E,, the Leech lattice, and others) and tables of the first fifty or so of their coefficients are given in this paper.

The behavior of turbulent open channel flows over permeable surfaces is not well understood. In particular, it is not clear how the surface and the subsurface flow within the permeable bed interact and influence each other. In order to clarify this issue we carried out two sets of experiments, one involving velocity measurements in open channel flows over an impermeable bed composed of a single...
