based on three-dimensional theory of elasticity, static analysis of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite (fg-cntrc) cylindrical panel subjected to mechanical uniformed load with simply supported boundary conditions is carried out. in the process, stress and displacement fields are expanded according to the fourier series along the axial and circumferential coordinates. from ...

one of the popular and well known models in boundary layer that is implemented in most of the operational and familiar models is the mellor-yamada model of atmospheric boundary layer. one reason that this model is so popular is its ability in simulations and exposing of different phenomena in the boundary layer. this model has been constructed based on second order closure hypothesis. beside al...

Roughness elements in a laminar boundary layer can cause the flow to transition. The effects of discrete and distributed roughness are explored using direct numerical simulation on unstructured grids. Velocity profiles for Mach 8.12 flow past a cylindrical roughness element are compared to experiment. Flow features produced by an isolated hemispherical bump are studied for three Mach numbers [3...

Abstract Today’s CFD simulations tools and the related computational resources provide engineers an enormously high-fidelity design tool to generate enormous aerodynamic aerothermal database, for both laminar turbulent state, in a short time span. However, transitional flow simulation is still its infancy that one needs rely on practical engineering correlations composed of typical boundary-lay...

The objective of this work is to develop deep theoretical methods that are based on the solution of the integral boundary layer equations for investigating film cooling in liquid rocket engine. The integral model assumes that heat is transferred from hot free stream gas to the liquid film both by convection and radiation. The mass is transferred to the free srteam gas by the well-known blowing ...

Subjecting a boundary layer to sudden or changing strain can have a profound effect on the flow. In turbulent boundary layers, oscillating the wall has been shown in previous studies as a viable mechanism to reduce drag. At lower Reynolds numbers, and in particular in the transition regime, the flow response is complex. On the one hand, the three dimensionality of the base state can lead to new...

This study develops a fuzzy sliding mode controller (FSMC) based on a variable boundary layer. A fuzzy inference mechanism is used to on-line tune the thickness of the boundary layers of the controller. Minimum rule base has been used for the fuzzy inference system which results in low calculation effort. The aim of this paper is to design a controller which will eliminate the chattering of FSM...
