We describe a simple method for estimating wall friction which uses the fit of velocity data to the boundary layer profile in wall units all the way from the wall to the end of the log region. Two different models for the boundary layer profile are examined, the power-series interpolation scheme of Spalding and the Musker profile which is based on the eddy viscosity concept. The accuracy of the...

− In this paper a cost-effective method for measuring transportation velocity and the velocity profile of a material flow of powdery solids inside a pipe is presented. For the measurement, artificial perturbations are brought into the mass flow and the effects of these perturbations are acquired and correlated at measurement sections. The velocity profile is calculated with the knowledge of the...

Headwater accident is a natural phenomenon that occurs in every flow channel, resulting in tremendous incidents that involve vulnerable lives and destruction of its surroundings. This study focuses on simulation of potential headwater accidents at Lata Kinjang waterfall (Perak, Malaysia) with the aim of understanding the behavior of headwater accidents from the hydraulic aspect. By deploying th...

The present paper deals with the effects of Ohmic dissipative Casson fluid flow over a stretching sheet in the presence of aligned magnetic field. The present phenomenon also includes the interaction of thermal radiation and velocity slip. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations using the similarity transformations. The dimensionless ...

the flow of fluids in annular conduits has been studied for over sixty years, however the resulted data are very scattered. in this paper the problem is analytically solved, starting out with navier-stokes equations. a computer solution is used to determine the shape of velocity profiles, the discharge and the friction factor in a large number of concentric and eccentric annular conduits. the e...

Mapping of blood velocities across the lumen of the ascending aorta was performed in eight patients during open-heart surgery. A Doppler ultrasound probe was constructed to measure velocities in 2 mm steps from the maximum convexity to the maximum concavity of aorta, 6 to 7 cm above the aortic valve. In five patients with angina and normal aortic valves, velocity profiles were very similar and ...

[1] Near the bottom, the velocity profile in the bottom boundary layer over the continental shelf exhibits a characteristic law-of-the-wall that is consistent with local estimates of friction velocity from near-bottom turbulence measurements. Farther from the bottom, the velocity profile exhibits a deviation from the law-of-the-wall. Here the velocity gradient continues to decrease with height ...

E. C. Wong, M. Cronin UCSD, La Jolla, CA, United States Synopsis In Velocity Selective Arterial Spin Labeling (VS-ASL), arterial blood is magnetically tagged using velocity selective pulses with no spatial selectivity, resulting in small and uniform transit delays throughout the region of interest. We introduce here the use of a hyperecho based tagging pulse train that consists of BIR-4 adiabat...

The shape of wake behind a wind turbine is normally assumed to have a hat shape for the models used in wind farm layout optimization purposes; however, it is know from experimental tests and numerical simulations that this is not a real assumption. In reality, the results of actual measurements and detailed numerical simulation show that the velocity in wake region has a S-shape profile. Th...
