We consider the laminar boundary-layer flow past a semi-infinite plate with a stream-wise ridge. We seek similarity solutions to the problem, when the freestream velocity takes the form x* n, where x* ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences Information on transition from laminar to turbulent flow in boundary layers on streamline bodies of revolution ...

In an experiment on how turbulent boundary layers respond to acceleration in the flow around them, aerospace engineers at the observed an unexpected internal boundary layer. In an experiment on how ...

Rotating boundary layer dynamics is a critical field within fluid mechanics that addresses the behaviour of fluid layers adjacent to rotating surfaces. The interplay of centrifugal forces, Coriolis ...

Turbulence makes many people uneasy or downright queasy. And it's given researchers a headache, too. Mathematicians have been trying for a century or more to understand the turbulence that arises when ...

Turbulent Flow and Boundary Layer Theory: Selected Topics and Solved Problems explains fundamental concepts of turbulent flow with boundary layer analysis. A general introduction to turbulent flow ...

A typical challenge for re-entry vehicles during flight is an effective control of hypersonic transition and the laminar/turbulent state of the boundary layer. The state of the boundary layer is of ...

Illustration of daytime-warm-season boundary layer circulations and Cumulus cloud formation over complex terrain. Current research efforts in mesoscale and boundary-layer dynamics utilize novel ...

As a multidisciplinary phenomenon, panel aeroelasticity in shock-dominated flow raises structural and aerodynamic concerns, representing one of the major challenges for the design and optimization of ...
