The Navier–Stokes partial differential equation was developed in the early 19th century by Claude-Louis Navier and George Stokes. It has proved its worth for modelling incompressible fluids in ...

Recent advances have significantly enhanced our understanding of the complex fluid dynamics surrounding wind turbine blades. By employing non-invasive imaging techniques such as infrared thermography, ...

Flow visualization is the process of making the physics of fluid flows (gases, liquids) visible. At the University of Colorado we have a course for mixed teams of engineering and fine arts photography ...

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 ...

If the boundary-layer equations for a gas are transformed by Mises's transformation, as was done by Kármán & Tsien for the flow along a flat plate of a gas with unit Prandtl number σ , the computation ...

The flow is from bottom to top. The Reynolds number based on momentum thickness at the midpoint of the volume is 700. A passive scalar has been introduced into the flow along a spanwise line at the ...

The Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel in the Hele-Shaw Laboratory within the Faculty of Engineering is a designated National Wind Tunnel Facility, supporting a diverse range of research activities for both ...

If there are no shear stresses present, there is no fluid deformation, and the behavior of a fluid is described by the bulk modulus relating the pressure and the compression strain. In the presence of ...

The word “Schlieren” is German, and translates roughly to “streaks”. What is streaky photography, and why might you want to use it in a project? And where did this funny term come from? Think of the ...
