Researchers from the Department of Mechanics and Engineering Science at Peking University (PKU), led by Prof. Chen Shiyi and Prof. Yang Yantao, have recently proposed a mechanism to enhance the ...

Boundary layer transition and turbulence modelling represent central challenges in fluid dynamics, with profound implications for the design and performance of aerospace, automotive, and energy ...

Shock wave and turbulent boundary layer interactions are phenomena encountered in high-speed flows, where abrupt pressure changes associated with shock waves impinge upon the viscous layer of fluid ...

Abstract: I shall discuss two programs of research that have occupied much of my time and the time of two PhD students with whom I am working: Samantha Sheppard and Jarred Kenworthy. Jarred and ...

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 ...

An account is given of the statistical structure of turbulence in the natural wind near the ground (i.e. below about 100 m in height). Wind data measured at a single point are briefly reviewed, ...

Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue 64: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 11th INTERNATIONAL COASTAL SYMPOSIUM ICS2011 (2011), pp. 1091-1094 (4 pages) The hydrodynamic and water quality modelling of the ...

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 ...

Since at least the 1920s, scientists have been puzzled by the turbulence that arises when a liquid hits a wall. For instance, what happens when water violently sloshes against the side of a pool or ...
