The asymptotic behavior of mean velocity and integral parameters in flat plate turbulent boundary layers under zero pressure gradient are studied for Reynolds numbers approaching infinity. Using the classical two-layer approach of Millikan, Rotta, and Clau ...
Wall-bounded turbulent flows at high Reynolds numbers have become an increasingly active area of research in recent years. Many challenges remain in theory, scaling, physical understanding, experimental techniques, and numerical simulations. In this paper ...
An extensive set of experimental data, for zero pressure gradient boundary layers, over a wide range of Reynolds number is re-evaluated with the help of a composite profile fitted to the mean-velocity data. Boundary layer parameters such as Pi, H and the t ...
The current experimental activity aimed at resolving the scaling of stream-wise turbulence intensity profiles (uu) over bar (+)(y(+)) with Reynolds number in turbulent flat plate boundary layers has brought the largely unresolved issue of correcting system ...
Although the equations governing turbulent flow of fluids are well known, understanding the overwhelming richness of flow phenomena, especially in high Reynolds number turbulent flows, remains one of the grand challenges in physics and engineering. High Re ...
The novel species injector of a recently developed research burner, consisting of an array of hypodermic needles, which allows to produce quasi one-dimensional unstrained diffusion flames has been improved. It is used in a new symmetric design with fuel an ...
The growth and collapse of laser-induced vapor cavities inside axisymmetric free-falling liquid water jets have been studied. Bubbles of different size are generated at various distances from the jet axis and the effects on the jet interface are recorded b ...
A status report on the feasibility studies for the EULIMA medical accelerator project is given. Recent advances in the assessment of the various basic accelerator types ofr the facility are presented in terms of their advantages for heavy ion beam accelera ...
The stability of the Rayleigh-Benard-Poiseuille flow in a channel with large transverse aspect ratio (ratio of width to vertical channel height) is studied experimentally. The onset of thermal convection in the form of 'transverse rolls' (rolls with axes p ...
The paper presents an in depth assessment of different similarity laws for the mean velocity profile in zero pressure gradient (ZPG) turbulent boundary layers (TBL's) in comparison with mostly experimental and few computational data. The emphasis is on the ...
