We first need to determine the underlying laminar flow solutions to investigate the stability of unsteady laminar flows. Figure 1 illustrates the configuration of interest – an incompressible fluid ...

Department of Civil Engineering and Applied Mechanics, McGill University, Montreal, QC H3A 0C3, Canada We conduct direct numerical simulations (DNS) to study the temporal and spatial developments of ...

laminar and turbulent flows; fluid flow in pipes and ducts; friction, major losses, and minor losses; boundary layer characteristics, drag, and lift. MATH.2310 Calculus III, and MATH.2360 Eng ...

A few years ago Hackaday featured a laminar project which recently inspired ... The water input is a 3/4″ garden hose adapter, perpendicular to the flow of the output nozzle.

Turbulent flow while proceeding in a particular direction, like laminar flow, has the added complexity of random velocity fluctuations. The flow patterns never repeat themselves. To convince yourself ...

Some fluid near the wall actually reverses direction, and the flow separates. A laminar boundary layer has less momentum near the wall than a turbulent boundary layer, as shown in figure 4, because ...

Topics include fluid properties, hydrostatics, laminar and turbulent flow, energy and continuity equations in one dimension. The course also covers basic concepts of thermodynamics, including perfect ...

Air Knives are pressurized air plenums containing a series of holes or continuous slots through which pressurized air exits in a laminar flow pattern. The exit air velocity then creates an impact air ...
