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 ...

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, ...

The state and properties of boundary layer (BL) flows are very important issues for the design and operation of high performance air- and ground- vehicles as well as for many industrial flow ...

An important observation is that fluid flow is always irreversible. It is irreversible because fluids have viscosity, and whenever velocity gradients appear in the flow there will be friction and ...

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 ...
