Undesired wave reflections, which occur at domain boundaries in flow simulations with free-surface waves, can be minimized by applying source terms in the vicinity of the boundary to damp the waves. Examples of such approaches are absorbing…
Depending on the reflectional and rotational symmetries of annular combustors for aeroengines and gas turbines, self-sustained azimuthal thermoacoustic eigenmodes can be standing, spinning or mix of these two types of waves. These…
Most studies of triple flames in counterflowing streams of fuel and oxidizer have been focused on the symmetric problem in which the stoichiometric mixture fraction is $1/2$. There then exist lean and rich premixed flames of roughly equal…
The spatial characteristics and structure of an axisymmetric turbulent boundary layer under strong adverse pressure gradient and weak transverse curvature are investigated using incompressible large-eddy simulation. The boundary layer is on…
A modeling approach, based on an analytical solution of the semiclassical multi-subband Boltzmann transport equation, is presented to study resistivity scaling in metallic thin films and nanowires due to grain boundary and surface roughness…
New thickness and shape parameters for describing the thermal boundary layer formed by 2-D fluid flow along a heated (cooled) wall are presented. The parameters are based on probability distribution function methodology in which the thermal…
We describe the dynamics of three-dimensional fluid vesicles in steady shear flow in the vicinity of a wall. This is analyzed numerically at low Reynolds numbers using a boundary element method. The area-incompressible vesicle exhibits…
We discover unified scaling laws for the mean wall shear stress and the mean velocity profile in turbulent boundary layers subject to favorable and adverse mean pressure gradients-including flows with separation and reattachment. We use the…
A recent large deflection cantilever model is considered. The principal nonlinear effects come through the beam's inextensibility---local arc length preservation---rather than traditional extensible effects attributed to fully restricted…
The mechanisms governing the transition to turbulence in natural convection boundary layers along strongly heated vertical walls remain neither very clear nor well understood, because of the lack of experiments and the difficulties of…
We study analytically a model of a two dimensional, partially directed, flexible or semiflexible polymer, attached to an attractive wall which is perpendicular to the preferred direction. In addition, the polymer is stretched by an…
Processes of mixing and segregation in a packed bed of granular material stirred by a periodically moving rectangular bar are simulated by the discrete element method (DEM). Influence of mechanical properties of the particle material…
Let $\mathcal F$ be a holomorphic foliation on a compact K\'ahler surface with hyperbolic singularities and no foliation cycle. We prove that if the limit set of $\mathcal F$ has zero Lebesgue measure, then its complement is a modification…
The causal relevance of local flow conditions in wall-bounded turbulence is analysed using ensembles of interventional experiments in which the effect of perturbing the flow within a small cell is monitored at some future time. When this is…
In the turbulent boundary layer above a flat plate, the velocity profile is known to have the form v=v_0[(1/\kappa) ln z + constant]. The distance from the wall in dimensionless units is z and v_0 is an uniquely defined velocity scale. The…
The complex interaction between turbulence and the free surface in boundary layer shear flow created by a vertical surface-piercing wall is considered. A laboratory-scale device was built that utilizes a surface-piercing stainless steel…
We apply a formalism of nonextensive statistical mechanics to experimental wall turbulence data, for the first time to our knowledge. Wind tunnel data for velocity differences a streamwise distance $r$ apart are compared to the prediction…
The influence of flow non-uniformity and unsteadiness on premixed flames is of considerable interest due to its direct relevance to practical combustion systems. The steady counterflow flame has long served as a canonical configuration for…
A pair of Direct Numerical Simulations is used to investigate curvature and pressure effects. One has a Gaussian test bump and a straight opposite wall, while the other has a straight test wall and a blowing/suction distribution on an…
The purpose of this paper is to study the impact force of an oblique angled slamming wave acting on a rigid wall. In the present study the analytical approach is pursued based on a technique proposed by the author. A nonlinear theory in the…
