Surface Roughness Effects in Low Reynolds Number Channel Flows (Preprint)
Rarefied helium and nitrogen flow expanding into vacuum through 150μm high and 1.5 cm long channels is studied experimentally and numerically with the DSMC method. Different types of channel walls are examined, both polished and rough with well characterized roughness shaped as triangles and rectangles. The pressure varies from 200 to 13,000 Pa, with the gas mean free path being both much large...
متن کاملPassive swimming in low-Reynolds-number flows.
The possibility of microscopic swimming by extraction of energy from an external flow is discussed, focusing on the migration of a simple trimer across a linear shear flow. The geometric properties of swimming, together with the possible generalization to the case of a vesicle, are analyzed. The mechanism of energy extraction from the flow appears to be the generalization to a discrete swimmer ...
متن کاملIntroduction: scaling and structure in high Reynolds number wall-bounded flows.
On bou *A According to Lighthill (1995), Prandtl’s (1904) boundary layer has had the same transforming effect on fluid dynamics as Einstein’s 1905 discoveries had on other parts of physics, which, by the way, were celebrated in 2005 as the World Year of Physics. That the boundary layer becomes turbulent was formally known to Blasius (1908), though, of course, the origin of turbulence in a pipe ...
متن کاملAsymptotic Exponents from Low-Reynolds-Number Flows
The high-order statistics of fluctuations in velocity gradients in the crossover range from the inertial to the Kolmogorov and sub-Kolmogorov scales are studied by direct numerical simulations (DNS) of homogeneous isotropic turbulence with vastly improved resolution. The derivative moments for orders 0 ≤ n ≤ 8 are represented well as powers of the Reynolds number, Re, in the range 380 ≤ Re ≤ 22...
متن کاملSimulation of High Reynolds Number Vascular Flows
While much of the hemodynamics in a healthy human body has low Reynolds number, resulting in laminar flow, relatively high Reynolds number flow is observed at some specific locations, which can cause transition to turbulence. (The term “turbulence” refers to the motion of a fluid having local velocities and pressures that fluctuate randomly.) For example, the peak Reynolds number in the human a...
