Two layer dielectric-electrolyte micro-flow with pressure gradient

Transition mechanisms in a three-dimensional boundary-layer flow with pressure-gradient changeover

The laminar breakdown of a three-dimensional flat-plate boundary-layer flow with favourable and ensuing adverse pressure gradient (APG), generic for an infinite swept wing, is investigated in detail by means of spatial direct numerical simulations. Emphasis is on transition mechanisms in the region of adverse pressure gradient where the undistorted laminar base flow also becomes unstable with r...

Study of Boundary Layer Convective Heat Transfer with Low Pressure Gradient Over a Flat Plate Via He’s Homotopy Perturbation Method

Characteristic length scale of the intermediate structure in zero-pressure-gradient boundary layer flow.

In a turbulent boundary layer over a smooth flat plate with zero pressure gradient, the intermediate structure between the viscous sublayer and the free stream consists of two layers: one adjacent to the viscous sublayer and one adjacent to the free stream. When the level of turbulence in the free stream is low, the boundary between the two layers is sharp, and both have a self-similar structur...

Two Phase Flow Pressure Drop Calculation Using Homogeneous Equilibrium Model

Although two-phase flow is frequently encountered in various location of the process plants, there is no a general accepted and verified two-phase flow model that may be used to size lines for such conditions. An obvious example is condensate water return lines. The API method that used in this study is based on the homogeneous equilibrium flow assumption, that is, equal velocity and equal temp...
