We study the Landau-Levich problem, i.e., withdrawal of a plate from a bath of fluid, in the case of a soft-jammed system, which involves a transition from a solid bath to a solid layer stuck on the plate. We show that this solid-solid transition is prepared inside the bath before the emersion from the fluid, through the existence of a uniform (boundary) layer in the liquid regime along the pla...

high weissenberg boundary layer flow of viscoelastic fluids on a stretching surface has been studied. the flow is considered to be steady and two dimensional. flows of viscoelastic liquids at high weissenberg number exhibit stress boundary layers near walls. these boundary layers are caused by the memory of the fluid. upon proper scaling and by means of an exact similarity transformation, the n...

In this paper, an effective procedure based on coordinate stretching and radial basis functions (RBFs) collocation method is applied to solve singularly perturbed differential-difference equations with layer behavior. It is well known that if the boundary layer is very small, for good resolution of the numerical solution at least one of the collocation points must lie in the boundary layer. In ...

the flow characteristics around an elliptic cylinder with an axis ratio of ar=2 located near a flat plate were investigated experimentally. the elliptic cylinder was located on the inside and outside a turbulent boundary layer region whose thickness (δ) is 0.38b. the reynolds numbers based on the height of the cylinder cross-section were 15000 and 30000. measurements of mean velocity and turbul...

There has been little research into surface-ablation effects on hypersonic boundary-layer instability, and the current understanding of real-gas effects on hypersonic boundary-layer instability still contains uncertainties. The objective of the current work was to analyze the hypersonic boundary-layer transition process using linear-stability theory, inwhich surface ablation, aswell as real-gas...

T HE prediction of laminar–turbulent transition location in highspeed boundary layers is critical to hypersonic vehicle design because of the weight implications of increased skin friction and surface heating rate after transition. Current work in T5 (the California Institute of Technology’s free piston reflected shock tunnel) includes the study of problems relevant to hypervelocity boundary la...

this paper studied the mathematical method of flow with regard to two-phase boundary layer that created over the iced surface. based on experimental results, skin drag over the iced surface compared with this force that compute with slip condition. based on this results, for iced surface blasius equation solving at non-slip condition, can replace with solving the blasius equation with slip cond...

based on three-dimensional theory of elasticity, static analysis of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite (fg-cntrc) cylindrical panel subjected to mechanical uniformed load with simply supported boundary conditions is carried out. in the process, stress and displacement fields are expanded according to the fourier series along the axial and circumferential coordinates. from ...

In an earlier paper in Entropy [1] we hypothesized that the entropy generation rate is the driving force for boundary layer transition from laminar to turbulent flow. Subsequently, with our colleagues we have examined the prediction of entropy generation during such transitions [2,3]. We found that reasonable predictions for engineering purposes could be obtained for flows with negligible strea...
