The numerical simulation of hypersonic atmospheric entry flows is a challenging problem. Prediction quantities interest, such as surface heat flux and pressure, strongly influenced by the mesh quality using conventional second-order spatial accuracy schemes while depending on boundary conditions, which may generally suffer from uncertainty. This paper illustrates one first systematic quantifica...

Singularities in the stress field of stagnation-point flow a viscoelastic fluid have been studied for various constitutive models. Analyzing analytical solutions these models is most effective way to study this problem. In paper, exact two-dimensional steady wall-free flows generic Oldroyd 8-constant model are obtained using different material parameter relations. For all solutions, compatibili...

In the present paper, direct numerical simulation (DNS) and particle image velocimetry (PIV) have been applied complementarily in order to generate a database of near-wall turbulence properties of a highly turbulent jet impinging on a solid surface under different inclination angles. Thereby, the main focus is placed on an impingement angle of 45◦, since it represents a good generic benchmark t...

An aerobic Lactobacillus plantarum culture displayed growth stagnation during early growth. Transcriptome analysis revealed that resumption of growth after stagnation correlated with activation of CO(2)-producing pathways, suggesting that a limiting CO(2) concentration induced the stagnation. Analogously, increasing the CO(2) gas partial pressure during aerobic fermentation prevented the tempor...

The qi stagnation constitution is associated with depression in traditional Chinese medicine. It is unclear how rumination and stressful life events affect the relationship between the qi stagnation constitution and depression. The Qi Stagnation Constitution Scale, Ruminative Response Scale, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, and Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Checklist were...

   An investigation is carried out on MHD stagnation point flow of water-based nanofluids in which the heat and mass transfer includes the effects of slip and convective boundary conditions. Employing the similarity variables, the governing partial differential equations including continuity, momentum, energy, and concentration have been reduced to ordinary ones and solved by using...

In this paper, we investigate the similarity solutions for a steady laminar incompressible boundary layer equations governing the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow near the forward stagnation point of two-dimensional and axisymmetric bodies. This leads to the study of a boundary value problem involving a third order autonomous ordinary differential equation. Our main results are the existence, uni...
