In this paper we study the application of divergence-free wavelet bases for the analysis of incompressible turbulent flows and perform several experiments. In particular, we analyze various nominally incompressible fields and study the influence of compressible perturbations due to experimental and computational errors. In addition, we investigate the multiscale structure of modes obtained from...

Basic experiments were conducted on a large-size broad-crested weir with a rounded corner. Detailed free-surface, velocity, and pressure measurements were performed for a range of flow conditions. The results showed the rapid flow distribution at the upstream end of the weir and next to the weir brink at large flow rates. The flow properties above the crest were analyzed taking into account the...

The two-phase gas-liquid flow properties of high-velocity open channel flows were studied experimentally in a large-size channel. The physical facility was equipped with a succession of triangular cavities associated with some strong interactions between air entrainment and flow turbulence. Detailed air-water flow measurements were collected with intrusive phase-detection probes for several flo...

flow visualization techniques using tracer markers such as die, smoke, hydrogen bubbles, etc., have been widely used in experimental investigations of large scale structures of a variety of flow fields. they have played an important role in understanding the physics of the coherent structures formation and evolution in the transitional as well as the turbulent regions of the flow fields. howeve...

Splattering of droplets during liquid jet impingement on solid targets alters the efficiencies of jet impingement heat transfer processes and chemical containment safety devices, and leads to problems of aerosol formation in jet impingement cleaning processes. A study of the turbulent liquid jet impingement splattering, the evolution of the disturbances on the free surface of a turbulent liquid...

k This study investigated the Navier-Stokes L computations of the surface heat transfer coefficients of a transition duct flow. A transition duct from an axisymmetric n cross section to a nonaxisymmetric cross section, is usually used to connect the turbine exit to the nozzle. As the gas Pr turbine inlet temperature increases, the transition duct is subjected to the high temperature at the gas ...

Separation of suspended droplets in a fluid flow has been a great concern for scientists and technologists. In the current study, the effect of the surface roughness on flow field and the performance of a gas-oil cyclone is studied numerically. The droplets and the turbulent airflow inside the cyclone are considered to be the discrete and continuous phases respectively. The Reynolds stress mode...

The noninvasive Doppler assessment of regurgitant volume from jet size is limited by the fundamental inequality of jet volume and regurgitant volume and by the dependence of jet dimensions on driving pressure and instrument settings for a given flow volume. Therefore, this study addresses the hypothesis that an equation could be derived from basic physical principles to quantify regurgitant vol...

the current study presents the results of the aerodynamic noise prediction of the flow field around a naca 0012 airfoil at a chord-based reynolds number of 100,000 and at 8.4 degree angle of attack. an incompressible large eddy simulation (les) turbulence model is applied to obtain the instantaneous turbulent flow field. the noise prediction is performed by the ffowcs williams and hawkings (fw-...
