Experiments are performed in a Mach-6 shock tunnel to examine the laminar-to-turbulent transition process associated with sudden increase surface angle on slender body. A cone/flare geometry 5 $^\circ$ frustum and compression angles ranging from 15 allow range of mean flow configurations, spanning an attached shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction fully separated one; unit Reynolds number is als...

A numerical investigation is carried out to investigate the transitional flow behaviour of nanofluids flow in an inclined pipe using both single and multi-phase models. Two different nanofluids are considered, and these are Al2O3–water and TiO2–water nanofluids. Moreover, SST κ − ω transitional model is implemented to study the nanofluids flow in inclined pipe. Gravitational force is also adopt...

The transition to turbulence exhibits remarkable spatio-temporal behavior that continues to defy detailed understanding. Near the onset to turbulence in pipes, transient turbulent regions decay either directly or, at higher Reynolds numbers through splitting, with characteristic time-scales that exhibit a super-exponential dependence on Reynolds number. Here we report numerical simulations of t...

Original scientific paper Water flow in a tool for water jet cleaning and cutting is evaluated in this paper. There are ultrasonic pulsations of high pressure in the given domain. The efficiency of the amplification of high pressure pulsations in the transitional space between larger and smaller pipes is analysed. Three types of transitional spaces are compared in the paper: step change, conica...
