A new universal theory for flow instability and turbulent transition is proposed in this study. Flow instability and turbulence transition have been challenging subjects for fluid dynamics for a century. The critical condition of turbulent transition from theory and experiments differs largely from each other for Poiseuille flows. This enigma has not been clarified so far owing to the difficult...

the objective of this research is to develop an accurate numerical method to be used in showing the deformation of a liquid fuel droplet in a convective field. to simultaneously solve the internal liquid droplet flow field as well as the external gas phase flow field, a nonstaggered rectangular grid system without any coordinate transformation is used. transition from the gas field to the liqui...

Bioinorganic medicinal chemistry remains a hot field for research aimed at developing novel anti-cancer treatments. Discovery of metal complexes as potent antitumor chemotherapeutics such as cisplatin led to a significant shift of focus toward organometallic/ bioinorganic compounds containing transition metals and their chelates as novel scaffolds for drug discovery. In that way, transition met...

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 ...

rock chutes are natural river training structures and are efficient energy dissipaters too. from the hydraulic and environmental point of view, rock chutes have become important structures in the natural river morphology. a physical study was conducted and flow properties were measured over rough bed materials of a rock chute, which was assembled at the pitlab center of the university of pisa, ...

The bullwhip effect problem is one of the most important issues in supply chain management. Limited information sharing increases the difficulty of reducing the bullwhip effect and leads to inefficient supply chain management. The purpose of this paper is to explore new ways to reduce the bullwhip effect in supply chain systems that face uncertainties with respect to information sharing. We fir...

Nowadays, developed and applied hydrology become very important thing in the life due to the wide verity advantages for the applications of this field. Hydraulic Structures such as crump weir are placed in channels to estimate or measure flow rate and flow control devices. In this study there is a new performance for crump weir which appears by adding opening holes in the model  of crump weir. ...

Roughness elements in high speed flows can cause laminar-turbulent transition leading to higher heating rates and drag. Transition of flow past a hemispherical bump placed on a flat plate is explored in this paper for three Mach numbers [3.37, 5.26, 8.23] using direct numerical simulation on unstructured grids. The simulation parameters are chosen to match the experiments carried out by Danehy ...

* Project supported by the National Science Foundation of China(Grant No. 10972123) Corresponding author: DU Guang-sheng ABSTRACT : The ultrasonic flowmeter has been widely used in the industrial flow measurement. The flow measurement accuracy depends on the relationship of the profile-linear average velocity. But this relationship of the transition zone is not available at present. In this pap...
