An oscillatory, zero-net-mass flux Jet and Vortex Actuator (JaVA) was modelled as part of a flat plate and simulated in a boundary layer flow. JaVA is an active flow control device that can be used for flow separation control and thus can delay boundary layer transition. It has been already shown experimentally that JaVA induced flow types in still water include angled and vertical jets, wall j...

This is the first study on the free vibrational behavior of sandwich panels with flexible core in the presence of smart sheets of oil which is capable of the excitation of magnetic field. In order to model the core, the improved high order theory of sandwich sheets was used by a polynomial with unknown coefficients first degree shear theory was used for the sheets. The derived equations based o...

in this paper we study the boundary layer problems in which boundary conditions are non-local. here we try to find the necessary conditions by the help of fundamental solution to the given adjoint equation. by getting help from these conditions, at first the boundary condition is changed from non-local to local. the main aim of this paper is to identify the location of the boundary layer. in ot...

_Abstract. Two major hypotheses have been advanced for the formation of the long wavelength (100-300 km) undulations of oceanic basement and overlying sediments developed in the central Indian Ocean basin: whole layer folding (buckling) and local thickening (inverse boudinage). Using appropriately scaled two-layer analogue models for the oceanic lithosphere comprising a brittle layer above a du...

Abstract: Additional entropy generation rates through non-equilibrium ordered structures are predicted for corner flows with sidewall mass injection. Well-defined non-equilibrium ordered structures are predicted at a normalized vertical station of approximately eighteen percent of the boundary-layer thickness. These structures are in addition to the ordered structures previously reported at app...

Diamond films were deposited in an atmospheric-pressure radio-frequent3' plasma reactor. Hydrogen and methane were injected coaxially into the plasma as a high-velocity jet which impinged on the molybdenum substrate. In some cases argon was added to the reactant jet to increase its momentum, thereby reducing the boundary layer thickness, In most cases argon addition substantially improved diamo...

In this paper, Homotopy perturbation method (HPM) has been applied to investigate the effect of magnetic field on Cu-water nanofluid flow in non-parallel walls. The validity of HPM solutions were verified by comparing with numerical results obtained using a fourth order Runge–Kutta method. Effects of active parameters on flow have been presented graphically. The results show that velocity i...

In geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO2), the buoyant CO2 plume eventually accumulates under the caprock. Due to interfacial tension between the CO2 phase and the water phase, a capillary transition zone develops in the plume. This zone contains supercritical CO2 as well as water with dissolved CO2. Under the plume, a diffusive boundary layer forms. We study how cross-flow between the capi...
