Aluminum-Lithium (AI-Li) alloys have been developed as an alternative to conventional aluminum alloys for use in aerospace and other applications where lowweight, high strength materials are required. The use of Al-Li alloys in military and civil air transport continues to increase [1]. The key benefits of AI-Li alloys, when compared to conventional aluminum alloys, are the lower density and hi...

This invited paper presents efficient solutions of the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations based on finite difference and finite volume formulations. They were obtained with several methods recently developed for the efficient analysis of steady and unsteady external flows. (i) A biased-flux method based on an explicit finite volume formulation is first presented for the solution of the Euler equ...

Planar Rayleigh scattering measurements using an ArF-excimer laser have been performed to investigate helium mixing into air at supersonic speeds. The capability of the Rayleigh scattering technique for flow visualization of a turbulent environment is demonstrated in a large-scale, Mach 6 facility. The detection limit obtained with the present setup indicates that planar, quantitative measureme...

Planar Rayleigh scattering measurements with an argon-fluoride excimer laser are performed to investigate helium mixing into air at supersonic speeds.

The basic results obtained by the author in the theory of supercavities in compressible fluid have been presented. The modern numerical methods have been applied in this investigation and the basic correlations for shock in water have been considered. The characteristic features of supersonic cavitation flows and their difference from the analogous flows in the air have been noted. The buckling...

Introduction Conclusions References

Pump intake is designed to provide adequate water supply to pumps. It is essential to design the pump intake to provide fairly uniform and swirl free flow to pumps. However, it is not always possible due to site constraints. Investigation of pump intake is required prior to installing the pumps at site. There are two approaches (experimental and numerical) followed for such investigation. The p...

In this paper an upwind algorithm based on Roe’s scheme is presented for solution of PNS equations. Non iterative-implicit method using finite volume technique is used. The main advantage of this approach, in comparison with similar upwind methods, is reduction of oscillations around sonic line. This advantage causes the present method to be able to analyze supersonic flows with free stream Mac...

Jet mixings of a coplanar alternating-lobe nozzle (CoALN), scarfing (ScALN), sword (SwALN), and chevron (SwChALN) were numerically investigated using three different far-field velocities to simulate the conditions pumping air intake stamping intake.
