Feedback control is used to suppress oscillations in the subsonic flow past a rectangular cavity. A heuristic feedback law is introduced into 2D direct numerical simulations, using zero-net-mass forcing at the leading edge of the cavity and a pressure sensor at the wall, and the oscillations are reduced by −13dB. Reduced-order models are obtained from fullorder direct numerical simulations, and...

This study is motivated by three-dimensional ows about protrusions and cavities with an arbitrary angle between the external ow and rigid elements. The novel type of a \building block" cavity ow is proposed where the cavity lid moves along its diagonal (Case A). The proposed case is taken as a typical representative of essentially three-dimensional highly separated vortical ows having simple si...

A stationary equilibrium of a liquid metal flowing past a cylindrical magnetic cavity is presented. The cavity has an azimuthal magnetic field and can also have an axial field. The liquid metal flow can be maintained by a sufficiently high pressure head. The scheme could be used to support a flowing liquid wall for systems producing high heat fluxes. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. @S1070...

This paper is intended to evaluate the wall effects in the pure-drag case of plane cavity flow past an arbitrary body held in a closed tunnel, and to establish a n accurate correction rule. The three theoretical models in common use, namely, the open-wake, Riabouchinsky and re-entrant-jet models, are employed t o provide solutions in the form of some functional equations. From these theoretical...

The human nasal cavity filters and conditions inspired air while providing olfactory function. Detailed experimental study of nasal airflow patterns has been limited because of the complex geometry of the nasal cavity. In this work, particle image velocimetry was used to determine two-dimensional instantaneous velocity vector fields in parallel planes throughout a model of the nasal cavity that...

The results from a steady, viscous flow simulation of the main flowpath of a modern jet engine transonic highpressure turbine, transition duct, and first vane of the low-pressure turbine, coupled with the secondary-air system under the high-pressure turbine, is presented. The secondary-air system configuration includes the lower cavity near the centerline, the mid-cavity with the tangential onb...

For the last three decades, the research into skimming flows down stepped chutes was driven by needs for better design guidelines. The skimming flow is characterised by some momentum transfer from the main stream to the recirculation zones in the shear layer developing downstream of each step edge. In the present study some physical modelling was conducted in a relatively large facility and det...

The effect of the blade tip geometry of a high pressure gas turbine is studied experimentally and computationally for high speed leakage flows. For this purpose two simplified models are constructed, one models a flat tip of the blade and the second models a cavity tip of the blade. Experimental results are obtained from a transonic wind tunnel to show the static pressure distribution along the...

Understanding and controlling the flowfield in and around a cavity has challenged researchers for a number of years. The presence of a cavity on a body has been observed to significantly increase the mean drag, cause flow-induced vibrations and give rise to strong acoustic production. Of particular interest here are the flow structure and dynamics associated with open shallow rectangular caviti...

the use of flow cytometry in the clinical laboratory has grown substantially in the past decade. flow cytometric analysis provides a rapid qualitative and quantitative description of multiple characteristics of individual cells. for example, it is possible to detect the cell size and granularity, aspects of dna and rna content and the presence of cell surface and nuclear markers which are used ...
