Vortex shedding from a circular cylinder and from an inclined flat plate is computed with a finite volume CFD code with RNG k-ε turbulence model. The wake behind the circular cylinder consists of two trains of vortices of equal strengths. Dependence of vortex patterns on Reynolds numbers at Re between 10 and 10 is investigated. Flow over the inclined flat plate is asymmetric and unequal charact...

Neutral stability limits for wake flow behind a flat plate is studied using spectral method. First, Orr-Sommerfeld equation was changed to matrix form, covering the whole domain of solution. Next, each term of matrix was expanded using Chebyshev expansion series, a series very much equivalent to the Fourier cosine series. A group of functions and conditions are applied to start and end points i...

The flow field around a flat plate of infinite span has been investigated for several values of the angle of attack. Numerical predictions have been compared to experimental measurements, in order to examine the effect of turbulence model and grid resolution on the resultant aerodynamic forces acting on the plate. Also the influence of the free-stream turbulence intensity, at the entrance of th...

A DSMC (direct simulation Monte Carlo) simulation using Dynamical Molecular Collision (DMC) model based on Molecular Dynamics (MD) calculation with various gas-surface interaction models is applied for solving the two-dimensional nonequilibrium hypersonic rarefied flow over a flat plate with leading edge angle. The gas surface interaction models adopt the diffuse reflection model, the Cercignan...

An approximate solution for the acoustic coupling factor (the diffraction correction function) from a focused transducer to a flat plate and back to the transducer is provided. This function is useful for system calibrations where a pulse-echo system or transmit-receive system is used. Numerical solutions are provided for the important case where the flat plate is placed near the focal plane of...

we present here, a haar wavelet method for a class of third order partial dierentialequations (pdes) arising in impulsive motion of a flat plate. we also, present adomaindecomposition method to find the analytic solution of such equations. efficiency andaccuracy have been illustrated by solving numerical examples.

The Lam and Rott theory of linearized unsteady boundary layers is revisited, and some new results are obtained. The exact outer eigensolution for a flat plate found in the original paper is shown to be a special case of the Prandtl transposition theorem. The streamwise coordinate-dependent factor of the inner eigen-solutions, first found by M. E. Goldstein for the flat plate, is generalized for...

This study investigates the effect of nozzle-plate distance on the acoustic phenomena from a correctly expanded supersonic jet impinging on an inclined flat plate. In the authors’ previous study, the overall sound-pressure-level (OASPL) in the direction almost perpendicular to the plate from the impingement region became highest when the nozzle-plate distance was 15D (D, the nozzle exit diamete...

Flow over micro-scale airfoils is investigated in order to understand the aerodynamic issues related to micro air vehicle design and performance. Studies have shown that such low Reynolds number flow exhibits rarefied phenomena and a flat plate having a thickness ratio of 5% has better aerodynamic performance than conventional streamlined airfoils. This paper simulates gas flows over a 5% flat ...
