This paper presents a novel and accurate method to implement the Kutta condition in solving subsonic (subcritical) inviscid isentropic compressible flow over isolated airfoils using the stream function equation. The proposed method relies on body-fit...

Entropy and entropy generation are abstract and illusive concepts for undergraduate students. In general, students find it difficult to visualize entropy generation in real (irreversible) processes, especially at a mechanistic level. Fluid mechanics...

This paper presents experimental results on the vortex shedding frequency measured behind a bent cylinder. Experiments were conducted in a wind tunnel covering Reynolds numbers between 50 and 500, a range of interest for flow sensing, flow control, a...

We investigate the flow structure and dynamics of moderate-Rayleigh-number ( R a ) thermal convection in a two-dimensional...

The formation mechanism of extreme waves in the coastal areas is still an open contemporary problem in fluid mechanics and ocean engineering. Previous studies have shown that the transition of water depth from a deeper to a shallower zone increases t...

Although one-dimensional non-linear diffusion equations are commonly used to model flow dynamics in aquifers and fissures, they disregard multiple effects of real-life flows. Similarity analysis may allow further analytical reduction of these equatio...

We present dimensionally reduced Reynolds type equations for steady lubricating flows of incompressible non-Newtonian fluids with shear-dependent viscosity by employing a rigorous perturbation analysis on the governing equations of motion. Our analys...

We present the theoretical models and review the most recent results of a class of experiments in the field of surface gravity waves. These experiments serve as demonstration of an analogy to a broad variety of phenomena in optics and quantum mechani...

We study the steady free convective flow of a Bingham fluid in a porous channel where heat is supplied by both differential heating of the sidewalls and by means of a uniform internal heat generation. The detailed temperature profile is governing by...

A monolithic semi-implicit method is presented for three-dimensional simulation of fluid–structure interaction problems. The updated Lagrangian framework is used for the structure modeled by linear elasticity equation and, for the fluid governe...
