Recent advances have significantly enhanced our understanding of the complex fluid dynamics surrounding wind turbine blades. By employing non-invasive imaging techniques such as infrared thermography, ...

In an experiment on how turbulent boundary layers respond to acceleration in the flow around them, aerospace engineers at the observed an unexpected internal boundary layer. In an experiment on how ...

If there are no shear stresses present, there is no fluid deformation, and the behavior of a fluid is described by the bulk modulus relating the pressure and the compression strain. In the presence of ...

Description: Fundamentals of continuum fluid mechanics; Navier-Stokes equations. Laminar flow; boundary-layer concept; similarity solutions; transformation methods; integral and finite difference ...

A body moving through a fluid experiences a drag force, which is usually divided into two components: frictional drag, and pressure drag. Frictional drag comes from friction between the fluid and the ...
