Boundary layer control is a technique that can improve the aerodynamic performance of an aircraft by manipulating the flow of air over the surface. It can reduce drag, increase lift, and enhance ...

Scientists at the University of Stuttgart's Institute of Aerodynamics and Gas Dynamics (IAG) have produced a novel dataset ...

If the truck is moving through still air, that's okay, but if there's wind striking the vehicle at an angle, it can slow down the boundary layer, causing it to separate and form turbulence.

This chapter contains sections titled: 4.1 Boundary Layer Flow Features and Overview, 4.2 Defect Integrals and Thicknesses, 4.3 Boundary Layer Governing Equations, 4.4 Boundary Layer Response to ...

A golf ball, for example, is dimpled for a very important aerodynamic reason: The dimples make the boundary layer more turbulent, which keeps it wrapped around the ball longer.

The purpose of this article is to review recent developments of certain aspects of the theory of unsteady laminar boundary layers. The review is not all-embracing in the sense that the theory of ...

By using the shear stress transport (SST) k-ω turbulence model and the multi-stage fast multipole method (MLFMM) to respectively calculate the viscous flow and the surface current, the radar stealth ...
