Dr. Xiaomin Chen, a researcher at The University of Alabama in Huntsville, has published a paper in Geophysical Research ...

Boundary layer transition and turbulence modelling represent central challenges in fluid dynamics, with profound implications for the design and performance of aerospace, automotive, and energy ...

Turbulent Flow and Boundary Layer Theory: Selected Topics and Solved Problems explains fundamental concepts of turbulent flow with boundary layer analysis. A general introduction to turbulent flow ...

At long last, researchers have discovered equations that describe the intricacies of the behavior seen within the layers of turbulent fluids as they encounter such boundaries. Boundary layer ...

However, calculating the turbulence in the planetary boundary layer, the lowest layer of the atmosphere, can be difficult due to how the presence of trees, tall buildings and other aspects of the ...

I will describe why later, but first a lesson in air dynamics. There are three general types of turbulence: boundary layer, mountain wave and clear air turbulence. The latter is especially ...

We have found that low levels of helium injection near the leading edge stabilizes the turbulent boundary layer, apparently causing a reverse transition to laminar flow to take place. These results ...

Severe turbulence can be a frightening experience and it led to passenger injuries on a recent Ryanair flight. Typically, ...
