7. Boundary layer When a fluid moves around a fixed obstacle, the velocity and pressure fields are disturbed by it. If the velocity in the distance is small, the effect of viscosity, which is the ...

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

From laminar legends to turbulent terrors — we’re ranking the most iconic concepts in fluid mechanics. Boundary layers, ...

Abstract This paper presents the study of convective heat transfer characteristics of an incompressible dusty fluid past a vertical stretching sheet. The governing partial differential equations are ...

The fluid is of density, thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity (at constant pressure). The boundary layer equations are (1) The boundary conditions for this flow are (2) for a flow over an ...

The fluid flows quicker farther from the boundary, but its velocity changes in a very specific manner. Its average velocity increases in the viscous and buffer layers and then transitions to a ...

ME 373 is the second course in fluid mechanics for undergraduates. ME undergraduates are required to take either Thermodynamics II (ME 370) or this course as a part of the mechanical engineering ...

We examine theoretically the steady free convection from a vertical isothermal flat plate immersed in a micropolar fluid. The governing non-similar boundary-layer equations are derived and are found ...
