This book was released on 1978 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of the initial boundary layer upon the downstream growth of the turbulent mixing layer between two streams is studied experimentally. Two streams are studied experimentally. Two conditions are carefully documented--in one case the boundary layers at separation are laminar; in the other case one boundary layer is made turbulent with a trip wire. When the boundary layer is turbulent, the lateral length scale, theta, characterizing the thickness of the mixing region, grows more slowly. At 400-500 initial momentum thicknesses downstream, the growth rate relaxes toward--but does not meet--the growth rate of the untripped mixing layer. The lateral distributions of turbulence quantities, when scaled with the local lateral thickness, achieve the same form at distances beyond approximately 800 momentum thicknesses. (Author).

Download or read book Statistical Hydrodynamic Models for Developed Mixing Instability Flows written by Antoine Llor and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-23 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part textbook, part exploratory work, this book aims to raise the awareness of students, physicists, and engineers in turbulence on the modeling of gravitationally induced turbulent mixing flows as produced, for instance, by Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities. The discussion is centered on the differences between single-fluid and two-fluid approaches, and it is illustrated with a 0D analysis of two specific elementary models in common use. Important deviations are shown to appear on many features, among others the prominence of directed energy, the simultaneous restitution of test cases, the responses to variable acceleration and shocks, and the behavior of various length scales.

Download or read book Influence of Initial Boundary Layer on the Two Dimensional Turbulent Mixing of a Single Stream written by R. C. Bauer and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An integral method is presented for estimating the influence of an initial boundary layer on the development of a two-dimensional, isobaric, turbulent, free shear layer. The basic equation is derived by applying the principle that, at any streamwise station along the free shear layer, the momentum of the entrained flow equals the total axial turbulent shear force acting along the dividing streamline. This equation is solved using a single parameter family of velocity profiles derived by Korst and Prandtl's mixing length concept for turbulent shear stress. The theory involves one empirical constant which was evaluated using Tollmien's experimental data for incompressible, turbulent mixing. The theory is verified by comparing with experimental data for free-stream Mach numbers up to 6.4. (Author).

This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Origin of Species Charles Darwin The origin of turbulence in fluids is a long-standing problem and has been the focus of research for decades due to its great importance in a variety of engineering applications. Furthermore, the study of the origin of turbulence is part of the fundamental physical problem of turbulence description and the philosophical problem of determinism and chaos. At the end of the nineteenth century, Reynolds and Rayleigh conjectured that the reason of the transition of laminar flow to the 'sinuous' state is in stability which results in amplification of wavy disturbances and breakdown of the laminar regime. Heisenberg (1924) was the founder of linear hydrody namic stability theory. The first calculations of boundary layer stability were fulfilled in pioneer works of Tollmien (1929) and Schlichting (1932, 1933). Later Taylor (1936) hypothesized that the transition to turbulence is initi ated by free-stream oscillations inducing local separations near wall. Up to the 1940s, skepticism of the stability theory predominated, in particular due to the experimental results of Dryden (1934, 1936). Only the experiments of Schubauer and Skramstad (1948) revealed the determining role of insta bility waves in the transition. Now it is well established that the transition to turbulence in shear flows at small and moderate levels of environmental disturbances occurs through development of instability waves in the initial laminar flow. In Chapter 1 we start with the fundamentals of stability theory, employing results of the early studies and recent advances.

Download or read book Shallow Flows written by Gerhard H. Jirka and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2004-09-15 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text presents the key findings of the International Symposium held in Delft in 2003, which explored the process of shallow flows. Shallow flows are found in lowland rivers, lakes, estuaries, bays, coastal areas and in density-stratified atmospheres, and may be observed in puddles, as in oceans. They impact on the life and work of a wide variety of readers, who are here provided with a clear overview of the subject. Shallow flows are intrinsically turbulent. On one hand, there are strongly three-dimensional, small-scale turbulent motions and on the other hand, large-scale quasi-two-dimensional turbulence. This book explains and examines these differences and their effects with sections on transport processes in shallow flows; shallow jets, wakes and mixing layers; stratified and rotating flows in ocean and atmosphere; river and channel flows; and numerical modelling and turbulence closure techniques. The reader is provided with the pick of current studies and a fresh approach to the subject, with expert examination of a fascinating and crucial phenomenon of our world's water systems.
