Abstract: The effect of axisymmetric contractions of a given shape and of contraction ratios c = 11, 22, 44.5, 64, and 100 on the free-stream turbulence of an incompressible flow has been studied ...

Abstract: The performance characteristics of four different axisymmetric contraction shapes with the same contraction ratio are experimentally investigated for incompressible flow. The pre- and postcontraction ...

Abstract: In asymptotic analysis of the hydrodynamic stability of shear flows, the viscous effects enter through the modified Tietjens Function, which is used in the graphical determination of the ...

Abstract: Measurements in a turbulent channel flow of air are presented for three Reynolds numbers. The design features of the present system suggest that the flow is a closer approximation to fully ...

Abstract: This paper deals with wave forces on a single cylinder. The wave forces are simulated in a laboratory by oscillating a cylinder sinusoidally in water otherwise at rest. This effort is a ...

Abstract: In an attempt to explore the existence of large-scale coherent structures in the nearly self-preserving region of an axisymmetric free air jet, a 2.54 cm air jet at a Reynolds number ReD = ...
