Abstract: The mean-flow and turbulent properties of two-dimensional buoyant jets discharged vertically upward into a crossflowing ambient have been measured in a hydraulic flume, using laser velocimetry and ...

Abstract: An experimental study of two-dimensional, curved, heated (but essentially non-buoyant) jets is reported. The experiments were conducted in a hydraulic flume in which a curved jet was produced ...

Abstract: The evolution of the longitudinal vortex in the near field of a rectangular wing has been visualized using smoke and laser light sheet. The smoke photographs have been used to obtain qualitative ...

Abstract: Data on the gross performance of conical diffusers subjected to annular secondary injection at inlet are reported. Tests indicate that the improvement in diffuser performance is significant even ...

Abstract: An approach based on the “entrainment” theory is presented as a tool for the prediction of turbulent boundary layer growth in adverse pressure gradients. The rate of entrainment of free-stream ...

Abstract: This paper presents results of turbulence measurements in boundary layers over surfaces of mild longitudinal curvature. The study indicates that convex wall curvature decreases both the length ...

Abstract: Measurements on the mean and most of the significant turbulent properties of plane isothermal and heated (but essentially “nonbouyant”) jets are reported. The velocity measurements were made using ...

Abstract: Mean-flow and turbulence measurements have been obtained in two-dimensional vertical turbulent plumes in a nominally still ambient. The plumes were generated by injecting hot water vertically ...

Abstract: There is not much information available on the use of diaphragm-type pressure transducers for the measurement of unsteady pressures in liquids. A procedure for measuring the dynamic response of ...
