Abstract: The predictive capabilities of four transport-type turbulence models are analyzed by comparing predictions with experimental data for fully-developed flow in (1) a rectangular duct with a step ...

Abstract: This paper describes a full Reynolds stress transport equation model for predicting developing turbulent flow in rectangular ducts. The pressure-strain component of the model is based on a ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the feasibility of diagnosing intraurethral obstructions in males by means of a pressure pulse technique. Initial discussion centers on some of the anatomical and physiological ...

Abstract: The influence of tangential fluid injection on the performance of inherently stalled, two-dimensional diffusers is examined both analytically and experimentally. In particular, the effects of ...

Abstract: An experimental study was conducted in order to examine the nature of flow within a high-inlet-aspect-ratio rectangular diffuser with locally detached flow in the corner region, but attached ...

Abstract: The applicability of the Reynolds stress model developed in Part I to fully developed rectangular duct flow is investigated. Two sets of experimental data are analyzed in order to prescribe a ...

Abstract: A Reynolds stress model is proposed for modeling the local turbulence structure in flow along a streamwise corner. Initial discussion centers on present methods of predicting internal and extenal ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional mixing length model is proposed for modeling local Reynolds stress behavior in rectangular ducts of arbitrary aspect ratio. The model is applicable to both developing and ...

Abstract: In the turbulent flow of a fluid along a corner, secondary flows occur which have a marked influence on the velocity distributions in planes normal to the mean flow direction. All published ...
