Abstract: The effect of the lubricating film is accounted for by a slip flow boundary condition, and the nonsimilar boundary layer problem is solved by a local nonsimilarity solution method.

Abstract: It is demonstrated that the development of a viscous film flow down along a vertical wall can be described by the classical Falkner-Skan equation from aerodynamic boundary layer theory for the ...

Abstract: The ultimate effects of the entrance region on startup flow are considered by one-dimensional steady-state analysis. By roughly accounting for the entrance loss, semiempirical formulas for the ...

Abstract: A supercritical, free-surface flow on an adverse incline has been modeled as a “thin-shear-layer” with algebraic eddy-viscosity included to account for turbulent shear stresses. The model has ...
