Abstract: The fully developed incompressible turbulent boundary layer in a channel has been explored using constant-temperature hot-wire anemometry. Particular attention was paid to measurements well into ...

Abstract: The present experiments provide information about free shear layer transition to turbulence and the associated three-dimensional behavior patterns of vortex growth and breakdown. The free shear ...

Abstract: Inclined laminar submerged plane jets were injected from a 1 cm slot into a turbulent boundary layer developed on a sidewall of a water channel. Profiles of mean velocities and longitudinal ...

Abstract: Using a spatial filtering technique, moiré patterns can be observed that correspond to different forms of the indicial equation describing the parametric properties of gratings and moiré. In ...

Abstract: A complete, direct, full-field optical determination of dynamic stress distributions by a combination of photoelastic and interferometric measurements is illustrated. The method is applied to the ...

Abstract: The transient thermal response of a rock bed with no net fluid flow is examined following all-day charging under clear sky conditions. The experimental system consists of 1.86 m2 (20 ft2 ) ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the photoelastic analysis of stress waves in bars and plates subjected to damped sinusoidal loading. The device used to apply the loading is a piezoelectric transducer ...

Abstract: An analysis is made of the phase change across the interface of a suddenly pressurized, binary liquid-vapor system. The time-dependent temperature and concentration distribution, interfacial growth, ...

Abstract: The free-convection flow along a vertical plate oscillating in its own plane is given analytical treatment. The basic equations of boundary-layer flow and heat transfer are linearized and the ...
