Abstract: Experiments for a first fluid mechanics course are described. The basic concepts of pressure and velocity as the primitive variables, the control volume equations and the field equations with ...

Abstract: The secondary flow in a low aspect ratio incompressible turbulent bounded jet is described in terms of a near, middle, and far field in which the secondary motion is initiated, developed, and ...

Abstract: An experimental program, to determine the magnitude of the force on the impact disk for the radial out-flow between parallel disks, has been carried out for moderate Reynolds numbers. The ...

Abstract: The isotach pattern in a bounded jet with an aspect ratio of 6 suggests the presence of a secondary flow structure. A physical flow model is presented, and further measurements substantiate ...

Abstract: The discharge coefficient, CD, of a planar, submerged slit-jet has been determined experimentally over a relatively wide range of Reynolds number values: Re=100–6500, where the slit width (w) ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation of an aerodynamic shroud applied to an axial ventilation fan system is reported. The aerodynamic shroud consists of a pressurized plenum and Coanda attachment surface, ...

Abstract: Time-resolved measurements of the spanwise vorticity component, ωz , are used to investigate the motions in the outer region of turbulent boundary layers. The measurements were taken in very ...
