Abstract: A computational tool, called a Unified Integral Method (UIM) is reviewed. The method is used for preliminary design and performance analysis of simple diffusers with thin inlet boundary layers ...

Abstract: Stabilization of turbulent boundary layer type flows by the action of Coriolis forces engendered by system rotation is studied. Experiments on fully developed, two-dimensional flow in a long, ...

Abstract: A study of the secondary flow type of three-dimensional turbulent boundary layer is presented. Two objectives are achieved: (a) A mathematical model of the relationship between the cross-flow ...

Abstract: Straight-walled, two-dimensional diffusers of large aspect ratio were investigated experimentally for the purpose of studying the regime of incipient transitory stall, the location of the geometry ...

Abstract: An analytical and experimental study on the effects of large distortions of inlet velocity profiles on flow regimes and performance in diffusers is reported. Experiments are restricted to flow ...

Abstract: A method based on turbulent boundary layer integral theory is presented for the prediction of performance in two-dimensional, straight-center-line diffusers which contain, at most, small amounts ...

Abstract: An analytical method of the integral type is developed to allow prediction of performance in unstalled, straight, two-dimensional rectangular diffusers of aspect ratio less than approximately 0.5. ...

Abstract: Predictions have been made for a variety of experimental three-dimensional boundary layer flows with a single finite difference method which was used with three different turbulent stress models: ...
