Abstract: Stratified flows are encountered in many industrial applications. The determination of the flow characteristics is essential for the prediction of pressure drop and holdup in the system. The aim ...

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: 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 ...

Abstract: The pressure drop from the umbilical vein to the heart plays a vital part in human fetal circulation. The bulk of the pressure drop is believed to take place at the inlet of the ductus ...
