Abstract: The microrotation viscosity is an essential fluid property in micropolar fluid dynamics. By considering a dilute suspension of inertial spherical pointparticles in an otherwise Newtonian fluid, an explicit analytical ...

Abstract: This paper reports calculations of threedimensional (3D) unsteady cross flow over two ship sections in close proximity and compares the results with measurements. The ship sections have different breadth and draft conditions ...

Abstract: Revisiting the fluctuating vorticity field in the centerplane of a turbulent channel flow, we show that the vorticity is distinctly anisotropic at low Reynolds numbers (Re). This result is in contrast with some earlier ...

Abstract: The present work is motivated by phenomena occurring in the flow field around structures partly submerged in water. A threedimensional (3D) unsteady flow around a rectangular cylinder is studied for four different submergence ...

Abstract: The flow around curved tandem cylinders of equal diameter has been investigated for the first time, by means of direct numerical simulations. A convex configuration was used. The nominal gap ratio was L/D = 3.0 and a ...

Abstract: New data are presented for the spectrum of turbulent wind energy under maritime conditions in the frequency region 1.0?0.03 mHz. The corresponding measurements were made at five levels on a mast 46 m high on a small islet ...
