Abstract: Cavitation inception and development caused by a backward facing step in a Venturi-type test section were studied experimentally for different step heights (0.8–4mm). High-speed cinematography and ...

Abstract: This paper presents a review of research done over the past several years at Purdue on non-canonical jets-in-crossflow. It is a retrospective and an integrative compilation of results previously ...

Abstract: The effect of a crown-shaped nozzle on cavitation is studied experimentally in the near-field of a 25 mm diameter (D) water jet at ReD=2×105 using particle image velocimetry (PIV) and ...

Abstract: The near-wall physics of a planar, shear-driven, 3-D turbulent boundary layer with varying strengths of crossflow are examined. Flow visualization data reveals a reduction of mean streak length ...

Abstract: Turbomachinery flows can be extremely difficult to predict, due to a multitude of effects, including interacting strain rates, compressibility, and rotation. The primary objective of this investigation ...

Abstract: The synoptic behavior of a two‐dimensional turbulent surface jet is experimentally investigated. Single‐point hot‐film data were obtained for mean and root‐mean‐square velocities in the developing jet to a distance of 240 ...
