Abstract: The origin and consequences of a nonphysical constraint which may arise when boundary-layer momentum integral equations are used to predict the behavior of shear layers are examined. It is ...

Abstract: The development of the normalized Reynolds stress tensor, ui uj /q2 , in the region upstream of a fully developed, turbulent shear flow is investigated. An inviscid, linear model is used to ...

Abstract: Theoretical predictions of turbulent boundary layer development under the influence of strong favorable pressure gradients made using a finite-difference calculation procedure are compared to ...

Abstract: A numerical solution procedure for the ensemble-averaged, compressible, time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations is applied to predict the flow about a cascade of airfoils operating in the transonic ...

Abstract: Transonic strong blade-vortex interaction is numerically analyzed by solving the unsteady 2-D Navier–Stokes equations using an iterative implicit second order scheme. The dominant processes during ...

Abstract: The multidimensional, ensemble-averaged, compressible, time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations have been used to study the turbulent flow field in two and three-dimensional turbine cascades. The viscous ...

Abstract: Significant improvements in efficiency for electricity generation from coal can be achieved by cycles that employ a high-temperature, highly recuperative gas turbine topping cycle. The principal ...
