We consider the laminar boundary-layer flow past a semi-infinite plate with a stream-wise ridge. We seek similarity solutions to the problem, when the freestream velocity takes the form x* n, where x* ...

How do you take copper wire, a battery and magnets and make electric train? How do you take copper wire, a battery and magnets and make electric train? With science! This super simple DIY physics demo ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 299, No. 1459 (Jul. 25, 1967), pp. 491-507 (17 pages) Consider the Prandtl boundary layer equation for ...

A group of University of Arizona engineering faculty members is working together to advance research into vehicles moving five times faster than the speed of sound. Over the course of 2020, faculty ...

We have found that low levels of helium injection near the leading edge stabilizes the turbulent boundary layer, apparently causing a reverse transition to laminar flow to take place. These results ...

Time-accurate high-fidelity computation considering wing deformation and transition from laminar to turbulent flow for a transport aircraft configuration in the transonic regime. Time-accurate ...
