Effect of Favourable Pressure Gradient on Turbulence in Boundary Layers
(2018-07-16)
This thesis explores the effects of favourable pressure gradient on the structure of turbulent boundary layers (TBL). In this context, the structure of three types of boundary layers namely a zero-pressure-gradient ...
On Viscous Flux Discretization Procedures For Finite Volume And Meshless Solvers
(2009-04-29)
This work deals with discretizing viscous fluxes in the context of unstructured data based finite volume and meshless solvers, two competing methodologies for simulating viscous flows past complex industrial geometries. ...
Experiments on the Late Stages of Boundary Layer Transition
(2018-03-19)
In canonical boundary layer transition, a uniform laminar flow perturbed by 2-d T-S waves develops downstream into 3-d waves, which eventually break down with turbulent spots appearing. Previous experimental studies have ...
Analysis of Unsteady Incompressible Potential Flow Over a Swimming Slender Fish and a Swept Wing Tail
(2018-05-16)
This thesis deals with computing the pressure distribution around a swimming slender fish
and the thrust generated by its flapping motion. The body of the fish is modeled as a missile like slender body to which a tail is ...
Transition Zone In Constant Pressure Boundary Layer With Converging Streamlines
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-04-18)
The laminar-turbulent transition in viscous fluid flows is one of the most intriguing problems in fluid dynamics today. In view of the enormous applications it has in a variety of fields such as aircraft design, turbomachinery, ...
