Using HLRS’s Hawk supercomputer, University of Stuttgart scientists have for the first time produced high-resolution simulation data characterizing the transition from low to high Reynolds numbers in ...

Researchers from the Department of Mechanics and Engineering Science at Peking University (PKU), led by Prof. Chen Shiyi and Prof. Yang Yantao, have recently proposed a mechanism to enhance the ...

Air–sea interaction and turbulent boundary layers lie at the heart of exchanges between the atmosphere and the ocean. This field examines the momentum, heat, and scalar transfers across the air–sea ...

Boundary layer transition and turbulence modelling represent central challenges in fluid dynamics, with profound implications for the design and performance of aerospace, automotive, and energy ...

Since at least the 1920s, scientists have been puzzled by the turbulence that arises when a liquid hits a wall. For instance, what happens when water violently sloshes against the side of a pool or ...

The boundary layer, a tiny layer on the surface of a body in a flowing fluid, such as an airplane wing in the air, is of paramount importance for the future of flight. Just over 100 years ago, Ludwig ...

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 ...

The state and properties of boundary layer (BL) flows are very important issues for the design and operation of high performance air- and ground- vehicles as well as for many industrial flow ...
