(2012-02-14)On-going efforts to reduce aircraft drag through transition delay focus on understanding the process of boundary-layer transition from a physics-based perspective. For swept-wings subject to transition dominated by a ...
-
(2016-05-04)This dissertation presents laboratory experiments of bubble plumes in crossflows and field measurements in managed lakes aerated by bubble plumes to better understand the behavior of bubble plumes in natural environments. ...
-
(2011-08-08)Laminar flow control has been studied for several decades in an effort to achieve higher efficiencies for aircraft. Successful implementation of laminar flow control technology on transport aircraft could significantly ...

(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Numerical simulations of a three dimensional diamond jet interaction flowfield at various diamond injector half angles into a supersonic crossflow were presented in this thesis. The numerical study was performed to improve ...
-
(2018-11-30)Nuclear reactors pump coolant through their core and heat exchangers at massive mass flow rates to sustain energy production. These demanding requirements push engineers to extreme levels of optimization to safely sustain ...
-
(2016-04-08)Advancement in computational sciences has made Computational Fluid Dynamics an attractive alternative to simulate fully three dimensional VIV motion for very long marine risers (L/D > 1000). In this study, an unsteady ...
