(2023-03-20)High-order discontinuous spectral element methods provide a potential direction for drastically reducing the computational cost of simulating complex unsteady fluid flows due to their high accuracy, geometric flexibility, ...
-
(2021-08-02)There are significant challenges involved in the design of hypersonic vehicles/projectiles, one of them being the fluid dynamics on the surface. The fluid dynamics can affect the thermal load, structural load and handling ...

(2021-07-22)The BOundary Layer Turbulence (BOLT-II) flight experiment proposed by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) is a joint collaboration between academia, industry, and government partners to advance the understanding ...
-
(1983)An equation was developed that enables the calculation of the Fanning friction factor for the flow of power law fluids. The equation applies for all flow regions - laminar, transitional and turbulent. The equation is based ...
-
(2019-01-08)Hypersonics is of current national interest, but improved understanding of fundamental flow physics is required for safe and efficient vehicle design. The objective of the present study was to expand the knowledgebase of ...

(2013-10-22)Many areas of physics, engineering and applied mathematics require solutions of inhomogeneous biharmonic problems. For example, various problems on Stokes flow and elasticity can be cast into biharmonic boundary value ...
-
(2014-04-17)The effects of surface roughness on boundary-layer disturbance growth and laminar-to-turbulent transition are not well understood, especially in hypersonic boundary layers. The transient growth mechanism that produces ...
-
(2009-05-15)This work presents an approach to effectively integrate into one unified modular fire simulation framework the major processes related to fire, namely: a burning process, chemical combustion, heat distribution, decomposition ...
-
(2012-07-16)This work presents a number of the practical aspects of developing reduced- order models (ROMs) based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). ROMS are derived and implemented for multiphase flow, quasi-2D nozzle flow ...
-
(2016-04-13)Turbulence in high-speed flows is an important problem in aerospace applications, yet extremely difficult from a theoretical, computational and experimental perspective. A main reason for the lack of complete understanding ...
