Derivation, testing and application of a new multi-scale k-e̳ turbulence model
(1991)
This study discusses the derivation and assessment of a new two-scale dissipation equation, the genesis of which begins with a different fundamental equation than previous multi-scale or single-scale models. The new approach ...
The prediction and measurement of incompressible flow in a labyrinth seal
(1986)
A computational/experimental study was conducted on the incompressible flow in a labyrinth seal at a variety of leakage rates and seal rotation rates. The predictions were obtained using a finite difference code that ...
Influence of mainstream turbulence and unsteady wake on turbine blade heat transfer
(1993)
The influence of mainstream turbulence and unsteady wake on turbine blade surface heat transfer was studied. The experiments were performed with a five-blade linear cascade in a low speed wind tunnel facility. The wake and ...
Effect of high mainstream turbulence on leading edge heat transfer and film cooling
(1991)
This dissertation details an experimental investigation of the influence of high mainstream turbulence on leading edge film cooling heat transfer. High mainstream turbulence was produced by a bar grid (Tu = 3.3-5.1%), a ...
Flow field study of a rectangular jet
(1990)
A rectangular turbulent jet has a complex three dimensional flow field. These jets are frequently used in industry, however their flow field dynamics are not understood. The objective of this study was to increase the ...
Thermohydrodynamic analysis of product-lubricated hydrostatic bearings in turbulent regime
(1992)
A bulk-flow thermohydrodynamic (THD) analysis is developed for accurate predictions of the static and dynamic performance characteristics of turbulent flow product-lubricated hydrostatic journal bearings (HJBs). Pointwise ...
