The effects of boundary conditions on the performance of compact, zero-mass-flux, oscillatory momentum and vorticity generators (OMVG's) were studied experimentally. The slot exit boundary conditions allowed unrestricted and restricted entrainment. The excitation signals included a pure sine wave (as a reference) and amplitude modulated sine wave,...

... 1mm wide by 135mm long. The actuator to be discussed here ejected the excitation normal to the wall on which it was installed (see Fig. 6 for a sketch of the boundary conditions)). Fig. 3 shows a picture of this actuator installed in a small wind tunnel test section (Ref. 25). Note that there is a major difference between the boundary conditions of the compact actuator and the plate inserted actuator, namely a 360° vs. 180° in-plane suction into the slot and fluid entrainment capability during the ejection stage. However, the resulting flow fields were quite similar. Unsteady pressure and temperature were measured in the actuators’ cavities. Indications of the actuator membrane displacements were measured for ...

A new optimization algorithm based on a minimum residual technique is introduced to reduce the instability of numerical methods due to using wall functions to specify the boundary conditions for high Reynolds number flows. In the present article, four different models of the wall-function approximation are investigated for separated flow inside a t...

The objective of the paper is to study the Rayleigh-Bѐnard convection in second order fluid by replacing the classical Fourier heat law by non-classical Maxwell-Cattaneo law using Galerkin technique. The eigen value of the problem is obtained using the general boundary conditions on velocity and third type of boundary conditions on temperature. A l...

In this paper the effects of suction, thermal radiation, heat generation on the unsteady flow of a Casson fluid over an exponentially stretching sheet in the presence of Hall currents with convective boundary condition is investigated. The governing equations of the flow are formulated and solved numerically on introducing suitable similarity trans...

A short review of the similarities and differences between large-and fine-scale assimilation systems is given, with an emphasis on global and convective-scale numerical weather prediction (NWP). Interesting issues specific to fine scales include lateral boundary conditions, assimilation of convection and clouds, and more generally, heterogeneities...

New time integration methods are proposed for simulating incompressible multiphase flow in pipelines described by the one-dimensional two-fluid model. The methodology is based on 'half-explicit' Runge-Kutta methods, being explicit for the mass and momentum equations and implicit for the volume constraint. These half-explicit methods are constraint-...
