... by a moving object due to the no-slip boundary condition and the stagnation point of the caused flow. Then, I recommend Saitama to use a fly swatter based on the aerodynamics of the fly swatter. The aerodynamics of the swatter head is related to the boundary layer and extended toward the olfactory antenna...

... Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate a velocity distribution of velocity boundary layer on a spherical bubble using numerical simulation and to compare the results with the theoretical model. In this study, we calculated the axisymmetric flow around a spherical bubble, the Reynolds...

... 10 07 2009 In this paper an effective numerical technique is presented to model turbulent motion of a standing surface wave in a tank. The equations of motion for turbulent boundary layers at the solid surfaces are coupled with the potential flow in the bulk of the fluid, and a mixed...

... 26 03 2009 An experimental investigation has been made on a turbulent boundary layer near the trailing edge on a long flat plate. The flow was controlled by an additional splitter plate fitted to the trailing edge along the wake center line. The length of the splitter plate, l...

... 26 03 2009 The heat transfer characteristics of a visco-elastic fluid within the boundary layer formed by the passage of a sheet stretching at a uniform rate through it are studied under varying influencing parameters using a numerical technique. The influence of considering...

... the strength of the boundary layer wake parameter decreased in the wake region. The turbulence intensity profiles in the wake region increasingly deviated significantly from the upstream profile. Generally, the increased FST noticed in the near-wake region was observed to decay with downstream distance...

... Marine biofouling Soft roughness Boundary layer Skin friction Filamentous algae fouling such as Enteromorpha clathrata is a soft and hairy-like substance that can protrude even through a normal boundary layer. Typically, such fouling has been treated as traditional roughness functions...

... 05 02 2009 A direct numerical simulation approach was employed along with a Lagrangian particle tracking technique to investigate particle motion and dispersion in a turbulent boundary layer. The present study investigated a range of particle inertias corresponding to outer Stokes...

... 05 02 2009 Jets issuing through small holes in a wall into a freestream have proven effective in the control of boundary layer separation. Longitudinal (streamwise) vortices are produced by the interaction between the jets and the freestream. This technique is known as the vortex...

..., and to measure turbine performance. Flow visualization allowed the identification of laminar flow, laminar separation bubble formation, flow reattachment, turbulent boundary layer, and turbulent separation. The complex patterns on the rotating blade surface were confirmed by the oil-film visualization method...

... 08 09 2008 A semi-analytical solution to the virtual mass of a spherical particle accelerating at high speed is obtained. Boundary layer separation coupled with potential flow was assumed around the solid sphere. The new solution of the virtual mass coefficient C V converges...
