The interaction of lateral inflow with a co-stream in an open channel generates strong turbulence due to flow mixing, air entrainment and the possible formation of vortices 1. Lateral inflow ...

Scientists at the University of Stuttgart's Institute of Aerodynamics and Gas Dynamics (IAG) have produced a novel dataset that will improve the development of turbulence models. With the help of the ...

How much stress do pipes undergo when a liquid flows through them, and how does it depend on the degree of curvature of the pipe? Bends in pipes are different than their straight sections because, in ...

Tests of a proposed friction-factor equation have shown it to be accurate for calculating pressure loss in turbulent flow for a pipeline transporting a non-Newtonian fluid, such as most crude oils and ...

Researchers discovered a way to reverse the direction of energy flow in turbulence, challenging a theory that has stood for more than 80 years. The finding could open new possibilities for controlling ...

Turbulence modeling is one of the main sources of uncertainty in CFD simulations of technical flows. This is not surprising, as turbulence is the most complex phenomenon in classical physics.
