In this chapter, we discuss the types of thin shear layers that occur in flows in which the Reynolds number is large. The first of these is the boundary layer, or region near a solid boundary where ...

Hurricanes, or tropical cyclones, can be devastating natural disasters, leveling entire cities and claiming hundreds or ...

The efficacy of the method, in a laminar boundary layer, has been established by comparison with the Blasius boundary layer equation for mass transfer 1.

Illustration of daytime-warm-season boundary layer circulations and Cumulus cloud formation over complex terrain. Current research efforts in mesoscale and boundary-layer dynamics utilize novel ...

The study of the processes that lead to the formation, growth, and precipitation of clouds in the boundary layer of the lower atmosphere. Develops models and analyzes observations to understand the ...

The Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel in the Hele-Shaw Laboratory within the Faculty of Engineering is a designated National Wind Tunnel Facility, supporting a diverse range of research activities for both ...

Ph.D. Student in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, M.S. Atmospheric Sciences University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, B.S. (Double Major: Earth Systems, Environment, and Society; Atmospheric Sciences) ...

These shocks can interact with each other in a complex manner due to the characteristics of the shock wave–turbulent boundary layer interaction (STBLI), including flow distortion and the relaxing ...

Zhenyuan Tang [Opens in a new window], In hypersonic flight the shock wave and turbulent boundary layer interaction (STBLI) sharply increases wall heat transfer that intensifies the aerodynamic ...
