A Similarity Model For Flow In A Turbulent Boundary Layer, Earl Clark Lemmon
A Similarity Model For Flow In A Turbulent Boundary Layer, Earl Clark Lemmon
Theses and Dissertations
One of the basic goals in engineering is to generate models which will provide a means for analytically predicting observed phenomenon. Such a model is often modified several times to obtain better results. The purpose of this study was to generate a model for an equilibrium turbulent boundary layer for steady flow over a flat plate and compare the results obtained by using the model with experimental data. Part of the objective was to also suggest ways in which the model could be modified to obtain better results.

The Development Of Turbulent Flow In The Inlet Region Of Smooth Pipe, Forrest C. Smith
Theses and Dissertations
Turbulent flows are encountered in nearly every case where fluid motion is involved. Turbulent flow in pipes is of great practical interest, and the problem of flow in the entry region is of special importance since the great majority of applications are in the realm of developing flow.

Turbulent Flow In The Entry Region, Chin-Hsiu Li
Theses and Dissertations
When entering into the subject of turbulent flow, it is essential to understand that the kind of flow with which we deal belongs to a particular class known as shear flow. These types of flow comprise flow fields in which relative velocities have been induced by shear stresses rather than by the action of pressure forces. In pipe flow, when the fluid enters through the well-rounded bell from a reservoir or from the calm open air, a uniform velocity distribution occurs at the pipe entrance. Immediately down stream from the entrance of the pipe, the flow is structured with a …

Heat Transfer In Shock Boundary Layer Interaction Regions, Rex W. Shumway
Theses and Dissertations
The interest in aerodynamic heating problems has been increasing rapidly in the last decade. This interest is no longer concentrated on the heating of simple shapes for which adequate heat transfer theory has been developed« Because of the increasing Mach number ranges of aircraft, the need for information on the aerodynamic heating of various components has become imperative. Only when the magnitude of the problem has been exposed can the design for reducing the severity of local heating be optimized. Definition of these problems is of interest, not only because of the flow phenomena, but because of possible design limitations …
