A body of revolution spinning in a fluid drives an inherently three-dimensional boundary layer, in which a centrifugally driven secondary circulation lifts the layer off the surface and a centrifugal […]
Turbulence remains one of the outstanding problems of classical physics, and one that has challenged physicists and engineers alike for decades, even centuries. The fusion of classical approaches and tools […]
Hypersonic flight represents a major frontier in aerospace engineering, with its realization requiring a fundamental understanding of coupled chemical and fluid dynamic processes across multiple environments. Of particular importance are […]
Magneto-active solids couple their mechanical response to externally applied magnetic fields, providing a promising route toward remotely tunable materials and structures. Such functionality is particularly attractive for aerospace applications involving […]
Hydrogen is coming to the forefront as a potential energy carrier to achieve decarbonisation goals and objectives. It is well known that hydrogen is a light molecule diffusing quicker than […]
Plane turbulent wall jets, formed when a high-speed jet flows along a solid surface, are traditionally considered to consist of a turbulent boundary layer (TBL) near the wall and a […]
The modulated Taylor-Couette flow takes place in the annular gap between two concentric cylinders, assumed of infinite extent in the axial direction. Inner and outer cylinders rotate about their common […]
