There are numerous examples of dispersed turbulent two-phase flows in engineering and environmental processes. In particular, dispersed solid-liquid flows, also known as slurry flows, have many industrial applications such as transportation of coal, ore, and oil sands. Slurry transportation...

Superhydrophobic surfaces are proven to be capable of reducing the skin friction in laminar and turbulent flows. These surfaces consist of micro/nano-scale hydrophobic roughness features which make the surface render a non-wetting property due to the entrainment of air pockets between the solid...

The processes responsible for generating the mean azimuthal atmospheric winds observed on Jupiter and Saturn, which feature large prograde equatorial jets and jets of alternating direction at higher latitudes, have yet to be conclusively resolved. Results from three dimensional numerical models...

The current work presents the results of an experimental study on the effects of submergence on the performance of a submerged hydraulic jump with baffle blocks downstream of a sluice gate. A wide range of Froude numbers, submergence factors, and block sizes, locations and arrangements were...

Experiments investigating momentum transfer, turbulence and air-water gas transfer in a wind wave tank
DownloadSpring 2011
A series of laboratory experiments were conducted at three fetches of 4.8, 8.8 and 12.4 m, and at six wind speeds ranging from 4.1 to 9.6 m/s at each fetch in a wind-wave-current research facility. In addition, five surfactant-influenced experiments were conducted at concentrations ranging from...

Turbulence is a chaotic motion of fluid that can be described by the Navier--Stokes equations or even highly simplified shell models. Under the continuum limit, standard shell models of turbulence are shown to reduce to a common evolution equation that reproduces many predictions of the...

We report upon an experimental study of internal gravity waves generated by the large-amplitude vertical oscillations of a circular cylinder in uniformly stratified fluid. Quantitative measurements are performed using a modified synthetic schlieren technique for strongly stratified solutions of...

Internal gravity waves transport energy and momentum in both the atmosphere and the ocean. This physical process occurs at such small length scales that it is not captured by coarse resolution numerical models of weather and climate. A series of experiments is presented that model the generation...
