Effect of polymer additives on transitioning and turbulent boundary layers
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-26)Injection of small quantities of polymer solutions in various internal and external turbulent flows can produce a substantial reduction of skin friction drag. This phenomenon, known as Toms phenomenon, has been actively ... -
Near-field Vortex Dynamics of Flows Emerging from a Rectangular Duct
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-26)Shear layers and jets have motivated many researches to use experimental, theoretical and numerical methods for the better understanding of the fundamental physics and optimizing the flow characteristics that best suit ... -
Progress on the application of the NS-alpha model to wall-bounded flows
(University of Waterloo, 2008-10-09)In this thesis we study the NS-alpha model of flow turbulence. In this model the closure arises through a modified nonlinearity. For the NS-alpha model currently used in published numerical studies, the parameter representing ... -
Towards Large Eddy Simulation of Boundary Layer Flows at High Reynolds Number: Statistical Modeling of the Inner Layer
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Most fluid flows of practical interest involve and are affected by turbulence. One of the most promising computational methods for the prediction of turbulent flows is the so-called large eddy simulation (LES) methodology. ...
