A typical challenge for re-entry vehicles during flight is an effective control of hypersonic transition and the laminar/turbulent state of the boundary layer. The state of the boundary layer is of ...

Shock wave and turbulent boundary layer interactions are phenomena encountered in high-speed flows, where abrupt pressure changes associated with shock waves impinge upon the viscous layer of fluid ...

The stars of the "Jaws" films--sharks--have recently become the subject of a new engineering research project. The project explores energy conservation and boundary layer control in regard to a ...

Plasma technology based on Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) has been widely demonstrated to be a novel active flow control method. In order to make the plasma flow control technology more practical, ...

In order to determine the best way to simulate a road in the full-scale climatic wind tunnel of the Voklswagenwerk AG, a series of comparative tests between road and tunnel have been carried out. In ...

I had a customer who was thermal printing strip steel. The steel is washed with solvents and blown dry. He was having a problem: When the strip's speed increased, the thermo printer would catch fire.

Newly released photos of the B-21 Raider reveal its close design lineage to the YF-23 "Grey Ghost," showcasing features like recessed engine intakes, boundary layer control, and advanced stealth ...

To operate from smaller French carriers, the F-8 Crusader required extensive modifications including boundary layer control ...

Turbulence makes many people uneasy or downright queasy. And it's given researchers a headache, too. Mathematicians have been trying for a century or more to understand the turbulence that arises when ...
