Flow can be either steady or unsteady. In his lecture notes, "Lectures in Elementary Fluid Dynamics" (University of Kentucky, 2009) J. M. McDonough, ...

Abstract: Wings experiencing large flow disturbances often experience massive flow separation resulting in shear layers and the formation of strong vortices. These vortices typically lead to large ...

My research group, the Experimental Aerodynamics Laboratory (xAero Lab), focuses generally in the areas of unsteady aerodynamics and flow control applied to aerospace vehicles and wind energy systems, ...

In unsteady flow, streamlines, pathlines and streaklines are all different, but in steady flow, streamlines, pathlines and streaklines are identical. Streamtubes Imagine a set of streamlines starting ...

Unsteady aerodynamics plays a critical role in aerospace engineering, exploring the intricate dynamic nature of the aerodynamic forces and moments generated as flexible aircraft or rotorcraft move ...

Continuity Equation When a fluid is in motion, it must move in such a way that mass is conserved. To see how mass conservation places restrictions on the velocity field, consider the steady flow of ...

This intense interaction between fan-induced distorted flow and rotating blades leads to fan haystacking, where the unsteady flow is repeatedly sliced by the rotating blades by a large portion of ...

A method of water injection to flow field using distributed holes on the suction surface of hydrofoil is presented in this article to control cavitation flow. Modified renormalization group 𝑘–𝜀 ...
