Bubbly Turbulent Drag Reduction Is a Boundary Layer Effect [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In turbulent Taylor-Couette flow, the injection of bubbles reduces the overall drag. On the other hand, rough walls enhance the overall drag. In this work, we inject bubbles into turbulent Taylor-Couette flow with rough walls (with a Reynolds number up ...

Exceeding the asymptotic limit of polymer drag reduction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The drag of turbulent flows can be drastically decreased by addition of small amounts of high molecular weight polymers. While drag reduction initially increases with polymer concentration, it eventually saturates to what is known as the maximum drag ...

Streamwise-traveling waves of spanwise wall velocity for turbulent drag reduction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Waves of spanwise velocity imposed at the walls of a plane turbulent channel flow are studied by Direct Numerical Simulations. We consider sinusoidal waves of spanwise velocity which vary in time and are modulated in space along the streamwise direction.

Spacecraft rendezvous by differential drag under uncertainties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
At low Earth orbits, differentials in the drag forces between spacecraft can be used for controlling their relative motion in the orbital plane. Current methods for determining the drag force may result in errors due to inaccuracies in the density models

The Goldsmiths Prize and Its Conceptualization of Experimental Literature [PDF]

open access: yesPolish Journal of English Studies, 2019
In the aftermath of a critical debate regarding the Man Booker Prize’s adoption of ‘readability’ as the main criterion of literary value, Goldsmiths College established a new literary prize. The Goldsmiths Prize was launched in 2013

Hydrodynamic Performance of Full-Scale T0 and T90 Codends with and without a Codend Cover

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
The hydrodynamic performance of one full-scale T0 (mesh size 90 mm) and three T90 (mesh size 90, 100, and 110 mm) codends was investigated and compared using flume tank testing, with and without a small-mesh cover.

Coulomb drag in the mesoscopic regime

open access: yes, 2001
We present a theory for Coulomb drag between two mesoscopic systems which expresses the drag in terms of scattering matrices and wave functions. The formalism can be applied to both ballistic and disordered systems and the consequences can be studied ...

Flow Visualization of Spinning and Nonspinning Soccer Balls Using Computational Fluid Dynamics

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Various studies have been conducted on the aerodynamic characteristics of nonspinning and spinning soccer balls. However, the vortex structures in the wake of the balls are almost unknown. One of the main computational fluid dynamics methods used for the
