Experimental and Numerical Study on the Flow Characteristics of Synthetic Jets
Over the last decade, several studies have investigated synthetic jets. However, there are still many clarifications needed, including details of the structure and Coanda effect of synthetic jets.

On the use of the Stokes number to explain frictional tidal dynamics and water column structure in shelf seas [PDF]
In recent years coastal oceanographers have suggested using the "Strouhal" number or its inverse, the "Stokes" number, to describe the effect of bottom boundary layer turbulence on the vertical structure of both density and currents. These are defined as

Stokes flow in lid-driven cavity under inclined magnetic field
Stokes flow in a lid-driven cavity under the effect of an inclined magnetic field is studied. The radial basis function (RBF) approximation is employed to the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations which include Navier–Stokes equations of fluid dynamics and

Enhancement of heat transfer in a synthetic jet actuated by piston cylinder
Modern electronics demand more powerful cooling systems due to an increase in heat dissipation. The traditional cooling techniques reached their limit and the synthetic jet impingement arises as a promising method for cooling of modern electronic systems.

Influences of Turbulence Characteristic on the Dispersion Behavior of Droplets in the Spray Flame
The authors investigated the effect of the turbulence of an air current on droplet dispersion in a spray flame. Wire meshes of different mesh sizes were inserted behind a two-fluid type nozzle each time to vary the air current turbulence characteristics,

Observation of aerosol particle capturing behavior near gas-liquid interface
An aerosol particle capturing by a gas-liquid interface has been applied in many industries. One example of this is the radioactive aerosol removal system in the safety system of the nuclear reactor such as filtered venting system.

A nonperturbative approximation for the moderate Reynolds number Navier–Stokes equations [PDF]
The nonlinearity of the Navier–Stokes equations makes predicting the flow of fluid around rapidly moving small bodies highly resistant to all approaches save careful experiments or brute force computation. Here, we show how a linearization of the Navier–Stokes equations captures the drag-determining features of the flow and allows simplified or ...

Identification of a particle collision as a finite-time blowup in turbulence
We propose an Eulerian approach to investigate the motion of particles in turbulence under the assumption that the motion of particles remains smooth in space and time until a collision between particles occurs. When the first collision happens, particle

Visualization of synthetic jets at higher Stokes numbers [PDF]
Visualization of synthetic jets at higher Stokes numbers (S = 90 and 127) by the phase-locked smoke-wire technique is presented and discussed. The working fluid is air. The Reynolds numbers are quantified using hot-wire anemometry. Although our method of visualization essentially provides only qualitative results, the present study also demonstrates ...
