Effects of wall compliance on the laminar–turbulent transition of torsional Couette flow [PDF]
Torsional Couette flow between a rotating disk and a stationary wall is studied experimentally. The surface of the disk is either rigid or covered with a compliant coating.

Mean flow of turbulent–laminar patterns in plane Couette flow [PDF]
A turbulent–laminar banded pattern in plane Couette flow is studied numerically. This pattern is statistically steady, is oriented obliquely to the streamwise direction, and has a very large wavelength relative to the gap. The mean flow, averaged in time

Numerical simulation of bubble dispersion in turbulent Taylor-Couette flow [PDF]
We investigate bubble dispersion in turbulent Taylor-Couette flow. The aim of this study is to describe the main mechanisms yielding preferential bubble accumulation in near-wall structures of the flow.

Couette–poiseuille flow in semi-elliptic channels
We present a novel analytical solution for Couette flows of incompressible Newtonian fluids in channels with a semi-elliptical cross section. The flow is steady, unidirectional, satisfies the no-slip condition at the boundaries, and is driven by the ...

Micro-volume couette flow sample orientation for absorbance and fluorescence linear dichroism [PDF]
Linear dichroism (LD) can be used to study the alignment of absorbing chromophores within long molecules. In particular, Couette flow LD has been used to good effect in probing ligand binding to DNA and to fibrous proteins.

Experimental and numerical investigation on mixing and axial dispersion in Taylor-Couette flow patterns [PDF]
Taylor-Couette flows between two concentric cylinders have great potential applications in chemical engineering. They are particularly convenient for two-phase small scale devices enabling solvent extraction operations.

Improving the Validity of Squeeze Film Air‐Damping Model of MEMS Devices with Border Effect
Evaluation of squeezed film air damping is critical in the design and control of dynamic MEMS devices. The published squeezed film air damping models are generally derived from the analytical solutions of Reynolds equation or its other modified forms under the supposition of trivial pressure boundary conditions on the peripheral borders.
