Nearest Wall Flows – the Genuine Turbulence
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Traditionally, the wall-bounded flows are boundary-layer like flows where the velocity gradients normal to the wall u/y are very large and the velocity monotonously increases from zero to about the velocity free flow, Ue = 0.99 U. However, the instabilities of flow, resulting from the reaction of the solid boundary against onset of flow, originate in the nearest-wall region where the mean velocity varies around of the velocity Ub = 1m/s constituting the wavy microflow field dominated by the boundary vorticity-viscosity mutual changes. The paper is aiming at presenting the main features of the microflow field and a new vision of the turbulence phenomenon illustrated trough canonical boundary-layer flows.

Strain resolving method of composite plane plates
The paper deals with the extension of isotropic plates problem to the case of composite plates. In order to perform it, the Kirchhoff-Love hypotheses were "softened” by some additional ones. Considering the constitutive...
SCALED RADIO CONTROLLED PLATFORM
The paper presents building, preparing and testing of a scaled RC aerial platform, as a basis for future flight measurements. The platform is a 1:6 scaled radio controlled model of AEROTAXI design in development. A numbe...
On the design of squeeze film dampers operating within the limits of the Reynolds theory
Squeeze film dampers (SFD) are used to control the shaft dynamics in rotating machinery; SFD are essentially thin oil films installed around the ball bearing housing (or even ball bearings outer races) to lower the stiff...
An impact study of a capsule with a rigid wall using the SPH approach
Impact problems have always been of interest in the Aerospace industry because events such as “bird-strikes” occur quite often and necessary studies must be performed to observe the behavior of structures during the impa...
The procedure for determining the local and global flow characteristics of spool valve SMHR 22.59.010 in order to be fitted to the assembly SMHR S.22.59.000
This procedure was designed within the Hydraulic Laboratory of INCREST-INCAS, in the '80s, to provide a unique way of checking and qualification of local and global flow characteristics of the spool valve SMHR S.22.59.01...
