turbulent boundary flow
1Boundary layer — For the anatomical structure, see Boundary layer of uterus. Boundary layer visualization, showing transition from laminar to turbulent condition In physics and fluid mechanics, a boundary layer is that layer of fluid in the immediate vicinity of… …
2Boundary-layer thickness — This page describes some parameters used to measure the properties of boundary layers. Consider a stationary body with a turbulent flow moving around it, like the semi infinite flat plate with air flowing over the top of the plate. At the solid… …
3Turbulent Prandtl number — The turbulent Prandtl number (Pr t) is a non dimensional term defined as the ratio between the momentum eddy diffusivity and the heat transfer eddy diffusivity. It is useful for solving the heat transfer problem of turbulent boundary layer flows …
4boundary layer — Physics. the portion of a fluid flowing past a body that is in the immediate vicinity of the body and that has a reduced flow due to the forces of adhesion and viscosity. [1920 25] * * * In fluid mechanics, a thin layer of flowing gas or liquid… …
5Flow separation — All solid objects travelling through a fluid (or alternatively a stationary object exposed to a moving fluid) acquire a boundary layer of fluid around them where viscous forces occur in the layer of fluid close to the solid surface. Boundary… …
6Boundary layer transition — The process of a laminar boundary layer becoming turbulent is known as boundary layer transition. This process is an extraordinarily complicated process which at present is not fully understood. However, as the result of many decades of intensive …
7Turbulent Kinetic Energy — Turbulence Kinetic Energy (TKE) is the mean kinetic energy per unit mass associated with eddies in turbulent flow. It is a concept used to assess what contribution to buoyancy is brought by turbulence.The production of TKE equals the sum of… …
8Laminar flow — Laminar flow, sometimes known as streamline flow, occurs when a fluid flows in parallel layers, with no disruption between the layers. In fluid dynamics, laminar flow is a flow regime characterized by high momentum diffusion, low momentum… …
9Stokes boundary layer — in a viscous fluid due to the harmonic oscillation of a plane rigid plate. Velocity (blue line) and particle excursion (red dots) as a function of the distance to the wall. In fluid dynamics, the Stokes boundary layer, or oscillatory boundary… …
10Planetary boundary layer — Depiction of where the planetary boundary layer lies on a sunny day The planetary boundary layer (PBL), also known as the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), is the lowest part of the atmosphere and its behavior is directly influenced by its… …
