In an experiment on how turbulent boundary layers respond to acceleration in the flow around them, aerospace engineers at the observed an unexpected internal boundary layer. In an experiment on how ...

Turbulent Flow and Boundary Layer Theory: Selected Topics and Solved Problems explains fundamental concepts of turbulent flow with boundary layer analysis. A general introduction to turbulent flow ...

This paper considers the stability of the one-dimensional boundary layer generated by sudden heating of an infinite vertical wall. A quasi-steady approximation is used to obtain the asymptotic form of ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Sediment transport in oscillatory boundary layers is a process that drives coastal geomorphological change. Most formulae for bed-load ...

Physicists have shown how liquids on solid surfaces can be made to slide over the surface a bit like a bobsleigh on ice. The key is to apply a coating at the boundary between the liquid and the ...

A mysterious layer lies beneath Earth's massive tectonic plates. Sandwiched between two rock layers — the rigid lithosphere and the more pliable asthenosphere— this thin boundary is like the jelly in ...

During Earth’s formation (about 4.5 billion years ago), giant impacts of mars-sized bodies onto the early Earth caused large melt layers (magma oceans) on Earth. Some of these have reached several ...
