The transition characteristics and the boundary layer development behind an isolated spherical roughness element were investigated in an open-circuit, suction-type wind tunnel. The experiments were performed upon a smooth aluminiuim flat plate placed in the test section of the tunnel. The desired pressure gradient was obtained by means a false roof placed in the test section. In this article, emphasis is given to the recovery length of the turbulent boundary layer behind an isolated spherical roughness element under zero, favorable, and adverse pressure gradienst. The recovery length of the turbulent boundary layer is correlated with the critical roughness Reynolds number REkce and Rekcs.

High Speed Couette—Poiseuille Flow Stability in Reverse Flow Conditions Ebrinç, Ali Aslan; Özgen, Serkan; Dursunkaya, Zafer (2006-08-21) The linear stability of reverse high speed-viscous plane Couette – Poiseuille flow is investigated numerically. The conservation equations along with Sutherland’s viscosity law are studied using a second order finite difference scheme. Basic velocity and temperature distributions are perturbed by a small amplitude normal-mode disturbance. Small amplitude disturbance equations are solved numerically using a global method to find all the eigenvalues at finite Reynolds numbers. The results indicate that instab...
Wall functions for boundary roughness prediction in uniform channel flows Aydın, İsmail (null; 2017-08-18) Boundary roughness is an important hydraulic parameter in describing dynamics of free surface flows. There is no direct method to estimate the possible boundary resistance in natural environment. Available empirical formulations are based on the particle
Two-fluid boundary layer stability Özgen, Serkan; Sarma, GSR (1998-11-01) The stability of a two-fluid boundary layer is investigated. A boundary layer shears a second fluid that is bounded by the wall and the shearing fluid. The eigenvalue problem governing the linear stability of the configuration is solved using an efficient shooting-search method. Besides the Tollmien-Schlichting mode (hard mode) found in the classical hydrodynamical stability theory an additional Yih-mode (interfacial mode) exists due to the two-fluid interface. Effects of viscosity and density stratificatio...
Analysis and Control of Complex Flows in U-Bends using Computational Fluid Dynamics Guden, Yigitcan; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (2014-08-07) Analysis and control of flow structure in U-bends are crucial since U-bends are used in many different engineering applications. As a flow parameter in U-bends, the ratio of inertial and centrifugal forces to viscous forces is called as Dean number. The increase of Dean number destabilizes the flow and leads to a three-dimensional flow consisting of stream wise parallel counter-rotating vortices (Dean vortices) stacked along the curved wall. Due to the curvature in U-bends, the flow development involves com...
Measurement of the elliptic anisotropy of charged particles produced in PbPb collisions at root s(NN)=2.76 TeV Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (2013-01-01) The anisotropy of the azimuthal distributions of charged particles produced in root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV PbPb collisions is studied with the CMS experiment at the LHC. The elliptic anisotropy parameter, upsilon(2), defined as the second coefficient in a Fourier expansion of the particle invariant yields, is extracted using the event-plane method, two- and four-particle cumulants, and Lee-Yang zeros. The anisotropy is presented as a function of transverse momentum (p(T)), pseudorapidity (eta) over a broad kinema...
