Equations for the response of an airplane to non-stationary atmospheric turbulence patches

In this report a method is described to calculate the load exceedance curve for a linear system having a finite, modulated Gaussian process as input. The derivation is based on the use of ensemble averages, defined as the expected values at a certain point of time. The equations can be used for any airplane-transfer function for which the Power...

Gedaechtniseffekte in der Turbulenz

NOTE: REPORT IN GERMAN, ONLY THE ABSTRACT IS IN ENGLISH Memory effects in the flow of fluids are known long since. One has to reckon with such effects when studying the flow of non-Newtonian fluids, for instance when they exhibit a visco-elastic behaviour. Certain phenomena in turbulence also seem to point towards a visco-elastic behaviour. If,...

A model of turbulent diffusion

Mathematical description of turbulent diffusion with constant mean velocity gradient.

Computational Modeling of Turbulent Transport

A rational closure technique is presented for the first and second moment-equations in a stratified, contaminated turbulent flow, Following the application of high Reynolds/Peclet number approximations, remaining third moments are expanded about the isotropic, homogeneous state. The stratified, uncontaminated case reduces to seventeen equations...

Memory Effect in a Turbulent Boundary-Layer Flow Due to a Relatively Strong Axial Variation of the Mean-Velocity Gradient

Measurements have been made of the distributions of mean velocity, turbulence intensities and turbulence shear-stress in a turbulent boundary-layer downstream of a hemi-spherical cap attached onto the plane rigid wall. The eddy-viscosity, when computed in the classical way according to Boussinesq's concept from the lateral gradient of the mean...

Contribution à la transition dans la couche limite

A l'aide de la méthode du ruban vibrant de Schubauer et Klebanoff. on a étudié expérimentalement l'évolution tridimensionnelle d'une perturbation sinusoïdale locale introduite dans une couche limite laminaire. Les distributions de la vitesse moyenne et de l'intensité de la composante axiale de la turbulence, de même que le spectre d'énergie de...

Measurement of the Reynolds Stresses in a Circular Pipe as a Means of Testing a DISA Constant-Temperature Hot-Wire Anemometer

Measurements of the turbulent stresses in fully-developed pipe flow have been made as an overall test of the DISA constant-temperature hot-wire anemometer. The measurements were made with single slanting wires and a normal wire. The shearing stress was measured at two Reynolds numbers and compared with values computed from the pressure drop down...
