Supersonic Corner Flows in Rectangular Channels
… geometries are widely encountered in supersonic flows, such as in wind tunnels and in aircraft inlets. Shock-boundary-layer interactions in these flows are known to exhibit significant three-dimensionality, due to the presence of sidewalls and associated corner boundary layers. The main effect is …

Large -eddy simulation of a three-dimensional compressible tornado vortex
… LES model, three different patterns of tornadic corner flows cataloged by local swirl ratio are simulated under quasisteady conditions for different Mach numbers. Simulation comparisons have demonstrated that the compressibility effects are different for different corner flow structures. At peak …

Stokes flows near boundaries: bacteria, corners, and pumps
We investigate flows generated by bacteria near boundaries which are ubiquitous in biological systems. A bacterium such as \textit{Escherichia coli} is equipped with a number of rotary motors on its surface. Every motor has a helical flagellum attached to it and by rotating these motors the …

The development and stability of some non-planar boundary-layer flows.
… they also share the following features: a square corner; a wall boundary layer; and a semi-infinite physical domain. Part 1 of this thesis, comprising Chapters 2–5, considers the laminar flow parallel to a streamwise corner. In Chapter 2 we present an in-depth study of the laminar flow internal to …

An experimental investigation of flow control for supersonic inlets
… flow was relatively benign and, apart from small corner separations, the majority of the boundary layers remained attached; but as the shock was moved close to the diffuser, separation was introduced on the channel floor; and once inside the diffuser the entire diffuser boundary layer was …

Sidewall effects in compression corner shock-wave/boundary-layer interactions
Streamwise corners are a common three-dimensional geometric feature encountered in supersonic flows, appearing in wing-body junctions, in rectangular cross sectioned inlets and research wind tunnels. When a shock wave boundary layer interaction (SBLI) occurs in a rectangular cross sectioned duct, …
