Studies of the Wall Shear Stress in a Turbulent Pulsating Pipe Flow
… are presented of the time variation of the wall shear stress caused by the imposition of a sinusoidal oscillation on a turbulent pipe flow. The amplitude of the oscillation is small enough that a linear response is obtained and the dimensionless frequency, (omega)('+), is large compared to …

Amplitude modulation of velocity and wall shear stress in turbulent channel flow with hemispherical roughness
"Near-wall turbulence cycles tend to be self-sustained in low Reynolds number wall-bounded turbulent flows. However, large-scale structures that reside in the outer region of the flow grow more energetic as Reynolds number increases and impart strong ""footprints"" on the near-wall turbulence. In …

A Computational Fluid Dynamics based model that predicts wall shear stress in CANDU outlet feeder pipes
Wall thinning of carbon steel in CANDU reactor outlet feeder pipes due to Flow Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) is identified as one of the challenges for CANDU reactors since it would force them to shut down due to safety reasons. Several models have been developed over time to predict the corrosion …
