The stars of the "Jaws" films--sharks--have recently become the subject of a new engineering research project. The project explores energy conservation and boundary layer control in regard to a ...

I had a customer who was thermal printing strip steel. The steel is washed with solvents and blown dry. He was having a problem: When the strip's speed increased, the thermo printer would catch fire.

Shock wave and turbulent boundary layer interactions are phenomena encountered in high-speed flows, where abrupt pressure changes associated with shock waves impinge upon the viscous layer of fluid ...

A typical challenge for re-entry vehicles during flight is an effective control of hypersonic transition and the laminar/turbulent state of the boundary layer. The state of the boundary layer is of ...

The control of small structures and fast modes needs not only more accurate values in the commonly used dimensions (, u, T, P), but also, in fact more essentially, the controls from more dimensions.
