  2. Hermann Schlichting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Schlichting

    Hermann Schlichting studied from 1926 till 1930 mathematics, physics and applied mechanics at the University of Jena, Vienne and Göttingen.In 1930 he wrote his PhD in Göttingen titled Über das ebene Windschattenproblem and also in the same year passed the state examination as teacher for higher mathematics and physics.

  3. Boundary layer control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_layer_control

    Turbulent boundary layers are more resistant to separation. The energy in a boundary layer may need to be increased to keep it attached to its surface. Fresh air can be introduced through slots or mixed in from above. The low momentum layer at the surface can be sucked away through a perforated surface or bled away when it is in a high pressure ...

  4. Mangler Transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangler_Transformation

    The transformation transforms the equations of axisymmetric boundary layer with external velocity in terms of original variables,,, into the equations of plane boundary layer with external velocity ¯ in terms of the new variables ¯, ¯, ¯, ¯. The transformation is given by the formulas

  5. Boundary layer thickness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_layer_thickness

    The boundary layer thickness, , is the distance normal to the wall to a point where the flow velocity has essentially reached the 'asymptotic' velocity, .Prior to the development of the Moment Method, the lack of an obvious method of defining the boundary layer thickness led much of the flow community in the later half of the 1900s to adopt the location , denoted as and given by

  6. Law of the wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_the_wall

    law of the wall, horizontal velocity near the wall with mixing length model. In fluid dynamics, the law of the wall (also known as the logarithmic law of the wall) states that the average velocity of a turbulent flow at a certain point is proportional to the logarithm of the distance from that point to the "wall", or the boundary of the fluid region.

  7. Tollmien–Schlichting wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tollmien–Schlichting_wave

    A shear layer develops viscous instability and forms Tollmien–Schlichting waves which grow, while still laminar, into finite amplitude (1 to 2 percent of the freestream velocity) three-dimensional fluctuations in velocity and pressure to develop three-dimensional unstable waves and hairpin eddies. From then on, the process is more a breakdown ...

  8. Flow separation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_separation

    In fluid dynamics, flow separation or boundary layer separation is the detachment of a boundary layer from a surface into a wake. [1] A boundary layer exists whenever there is relative movement between a fluid and a solid surface with viscous forces present in the layer of fluid close to the surface. The flow can be externally, around a body ...

  9. Schlichting jet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlichting_jet

    Schlichting jet is a steady, laminar, round jet, emerging into a stationary fluid of the same kind with very high Reynolds number. The problem was formulated and solved by Hermann Schlichting in 1933, [ 1 ] who also formulated the corresponding planar Bickley jet problem in the same paper. [ 2 ]
