On the structure and use of linearized block implicit schemes

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the two-level version of the second and more recent “delta” form approximate factorization scheme of Warming and Beam and the earlier method of Briley and McDonald have identical linearized block implicit structures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mixing Length and Kinematic Eddy Viscosity in a Compressible Boundary Layer

George Maise, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1968 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of Mach number on mixing lengths and kinematic eddy viscosities in the turbulent, flat-plate boundary layer has been evaluated using the generalized velocities suggested by Van Driest, using measured boundary-layer profiles, for a range of Reynolds numbers and Mach numbers from 0 to 5, on a single curve.

Multi-frequency jet ventilation technique and apparatus

TL;DR: In this article, inhaled gas pulses are generated by entraining humidified low pressure gas with pulses of high pressure entrainment gas, of variable frequency, duration and duty cycle, and are produced by modulating the flow of a highly pressured gas with a solenoid operated valve.
Journal ArticleDOI

Navier-Stokes analysis of solid propellant rocket motor internal flows

TL;DR: A multidimensional implicit Navier-Stokes analysis that uses numerical solution of the ensemble-averaged Navier Stokes equations in a nonorthogonal, body-fitted, cylindrical coordinate system has been applied to the simulation of the steady mean flow in solid propellant rocket motor chambers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Practical calculations of transitional boundary layers

TL;DR: In this article, a general finite difference procedure for computing the behavior of compressible two-dimensional boundary layers is presented together with a turbulence model which allows quantitative predictions of the location and extent of the transition region between laminar and turbulent flow as it is influenced by such disturbances as surface roughness and free-stream turbulence.
