Characterization of the Pressure Fluctuations Under a Fully Developed Turbulent Boundary Layer
TL;DR: In this paper, a new noise cancellation scheme based on an optimal filtering technique was proposed to capture the noise-canceled time series, and a number of pinholes were utilized along with high-sensitivity micropbones to obtain measurements of the wall pressure at a resolution down to d + = du τ /v ≅2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extraction of turbulent wall-pressure time-series using an optimal filtering scheme
TL;DR: In this article, an optimal filtering approach is proposed for low to moderate Reynolds number measurements, where the noise signature overwhelms the low-level turbulent fluctuations and the energy of the lowfrequency turbulent motion lost due to the application of the noise-cancellation scheme is an order of magnitude smaller in the case of the optimal filter as compared to the subtraction scheme.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Can We Ever Rely on Results from Wall-Bounded Turbulent Flows without Direct Measurements of Wall Shear Stress?

TL;DR: In this article, three techniques for measuring skin friction in two-dimensional turbulent wall-bounded shear flows are presented: oil-film interferometry, hot wires mounted near the wall, and surface hot-film sensors based on MEMS technology.

Method, system and apparatus for liquid injection into a gas system
TL;DR: In this article, a method for injection of liquid reductant into an exhaust gas evaporating and decomposing the liquid reducant at elevated temperature is presented. But the method is not suitable for the case where the exhaust gas has an elevated temperature compared to ambient.

TL;DR: In this article, a control system for engine braking for a vehicle powered by a turbocharged engine uses a supercharger to assist a turbocharger compressor to boost turbo-charger air flow into the engine cylinders.
