Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Fluid flow in a pipe is one of the oldest problems of engineering, and the salient feature of it that flows that are laminar at low Reynolds numbers (speeds) become turbulent at higher Reynolds numbers, with a large increase in drag. Nevertheless, fundamental understanding of the process by which laminar flows become turbulent remains incomplete. The two investigators are a numerical analysts and an experimentalist with longstanding interests in this area who have not worked together previously, and in fact, have made contradictory claims about transition process.In a new collaboration involving both numerical and experimental work, we aim to start by advancing numerical methods in this area and resolving these contradictory claims, and then to move on to further detailed study of transitional flow in pipes.
