  2. Spin (aerodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_(aerodynamics)

    Spin testing is a potentially hazardous exercise, and the test aircraft must be equipped with some spin-recovery device such as a tail parachute, jettisonable ballast, or some method of rapidly moving the center of gravity forward. Agricultural airplanes are typically certificated in the normal category at a moderate weight.

  3. Stall (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stall_(fluid_dynamics)

    The only dangerous aspect of a stall is a lack of altitude for recovery. Incipient spin & recovery. A special form of asymmetric stall in which the aircraft also rotates about its yaw axis is called a spin. A spin can occur if an aircraft is stalled and there is an asymmetric yawing moment applied to it. [17]

  4. Boundary conditions in fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_conditions_in...

    Showing wall boundary condition. The most common boundary that comes upon in confined fluid flow problems is the wall of the conduit. The appropriate requirement is called the no-slip boundary condition, wherein the normal component of velocity is fixed at zero, and the tangential component is set equal to the velocity of the wall. [1]

  5. Eddy (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_(fluid_dynamics)

    Reynolds Experiment (1883). Osborne Reynolds standing beside his apparatus. In 1883, scientist Osborne Reynolds conducted a fluid dynamics experiment involving water and dye, where he adjusted the velocities of the fluids and observed the transition from laminar to turbulent flow, characterized by the formation of eddies and vortices. [5]

  6. Stokes problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_problem

    To good approximation, the flow velocity oscillations are irrotational outside the boundary layer, and potential flow theory can be applied to the oscillatory part of the motion. This significantly simplifies the solution of these flow problems, and is often applied in the irrotational flow regions of sound waves and water waves .

  7. Potential flow around a circular cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_flow_around_a...

    The problem of potential compressible flow over circular cylinder was first studied by O. Janzen in 1913 [4] and by Lord Rayleigh in 1916 [5] with small compressibility effects. Here, the small parameter is the square of the Mach number M 2 = U 2 / c 2 ≪ 1 {\displaystyle \mathrm {M} ^{2}=U^{2}/c^{2}\ll 1} , where c is the speed of sound .

  8. Rayleigh problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_problem

    In fluid dynamics, Rayleigh problem also known as Stokes first problem is a problem of determining the flow created by a sudden movement of an infinitely long plate from rest, named after Lord Rayleigh and Sir George Stokes. This is considered as one of the simplest unsteady problems that have an exact solution for the Navier-Stokes equations.

  9. Falkner–Skan boundary layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falkner–Skan_boundary_layer

    The basis of the Falkner-Skan approach are the Prandtl boundary layer equations. Ludwig Prandtl [2] simplified the equations for fluid flowing along a wall (wedge) by dividing the flow into two areas: one close to the wall dominated by viscosity, and one outside this near-wall boundary layer region where viscosity can be neglected without significant effects on the solution.
