Sensitivity analysis is well recognized as being an important aspect of the responsible use of
hydraulic models. This paper reviews a range of methods for sensitivity analysis. Two …

Measurements of two-components of velocity in the wake of a square cylinder using a hot-
wire anemometer are reported. Two Reynolds numbers, namely 8700 and 17,625, have …

An experimental investigation of flow around a square cylinder placed at various angles with
respect to the approach fluid velocity is reported. The focus of the study is toward examining …

An experimental study of flow and heat transfer downstream of a surface-mounted rib with a
slit is reported. The open area ratios of the slit rib considered are 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 …

The use of fractal grids in a low-swirl burner can significantly increase the turbulent
combustion rate, realizing a higher power density in these flames. The standard turbulence …

A novel gas channel experiment is described to study the development of high Atwood
number Rayleigh-Taylor mixing. Two gas streams, one containing air and the other …

The effect of the separation between hot wires in a crossed wire or X-probe on Reynolds
stress measurements has been studied analytically and experimentally. Wyn-gaard's (1968) …

The authors are concerned with the interpretation of the instantaneous signals from an X hot-
wire probe used for velocity component measurements. A detailed calibration study was …

Vortex shedding method for hot-wire anemometer calibration is described. In this method,
the vortex shedding frequency of the circular cylinder is measured. Then, the velocity is …

Inevitable errors in X-probe measurement are investigated in simulated Gaussian velocity
fields generated on a digital computer. Two types of X arrangement are studied: one is a …
