The three-dimensional separation in a decelerating channel flow generated by the suction through a porous side wall had been investigated experimentally. Unsteady characteristics of two corner separations were especially focused on. The profiles of time averaged static pressure are two-dimensional in the height direction even in the case with large regions of corner separation. The contour of the turbulence level of the mainstream velocity shows two peak values which correspond to two corner separations. The value of cross-correlation gets large negative values without any lag and the value of coherence gets peak value at around 0.5–2 Hz. The corner separations near the top wall and near the bottom wall are not independent and keep coherent structure both with negative value of cross correlation function and with the frequency of around 0.5–2 Hz.

A variational formulation is presented for a class of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) channel flow problems. This formulation yields solutions for the fluid velocity and the induced electric potential in a channel with a uniform transverse static magnetic field. The channel cross-section is constant but arbitrary, and the channel walls can be either insulators or conductors with finite electrical conductivity. Electric currents are permitted to enter and leave the channel walls so that the solutions are suitable for MHD generator and pump applications. An example of a square channel with conducting walls is solved as an illustration.

This investigation reports the combined effect of synthetic jet and a surface-mounted rib on heat transfer in a square cross-section channel flow. The rib height to hydraulic diameter ratio is equal to 0.1625. The Reynolds number of the channel has been set equal to 5500. The synthetic jet actuator has been operated at different actuation voltages with different amplitude modulation frequencies. At actuation voltage of 55 V, the maximum overall heat transfer is enhanced by 132.6% compared with smooth duct flow.

Abstract Potential use of Janus spheres in novel engineering applications is being explored actively in recent years. Hydrodynamics around Janus spheres is different from that around homogeneous sticky or slippery spheres. Instantaneous motion of a sphere in channel flow is governed by hydrodynamic force experienced by the sphere, which in turn depends on the particle to channel size ratio, its instantaneous position, hydrophobicity of its surface and the particle Reynolds number. We investigate numerically the drag experienced by a Janus sphere located at different off-centre positions in a square channel. Two orientations of Janus sphere consisting of a sticky and a slippery hemisphere with the boundary between them parallel to the channel mid-plane are studied: (1) slippery hemisphere facing the channel centreline and (2) sticky hemisphere facing the channel centreline. The flow field around Janus sphere is found to be steady (for Re ≤ 50 investigated in this work) and asymmetric. Based on the data obtained, a correlation for drag coefficient as a function of particle Reynolds number and dimensionless particle position is also proposed.
