Delaying the onset of boundary layer transition has become a major research area in the last few years. This delay can be achieved by either active or passive control techniques. In the present paper, the effects of flexible or compliant structures on boundary layer stability and transition is studied. The Orr-Sommerfeld equation coupled to a beam equation representing the flexible structure is solved for a Blasius type boundary layer. A parametric study consisting of the beam thickness and material properties is carried out. In addition, the effect of fluid wall shear stress on boundary layer stability is analyzed. It is found that high density and high Young modulus materials behave like rigid structures and therefore do not alter the stability characteristic of the boundary layer. Whereas low density and low Young modulus materials are found to stabilize the boundary layer. High values of fluid wall shear stress are found to destabilize the boundary layer. Our results are in good agreement with those published in the literature.

Abstract As an interim solution to the problem of the turbulent boundary layer in an adverse pressure gradient, a super-position method of analysis has been developed. In this method, the velocity profile is considered to be the result of two effects: the wall shear stress and the pressure recovery. These are superimposed, yielding an expression for the velocity profiles which approximate measured distributions. The theory also leads to a more reasonable expression for the wall shear-stress coefficient.

Wall Shear

The distributions of mass transfer rate and wall shear stress in sinusoidal laminar pulsating flow through a two-dimensional asymmetric stenosed channel have been studied experimentally and numerically. The distributions are measured by the electrochemical method. The measurement is conducted at a Reynolds number of about 150, a Schmidt number of about 1000, a nondimensional pulsating frequency of 3.40, and a nondimensional flow amplitude of 0.3. It is suggested that the deterioration of an arterial wall distal to stenosis may be greatly enhanced by fluid dynamic effects.

Near Wall

The wall shear stress (WSS) vector field provides a signature for near-wall convective transport, and can be scaled to obtain a first-order approximation of the near-wall fluid velocity. The near-wall flow field governs mass transfer problems in convection-dominated open flows with high Schmidt number, in which case a flux at the wall will lead to a thin concentration boundary layer. Such near-wall transport is of particular interest in cardiovascular flows whereby haemodynamics can initiate and progress biological events at the vessel wall. In this study we consider mass transfer processes in pulsatile blood flow of abdominal aortic aneurysms resulting from complex WSS patterns. Specifically, the Lagrangian surface transport of a species released at the vessel wall was advected in forward and backward time based on the near-wall velocity field. Exposure time and residence time measures were defined to quantify accumulation of trajectories, as well as the time required to escape the near-wall domain. The effect of diffusion and normal velocity was investigated. The trajectories induced by the WSS vector field were observed to form attracting and repelling coherent structures that delineated species distribution inside the boundary layer consistent with exposure and residence time measures. The results indicate that Lagrangian WSS structures can provide a template for near-wall transport.
