Progress is described on a model of the turbulent axisymmetric base flow behind bluff-base bodies. The purpose of the model is to provide an analytical basis for incorporation of external burning and base injection effects upon the base flow. An integral technique is used for solution of the problem. At the current time , however , extreme difficulties are being encountered in the choi ce of field variable profiles to insert in the integral technique. Several choices of profiles and governing moment equations are yiel ding a singulari ty before the rear stagnation point is reached in a downstream, integration of the equation .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
