    Abstract: An explanation of the mechanism for the difference in angle for separation and reattachment during stall on airfoils via potential flow and stall-prediction theories is proposed as follows: the reattachment angle of any given airfoil is the stall angle of the effective body which encompasses the physical body and its trailing viscous wake. Airfoil ... Show More

    Abstract: The Eyring-Powell liquid is a type of non-Newtonian fluid. The complex flow behavior makes it useful in a variety of industrial and engineering applications such as drug manufacturing, paint and in armor construction. Blood, starch, nail polish and honey are such examples. The viscosity of these fluid changes with the rate at which the fluid shears... Show More
