11.1 Articles in Refereed Journals and Books

11.1.1 pending/unpublished

  1. Van Dommelen, L. (1996) Note on inviscid singularities and turbulence. Submitted to the Journal of Fluid Mechanics. (Proposes a possible mechanics for turbulence in the inertial range. I do not like the paper and I am no longer working on it.)

  2. Van Dommelen, L. L. & Shankar S. (1996) Aerodynamic forces are not affected by initial separation. Submitted to the Physics of Fluids. (Discovery of a new expression for aerodynamic forces and its application to initial separation. Needs to be resubmitted to a journal whose referees still see the value of theoretical work. Some day when I have nothing to do.) Zipped postscript (67k).

  3. Van Dommelen, L (2001) Boundary layer recirculation. Patent pre-application. Withdrawn.

  4. Van Dommelen, L. (2003) Physical Interpretation of the Virial Stress. Submitted to the Proc. Roy. Soc. Londen A. Click here. (This was the first paper to expose a crackpot theory on virial stress developed at Georgia tech. It was probably not a good idea to sent it to the same journal that published the crackpot theory. The same incompetent referees may have been assigned; furthermore, the editor got personal. In any case, I am no longer trying to enter the molecular dynamics field, and the same conclusions have by now been published by others. See for example Subramaniyan, A.K., and Sun, C.T., (2008) ``Continuum interpretation of virial stress in molecular simulation, International Journal of Solids and Structures, 45, 4340-4346. There may also be a paper by M. Ravi & P. Sharma. I was also told there is a reference to my paper on Wikipedia.)

  5. Van Dommelen, L. (2008) Manipulation of separation by three-dimensional wall transpiration. Rejected by Journal of Fluid Mechanics. (Demonstrates that transverse blowing can prevent separation, but only if it is on short spanwise scales. Nothing wrong with the paper except maybe a bit too informal and expansive writing style. Rewritten, and now includes computations that show the removal of separation directly. Rejected again by JFM. Accepted by the European Jounrnal of Mechanics, see published.
