Wake

In fluid dynamics, a wake may either be:

  • the region of recirculating flow immediately behind a moving or stationary blunt body, caused by viscosity, which may be accompanied by flow separation and turbulence, or
  • the wave pattern on the water surface downstream of an object in a flow, or produced by a moving object (e.g. a ship), caused by density differences of the fluids above and below the free surface and gravity (or surface tension),

    • or both.

    Wake effects caused by viscosity

    The wake is the region of disturbed flow (often turbulent) downstream of a solid body moving through a fluid, caused by the flow of the fluid around the body.

    For a blunt body in subsonic external flow, for example the Apollo or Orion capsules during descent and landing, the wake is massively separated and behind the body is a reverse flow region where the flow is moving toward the body. This phenomenon is often observed in wind tunnel testing of aircraft, and is especially important when parachute systems are involved, because unless the parachute lines extend the canopy beyond the reverse flow region, the chute can fail to inflate and thus collapse. Parachutes deployed into wakes suffer dynamic pressure deficits which reduce their expected drag forces. High-fidelity computational fluid dynamics simulations are often undertaken to model wake flows, although such modeling has uncertainties associated with turbulence modeling (for example RANS versus LES implementations), in addition to unsteady flow effects. Example applications include rocket stage separation and aircraft store separation.

It was then expected to resume production in 2-3 weeks, but it was postponed for an indefinite time after actor Bruce Willis and director John Pogue left the film due to financing and scheduling issues.

    Cast

  • Ben Kingsley
  • Piper Perabo as Claire Forrester
  • Cameron Monaghan
  • Ellen Burstyn

    • Production

    The project was first announced by Deadline in December 2014 that John Pogue would direct the action film Wake based on the script by Christopher Borrelli, which Benaroya Pictures would produce along with Exclusive Media, DMG, and Circle of Confusion. On January 14, 2015, Bruce Willis was set to star for the lead role to play a sociopath Red Forrester, who returns to his childhood home on a remote island for his brother's wake. On February 6, Ben Kingsley also joined the cast of the film.

    Mindless Wrecking Progress

    by: Wake

    Mind detonation
    Dream that solution
    And it will come to your realm
    Danger closing in
    As you take a step backwards
    Almost breaking your neck
    Light up the flames
    Light up your everything
    Look behind
    Strafe on left
    Peel your opponents
    Make them suffer for your mistakes
    Mindless wrecking progress
    Tear down your roof and you feel the sunshine
    Mindless wrecking progress
    Warming like it never did before
    Corridor ending
    Make up your mind
    And turn to direction you always wanted
    Leave it behind
    Walk into the woods
    Stuff your head to the ground
    Light up the flames
    Light up your everything
    Look behind
    Strafe on left
    Peel your opponents
    Make then suffer for your mistakes
    Light up the flames
    Light up your everything
    Look behind
    Strafe on left
    Mindless wrecking progress
    Tear down your roof and you feel the sunshine
