Abstract: Stochastic heat transfer problems are often solved using a perturbation approach that yields estimates of mean values and standard deviations for properties and boundary conditions that are random ...

Abstract: A numerical technique for the efficient computation of singular states of stress is developed and applied to several plane strain elastic problems. The method which extracts the effect of the ...

Abstract: A Reynolds stress model is proposed for modeling the local turbulence structure in flow along a streamwise corner. Initial discussion centers on present methods of predicting internal and extenal ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional mixing length model is proposed for modeling local Reynolds stress behavior in rectangular ducts of arbitrary aspect ratio. The model is applicable to both developing and ...

Abstract: The free and forced vibrations of cable segments typical of a skyline logging cable system are analyzed by assuming that the vibrating cable segment maintains a catenary shape, and energy ...

Abstract: The use of annuli, converging nozzles, and a converging-diverging wall section in round tubes to reduce the laminar entry lengths was studied. Over a very limited range of Reynolds numbers ...

Abstract: Comparisons are made between experimental data and numerical predictions based on a three-dimensional length-scale model applicable to developing turbulent flow in rectangular ducts of arbitrary ...

Abstract: A finite difference hydrodynamic code was developed to determine the pressures in a dumbbell pipe configuration when a through crack in the pipe wall was permitted to run along the length. ...

Abstract: The nominally one-dimensional conduction of heat through a slab becomes two dimensional when one of the surfaces is rough or when the boundary conditions are spatially nonuniform. This paper ...
