Abstract: Although uniform inlet conditions are highly desirable and system designers attempt to insure distortion-free flow entering compressors, situations frequently arise in which substantial total pressure, ...

Abstract: Safe off-design operation of compressors is limited to the region in which the flow is stable. Flow instabilities can be of two types, rotating stall and surge. The first of these subjects ...

Abstract: The time-varying flow of a boiling liquid through a series of ducts and heaters is considered for the case where the flow rate is controlled by a downstream orifice. It is shown that ...

Abstract: In studies of a diffuser operating with inlet flow oscillations, it has been found that large amplification of the inlet velocity oscillations occurs within the diffuser when the throat Reynolds ...

Abstract: A study has been made of the effects of free stream oscillations on laminar boundary layers of the Howarth type. Detailed measurements of oscillations have been made for the two conditions ...

Abstract: A one-dimensional analysis of air-lift pump performance in shallow water has been developed which includes the effects of friction and slip between the gas and the liquid. The theory predicts ...

Abstract: The transient switching of a model bistable fluidic amplifier with low setbacks and variable configuration has been studied. The amplifier was of conventional design with straight and convex ...
