Abstract: A three-dimensional photographic study of the nonrectilinear ascent of an air bubble in water is presented. A geometric model is developed which describes the trajectory in terms of a transformed ...

Abstract: A new correlation for the skin friction and two new correlations for the entrainment rate in turbulent boundary layers are presented. Relative to previous correlations, the new ones are at ...

Abstract: A method is presented for computation of performance of two-dimensional (planar) diffusers with steady turbulent inflow of an incompressible fluid. Previous methods can predict one regime of flow. ...

Abstract: This article presents a refinement of the rotating-angle softened truss model (RA-STM) for prestressed concrete (PC) membrane elements. To refine the RA-STM, an efficient solution procedure to solve the set of nonlinear ...
