Abstract: A finite difference calculation procedure has been developed for the calculations of the three-dimensional fully elliptic flows over irregular boundaries. A simple control volume analysis is ...

Abstract: Newtonian and non-Newtonian Couette flows through inelastic fluid saturated porous media due to a moving plate boundary have been investigated analytically. The momentum equation which includes ...

Abstract: This study focuses on Nakayama and Kuwahara’s two-equation turbulence model and its modifications, previously proposed for flows in porous media, on the basis of the volume averaging theory. ...

Abstract: A complete set of macroscopic two-equation turbulence model equations has been established for analyzing turbulent flow and heat transfer within porous media. The volume-averaged transport equations ...

Abstract: A volumetric solar receiver receives the concentrated radiation generated by a large number of heliostats. Heat transfer takes place from the receiver solid phase to the air as it passes through ...

Abstract: This part deals with the calculation of the flow within the attached boundary layer and the wake of a body of revolution and its interaction with the external potential flow which was treated ...

Abstract: An iterative procedure for the calculation of the thick attached turbulent boundary layer near the tail of a body of revolution is presented. The procedure consists of the potential-flow ...

Abstract: The structural looseness and the permeability of rock have been found to be strongly correlated, and on-site measurement of permeability is shown to be a promising new method of detecting structural looseness of rock mass ...

Abstract: The effect of the tooth contact and alignment error of the hypoid gear assembly on transmission error was investigated with a new measuring apparatus which can measure the transmission errors ...
