Abstract: The turbulent flow inside a low-speed centrifugal compressor at design condition is investigated using large-eddy simulation (LES) comprising of up to 26×106 computational volume cells. Unlike ...

Abstract: The laminarization phenomenon for the flow under the combined effect of strong curvature and rotation is discussed based on numerical predictions of large-eddy simulation (LES). Initially, the ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of vane shear, laboratory compaction, isotropic consolidation, cyclic triaxial, bender element, and resonant-column tests that were performed to characterize the dynamic properties of an ...

Abstract: Glyben is an artificial soil comprising bentonite mixed with glycerin that has been used recently in scaled model tests to study seismic soil structure interaction. In spite of recent interest in glyben, factors affecting ...
