Abstract: The steady incompressible viscous flow induced in a cylindrical tank by the rotation of its bottom was studied both theoretically and experimentally. The complete Navier-Stokes equations are ...

Abstract: A cyclogenetic event in the western Mediterranean (4?5 March 1982, during ALPEX-SOP) is diagnosed using an objective analysis technique for quantitative scale separation. The spatial scale separation is applied to investigate ...

Abstract: We present a detailed study of an objective technique based on the structure function. This technique is used to extract quantitative information of the structures present in meteorological fields and is useful as an initial ...

Abstract: Transverse galloping is a type of aeroelastic instability characterized by large amplitude, low frequency, normal to wind oscillations that appear in some elastic two-dimensional bluff bodies when subjected to a fluid flow, ...

Abstract: The stability of tunnel faces supported by an umbrella of subhorizontal micropiles is analyzed by means of the upper bound theorem of plasticity. The micropiles are considered beams subjected to the kinematic motion imposed ...

Abstract: Surface defects corresponding to adatoms, vacancies and steps interact, affecting and often dominating kinetic processes associated with thin-film growth. A discrete harmonic model for the evaluation ...

Abstract: Modern design of turbine blades usually requires highly loaded, very thin profiles in order to save weight and cost. If local leading edge incidence is kept close to zero, then flow separation ...

Abstract: One of the failings of the pressure die casting process is that variable surface quality is a common result. This paper provides evidence that die vibration can be used to polish castings ...
