Abstract: Possible models of shear-induced augmentation of oxygen transfer in laminar blood flow are discussed and evaluated in the light of recently published experimental results [1]. A new transfer ...

Abstract: The pressure distribution in the contact zones and the radii at which flat and smooth axisymmetric, linear elastic plates will separate were computed for several thicknesses as a function of ...

Abstract: The influence of roughness on the interfacial pressure distribution in the contact of two spherical surfaces is considered. An approximate general solution is presented and it is shown that the ...

Abstract: We report on laminar-to-turbulent transition in a rectangular channel in the presence of periodically placed cylindrical eddy promoters. Transition is identified through the analysis of power ...

Abstract: A thermal model to predict the effect of laser parameters on the zone of thermal injury produced by laser ablation of biological tissue is presented. The model suggests that the Péclèt ...

Abstract: An experimental study was performed to determine the extent of shear-induced augmentation of oxygen diffusion in blood. The results were obtained using whole human blood in laminar flow through ...

Abstract: One of the parameters needed to calculate the thermal contact resistance across a bolted joint is the interface pressure distribution between the plates of the joint [1, 2]. As part of a ...
