Measurements of the Terminal Velocity of Bubbles Rising in a Chain
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Measurements were made of the effect of frequency of formation on the velocity of air bubbles rising in a chain through distilled water, lap water, and sugar water. In all cases, increasing ...
A Wind-Tunnel Study of the Effect of Gap Flow and Gap Seals on the Aerodynamic Drag of Tractor-Trailer Trucks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effect of gap width on the aerodynamic drag of a cab-over-engine tractor-trailer combination has been investigated for full-scale gap widths ranging from 0.61 m (24 in) to 1.83 m (72 in.) ...
A Wind-Tunnel Study of the Effect of Turning Vanes on the Aerodynamic Drag of Tractor-Trailer Trucks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A Wind-Tunnel Study was made of the reduction of the aerodynamic drag of tractor-trailer trucks due to turning vanes used to control flow separation. A variety of vane settings and positions ...
A Study of the Base Drag of Tractor-Trailer Trucks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Measurements were made of the base pressure distribution and the aerodynamic drag of a variety of 1/8th-scale tractor-trailer truck models in a wind tunnel at yaw angles ranging from 0° ...
Determination of Fluid Damping Using Random Excitation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental investigation has been carried out to verify the validity of the use of the random decrement technique to determine the damping coefficients for a circular cylinder oscillating ...
