Abstract: The ability to accurately predict the aerodynamic torque and lift and drag forces on a 2-D model of a 0.18 aspect ratio biconvex circular-arc disk operating in a compressible flow using ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical study on the interaction of a steady approach flow and the forced transverse oscillation of a circular cylinder. The two-dimensional stream-function/vorticity ...

Abstract: A finite-difference study of the sinusoidally oscillating flow past a fixed circular cylinder is made using vorticity and stream function as the dependent variables. Calculations are performed ...

Abstract: Butterfly valve performance coefficients are necessary for predicting the required torque necessary to operate the valve along with other essential parameters necessary for ensuring the safe ...

Abstract: The transverse vibratory response of a long, slender vertical top tension riser, subject to an ocean current, is studied. The problem is treated as a coupled fluid flow/vibration problem, which ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional sinusoidally oscillating flows around a circular cylinder are investigated by using a viscous flow method (VFM) and a large eddy simulation (LES). A second-order accurate in ...
