Abstract: This paper considers some historical aspects of engineering mechanics with emphasis on the long historical development of mechanics from the evolution of mathematics and tool making before the Common Era to modern genomic ...

Abstract: A turbulence model is used to study the behavior of plane buoyant jets before the point of neutral buoyancy in stably linear stratified environments. The calculation of the center line velocity, density, turbulent kinetic ...

Abstract: In this study, fluid flow and heat transfer in two-dimensional staggered thin rectangular blocks in a channel flow heat exchanger is analyzed by the Finite Analytic Numerical Method. The heat ...

Abstract: In this study, two‐dimensional irrotational gravity flows over a spill‐way with a free surface are investigated numerically and compared to available experimental measurements. The difficulty of the present problem lies ...

Abstract: This study illustrates the development of the finite‐analytic (FA) numerical solutions associated with an optimal (variable) time‐weighting factor for water flow in unsaturated porous media with irregular boundaries. This ...

Abstract: A new viscous spiral micropump which uses the surface micromachining technology is introduced. The paper outlines the design of a spiral pump fabricated in five levels of polysilicon using ...

Abstract: The finite analytic method is employed to solve the vertical, two-dimensional subsurface flow and transport equations in an unsaturated zone. The finite analytic method treats the nonlinear coefficient terms of the governing ...
