Abstract: This paper discusses the appropriate scaling factors for the modeling of the fluid-mechanical interaction of complex structures. The possible mechanisms of flow-excited vibration are described, and ...

Abstract: Experiments are performed to explore the flow characteristics of porous media having the form of a latticework of metallic fibers. Five such media are investigated, four among which share the ...

Abstract: Experiments were performed to study the laminar flow characteristics and the laminar-turbulent transition in a parallel-plate channel, one of whose bounding walls is a porous medium. The flow ...

Abstract: Experiments are reported on fully developed turbulent flows at low Reynolds numbers in rectangular ducts of large aspect ratio. Six ducts, with aspect ratios between 15.5:1 and 35.0:1, were ...

Abstract: Experiments were performed to examine the resistance law for non-Darcy compressible gas flow through a porous material. A particular objective of the investigation was to determine whether a ...

Abstract: The fluid flow processes in a squeeze film having one porous bounding wall are analyzed. The analysis takes account of velocity slip at the surface of the porous medium as well as of the ...

Abstract: A model is presented to describe the one-dimensional flow of an incompressible fluid through a deformable porous material. The model is based on the Forchheimer extension of the Darcy law for ...

Abstract: This paper, together with a companion paper which follows, describes a many-faceted experimental investigation aimed at determining basic characteristics of fluid flow through deformable porous ...
