Abstract: In this study, an analysis was performed for numerical Soret-Dufour heat and mass transfer of a steady laminar boundary-layer flow with Ohmic dissipation, electromagnetic hydrodynamic (EMHD) porosity, and buoyancy multimedia ...

Abstract: A method for treating a self-acting, gas-lubricated journal bearing of finite length is presented, which is a compromise between the analytic solution and numerical results. Analytic solutions ...

Abstract: Most manipulator motion controllers require joint velocity feedback. Whenever joint velocities are not measurable, they are estimated from the joint positions. However, velocity estimates tend to be inaccurate under lowspeed ...

Abstract: The steady-state atmospheric responses to a finite surface heating through thermal eddy diffusion are studied. The effects of the mean wind, the earth's rotation, and the thermal stratification are considered in a linear ...

Abstract: Use is made of the continuity, Navier-Stokes, energy, and state equations to develop the differential equations for gas-lubrication problems. Heat transfer through the surfaces is allowed. The ...

Abstract: The problem of turbulent flows in two-inlet channels has been studied numerically by solving the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the k–ε model in a mapped domain. Both the high ...

Abstract: A robust, straightforward technical procedure referred to as “optimum dimensional analysis” that is a hybrid of conventional dimensional analysis and optimum similarity analysis is proposed here ...

Abstract: Mesoscale lake-effect snowstorms in the vicinity of Lake Michigan are studied by a linear steady-state analytic model and a nonlinear time-dependent numerical model with parameterized subgrid-scale physics. The solutions ...

Abstract: The mechanism of the development and maintenance of the zonal circulation of the atmosphere is discussed from the point of view of vorticity transfer by atmospheric disturbances. Because the disturbances with vorticity ...

Abstract: In the first part of this paper, the partial differential equations governing the three-dimensional large-scale disturbances in a baroclinic zonal current are derived by applying a semi-Lagrangian coordinate system. These ...
