Abstract: The objective of this investigation is the study of the flow limitation behavior of thin-walled compliant tubes for the design of a flow regulator employing a collapsible tube as its active ...

Abstract: The theoretical foundation of the two different mechanisms of compliant-tube flow limitation when the flow is either friction dominated (frictional flow limitation for low-Reynolds-number flow) or ...

Abstract: The existing literature on the flow of fluids through porous packed beds gives very limited quantitative information on the criteria employed in marking the applicability of the different flow ...
