Abstract: Large-scale networks of sewer pipes, control gates, and pump stations are the primary facilities of urban drainage systems for mitigating flood risks. During flooding periods, cooperation of pumps and control gates plays ...

Abstract: Unsteady flow in a cavitating axial inducer pump is analyzed with the help of a simple two-dimensional cascade model. This problem was motivated by a desire to study the effect of unsteady ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the one-dimensional static and dynamic analysis of thin-walled closed beams with general quadrilateral cross sections. The coupled deformations of distortion as well as ...

Abstract: A simple kinematically admissible velocity field for three-dimensional deformation in upset forging of regular polygonal blocks is proposed which takes into account the sidewise spread as well ...

Abstract: Holographic techniques are used in many fields of science and engineering including flow observation. The purpose of this paper is to review applications of holography to multiphase flow study ...

Abstract: The unsteady internal cavitating flow such as the one observed in a pump or a turbine is studied for a simple two-dimensional model of a base-cavitating wedge in an infinite tunnel and it ...

Abstract: A mathematical model is developed for parametric investigation of the influence of the rheological properties of the lubricant on the thermohydrodynamic film conditions which occur in slider and ...

Abstract: Postural imbalance can result from various vestibular (central and peripheral), neurological, orthopedic, and vascular disorders, as well as sensory conflicts, head injuries, infections, medications, ...

Abstract: This paper documents the relative merits of using more than one type of phase-change material for energy storage. In the case of two phase-change systems in series, which are melted by the ...
