Abstract: The inception of leading-edge stall on two-dimensional smooth thin airfoils at moderately high Reynolds number flows [in the range O(104 ) to O(106 )] is investigated by an asymptotic approach ...

Abstract: The significance of lack of fit in structural steelwork for buildings is studied. Lack of fit is caused by rolling or fabrication tolerances, welding distortions, etc. When imperfect fit occurs between elements, supposedly ...

Abstract: The results of an experimental investigation into the flowfield characteristics of butterfly valves under compressible flow operating conditions are reported. The experimental results include Schlieren ...

Abstract: The results of an experimental investigation of the aerodynamic torque characteristics of butterfly valves under compressible flow conditions are reported. Both three-dimensional prototype valves ...

Abstract: The inception of leading-edge sheet cavitation on two-dimensional smooth thin hydrofoils at low to moderately high Reynolds number flows is investigated by an asymptotic approach and numerical ...

Abstract: The results of an experimental investigation concerning the operating characteristics of two similar butterfly valves mounted in series are reported. Emphasis is given to the influence of the ...

Abstract: The results of an experimental investigation concerning the operating characteristics of a butterfly valve downstream of a mitered elbow are reported. Primary emphasis is given the influences of ...

Abstract: In this paper, predictions are made of noise radiation from single, supersonic, axisymmetric jets. We examine the effects of changes in operating conditions and the effects of simulated enhanced ...

Abstract: Compressible flow characteristics including mass flowrate, onset of “choked” flow, stagnation pressure loss, and static pressure recovery have been investigated for butterfly valves. A simplified ...

Abstract: This paper explores the various analytical links between the free attitude motions of spinning bodies of the rocket type, and the system’s parameters. The system is modeled as an axisymmetric ...
