Development of an Equivalent Homogenous Fluid Model for Pseudo-Two-Phase (Air+Water) Flow through Fractured Rock
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fracture flow of two-phase mixtures is particularly applicable to the coal mining and coal bed methane projects in Australia. A one-dimensional steady-state pseudo-two-phase flow model is proposed for fractured rock. The ...
An Investigation on the Use of Connors’ Equation to Predict Fluidelastic Instability in Cylinder Arrays
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The use of Connors’ equation, or variations thereof, to predict the velocity at which fluidelastic instability occurs in cylinder arrays subject to cross-flow has become ubiquitous. The implicit ...
Tests of Post-Frame Building Diaphragm
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Diaphragm test results of a full-scale post-frame building are presented. The post-frame building was tested at various stages of construction to determine the contributions of the different components of the building ...
Fluidelastic Instability of an Infinite Double Row of Circular Cylinders Subject to a Uniform Cross-Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper represents the first stage of a fundamental investigation of the vibration phenomena induced in heat exchanger bundles subject to a cross-flow. Using aerodynamic force coefficient data, ...
A Single-Flexible-Cylinder Analysis for the Fluidelastic Instability of an Array of Flexible Cylinders in Cross-Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A quasi-static fluidelastic analysis is developed for a single flexible cylinder surrounded by rigid cylinders and subject to cross-flow. Although the analysis is quasi-static, it includes a ...
Current-Induced Fluidelastic Instabilities of a Multi-Tube Flexible Riser: Theoretical Results and Comparison With Experiments
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Previous experiments on a five-riser cluster in steady cross-flow have indicated that for certain orientations of the cluster the peripheral, or wing, risers can undergo violent flow-induced ...
A Semipotential Flow Theory for the Dynamics of Cylinder Arrays in Cross Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a semianalytical model, involving the superposition of the empirically determined cross flow about a cylinder in an array and the analytically determined vibration-induced flow ...
An Experimental Stability Analysis of a Single Flexible Cylinder Positioned in an Array of Rigid Cylinders and Subject to Cross-Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The fluidelastic response of a single flexible cylinder in an array of rigid cylinders, subject to cross-flow, has been investigated. Experiments were done in two wind tunnels on three different ...
Simultaneous In Vitro Measurement of Patellofemoral Kinematics and Forces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study involved the development and testing of a system for the simultaneous in vitro measurement of tibiofemoral kinematics and patellofemoral kinematics and forces. Knee motion was tracked ...
On the Virtual Nonexistence of Multiple Instability Regions for Some Heat-Exchanger Arrays in Crossflow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In fluidelastic analyses involving a time delay (or phase lag) between the motions of cylinders in an array and the resultant unsteady fluid forces on the cylinders, a succession of ...
