Abstract: Micro-inertia effects of surface roughness on hydrodynamic lubrication are analyzed in the light of similitude principles, viz. a newly conceived reduced Reynolds number and the classical parameter ...

Abstract: A numerical and experimental investigation of roughness effects on thin laminar fluid films is described. The flow considered is pressure driven in an essentially two-dimensional channel between a flat wall and a wavy one. ...

Abstract: Because of the difficulty of specifying optimal design parameters of rectangular sedimentation tanks using a forward numerical model, an inverse calculation model based on an optimization algorithm and a forward model were ...

Abstract: The flow compression process design is critical for enhancing the efficiency and overall performance of hypersonic airbreathing propulsion. Many studies have sought to solve the challenging problems that inlet design ...
