Abstract: To parameterize the reflected fluxes from broken cloud fields, Monte Carlo calculations are performed for several cumulus cloud fields. The results with the effects of cloud-cloud interaction and enhanced illuminated area ...

Abstract: The laminar-turbulent transition of three-dimensional boundary layers is critically reviewed for some typical axisymmetric bodies rotating in still fluid or in axial flow. The flow structures of ...

Abstract: A new type of thermodynamic cycle originating from extended application of the heat pipe principle is proposed and its thermal cycle is discussed from the viewpoint of theoretical thermal ...

Abstract: The Kudo method for obtaining average pressures in some axisymmetric forming problems by the use of velocity fields having conical surfaces as discontinuity surfaces is reviewed in the paper. ...

Abstract: The condition of flange wrinkling in conventional spinning of cones is established by modifying the theory of instability in deep-drawing of cups. Experiments conducted in order to test the ...

Abstract: Experiments were undertaken to determine the effect of cavitation on various standard flow nozzles. The results show that the discharge coefficient of the ASME long-radius flow nozzle remains ...

Abstract: Monte Carlo calculations have been performed for finite cloud fields over a reflecting surface in order to parameterize the effect of underlying surface on the cloud albedo. The radiative transfer calculations show that ...

Abstract: Low back-pressure supersonic fan blade flutter in the torsional mode was examined using a controlled-oscillating annular cascade test facility. Precise data of unsteady aerodynamic forces generated ...

Abstract: The two developments in the upper-bound method are given. These are an extended treatment of the velocity field for outward flow of a cylindrical deforming region, and the introduction of a ...

Abstract: The effects of shock waves on the aerodynamic instability of annular cascade oscillation were examined for rows of both turbine and compressor blades, using a controlled-oscillating annular cascade ...
