Abstract: This paper discusses the application of mobility methods to the lateral vibration analysis of coupled machinery. Some effects of bearing and/or casing structural mobility on the rotational system ...

Abstract: The dependence of plume growth rate on plume size is discussed. It is shown that the growth rates estimated by techniques used in some widely distributed puff models can be in error by as much as two orders of magnitude, ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new method is introduced to model the transport of entropy waves and equivalence ratio fluctuations in turbulent flows. The model is based on the Navier–Stokes equations and includes a transport equation ...

Abstract: Visual observations and pressure measurements in the cavitation zone of a submerged journal bearing are described. Tests were performed at various shaft speeds and ambient pressure levels. Some ...

Abstract: An automated system has collected meteorological data hourly in the San Francisco Bay Area since October 1995. Data from sites operated by the National Weather Service, Federal Aviation Administration, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air ...

Abstract: Two smoothing techniques are tested as a practical means of allowing a larger time step in the numerical integration of a primitive equation free-surface model. The numerical integration uses a finite-difference grid and ...
