Abstract: If the exact metric influence of curvature is retained and the displacement effect neglected, it can be shown that the momentum integral for two-dimensional, curved boundary-layer flows is ...

Abstract: When a circular cylinder is placed in a two-dimensional shear flow, a lift force is experienced by the cylinder. In the case of hot-wire measurements in the viscous sublayer, this will give ...

Abstract: Steady, incompressible two-dimensional laminar boundary layers on curved surfaces with spanwise rotation are investigated using an approximate method. A fourth-degree polynomial is assumed for the ...

Abstract: Failure criteria for a wide range of situations where the main consideration is flow or fracture are reviewed. Some of the concepts are well known and in wide use while others are of ...

Abstract: This paper reports a study of solitary waves in a compressible atmosphere with a layer of cold air underneath a layer of warmer air of infinite height. The temperature of each layer is uniform. Two critical speeds and the ...

Abstract: In this paper a zeroth-order shear deformation theory has been derived for static and dynamic analysis of laminated composite plates. The responses obtained by the theory for symmetric and ...
