Abstract: A curvature law of the wall, which determines the mean velocity profile, is analytically derived for near-wall turbulent flows to include strong curved-channel wall curvature effects through a ...

Abstract: The standard and modified Proctor compaction tests have been widely used for evaluation of design properties and compaction characteristics of subgrade soils. However, different types of compaction roller equipment, each ...

Abstract: Dipped track profiles between rail transit stations can significantly reduce propulsive energy, braking energy, and travel times. This work quantifies their potential benefits for circumstances reflected in various values ...

Abstract: This paper presents details of a quasi three-dimensional finite element formulation for shape rolling, TASKS. This formulation uses a mix of two-dimensional finite element and slab element ...

Abstract: A recent CFD perturbation model for turbomachinery seal rotordynamics was extended for labyrinth shunt injection with an arbitrarily high pressure gas. A large number of measured cases with ...

Abstract: Reported experimental and computational results confirm that both the flow features and heat-transfer rates inside a condenser depend on the specification of inlet, wall, and exit conditions. The ...
