Abstract: The flow downstream of the intersection of both a circular and a tapered cylinder with a flat plate was examined at ReD = 1.3 × 105 using surface visualization, five-hole-probe anemometry, ...

Abstract: Onset of transition is investigated in the flow over an array of protruding elements mounted on the bottom wall of a rectangular water channel simulating flow passages between adjacent circuit ...

Abstract: Flow visualization and measurements of velocity and turbulence intensity using laser Doppler velocimetry are used to investigate separation and reattachment processes in the flow over an array ...

Abstract: Torque measurements, which can be related to viscous dissipation, were made in a simulated disk drive consisting of a single or multiple corotating disk stack enclosed in an axisymmetric shroud. ...

Abstract: The increase in the track densities of disk drive systems has caused the sensitivity of the read/write head alignment to thermal expansions to be a primary design concern. A simple thermal ...
