Abstract: A finite-difference solution scheme is used to study the limitations and capabilities of the boundary-layer equation model for flow through abrupt, symmetric expansions. Solutions of the boundary-layer ...

Abstract: The fatigue life of rolling-element bearings has been the subject of numerous investigations. Most recently the influence of the lubricant on fatigue failure has been given added emphasis. This ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the stiffness of a magnetic bearing that is subjected to the combined action of static and dynamic loads. Since their sum cannot exceed the saturation load, a large ...

Abstract: A time-accurate analysis for turbine vane-blade interaction is presented. The analysis simultaneously solves the unsteady isentropic Euler equations in the vane and blade rows on a blade-to-blade ...

Abstract: A finite-difference calculation method based on the boundary-layer equations is described for the prediction of laminar, developed channel flow undergoing a symmetric sudden expansion. The scheme ...
