Abstract: The development of a very nonuniform or skewed velocity profile in passing through a diffuser has been examined from the point of view of velocity components induced by line vortices. Account ...

Abstract: Hydrostatic pressuredriven flows through soft tissues and gels cause deformations of the solid network to occur, due to drag from the flowing fluid. This phenomenon occurs in many contexts including physiological flows and ...

Abstract: This work considers the effect of external forces during finite duration collisions using an incremental model of impact. The deformation of the “rigid” body is modeled through an elastic element ...

Abstract: We present a new regularization of Coulomb’s law of friction that permits a straight-forward incorporation of frictional forces within existing numerical simulations. Similar to existing regularizations, ...

Abstract: A form of Lagrange’s equations in terms of quasi-coordinates (Boltzmann/Hamel equations) is presented. Identities are introduced which permit a straightforward method for formulating the equations ...

Abstract: Acre‐foot is an important water measurement term in the United States, particularly in the American west. Although less common, its derivative, acre‐inch, is widely used within the irrigation community. No meaningful ...
