Abstract: Steady two-dimensional thin-film flow of a Newtonian fluid is examined in this theoretical study. The influence of exit conditions and gravity is examined in detail. The considered flow is of ...

Abstract: Linear stability analysis of fully developed axisymmetric steady spatially modulated Taylor–Couette flow (TCF) is carried out in the narrow-gap limit. In contrast to unforced TCF, only the vortical ...

Abstract: Previously published inception data for cavitation in the wake of sharp-edged disks are reanalyzed. The boundary layer characteristics at the face of the disk are found to play a major role. ...

Abstract: An eighth canon is proposed for the American Society of Civil Engineers Code of Ethics that states “engineers shall recognize the wise use and conservation of the cultural heritage, natural environment and natural resources, ...

Abstract: No Abstract Available.

Abstract: Compressive forces may be induced in pipelines by the restraint of axial extensions due to temperature changes or other causes. These forces may cause vertical or lateral buckling of the pipeline. These two buckling modes, ...

Abstract: The influence of inertia and boundary conditions on the steady state and stability of isothermal film casting of viscoelastic fluids is examined using a Phan-Thien–Tanner rheological model. The ...

Abstract: The transient two-dimensional flow of a thin Newtonian fluid film over a moving substrate of arbitrary shape is examined in this theoretical study. The interplay among inertia, initial conditions, ...
