Abstract: The three-dimensional shear-driven cavity flow is numerically investigated at Reynolds numbers of 5000 and 10000. This investigation focuses on the unsteadiness and turbulent characteristics of the ...

Abstract: The formation and the downstream transport of the Strouhal vortices in the near wake of a circular cylinder are investigated using the large-eddy simulation (LES) method. The governing equations ...

Abstract: Research work on inter-zone convective heat transfer in buildings is reviewed and the parameters that govern this process are discussed. A limited comparison between the heat transfer rates ...

Abstract: An analytical study has been herein presented to predict the stress distribution in thick-walled porous (permeable) cylinders subjected to internal and/or external pressures. The maximum induced ...

Abstract: Although thick walled cylinders subjected to both pressure difference and internal heat flow can be found in many engineering applications, optimizing for maximum material utilization is still ...

Abstract: The identification of power flow paths in dynamically loaded structures is an important, but currently unavailable, capability for the finite element analyst. For this reason, methods for calculating ...

Abstract: Digital pulse amplitude acquisition systems are reviewed and an analogue pulse height analyser (PHA) is described. Cavitation experiments are reported in which pressure pulses in the liquid (water) ...

Abstract: In recent work, a design methodology for multi-lay wire strands has been developed. The current paper expands on this earlier work to study wire ropes in which the strand is a basic component. ...

Abstract: The pattern of disturbance left by internal wave groups traveling in a uniformly stratified ocean is examined. Particular attention is given to the temporal and spatial reoccurrence of extreme values of some parameter Q, ...

Abstract: Three tests were conducted on identical one‐way reinforced concrete slabs. The tests were conducted using water over a waterproof membrane to apply a uniform surface pressure under three conditions: (1) With the test slab ...
