Abstract: A method is presented for estimating lower bounds to the minimum Rayleigh number that will induce a state of convective motion in a quasi-incompressible (Boussinesq) fluid where the temperature ...

Abstract: The velocity profiles for an infinite, cylindrical bearing are obtained by means of a small-eccentricity perturbation calculation. The modified Reynolds number appears as a parameter, and velocity ...

Abstract: The fluid dynamic effects of swirl generation on boiling flow in a tube were simulated experimentally by the flow of a water film surrounding a core of air down the interior of a vertical ...
