Abstract: A method for defining which parts of a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant are responsible for performance deviations is presented. When the overall performances deviate from their ...

Abstract: A localization-induced cohesive model has been proposed for shear band evolution, crack growth, and fracture. Strain gradient theory has been applied to establish the criterion of the onset of ...

Abstract: This paper presents an elasticity theory solution for computation of acoustic radiation by a point- or line-excited fluid-loaded laminated plate, which may consist of a stack of an arbitrary ...

Abstract: Computations of unsteady flows due to inlet distortion driven blade vibrations, characterized by long circumferential wavelengths, typically need to be carried out in multi-passage/whole-annulus ...

Abstract: Viscous, laminar, gravitationally-driven flow of a thin film over a round-crested weir is analyzed for moderate Reynolds numbers. A previous analysis of this flow utilized a momentum integral ...

Abstract: Viscous, laminar, gravitationally-driven flow of a thin film on an inclined plane is analyzed for moderate Reynolds number under critical conditions. A previous analysis of film flow utilized a ...

Abstract: Gravitationally driven flow of a thin film down an arbitrarily curved wall is analyzed for moderate Reynolds number by generalizing equations previously developed for flow on a planar wall. In ...
