Abstract: In this work, forced convection in the laminar outflow between two disks is predicted. The disks can be corotating or contrarotating with equal or with different angular velocities. A published closed form solution is used ...

Abstract: The heat-transfer phenomenon in dry sands, which is generally looked at from the perspective of conduction, was studied with the thermal flux method (TFM) proposed in the literature. However, when results from the TFM were ...

Abstract: Soft and semisolid states of fine-grained soils and clay minerals (FGS-CMs) are frequently dealt with during execution of infrastructure projects located in the coastal areas, analysis of natural hazards, and mineral ...

Abstract: roadband flux emissivity schemes are often used to model infrared radiative exchanges in the atmosphere. In particular, such schemes help highlight the interaction of radiation with other transport processes, an aspect ...

Abstract: n an accompanying paper by Ponnulakshmi et al., the prevailing flux emissivity scheme for nonblack surfaces was shown to include an erroneous reflected flux term. The error leads to a spurious cooling within the opaque ...

Abstract: Nonperforating ballistic impacts on thoracic armor can cause blunt injuries, known as behind-armor blunt trauma (BABT). To evaluate the potential for this injury, the back face deformation (BFD) imprinted into a clay backing ...

Abstract: A comprehensive multidisciplinary research program on coastal fog provides unique insights on its lifecycle and predictability barriers.C-FOG is a comprehensive bi-national project dealing with the formation, persistence ...
