Abstract: An experimental investigation of the aerodynamics and near-field tip-vortex flow field behind tapered backward- and forward-swept wings with a stationary ground effect was conducted at Reynolds number (Re)=1.81×105. The ...

Abstract: To overcome the tradeoff between NOx and particulate emissions for future diesel vehicles and engines it is necessary to seek methods to lower pollutant emissions. The desired simultaneous ...

Abstract: The effect of wavelength and amplitude of a sinusoidal wavy ground on the aerodynamics and flowfield of a NACA 0012 airfoil at low Reynolds numbers was investigated experimentally. The results show that, regardless of wave ...

Abstract: Simultaneously assessing liquid limit and plastic limit using a single laboratory test procedure and comparing the results to the standard test methods has not been noted in the published literature. This paper describes ...

Abstract: Steady-state analyses of the incompressible flow past a single-stage stator/rotor propulsion pump are presented and compared to experimental data. The purpose of the current study is to validate ...

Abstract: Most research since the introduction of mechanical forms of shear connection to provide interaction in steel–concrete beams in the 1940s has focused on simply supported beams. With the use of advanced computer techniques ...

Abstract: Headwater flooding, flooding from a small drainage area affecting only a few structures, has generally been ignored in estimating national flood losses. A technique is developed for estimating these losses with an estimate ...

Abstract: The research here deals with the dynamic analysis of variable stiffness members that are subjected to dynamic cyclic loadings. The dynamic analysis takes into consideration the restoring force behavior of such members by ...
