Abstract: The results of a comprehensive study of the comparative performance characteristics of geometrically similar vented and unvented bistable amplifiers, together with their actual dimensions, are ...

Abstract: The in-line and transverse forces acting on circular cylinders and the in-line force acting on spheres immersed in a harmonically oscillating fluid in a U-shaped vertical tunnel have been ...

Abstract: Separated flows in general and time-dependent flows in particular provide fertile territory for fundamental research in fluid dynamics and account for much of the subject matter. Thus, it is ...

Abstract: A brief review of damping is followed by a comparison of three sets of lift-force data for circular cylinders, subjected only to transverse oscillation. Then the significance of two-dimensional ...

Abstract: The forces acting on a circular cylinder by a time-dependent flow are analyzed through the use of a potential flow model. The shear layers which spring from the sides of the body are replaced ...

Abstract: This paper reviews the vortex-induced oscillations in a few specific fundamental cases. Research topics discussed are vortex shedding from a stationary bluff body; consequences of the synchronization ...
