Abstract: In this paper, the characteristics of pulsatile flow past a silicone-based artificial stenotic aortic valve under varied heart rates have been studied using particle image velocimetry (PIV). Pulsatile flow waveforms were ...

Abstract: The paper introduces a simplified structural model for the numerical investigation of bump-type foil bearings. This analytical model is based on an efficient nonlinear contact procedure with consideration of friction, small ...

Abstract: A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation is performed via ansys–CFX for a fully developed turbulent flow in concentric annuli with two radius ratios (R1/R2 = 0.4 and 0.5) at three Reynolds numbers (Re = 8900, ...

Abstract: A double-layer structure model of pavements that considered interlayer contact status was established to manage the dowel-bar position deviation problem in rigid pavements. The deviation effect of three-dimensional positions, ...

Abstract: his study develops a Gaussian mixture rainfall-rate estimator (GMRE) for polarimetric radar-based rainfall-rate estimation, following a general framework based on the Gaussian mixture model and Bayes least squares estimation ...

Abstract: Reynolds-averaged modeling is performed for polymer-induced drag reduction (DR) fluid at the fully developed turbulent regime in a concentric annulus by using the commercial code, ansys-fluent. The numerical approach adopted ...

Abstract: Non-Gaussian processes beset many aspects of structural engineering analysis. To estimate non-Gaussian processes, various third-order Hermite polynomial models have been proposed and widely applied. Different forms of ...

Abstract: A long investment cycle and complex environmental changes bring lots of uncertainty to urban rail-transit (URT) project investment, and lead to many investment risks. However, investors’ aggressive flexible management ...

Abstract: Big data has emerged as an attractive concept in various industry domains. For power engineering, enormous amounts of data from different devices, different geographical locations of the power grid, and different time ...

Abstract: The aim of the article is to research the unsteady magnetohydrodynamic stagnation-point flow of fractional Oldroyd-B fluid over a stretched sheet. According to the distribution characteristics of pressure and magnetic field ...
