ASME ( American Society of Mechanical Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is a professional association that, in its own words, "promotes the art, science, and practice of multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences around the globe" via "continuing education, training and professional development, codes and standards, research, conferences and publications, government relations, and other forms of outreach." ASME is thus an engineering society, a standards organization, a research and development organization, a lobbying organization, a provider of training and education, and a nonprofit organization. Founded as an engineering society focused on mechanical engineering in North America, ASME is today multidisciplinary and global.

Local Nonsimilarity Solutions for Boundary Layers at Lubricated Walls
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effect of the lubricating film is accounted for by a slip flow boundary condition, and the nonsimilar boundary layer problem is solved by a local nonsimilarity solution method.
Falkner-Skan Solution for Gravity-Driven Film Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It is demonstrated that the development of a viscous film flow down along a vertical wall can be described by the classical Falkner-Skan equation from aerodynamic boundary layer theory for the ...
Discussion: “On Laminar Thin-Film Flow Along a Vertical Wall” (Roy, T. R., 1984, ASME J. Appl. Mech., 51, pp. 691–692)

Effect of Entrance Region on Laminar Startup Flow in Pipes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The ultimate effects of the entrance region on startup flow are considered by one-dimensional steady-state analysis. By roughly accounting for the entrance loss, semiempirical formulas for the ...
Thin-Shear-Layer Model in Supercritical Hydraulic Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A supercritical, free-surface flow on an adverse incline has been modeled as a “thin-shear-layer” with algebraic eddy-viscosity included to account for turbulent shear stresses. The model has ...
