Abstract: The stability of surge tanks is investigated taking into account the friction losses in the pipe, surge tank and the junction losses. Three surge shaft stability problems are investigated for a surge shaft layout. Pump ...

Abstract: Knowledge of the probability distribution of initial conditions is central to almost all practical studies of predictability and to improvements in stochastic prediction of the atmosphere. Traditionally, data assimilation ...

Abstract: Boussinesq-Papkovich stress functions are used to determine three-dimensional closed form solutions for steady creep around a spherical cavity or rigid inclusion in a half space under gravity ...

Abstract: Conditions are discussed for which the contact zone at the tip of a two-dimensional interface crack between anisotropic elastic materials is small. For such “small scale contact” conditions ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the requirements for high-speed centrifugal compressor drive couplings and some of the problems created by conventional couplings. It describes two new coupling designs and ...

Abstract: The general problem of Timoshenko beam analysis is solved using the Laplace transform method. Time-dependent boundary and normal loads are considered. It is established that the integrands of ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes computational results for flow and heat transfer over an array ofidealized electronic components and compares them to experimental data. The numerical modeling was performed ...
