Abstract: The development of thermal bows in rotors is frequently reported. The cause of the bows is an asymmetric temperature distribution as a result of uneven heating. The heat source can be a ...

Abstract: At Luleå University of Technology, Sweden, research has been carried out in the area of plate bonding, i.e., the problems that can arise when concrete members need to be strengthened using epoxy-bonded plates. Both ...

Abstract: An approximation of heat conduction dynamics in a rotating shaft is presented for use in the rotor dynamic analysis of multiple hydrodynamic bearings to predict alteration of vibrations due to ...

Abstract: A relation between journal vibration and asymmetric temperature in the lubricant-journal interface is derived. The bearing consists of five equally distributed tilting-pads. An arbitrary synchronous ...

Abstract: arge-eddy simulations (LESs) of free-convective to near-neutral boundary layers are used to investigate the surface-layer turbulence. The article focuses on the Monin?Obukhov similarity theory (MOST) relationships that ...

Abstract: A prototype problem of a nonprecipitating convective layer growing into a layer of uniform stratification and exponentially decreasing humidity is introduced to study the mechanism by which the cumulus-topped boundary layer ...

Abstract: Analytic solutions to a planetary boundary layer (PBL) model with an eddy-diffusivity profile (i.e., a K profile) and nonlocal fluxes are presented for the quasi-steady regime. The solutions demonstrate how different ...

Abstract: ased on research showing that in the case of a strong aerosol forcing, this forcing establishes itself early in the historical record, a simple model is constructed to explore the implications of a strongly negative aerosol ...

Abstract: The heat fluxes from electronic components are steadily increasing and have now, in some applications, reached levels where air-cooling is no longer sufficient. One alternative solution, which ...
