Abstract: A short pulse of pressure or volume flux can be changed in magnitude by sending it through a tapered tube. However, both the geometry of the taper and viscous shear cause the pulse to ...

Abstract: An examination is made of the effect produced by an externally applied magnetic field when the flow of an electrically conducting fluid is stopped by the sudden closure of a valve. The fluid ...

Abstract: A tapered pipe (or “line”) is a convenient transformer for pulses of pressure or volume flux, but the pulse usually becomes distorted, depending on the geometry of the taper. The principal ...

Abstract: An analysis and experimental results are presented for a magnetohydrodynamic partial journal bearing using a liquid metal lubricant. An external magnetic field is applied axially along the journal, ...
