Abstract: The title problem is solved by the method of collocation utilizing complex nonorthogonal characteristic functions. It is shown that the characteristic values can be obtained by repeated linear ...

Abstract: The sloshing of liquids in tanks that use a flexible, inextensible bladder to contain the liquid is investigated experimentally and theoretically. The bladder affects both the configuration of ...

Abstract: Analyses and experimental comparisons are given for liquid sloshing in a rigid cylindrical tank under conditions of moderately small axial accelerations; in particular, the theory is valid for ...

Abstract: A theory of magnetic fluid sloshing in a solenoidal magnetic field is developed herein. It shows that (a) the free-surface waves on a magnetic fluid are dynamically similar to the waves on ...

Abstract: A theoretical analysis is given for squeeze film bearings which use an electrically conducting fluid, such as a liquid metal, as the lubricant and which are in the presence of a magnetic ...

Abstract: Laser phase-doppler velocimetry measurements have been used to characterize the particle-gas sprays produced by straight-tube nozzles that simulate idealized fuel injectors for solid fuel combustion ...
