Abstract: An array of nine fabricated models comprised of three different shapes, with three model sizes for each shape, has been utilized in tow tank tests to investigate the hydrodynamic interaction ...

Abstract: Significant levels of water conservation can be achieved through control of leakage from a water distribution system. One of the best means of determining the level of water conservation which can be achieved is by conducting ...

Abstract: This paper studied the influence of the Reynolds number on lift, power, and efficiency of a three-bladed cycloidal rotor in hover. In a parameter study, Reynolds numbers from 10,000 to 600,000 were investigated. The fluid ...

Abstract: The objective of this study was to assess lead release in a pipe rig system that was disinfected with either chloramines or free chlorine. The study was carried out using pipe loops and copper pipe rigs that had lead solder, ...

Abstract: A Finite Strip element is presented for the analysis of variable height and thickness gear teeth, curved along a spiral wound on a cone. The formulation, based on Mindlin’s plate theory, ...

Abstract: A linear Finite Strip element for the analysis of rectangular and annular sector thick plates is presented to permit the deflection analysis of spur and straight bevel gear teeth, which are ...

Abstract: Previous studies have shown that the raw combination (i.e., the combination of the direct output model without any postprocessing procedure) of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and Meteorological ...
