Abstract: The importance of understanding the impact of hot-streaks, and temperature distortion in general, on the high pressure turbine is widely appreciated, although it is still generally the case that ...

Abstract: A model has been developed for the prediction of the density functions of bed-elevation and entrainment and deposition rates of sediment in sand bed streams within the lower regime flow condition. The model incorporates ...

Abstract: A model was developed for the prediction of the density functions of entrainment and deposition rates of nonuniform sediment. The model incorporated both statistical and deterministic parameters in its formulation. The ...

Abstract: In this study, a bedload model for nonuniform sediment is developed considering the density function of sediment entrainment with no active layer. The model is formulated based on physical considerations, dimensional ...

Abstract: A new type of therapeutic equipment is designed herein, using concepts of convective heat transfer and spray cooling, to treat patients suffering from brain-hyperthermia. The equipment is aimed to provide emergency treatment ...

Abstract: Density currents represent a broad class of flows driven by gravity acting on a density difference with the ambient environment. The understanding of the underlying mechanisms of density currents and their implications on ...

Abstract: Control of fluid-structure interaction is of practical importance from the perspective of wake modification and reduction of vortex-induced vibrations (VIVs). The aim of this study is to design ...

Abstract: Using the experimental background of 130 triaxial tests conducted on cylindrical specimens, a plasticity-based constitutive model of concrete behavior is developed. Parameters of the reference experimental database include ...

Abstract: Modern lean burn combustors now employ aggressive swirlers to enhance fuelair mixing and improve flame stability. The flow at combustor exit can therefore have high residual swirl. A good deal of research concerning the ...

Abstract: The main objectives of this paper are to determine if it is feasible to detect and size cracks with the time-domain wave propagation techniques and to recommend the best field-test configuration to be used. The focus is ...
