Abstract: Traditional analysis treats the helix as a straight wire with the effects of nonuniform heating, torsion, and large curvature ignored. Using a helical coordinate system the governing partial ...

Abstract: The transition process of laminar flow between parallel plates is investigated experimentally. This problem has recently gained much attention with several reported works; however, the maximum ...

Abstract: This paper complements an earlier paper by Karnitz, Potter, and Smith [1] (1974) in which the mechanism of the transition of a plane Poiseuille flow between parallel plates was examined. In ...
