Abstract: Stability of a flat or buckled panel exposed to an incompressible flow has been reanalyzed as the analyses on this problem by other investigators have errors in the fluid forces used. The ...

Abstract: The Fourier transform theory is applied to the analytical determination of the disturbance velocity potential and pressure acting on a two-dimensional plate, in order to reexamine those of ...

Abstract: This paper examines mainly oscillatory behavior of a fluid-conveying collapsible tube using a two-dimensional flexible channel made of a pair of membranes. The equation of equilibrium of the ...

Abstract: To clarify the sealing characteristics of metal gasket seals, leakage rates of gas and the real contact area of the seal surfaces were measured under several closing loads. The static seal ...

Abstract: The objective of this note is to reexamine the static behavior of a 2-D channel conveying fluid, when the wall tension becomes small or zero at some point along the channel. In addition to ...

Abstract: Taking into account both flow separation and reattachment observed in available experimental results on flows in a quasi-two-dimensional channel, we present a onedimensional unsteady flow model, ...

Abstract: Flow separation in a divergent channel was investigated in connection with problems of instability and oscillations in physiology at a Reynolds number range much smaller than that usually ...

Abstract: This paper analyzes the stability of a two-dimensional flexible channel of finite length by evaluating the fluid dynamic pressure analytically, and solving a plate equation with the aid of a ...

Abstract: This paper examines the dynamic behavior of a two-dimensional channel whose upper and lower walls deform symmetrically with respect to the center line of the channel. Unsteady fluid dynamic ...

Abstract: Surfactants are well known as additives which induce drag reduction in the straight (nonswirling) pipe flow. However, in industrial applications of the drag-reducing effect, many flow fields ...
