Abstract: This paper presents generic equations and analyses of a cylindrical pontoon boom's capacity to retain ice. The presentation arises out of actual booms deployed on the St. Lawrence River downstream of Montreal but are valid ...

Abstract: Predictions of the isothermal, incompressible flow in the cavity formed between two corotating plane disks and a peripheral shroud have been obtained using an elliptic calculation procedure and ...

Abstract: A low turbulence Reynolds number k-ε model has been used in conjunction with an elliptic flow calculation procedure to obtain finite-difference solutions for radial outflow in the cavity formed ...

Abstract: Finite-difference solutions are presented for rotationally induced flows in the closed space between two coaxial disks and an outer cylindrical shroud, in which there is no superimposed flow. ...

Abstract: To improve performance and lower cost, conventional wood-frame construction has evolved to incorporate increasing numbers of manufactured components. Through recent work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) ...

Abstract: The most fundamental, and perhaps most important, task in the tolerance analysis of assemblies is to test whether or not the components with tolerances are actually able to fit together (called ...

Abstract: Potential errors in calculated vertical suspended sediment concentration profiles in river flows carrying mixed sediments are investigated. These profiles are usually obtained through application of a standard ‘diffusion ...
