Abstract: In this work, turbulent drag reduction in a pipe is investigated by using laser Doppler velocimetry. The effect of decreasing the friction factor of the flow is obtained by addition of high ...

Abstract: This theoretical work shows how the knowledge of the emulsion microscale, including drop stretching and orientation leads to a continuum description of emulsion flows. A first order small ...

Abstract: This study presents an innovative procedure to derive the ultimate load capacity of a pile system by considering the natural (intrinsic) variability of a tropical soil. The tropical soil has high aluminum and iron content ...

Abstract: In this paper we present direct numerical simulations of monodisperse and polydisperse suspensions of non-Brownian particles sedimenting at low Reynolds number. We describe a scheme to generate ...
