Abstract: Types of aeroelastic and elastic wind tunnel models available for measuring fluctuating wind loads on tall buildings are described together with some of their advantages and limitations. A new technique for using numerous ...

Abstract: Film cooling is a key technique used to reduce heat transfer from hot combustion gases to stationary and rotating components in a gas turbine engine. In high-performance engines, the endwall experiences high heat gains due ...

Abstract: A unique set of liquid film thickness and pressure drop data has been obtained for horizontal, annular flow of air and water through round, square and triangular tube using a noninvasive, ...

Abstract: In this paper a new technique for parabolic trough mirror alignment based on the use of an innovative theoretical overlay photographic (TOP) approach is described. The technique is a variation ...

Abstract: A commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package was used to develop a three-dimensional, fully turbulent model of the compressible flow across a complex-geometry venturi, such as those ...

Abstract: The effects on tribological performance of air bearing surface overcoats on magnetic recording sliders are presented. Both component level and disk drive level testing indicate that significant ...

Abstract: This work presents the mathematical model of a complex flow network containing short metering orifices, compressible flow, and two-phase flow in small diameter pipes. It has been developed to ...
