Verification and Validation in Fluids Engineering: Some Current Issues
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)The following current issues in verification and validation (V&V) are discussed: probability bounds analysis (PBA) versus the traditional probability distribution function (PDF) approach as used in the ANSI Standard ... -
On Nano Ellipsoid Transport and Deposition in the Lung First Bifurcation Effect of Slip Correction
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)Recent rapid development of industrial usage of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has raised health concerns as these engineered elongated particles resemble the appearance of asbestos, which is a wellknown inhalation hazard. While ... -
Adaptive Detached Eddy Simulation of Three Dimensional Diffusers
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)An adaptive method for detachededdy simulation (DES) is tested by simulations of flow in a family of threedimensional (3D) diffusers. The adaptive method either adjusts the model constant or defaults to a bound if the grid ... -
The Focusing Laser Differential Interferometer, an Instrument for Localized Turbulence Measurements in Refractive Flows
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)The theory, design, and use of a focusing laser differential interferometer (FLDI) instrument are described. The FLDI is a relatively simple, nonimaging, commonpath polarization interferometer for measuring refractive ... -
Nine Decades of Fluid Mechanics
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)As the ASME Division of Fluids Engineering celebrates its 90th Anniversary, I make a broadbrush sweep of progress in the field of fluid mechanics during this period. Selected theoretical, numerical, and experimental advances ... -
Morphology of Secondary Flows in a Curved Pipe With Pulsatile Inflow
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)A multiplicity of secondary flow morphologies is produced in the arterial network due to complexities in geometry (such as curvature, branching, and tortuosity) and pulsatility in the blood flow. In clinical literature, ... -
Stability of Two Immiscible Fluid Systems: A Review of Canonical Plane Parallel Flows
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)A brief review is given on the stability of twofluid systems. Our interest is primarily driven by drag reduction using superhydrophobic surfaces (SHS) or liquidinfused surfaces (LIS) where the longevity and performance ... -
