An Investigation of the Mechanism of the Friction and Wear of Carbon
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1963)A comparison has been made of the friction and wear characteristics of carbons of high (p = 0.1) and low (p = 0.9) graphiticity (hereafter referred to as graphitic and nongraphitic) in vacuo, ... -
A Method for the Calculation of 3D Boundary Layers on Practical Wing Configurations
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1981)This paper gives a description of a calculation method for 3D turbulent and laminar boundary layers on nondevelopable surfaces. A simple eddy viscosity model is incorporated in the method. ... -

Evaluation of Vehicle Drag Parameters From Coastdown Experiments Conducted Under Nonideal Environmental Conditions
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1981)Parameter identification by optimization forms the analytical basis for extracting road load information from well controlled coastdown tests. Specific attention is given to the effects of both ... -
Measurement of Pointwise Juncture Condition of Temperature at the Interface of Two Bodies in Sliding Contact
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1963)An apparatus is described for bringing a rider specimen and a slider specimen into continuous sliding contact so that significant temperatures at the interface are achievable. The design is ... -
Two-Dimensional Turbulent Offset Jet-Boundary Interaction
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1981)This paper presents a theoretical and experimental study of two-dimensional, turbulent jet-boundary interaction. The jet is discharged parallel to and offset from a solid wall in the presence ... -
The Apparent Flapping Motion of a Turbulent Plane Jet—Further Experimental Results
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1981)Measurements of four types of correlations in the self preserving region of a turbulent plane jet are presented. Negative correlations are noted between the two halves of the jet, exhibiting ... -
Prediction and Measurement of Mass, Heat, and Momentum Transport in a Nonreacting Turbulent Flow of a Jet in an Opposing Stream
