Migration of the Mississippi River

The process of meandering has a powerful influence on man's use of rivers and river valleys. Flood control; navigation; bank protection; water supply projects; agricultural and urban development; transportation systems; and pipeline adjacent to rivers all require a sound knowledge of the meandering process, in order to he successful, with...

Flight-Path Reconstruction for Take-Off and Landing from Inertial Measurement Data with Kalman Filter

Starting in 1946 as the College of Aeronautics, the Cranfield Institute of Technology was granted university status in 1969. In 1993 it changed its name to Cranfield University.

Numerical calculation of the wave integrals in the linearized theory of water waves

Three-dimensional laminar boundary-layer separation on a flat plate due to a flow confrontation with a half cone at incidence

The incompressible, three-dimensional, laminar boundary layer flow on a flat plate about a half-cone protuberance has been investigated bath by experiment in the NAE water tunnel and by analysis using Cooke's small cross-flow momentum integral method. Three half cones of semi-apex angles 7½, 10° and 12½, were tested at a Reynolds number of 2 x...
