The effect of geometry on the surface waves generated by vertical surface-piercing cylinders with a horizontal velocity

Forced convection mass deposition and heat transfer onto a cylinder sheathed by protective garments

In chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear protective clothing, a layer of activated carbon material in between two textile layers provides protection against hazardous gases. A cylinder in cross flow, sheathed by such material, is generally used to experimentally test the garment properties. This is, however, complicated and predictive...

Mean normalized force computation for different types of obstacles due to dam break using statistical techniques

The dam-break induced loads and their effects on buildings are of vital importance for assessing the vulnerability of buildings in flood-prone areas. A comprehensive methodology, for risk assessment of buildings subject to flooding, is nevertheless still missing. This research aims to take a step forward by following previous research. To this...

Sound Transmission Loss Prediction of the Composite Fuselage with Different Methods

Increase of sound transmission loss(TL) of the fuselage is vital to build a comfortable cabin environment. In this paper, to find a convenient and accurate means for predicting the fuselage TL, the fuselage is modeled as a composite cylinder, and its TL is predicted with the analytical, the statistic energy analysis (SEA) and the hybrid FE&SEA...

Adaptive image interrogation for PIV: Application to compressible flows and interfaces

As an experimental tool, Particle Image Velocimetry has quickly superseded traditional point-wise measurements. The inherent image processing has become standardized though the performances are strongly dependent on user experience. Moreover, the arduously selected image interrogation parameters are applied uniformly throughout the image...

Model evaluation and dynamics of a viscoelastic fluid in a complex flow
