Air flow around suspended cables

Intermodal Resonance of In-plane Free Vibrations of Suspended Cables

The weakly nonlinear in-plane free vibrations of a single suspended cable, or a coupled system of suspended cables, may be classified as gravity modes (no tension variations to leading order) and elasto-gravity modes (tension and vertical displacement equally important). The gravity mode (probably the most common type of vibration of relatively inelastic spans) does not exist for particular val...

Kinetic Simulation of Air Flow Around Hollow Cylinder Flare Configuration

Kinetic approach was used to study the shock wave/boundary layer interaction in diatomic gases and gas mixtures. The effect of non-equilibrium processes on the steady state solution was studied.

Laminar and Turbulent Aeroheating Predictions around Multi -Cone Configurations in Hypersonic Equilibrium - Air Flow

Improved algal harvesting using suspended air flotation.

Current methods to remove algae from a liquid medium are energy intensive and expensive. This study characterized algae contained within a wastewater oxidation pond and sought to identify a more efficient harvesting technique. Analysis of oxidation pond wastewater revealed that algae, consisting primarily of Chlorella and Scenedesmus, composed approximately 80% of the solids inventory during th...

Flow Visualization Around a Non - Circular Tube

The flow behavior around a cam shaped tube in cross flow has been investigated experimentally using flow visualization and pressure distribution measurement. The range of attack angle and Reynolds number based on an equivalent circular diameter are within 0 ≤ α ≤ 360˚ and 2 x 104 < Reeq < 3.4 x 104, respectively. The pressure drag features are clarified in relation to the flow behavior around t...
