Development of Drift-Flux Model at Microgravity Conditions

Collagen Fibril Formation at Microgravity Conditions:

Collagen molecules can selfassemble from dilute solutions into axially ordered fibrils similar to those seen in vivo in tendon and skin. At neutral pH the self-assembly has a negative temperature coefficient, thus molecules can be held in solution at 4-15 C; a temperature jump to 25-30 C will then lead to fibrillogenesis under controlled conditions. Two experiments have been carried out under...

Development of an Analytic Model for Flux Switching Motors

This paper presents developing an analytical model for flux switching motors. The motor is a class of variable reluctance motors that has two windings on stator; a field winding and an armature winding. Due to saliency of both stator and rotor poles, accurate modeling is difficult which arises from the nonlinear behavior of the machine. This paper presents a simple model which is able to predic...

On linearized coupling conditions for a class of isentropic multiphase drift-flux models at pipe-to-pipe intersections

In this paper a general drift-flux model describing a subsonic and isentropic multi-phase fluid in connected pipes is considered. Each phase is assumed to be isentropic with its own sonic speed. The components are gamma-law gases with γ > 1. For such the computational challenge at a junction is the computation of rarefaction waves which do not have a readily available analytical form. Firstly, ...
