Discussion: “Performance of Three Vaned Radial Diffusers With Swirling Transonic Flow” (Baghdadi, S., and McDonald, A. T., 1975, ASME J. Fluids Eng., 97, pp. 155–160)

Closure to “Discussion of ‘Factors of Safety for Richardson Extrapolation’ ” (2011, ASME J. Fluids Eng., 133, p. 115501)

The Technical Brief by Roache [1] presents ten items of discussion of our factor of safety (FS) method for solution verification [2]. Our responses are listed below item-by-item using the same numbering as Roache. The nomenclature mostly follows our own and not Roache’s such as pRE for the order of accuracy calculated using the Richardson Extrapolation as opposed to the observed order of conver...

Three Dimensional Transonic Flow Computations Over a Projectile and at the Base Region

a comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection

supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...

J. Mar. Sci. Eng

The reliability of the narrative of the Biblical Exodus has been subject of heated debate for decades. Recent archaeological studies seem to provide new insight of the exodus path, and although with a still controversial chronology, the effects of the Minoan Santorini eruption have been proposed as a likely explanation of the biblical plagues. Particularly, it has been suggested that flooding b...

Experimental Study and Three-Dimensional Numerical Flow Simulation in a Centrifugal Pump when Handling Viscous Fluids

In this paper the centrifugal pump performances are tested when handling water and viscous oils as Newtonian fluids. Also, this paper shows a numerical simulation of the three-dimensional fluid flow inside a centrifugal pump. For these numerical simulations the SIMPLEC algorithm is used for solving governing equations of incompressible viscous/turbulent flows through the pump. The k-ε turbulenc...
