Surface Topography Influences on Structural Life Prediction
Topography describes the complex form of a surface--the undulations which make up its character. Topography comes in all shapes and forms; what is true for the surface of our planet is also true for the surfaces of engineered structures. If you have ever driven across the Flint Hills in south-eastern Kansas, you probably recognize that the only indicator you have that you are climbing a hill is...
متن کاملSuperrotation in a Venus general circulation model
A super–rotating atmosphere with equatorial winds of ∼ 35m s is simulated using a simplified Venus General Circulation Model (GCM). The equatorial super-rotation in the model atmosphere is maintained by barotropic instabilities in the the mid–latitude jets which transport angular momentum towards the equator. The mid–latitude jets are maintained by the mean meridional circulation and the moment...
متن کاملEntropy generation calculation for laminar fully developed forced flow and heat transfer of nanofluids inside annuli
In this paper, second law analysis for calculations of the entropy generation due to the flow andheat transfer of water-Al2O3 and ethylene glycol-Al2O3 nanofluids inside annuli is presented. Thephysical properties of the nanofluids are calculated using empirical correlations. Constant heatfluxes at inner surface of the annuli are considered and fully developed condition for fluid flowand heat t...
متن کاملParametric study of a viscoelastic RANS turbulence model in the fully developed channel flow
One of the newest of viscoelastic RANS turbulence models for drag reducing channel flow with polymer additives is studied in different flow and rheological properties. In this model, finitely extensible nonlinear elastic-Peterlin (FENE-P) constitutive model is used to describe the viscoelastic effect of polymer solution and turbulence model is developed in the k-ϵ-(ν^2 ) ̅-f framework. The geome...
متن کاملRadar Topography of Dome Volcanoes on Venus and Titan
Introduction: In October 2004, SAR imaging from Cassini’s TA encounter uncovered features suggestive of cryovolcanic constructs on Titan, including flows, sinuous channels, and the 180 km structure Ganesa Macula [1]. Ganesa Macula is a radar-dark, circular feature with bright flanks, sinuous channels, and a bright region in the center that may be a central depression. In many ways, Ganesa Macul...
