We develop kinematic slip models of the Gorkha earthquake using both a regularized multi-time-window (MTW) approach and an un...

because of its kinetic nature and computational advantages, the lattice boltzmann method (lbm) has been well accepted as a useful tool to simulate micro-scale flows. the slip boundary model plays a crucial role in the accuracy of solutions for micro-channel flow simulations. the most used slip boundary condition is the maxwell slip model. the results of maxwell slip model are affected by the ac...

A large-scale slow slip event with a magnitude equivalent to Mw = 7.4 has been observed at seven continuous GPS stations located in the Guerrero–Oaxaca region, southern Mexico, for several months from late 2001 to middle 2002 [Geophys. Res. Lett. (2003) 30: doi: 10.1029/2003GL017219]. We re-analyzed the GPS time series data to estimate the displacements associated with the slow slip event and a...

Introduction: Osteochondroplasty of the anterior head-neck junction is often performed to treat femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI) on the assumption that the underlying deformity is inadequate anterior offset of the femoral head. However, other morphologic abnormalities, including reduced anteversion, posterior slip, and widening of the neck can all cause loss of joint motion. In this study we...

[1] Recent results from laboratory experiments on a broad range of mineral systems exhibit dramatic drops in the effective friction coefficient m once the slip rate exceeds a critical level Vw, which is typically O(0.1) m/s. This ‘‘flash weakening’’ has been attributed to the effects of localized heating at highly stressed microscopic asperities. We extend previous phenomenological treatments t...

This paper evaluates the suitability of a newly developed hybrid “Langmuir-Maxwell” and “LangmuirSmoluchowski” slip/jump boundary conditions in the Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations for nano/micro backward-facing step geometry flow which experiences separation and reattachment. Additionally, this paper investigates the effect of different parameters such as step pressure ratio, inflow temperature...

We have experimentally observed the forms of splash caused by spheres diving into water, where the spheres are made of hydro-gel or acrylic resin[1]. The experimental results have shown that the splash by the hydro-gel sphere has formed the crown-type one, whereas the acrylic sphere formed the column-type one despite the same experimental condition. This means that the surface condition of wall...

This paper studies low-aspect-ratio ([Formula: see text]) rectangular wings at high incidence and in side-slip. The main objective is to incorporate the effects of high angle of attack and side-slip into a simplified vortex model for the forces and moments. Experiments are also performed and are used to validate assumptions made in the model. The model asymptotes to the potential flow result of...
