We consider exact nonlinear solitary water waves on a shear flow with an arbitrary distribution of vorticity. Ignoring surface tension, we impose a non-constant pressure on the free surface. Starting from a uniform shear flow with a flat free surface and a supercritical wave speed, we vary the surface pressure and use a continuation argument to construct a global connected set of symmetric soli...

Purpose. To investigate static upper eyelid pressure and contact with the ocular surface in a group of young adult subjects. Methods. Static upper eyelid pressure was measured for 11 subjects using a piezoresistive pressure sensor attached to a rigid contact lens. Measures of eyelid pressure were derived from an active pressure cell (1.14-mm square) beneath the central upper eyelid margin. To i...

A quasi-two-dimensional equation of state for liquid-type lipid monolayers has been derived and successfully applied to surface pressure-area isotherms obtained with a variety of lipids. For lipids with acyl moieties of similar length, the surface pressure and area at monolayer collapse can be accurately predicted from data obtained at lower surface pressure. Consideration of the rationalized a...

The Axial compressor is an integrated part of a gas turbine. The central part of compressors is its blades. Blade aerodynamic has a significant effect on compressor performance. Because of the adverse pressure gradient in the compressor, any deviation in the blade profile has a significant influence on the flow field as well as the compressor performance. During the manufacturing and operation ...

An extensive experimental investigation to study the flow structure over the wing of a fighter type configuration model has been conducted. The model used for this study was similar to the High Alpha Research Vehicle (HARV) that has been used in various European research centers for studying its force and moment characteristics. Tests were conducted at two subsonic speeds and at low to moderate...

The evaluation of a free fluid surface in a porous medium has several mathematical applications that are important in industries using molds, particularly in the fluid injection process. The vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process is a promising technology in the primary composite industry. An accurate computational simulation of the VARTM process would be a cost-effective tool i...

abstract drastic precipitations in unmorally times always are one of the important factors that created abundant damages in different geographical areas. in this research, three precipitations that occurred in summer 2009 in mashhad were investigated. the investigation of variation graphs of meteorological parameters show significant decreasing of air pressure and temperature and increasing of ...

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used to examine the disjoining pressure effect of a water thin film adsorbed on a metal surface. The model was validated against experiments and verified against previous MD simulations. The variation of vapor pressure with film thickness was examined for a water thin film adsorbed on a gold surface. The results agree well with the classic disjoining pres...

Atmospheric pressure air plasma has been used to treat grey cotton fabrics and the effect of treatment on their desizing and wettability properties is studied using the dielectric barrier discharge plasma with air and helium gas mixture. The weight loss due to etching has been determined by gravimetric method, the surface structure observed by SEM, the wettability studied by wicking action and ...
