in this study, the effect of suction and the parameters such as suction amplitude, suction coefficient and suction jet length on naca0012 was evaluated. the turbulence employed model was the rsm model. suction jet is located in 10% of the chord length. the range of suction jet entrance velocity was selected from 0.1 to 0.5 of freestream velocity. the maximum increase in lift to drag ratio was s...

one of the world's major mineral dust source regions lies along the border between iran and afghanistan. in this studyit is hypothesized that a low-level jet may play in role in generating the intensity of this source region. the presence of alow-level jet east of the seistan mountains is documented here for the first time. the jet exists mainly from may toseptember and has a core at 850 mb. ma...

the applications of electrochemical machining are increasing because of increasing requests of industries for materials with high strengh and high hardness. regular ecm uses a tool with spicified profile shape that is similar to final shape of workpiece. in this reasearch a nozzle that delivers electrolyte to the machining gap is used for machining cylinderical workpieces. by moving the electro...

Traditional methods of measuring the profile of a scour hole or bed form have poor temporal resolution and may require the temporary cessation of the flow in order to be executed. These are undesirable characteristics since many hydraulic flows have unsteady water-sediment interfaces that can display considerable differences between their “dynamic” flow on and “static” flow off states. The pres...

This paper addresses the hazards associated with aerosolized hydraulic fluids and other liquids designed to be relatively non-flammable with respect to flashpoint and vapor pressure. The studies presented seek to understand and quantify conditions and circumstances that can produce such hazardous conditions. US Navy personnel are particularly susceptible to fuel aerosol hazards due to the wides...

In order to develop more efficient engines, it is essential to optimize the lubrication circuit of the power train systems. In this paper, during an engine design and development process, a network analysis of the engine lubrication system is described in detail. Two elements have been added to the lubrication circuit in the modified engine. These elements are hydraulic lifters and an Anti-drai...
