Abstract

This article explores the possibility that, during elimination of conventional combustion engines, connecting rod becomes deflected. A larger angle creates higher lateral pressure on piston, also leading to greater loads other engine components. fact inspired us develop an applied mechanism design that reduces disadvantages engines. The presented mathematical model describes designed working pr...

Abstract. The Direct Simulation Monte-Carlo (DSMC) technique is used for numerical analysis of rarefied-gas hypersonic flows near a blunt plate, wedge, two side-by-side plates, disk, torus, and rotating cylinder. The role of various similarity parameters (Knudsen and Mach numbers, geometrical and temperature factors, specific heat ratios, and others) in aerodynamics of the probes is studied. Im...

The present work proposes a collocation spectral method for solving the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations using cylindrical coordinates. The whole diameter −R ≤ r ≤ R is discretized with an even number of radial Gauss-Lobatto collocation points and an angular shift is introduced in the Fourier transform that avoid pole and parity conditions usually required. The method keeps the spectra...

We study the motion of a rotating tripod sliding over a smooth surface. The tripod is important and unique in that it is the only case where all aspects of the motion can be solved exactly. From the three constraint equations, we calculate the three normal forces and friction forces, which we then use to calculate the trajectory and other physical quantities of interest. We report novel results...
