The main topic of the presented paper concerns the method of determination and calculations of the general and particular numerical solutions of modified Reynolds equation in curvilinear orthogonal coordinates for curvilinear boundary conditions for hydrodynamic pressure distributions in bearing gap. A general solution matrix was derived and determined for various orthogonal coordinates of two ...

ester, UK. In this paper, explicit method of constructing approximations (the triangle entropy is developed for nonequilibrium problems. This method enables one to treat any com nonlinear functionals that fit best the physics of a problem (such as, for example processes) as new independent variables. The work of the method is demonstrated on the Boltzmann’s-type kinet macroscopic variables are ...

Nylon (PA) netting is widely used in purse seines and other fishing gears due to its high strength and good sinking performance. However, hydrodynamic properties of nylon netting of different characteristics are poorly understood. This study investigated hydrodynamic characteristics of nylon netting of different knot types and solidity ratios under different attack angles and flow velocities. I...

The dynamics of three synthetic oligonucleotides d(CG)4, d(CG)6, and d(CGCGTTGTTCGCG) of different length and shape were studied in solution by depolarized dynamic light scattering (DDLS) and time-resolved nuclear Overhauser effect cross-relaxation measurements. For cylindrically symmetric molecules the DDLS spectrum is dominated by the rotation of the main symmetry axis of the cylinder. The ex...

Translational tracer diffusion of spherical macromolecules in crowded suspensions of rodlike colloids is investigated. Experiments are done using several kinds of spherical tracers in fd-virus suspensions. A wide range of size ratios L/2a of the length L of the rods and the diameter 2a of the tracer sphere is covered by combining several experimental methods: fluorescence correlation spectrosco...
