Dynamic random-dot displays representing a rotating cylinder were used to investigate surface interpolation in the perception of structure-from-motion (SFM) in humans. Surface interpolation refers to a process in which a complete surface in depth is reconstructed from the object depth values extracted at the stimulus features. Surface interpolation will assign depth values even in parts of the ...

following recent works of several authors like huilgol, bhattacharya etd. and javadpour et al., this paper is to contribute further to the literature of axial flow in a rotational coaxial rheometer. we consider axial flow of herschel bulkley mode1 between two concentric cylinders with the inner one rotating, while the outer cylinder is held stationary. an attempt has been made to direct the ana...

The interaction between an initially laminar boundary layer developed spatially on a flat plate under the influence of vortex shedding induced from a rotating circular cylinder has been simulated numerically. The rotational speed of the cylinder is varied to generate the vortex shedding of different intensities. Also the flat plate is kept at different positions from the cylinder. Due to asymme...

PURPOSE To determine the refractive cylinder effect of rotating a toric intraocular lens (IOL) and identify the sources of refractive astigmatic surprise after toric IOL implantation. SETTING Private practice, Melbourne, Australia. DESIGN Experimental study. METHODS Vergence formulas using a standard reduced eye model were used to bring all lens powers to the corneal plane. Double-angle v...

The flow of dilute suspensions in a rotating filter separator consisting of a rigid, porous, polyethylene cylindrical filter rotating within an outer cylindrical shell was studied using laser-based velocity measurement techniques. The centrifugal instability of the Taylor–Couette flow results in toroidal vortices stacked in the annulus. The velocity field of the particles is very similar to tha...

Analytical solutions corresponding to the starting flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid between rotating cylinders are established. If the radius of the inner cylinder tends to zero the flow within a circular cylinder is obtained. The well-known solutions for a Navier-Stokes fluid, as well as those corresponding to a Maxwell fluid and to a second grade one, appear as limiting cases of our solutions. The ...

The flow over a pair of counter-rotating cylinders is investigated numerically and experimentally. It is demonstrated that it is possible to suppress unsteady vortex shedding for gap sizes from one to five cylinder diameters, at Reynolds numbers from 100 to 200, expanding on the more limited work by Chan & Jameson (Intl J. Numer. Meth. Fluids, vol. 63, 2010, p. 22). The degree of unsteady wake ...

Pressure and performance requirements of axial piston pumps and the proportion of churning losses in axial piston pumps increase significantly with increasing speed. To investigate the primary distribution of churning losses in axial piston pumps at various ranges of speed, a test rig was set up in which other friction losses can be eliminated, thus making it possible to investigate the net chu...

We match the vacuum, stationary, cylindrically symmetric solution of Einstein's field equations with Λ, in a form recently given by Santos, as an exterior to an infinite cylinder of dust cut out of a Gödel universe. There are three cases, depending on the radius of the cylinder. Closed timelike curves are present in the exteriors of some of the solutions. There is a considerable similarity betw...

We give an example of a spacetime having an infinite thin rotating cylindrical shell constituted by a charged perfect fluid as a source. Then we disscuss the energy conditions and we show that our spacetime contains closed timelike curves. Trajectories of charged test particles both inside and outside the cylinder are also examined. Expression for the angular velocity of a circular motion insid...
