detection of subsurface structures by means of gravity method can be used to determine mass distribution and density contrast of rock units. this distribution could be detected by different geophysical methods, especially gravity method. however, gravity techniques have some drawbacks and can't be always successful in distinguishing subsurface structures. performance of the gravity technique co...

A mathematical model is developed to study the MHD oscillatory blood flow through stenosed artery under the effect of slip velocity. The blood is assumed to be Newtonian. Analytical expressions for velocity profile, flow rate, wall shear stress and resistive impedance have been obtained. These expressions are computed numerically and the computational results are presented graphically. It is no...

in this paper, changes of casson non-newtonian fluid velocity profile, for different distribution of porosity, have been investigated. for distribution of porosity, fixed, radial and exponential variations has been considered. for all three states, brinkman model has been used as momentum equation. since the casson fluid is a good model for blood, this analysis can be used in studying about cho...

The work described herein consists of experimental measurement of the post-impact buckling loads of Eglass/epoxy laminates. Composite samples with stacking sequence of [+45/45/90/0]2s were subjected to low-velocity impact loading at energy levels of 36, 56.13, 79.95, 110.31 and 144 J. The impact tests were conducted with a specially developed vertical drop weight testing machine. Impact parame...

A new generation of current and wave testing tanks is required to simulate more realistic sea conditions at larger scales. One means of producing a current is by using groups of impellers arranged around the perimeter of a circular tank. Each propeller produces a single flow velocity which may be different to its neighbours. These differences can lead to a stepped or curved plan view velocity p...

We study the use of parallax microlensing to separate the effects of the mass function of dark massive halo objects (MHOs or ‘machos’) on the one hand and their spatial distribution and kinematics on the other. This disentanglement is supposed to allow a much better determination of the two than could be achieved entirely on the basis of the durations of events. We restrict our treatment to the...

A well-established, non-invasive, in-line technique for monitoring the rheological properties of a fluid in a pipe in real time is Pulsed Ultrasound Velocimetry (PUV) in combination with pressure difference measurement (PD). PUV makes it possible to determine the velocity profile along the measuring axis using Doppler echography. One problem that is left to solve is to develop an automatic dete...

High frequency oscillatory ventilation takes advantage of unique principles of gas flow when respiratory frequencies exceed 3 Hz (180 breaths per minute). These gas flow principles enable the alveolar gas turnover at volumes below or equal to physiologic deadspace. One of these principles is call asymmetrical velocity profile. As Froese and Bryan described in their “State of the Art” article on...

Six-yr-long time series of winds, waves, and water velocity from a cabled coastal observatory in 12 m of water reveal the separate dependence of the cross-shelf velocity profile on cross-shelf and along-shelf winds, waves, and tides. During small waves, cross-shelf wind is the dominant mechanism driving the cross-shelf circulation after tides and tidal residual motions are removed. The along-sh...
