The unsteady flow features of a series of two-dimensional, planar base flows are examined, within a range of low-supersonic Mach numbers in order to gain a better understanding of the effects of compressibility on the organized global dynamics. Particle image velocimetry is used as the primary diagnostic tool in order to characterize the instantaneous near wake behavior, in combination with dat...

The ultrasonic velocity, density and viscosity of some Schiff bases of 4-amino benzoic acid  were measured in 1,4-dioxane and dimethylformamide at 308.15 K. Various acoustical properties such as isentropic compressibility (ks), Rao’s molar sound function (Rm), the Van der Waals constant (b), molar compressibility (W), inter molecular free len...

The crystal structure of a copper squarate metal-organic framework is fully determined using first principles methods based in density functional theory. compressibility this material studied by optimizing the under different isotropic pressures and uniaxial stresses directed along direction minimum compressibility, [1 0 0]. Under compression, channels become wider 0], leading to negative linea...

Interpreting the cosmological constant as a pressure, whose thermodynamically conjugate variable is a volume, modifies the first law of black hole thermodynamics. Properties of the resulting thermodynamic volume are investigated: the compressibility and the speed of sound of the black hole are derived in the case of non-positive cosmological constant. The adiabatic compressibility vanishes for ...

In this paper, results of a free sorting task of 124 different material samples are analysed using multidimensional scaling. The relevant number of dimensions for haptic perception of materials is estimated to be 4. In addition, the haptic material space is calibrated by means of physical measurements of compressibility and roughness. The relation between objective and perceived compressibility...

Total compressibility in a fractured reservoir is estimated using the pressure response due to gravitational potential variations. Both the lunar and the solar gravitational potentials are fully accounted for by inclusion of longer-period components. The semidiurnal and diurnal pressure data show substantial long-term variations. The gravitational potential also contains the same variation tren...

This paper presents the initial stage of an effort aimed at developing a new correlation to estimate pseudo critical properties for sour gas when the exact composition is not known. Several mixing rules and gas gravity correlations available in the literature are first evaluated and compared. The evaluation is performed on a large database consisting of more than 2000 samples of sour gas compos...

Drag reduction by bubbles in stationary turbulent flows is sensitive to the compressibility of the bubbles. Without this dynamical effect the bubbles only renormalize the fluid density and viscosity, an effect that by itself can only lead to a small percentage of drag reduction. We show in this paper that the dynamics of bubbles and their effect on the compressibility of the mixture can lead to...
