since knowledge on hydrodynamic torque of a butterfly valve is very important for butterfly valve design, its hydrodynamic torque is investigated in this paper. in reality, the investigation of the loss coefficient and torque from some experiments will take a long time and a lot of money. this paper presents a statistical study of the flow past the butterfly valve in a static analysis using com...

in this research, the total torque input and output shafts were subjected to are used to formulate twodifferential equations using applied dynamics and fluid mechanics. the equations show that the input andoutput torques are a function of the constant geometrical parameters of a torque converter, includinginternal and external diameters of vanes, angle and length of vanes, cross section area be...

Surface-piercing propellers have been widely used in light and high-speed vessels because of their superior performance. One of the major steps in propeller selection algorithm is the determination of thrust as well as torque hydrodynamic coefficients. For the purpose of simplifying design and selection procedure, some relations are presented for determining hydrodynamic coefficients in some st...

Deposition and re-entrainment of 1.1 microm microspheres were examined in packed glass beads and quartz sand under both favorable and unfavorable conditions for deposition. Experiments were performed at environmentally relevant ionic strengths and flow rates in the absence of solution chemistry and flow perturbations. Numerical simulations of experimental data were performed using kinetic rate ...

Transport of colloidal particles in porous media is governed by the rate at which the colloids strike and stick to collector surfaces. Classic filtration theory has considered the influence of system hydrodynamics on determining the rate at which colloids strike collector surfaces, but has neglected the influence of hydrodynamic forces in the calculation of the collision efficiency. Computation...

Near a solid boundary, Escherichia coli swims in clockwise circular motion. We provide a hydrodynamic model for this behavior. We show that circular trajectories are natural consequences of force-free and torque-free swimming and the hydrodynamic interactions with the boundary, which also leads to a hydrodynamic trapping of the cells close to the surface. We compare the results of the model wit...
