Measurement of temperature, fuel concentration and equivalence ratio fields using tracer LIF in IC engine combustion
(Springer-Verlag, 2000-11)
A technique based on planar laser-induced fluorescence of 3-pentanone, for measurements of absolute concentration, temperature and fuel/air equivalence ratios in turbulent, high-pressure combustion systems such as an ...
Some consequences of the inequality conditions in contact and crack problems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Sijthoff & Noordhoff International Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1979-01)
The importance of the inequalities and related side conditions that must be incorporated in contact and crack problems is emphasized and the ensuing consequences explored. An asymptotic analysis of the transitions from ...
Radiation-affected laminar flame propagation
(Elsevier, 1982)
Increased laminar flame thickness and flame speed under the influence of radiation is shown in terms of an original heat transfer number where is the weighted nongreyness, [kappa]p and [kappa]R are the Planck mean and ...
Modal interactions in the non-linear response of elastic cables under parametric/external excitation
(Elsevier, 1992-03)
A theoretical model is derived which describes the non-linear response of a suspended elastic cable to small tangential oscillations of one support. The support oscillations, in general, result in parametric excitation of ...
Stresses in a half space due to Newtonian gravitation
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2005-01)
An efficient general solution is obtained for the problem of the elastic half space z > 0 with a traction-free surface experiencing gravitational attraction to an arbitrarily shaped body located in z < 0. Many components ...
Evolution and impingement of an automotive fuel spray investigated with simultaneous Mie/LIF techniques
(Springer-Verlag, 2001-07)
The spatial and temporal evolution of an automotive hollow-cone-type spray was investigated with laser-based imaging diagnostics. Optical conditions of an IC engine were emulated with a test cell that was built from an ...
Buoyancy-driven turbulent diffusion flames
(Elsevier, 1991-08)
A fundamental dimensionless number for pool fires, , in proposed. Here [sigma][beta] and Ra[beta] denote a flame Schmidt number and a flame Rayleigh number. The sublayer thickness of a turbulent pool fire, [eta][beta], is ...
Concurrent Implementation of the Optimal Incremental Approximation Method for the Adaptive and Meshless Solution of Differential Equations
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-12)
The optimal incremental function approximation method is implemented for the adaptive and meshless solution of differential equations. The basis functions and associated coefficients of a series expansion representing the ...
Spark ignition of propane-air mixtures near the minimum ignition energy: Part II. A model development
(Elsevier, 1991-01)
A model is developed to simulate the kernel growth observed in the exprimental study of Part I. Kernel growth, described as a two-step process, initially involves a blast wave over a negligible short time followed by a ...
Enhanced Nonlinear Dynamics for Accurate Identification of Stiffness Loss in a Thermo-Shielding Panel
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science + Business Media, Inc., 2005-01)
The dynamics of a panel forced by transverse loads and undergoing limit cycle oscillations and chaos is investigated. The nonlinear von Karman plate theory is used to obtain a model for healthy and damaged panels. Damage ...
