High Order Fluctuation Schemes on Triangular Meshes
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-12)
We develop a new class of schemes for the numerical solution of first-order steady conservation laws. The schemes are of the residual distribution, or fluctuation-splitting type. These schemes have mostly been developed ...
Failure Analysis of Adhesively Bonded Structures: From Coupon Level Data to Structural Level Predictions and Verification
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer, 2005-08)
This paper presents a predictive methodology and verification through experiment for the analysis and failure of adhesively bonded, hat stiffened structures using coupon level input data. The hats were made of steel and ...
Least-correlation estimates for errors-in-variables models
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2006-09)
This paper introduces an estimator for errors-in-variables models in which all measurements are corrupted by noise. The necessary and sufficient condition minimizing a criterion, defined by squaring the empirical correlation ...
Design and fabrication of unsteady electrokinetic microactuator arrays for turbulent boundary layer control
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2004-10-01)
The development of a micro-electro-kinetic-actuator (MEKA) array for the study and control of the viscous sublayer of a turbulent boundary layer is presented. Several generations of such MEKA arrays have been fabricated ...
Empirical slip and viscosity model performance for microscale gas flow
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2005-12-20)
For the simple geometries of Couette and Poiseuille flows, the velocity profile maintains a similar shape from continuum to free molecular flow. Therefore, modifications to the fluid viscosity and slip boundary conditions ...
Magnetically enhanced vacuum arc thruster
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2005-11-01)
A hydrodynamic model of the vacuum arc thruster and its plume is described. Primarily an effect of the magnetic field on the plume expansion and plasma generation is considered. Two particular examples are investigated, ...
