Stability of a Stokesian Fluid in Couette Flow
(The American Institute of Physics, 1961-03)
The stability of a Stokesian fluid (Reiner‐Rivlin fluid) in Couette motion is examined and shown to depend on the Taylor number as well as a further dimensionless parameter which is proportional to the coefficient of cross ...
Slow Viscous Shear Flow past a Plate in a Channel
(The American Institute of Physics, 1965-11)
Flow past a plate midway between two walls is studied analytically using the Stokes approximation. An exact solution is found for the semi‐infinite plate using the Wiener‐Hopf technique. For the finite plate an approximate ...
Electron Diffraction Study of the Structure of Trimethylphosphine
(The American Institute of Physics, 1960-02)
The structural parameters of gaseous trimethylphosphine, including standard errors, were found to be as follows: center of gravity bond distances were rCP=1.8465±0.003 A, and rCH=1.091±0.006 A; angles were <C☒P☒C=98.6±0.3°, ...
Production of Monodisperse Sprays
(The American Institute of Physics, 1967-04)
A technique for producing monodisperse sprays is described. The technique makes use of Rayleigh's criterion for the breakup of capillary jets by mechanically vibrating a number of uniform size capillary needles arranged ...
Steady and Unsteady Motions and Wakes of Freely Falling Disks
(The American Institute of Physics, 1964-02)
The motions and wakes of freely falling disks were studied and it was found that the diverse motions of the disks exhibit a systematic dependence on the Reynolds number Re, and the dimensionless moment of inertia I*. The ...
Hydraulic Jump in a Rotating Fluid
(The American Institute of Physics, 1964-05)
A hydraulic jump occurs in a layer of fluid flowing down the inner wall of a rotating cylinder when the downstream conditions are adequate. The theory of these jumps is presented, together with supporting experimental data. ...
Measurement of Enthalpies of Evaporation of Bi and Bi2 by an Optical Absorption Technique
(The American Institute of Physics, 1966-12-01)
The enthalpies of evaporation of Bi and Bi2 were determined by the second‐law method using an optical absorption technique to measure the change of vapor density with temperature for each species. The 3067‐Å line was used ...
Noise Transformation and Cyclotron Waves in Crossed Fields
(The American Institute of Physics, 1965-01)
A transmission‐line analog is developed for crossed‐field space‐charge flows from the simultaneous solution of Maxwell's equations, the Lorentz force equation, and the continuity equation. A thin one‐dimensional injected ...
Monte Carlo Simulation of the Low‐Voltage Arc Mode in Plasma Diodes
(The American Institute of Physics, 1968-07)
A statistical simulation of the low‐voltage arc mode of plasma diodes is carried out on a large‐scale digital computer to ascertain the importance of various thermalization and transport mechanisms. The computer experiment ...
Further Studies of Cr 1 Emission from the Shock Tube
(The American Institute of Physics, 1962-12)
