... Abstract Our goal in this paper is to experimentally measure the axial load and energy absorption capacity of thin-walled aluminum cylinders subjected to internal pressures. For this purpose and to achieve a high level of accuracy in manufacturing the thin-walled cylinders, we used regular soda...

... Abstract Accurate solutions are obtained with the numerical method of Oliveira et al (1998) for the inertialess plane flow around a confined cylinder. This numerical procedure is based on the finite-volume method in non-orthogonal block-structured meshes with a collocated arrangement...

... 23 05 2008 The characteristic wake states of a cylinder undergoing forced sinusoidal oscillations transverse to the free-stream are studied by simultaneously measuring the structure of the near wake and the forces on the cylinder. The wake exhibits two distinctly different wake states...

... 23 05 2008 A steady state simulation for the flow past a circular cylinder at the sub-critical Reynolds number of 3900 is conducted using a variety of non-linear eddy viscosity-based two-equation κ-ε models. Although, this simulation compromises the transient characteristics...

... 28 03 2008 The effects of ‘half-full-half’ cylinders on the distortion of a turbulent flow are experimentally investigated. A single hot-wire anemometry unit is used to measure the stream-wise parameters of the flow. The cylinders are 15.2 cm (6 in) in diameter and 76.2 cm (30...

... 28 01 2008 A computational research was conducted to explore the nature of the flow in a cylindrical enclosure with a rotating lid. The aspect ratio (AR) of the cylinder used in this research was maintained at 1.5 and 2.5, and the Reynolds number (Re) ranged from 990 to 2200. The three...

... system. Using the calculated angle, the inverse of the affine transform resulting from the lack of perpendicularity between the probe beam and the motion stage can be determined and can be fixed in software. The method utilizes a high precision cylinder for the task. By using the proposed method...
