SUMMARY Cumpsty and Head's entrainment method for turbulent boundary layers is extended to compressible flow using Green's compressibility assumptions. The laminar layer is predicted using Thwaites' method in the chordwise plane and the Nath method spanwise. The Rott compressibility transformation is used. The transition and wake assumptions are consistent with the two-dimensional profile drag ...

The aim of our study was to improve the availability of Rofecoxib a practically insoluble non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, as a model drug by using liquisolid technique. The effect of powder substrate composition on the flowability and compressibility of liquisolid compacts were evaluated. Specifically, several liquisolid formulations, containing 25-mg Rofecoxib, which containing different...

The aim of this study was to prepare Spherical agglomerates of Carbamazepine by Quesi-Emulsion Solvent Diffusion system (QESDS) with Ethanol-Chloroform-Water system. Granules were prepared by wet granulation method with different excipients.The prepared agglomerates were evaluated for flowability, compressibility, wettability, packability and solubility. Tablets were prepared and evaluated for ...

Micropipette aspiration (MA) technique has been widely used to measure the viscoelastic properties of different cell types. Cells experience nonlinear large deformations during the aspiration procedure. Neo-Hookean viscohyperelastic (NHVH) incompressible and compressible models were used to simulate the creep behavior of cells in MA, particularly accounting for the effect of compressibility, bu...

the dried fruit of terminalia chebula is widely used for its laxative properties. the objective of the present study was to examine the flowability and compressibility of terminalia chebula fruit powder, subsequently developing its tablet formulations by utilizing wet granulation and direct compression technology. initial studies on flowability and compressibility revealed that the fruit powder...

We report measurements of the compressibility of a one-dimensional quantum wire, defined in the upper well of a GaAs/AlGaAs double quantum well heterostructure. A wire defined simultaneously in the lower well probes the ability of the upper wire to screen the electric field from a biased surface gate. The technique is sensitive enough to resolve spin splitting of the subbands in the presence of...

Light-scattering technique for the study of dynamic thickness fluctuations in thin liquid films. We describe a light-scattering technique capable of probing the dynamics of thickness fluctuations in lipid bilayers. The technique, which we call reflectance fluctuation spectroscopy (RFS), is keenly sensitive to light scattered from the squeeze modes of motion in a thin liquid film, and insensitiv...
