An analytical method is derived for the thermal consolidation of a saturated, porous, hollow cylinder with infinite length. The solutions in Laplace transform space are first obtained and then numerically inverted by Stehfest method. Two cases of boundary conditions are considered. First, variable thermal loadings are applied on the inner and outer pervious lateral surfaces of the hollow cylind...

The flow over a pair of counter-rotating cylinders is investigated numerically and experimentally. It is demonstrated that it is possible to suppress unsteady vortex shedding for gap sizes from one to five cylinder diameters, at Reynolds numbers from 100 to 200, expanding on the more limited work by Chan & Jameson (Intl J. Numer. Meth. Fluids, vol. 63, 2010, p. 22). The degree of unsteady wake ...

Pressure and performance requirements of axial piston pumps and the proportion of churning losses in axial piston pumps increase significantly with increasing speed. To investigate the primary distribution of churning losses in axial piston pumps at various ranges of speed, a test rig was set up in which other friction losses can be eliminated, thus making it possible to investigate the net chu...

We match the vacuum, stationary, cylindrically symmetric solution of Einstein's field equations with Λ, in a form recently given by Santos, as an exterior to an infinite cylinder of dust cut out of a Gödel universe. There are three cases, depending on the radius of the cylinder. Closed timelike curves are present in the exteriors of some of the solutions. There is a considerable similarity betw...

Direct numerical simulations of turbulent Taylor-Couette flows are performed to investigate the effect a traveling wave control on torque and heat transfer. In flow, inner outer cylinders rotating immobile, respectively, temperature difference between cylinder walls is maintained as constant. The ratio 0.882, Reynolds number set 84,000. A wave-like blowing suction imposed an wall. parametric st...

We give an example of a spacetime having an infinite thin rotating cylindrical shell constituted by a charged perfect fluid as a source. Then we disscuss the energy conditions and we show that our spacetime contains closed timelike curves. Trajectories of charged test particles both inside and outside the cylinder are also examined. Expression for the angular velocity of a circular motion insid...

a mathematical analysis has been carried out for the axial flow of a bingham plastic fluid, in the concentric cylinder viscometer which consists of a cylindrical sample holder (the cup) and a cylindrical spindle (the bob) coaxial with the cup. the fluid to be tested flows through the annular gap of the cup and the bob system, sheared by the rotation of the inner cylinder, while the outer cylind...

A DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTIC AMONG PERFECTLY WETTING FLUIDS JOHN MCCUAN Abstract. We consider a cylindrical lm of uid adhering to a rigid cylinder of xed radius. The main result is to give the critical (maximum) length for which such a lm of given thickness can be stable. The problem is considered both when the cylinder remains stationary and when the uid and the cylinder are co-rotating at ...

We investigated the dynamics of nanofluid and heat transfer in a three-dimensional circular annular using κ−ε turbulence model energy equations. The pipe contained two concentric rotating cylinders with constant speed tangential direction. A flux boundary condition was executed at inner cylinder annular. settled vertically, water alumina allowed to enter, initial velocity depending on Reynolds ...

We consider the flow of two immiscible fluids lying between concentric cylinders when the outer cylinder is fixed and the inner one rotates. The interface is assumed to be concentric with the cylinders, and gravitational effects are neglected. We present a numerical study of the effect of different viscosities, different densities and surface tension on the linear stability of the Couette flow....
