In the present investigation, a mathematical model is developed to study the flow of blood in a multiple stenosed artery employing velocity slip condition under the externally applied transverse magnetic field. Blood is modeled as Herschel-Bulkley fluid to represent the non-Newtonian character of blood in small blood vessels. The expressions for wall shear stress, volumetric flow rate, axial ve...

Laboratory and in situ velocity measurements have been made on six piston cores taken in the western North Atlantic Ocean. Sediments from the southwestern Bermuda Rise and Greater Antilles Outer Ridge are clays having velocities ranging mostly from 1500 to 1530 m/s and velocity gradients near 1 s -•. In cores from the Nares Abyssal Plain, the clayey sediments have comparable velocities, but int...

In this study, the salt weathering effects on engineering properties and weight loss potential of three types of granitoid rocks were investigated. Sodium and magnesium sulfates tests were performed on core and aggregate samples. The cyclic salt weathering tests on core samples were done up to 90 cycles, while these tests on aggregate samples were done up to 40 cycles. The results showed that d...

[1] Greater understanding of variations in firn densification is needed to distinguish between dynamic and melt-driven elevation changes on the Greenland ice sheet. This is especially true in Greenland’s percolation zone, where firn density profiles are poorly documented because few ice cores are extracted in regions with surface melt. We used georadar to investigate firn density variations wit...

The relationships between thermal conductivity and other petrophysical properties have been analysed for a borehole drilled in a Tertiary Flysch sequence. We establish equations that permit us to predict rock thermal conductivity from logging data. A regression analysis of thermal conductivity, bulk density, and sonic velocity yields thermal conductivity with an average accuracy of better than ...

We used the Advanced Camera for Surveys on board the Hubble Space Telescope to obtain high resolution i-band images of the centers of 23 single galaxies, which were selected because they have SDSS velocity dispersions larger than 350 km s. The surface brightness profiles of the most luminous of these objects (Mi < −24) have well-resolved ‘cores’ on scales of 150-1000 pc, and share similar prope...

# Graduate Research Assistant, Student Member AIAA * Professor, Associate Fellow AIAA This paper describes initial measurements of the near wake of a 2-bladed teetering, untwisted, squaretipped rotor in forward flight. Issues of periodicity and repeatibility of the core are studied using laser velocimetry and flow-visualization on the front of the rotor wake where cycle to cycle variations are ...

The study on the flow behave inside of a ball valve is important for heavy crude oil transportation. Owe to the fast progress of the numerical technique, it becomes an effective way to observe the flows inside a valve and to analyze the flow structure of the oil-water core annular flow. In the present study, the simulation of the oil-water core annular flowing through the valve is conducted...
