A frequency-wavenumber-domain formulation is presented in this paper for calculation of the Green's functions and wave propagation modes in a stratified fluid body underlain by a layered viscoelastic soil medium. The Green's functions define the solid and fluid displacements and fluid pressures due to uniform disk loads acting in either the soil or fluid media. The solution is in the frequency ...

Dynamic behavior of ground supported cylindrical storage tanks (CST) is of crucial importance because of its applications in industrial complexes. Seismic behavior of tanks is greatly affected by the height to diameter ratio, fluid height and fluid type. Five CSTs with different height to diameter ratios, three CSTs with the same height and diameters but various fluid heights and one CST with t...

many diseases are related to cerebrospinal .uid (csf) hydrodynamics. therefore, understanding the hydrodynamics of csf .ow and intracranial pressure is helpful for obtaining deeper knowledge of pathological processes and providing better treatments. furthermore, engineering a reliable computational method is promising approach for fabricating in vitro models which is essential for inventing gen...

high speed wind tunnels are widely used in the study of fluid flow behavior around various objects. the air flow in the starting step of supersonic wind tunnels is transient including strong shock waves caused by the interaction of the tunnel main stream and the boundary layer at walls. to arrive in running step, the tunnel must be designed so as these waves leave immediately the test section. ...

For a hard flying objector contacts with the surface of fluid, there exists a critical contact angle between the flying direction and the surface direction. When the actual contact angle is less than the critical angle, the flying objector will get additional moment in flying direction and be rebounded up to tens grades. This critical angle is determined by the flying velocity and elastic const...
