Serve Ball Trajectory Characteristics of Different Volleyballs and Their Causes

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
A floater serve in volleyball is a technique of serving a non-rotating or low-rotating ball, which is difficult to return because the flight path of the ball changes irregularly.

Semiclassical theory of electron drag in strong magnetic fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We present a semiclassical theory for electron drag between two parallel two-dimensional electron systems in a strong magnetic field, which provides a transparent picture of the most salient qualitative features of anomalous drag phenomena observed in ...

Drag Reduction by Polymers in Wall Bounded Turbulence

open access: yes, 2004
We address the mechanism of drag reduction by polymers in turbulent wall bounded flows. On the basis of the equations of fluid mechanics we present a quantitative derivation of the "maximum drag reduction (MDR) asymptote" which is the maximum drag ...

Coulomb drag in the mesoscopic regime

open access: yes, 2001
We present a theory for Coulomb drag between two mesoscopic systems which expresses the drag in terms of scattering matrices and wave functions. The formalism can be applied to both ballistic and disordered systems and the consequences can be studied ...

Flow Visualization of Spinning and Nonspinning Soccer Balls Using Computational Fluid Dynamics

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Various studies have been conducted on the aerodynamic characteristics of nonspinning and spinning soccer balls. However, the vortex structures in the wake of the balls are almost unknown. One of the main computational fluid dynamics methods used for the

Joe Brainard’s "I Remember", Fragmentary Life Writing and the Resistance to Narrative and Identity

open access: yesText Matters, 2019
Paul Ricoeur declares that “being-entangled in stories” is an inherent property of the human condition. He introduces the notion of narrative identity—a form of identity constructed on the basis of a self-constructed life-narrative, which becomes a ...

Drag of superfluid current in bilayer Bose systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
An effect of nondissipative drag of a superfluid flow in a system of two Bose gases confined in two parallel quasi two-dimensional traps is studied. Using an approach based on introduction of density and phase operators we compute the drag current at ...

Two-dimensional flow of foam around an obstacle: force measurements

open access: yes, 2005
A Stokes experiment for foams is proposed. It consists in a two-dimensional flow of a foam, confined between a water subphase and a top plate, around a fixed circular obstacle. We present systematic measurements of the drag exerted by the flowing foam on
