The force on a bubble, drop, or particle in arbitrary time-dependent motion at small Reynolds number [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
The hydrodynamic force on a body that undergoes translational acceleration in an unbounded fluid at low Reynolds number is considered. The results extend the prior analysis of Lovalenti and Brady [to appear in J. Fluid Mech.

Numerical calculations on the flow near the plunging airfoil and relation with the flying or swimming animals, birds, fish and insects

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2015
We investigated the influence of the airfoil geometry on the performance of the plunging airfoil numerically. In the present study, two circular arc airfoils with the different thickness were used and the numerical calculations were carried out within ...

Numerical Investigation of the Effectiveness of Vegetation-Embankment Hybrid Structures for Tsunami Mitigation Introduced after the 2011 Tsunami

open access: yesGeosciences, 2021
As a mitigation measure against a tsunami inundation, vegetation-embankment hybrid structures received attention after the 2011 Great East Japan Tsunami, and some structures have already been constructed or are under construction in Japan.

Optimization of Sluice Gate under Fatigue Life Subjected for Forced Vibration by Fluid Flow

open access: yesJournal of Mechanical Engineering, 2018
A ‘Sluice’ is a water-flow control gate works with sliding. So, it’s a mill race, flume or a penstock, channelling water towards a water mill, traditionally a wood or metal barrier sliding in grooves that are set in the sides of the waterway.

Effect of 3-Dimensional Airfoil Shape on Unsteady Fluid Forces in Pitching Motion

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2010
A quasi-steady-state approach towards predicting the fluid forces acting on a hand under unsteady conditions yielded errors. The actual motion of a hand in swimming is obviously unsteady, and time-dependent fluid forces must be considered. The purpose of

Dynamometer Testing of Energy Efficient Hydraulic Fluids and Fuel Savings Analysis for US Army Construction and Material Handling Equipment

open access: yesLubricants, 2022
The US Army uses MIL-PRF-2104 SAE 10 hydraulic fluid in its construction and material handling equipment. This oil meets basic performance requirements but has not been optimized for hydraulic system efficiency.

Transient Flow Characteristic of High-Pressure Hydrogen Gas in Check Valve during the Opening Process

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
In high-pressure hydrogen systems, the check valve is one of the most easy-to-damage components. Generally, the high-pressure hydrogen flow can generate a strong impact on the check valve, which can cause damage and failure.

Dramatic effect of fluid chemistry on cornstarch suspensions: linking particle interactions to macroscopic rheology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Suspensions of cornstarch in water exhibit strong dynamic shear-thickening. We show that partly replacing water by ethanol strongly alters the suspension rheology.
