Vortex shedding in a two-dimensional diffuser: theory and simulation of separation control by periodic mass injection [PDF]
We develop a reduced-order model for large-scale unsteadiness (vortex shedding) in a two-dimensional diffuser and use the model to show how periodic mass injection near the separation point reduces stagnation pressure loss.

Teaching Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics Simultaneously through Pipeline Flow Experiments
Entropy and entropy generation are abstract and illusive concepts for undergraduate students. In general, students find it difficult to visualize entropy generation in real (irreversible) processes, especially at a mechanistic level.

Metal enrichment of the intra-cluster medium over a Hubble time for merging and relaxed galaxy clusters [PDF]
We investigate the efficiency of galactic mass loss, triggered by ram-pressure stripping and galactic winds of cluster galaxies, on the chemical enrichment of the intra-cluster medium (ICM).

The photochemistry of carbon monoxide in the stratosphere and mesosphere evaluated from observations by the Microwave Limb Sounder on the Aura satellite [PDF]
The photochemical production and loss rates for carbon monoxide (CO) in the stratosphere and mesosphere are evaluated using measurements from the Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) and the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment-Fourier Transform Spectrometer ...

Annular Frictional Pressure Losses for Drilling Fluids [PDF]
Abstract In the paper, it is demonstrated how a Herschel–Bulkley fluid model, where the parameters are selected from relevant shear rate range of the flow and are parametrically independent, can be used for pressure loss calculations. The model is found to provide adequate pressure loss predictions for axial flow in an annulus where the ...
