Nonlocal Granular Rheology: Role of Pressure and Anisotropy
We probe the secondary rheology of granular media, by imposing a main flow and immersing a vane-shaped probe into the slowly flowing granulate. The secondary rheology is then the relation between the exerted torque T and rotation rate \omega of our probe.

Influence of global rotation and Reynolds number on the large-scale features of a turbulent Taylor–Couette flow [PDF]
We experimentally study the turbulent flow between two coaxial and independently rotating cylinders. We determined the scaling of the torque with Reynolds numbers at various angular velocity ratios Rotation numbers and the behavior of the wall shear ...

Viscoelastic Effects in Multilayer Polymer Extrusion
The effect of viscoelasticity on multilayer polymer extrusion is discussed. In these coextrusion processes predetermined patterns are created with a remarkable breadth of complexity even in geometrically simple dies via elastic rearrangements caused by ...

A transonic centrifugal compressor with a ruled-impeller (that is, impeller blades are generated by a set of points swept by a moving straight line) was used as the baseline, and the impeller blades were redesigned using non-ruled surfaces (referred to ...

Controlling secondary flow in Taylor-Couette turbulence through spanwise-varying roughness [PDF]
Highly turbulent Taylor-Couette flow with spanwise-varying roughness is investigated experimentally and numerically (direct numerical simulations (DNS) with an immersed boundary method (IBM)) to determine the effects of the spacing and axial width $s$ of

Practical design considerations for secondary air injection in wood-burning cookstoves: An experimental study [PDF]
Billions of households worldwide cook using biomass fires and suffer from the toxic smoke emitted into their homes. Laboratory studies of wood-burning cookstoves demonstrate that secondary air injection can greatly reduce the emission of harmful air ...

Rapid Response to Trametinib Combined With Chemotherapy for Infant BRAF‐Fused Chiasmatic Glioma
ABSTRACT Infants, less than 1 year, with chiasmatic gliomas (ICG) present a major therapeutic challenge due to large tumor size, decreased vision, rapid progression, and poor response to vincristine/carboplatin chemotherapy. The majority have a BRAF fusion, which may respond to downstream MEK inhibitors but response time is slow. There are no safety or
