Roughness Effects on Scalar Transport
(American Physical Society, 2020-11-18)We have studied the transport of a passive scalar for passive scalar with Prandtl numbers near unity in a plane channel with rough walls. The study was carried out by direct numerical simulations of the Navier-Stokes ... -
Accuracy of bed-load transport models in eddy-resolving simulations
(Elsevier, 2021-04-28)This work investigates the accuracy of commonly used bed-load transport models when applied in combination with high-resolution Navier-Stokes solvers. Empirical bed-load models predict the transport rate of sediments based ... -
Natural Convective Heat Transfer From the Horizontal Isothermal Surface of Polygons of Octagonal and Hexagonal Shapes
(ASME, 2019-10-01)Heat transfer often occurs effectively from horizontal elements of relatively complex shapes in natural convective cooling of electronic and electrical devices used in industrial applications. The effect of complex surface ... -
Correlations for Natural Convective Heat Transfer From Vertical and Inclined Cylinders
(Taylor and Francis, 2017-01-02)Natural convective heat transfer from the exposed top surface of an inclined isothermal cylinder, with a circular cross section, mounted on a flat adiabatic base plate, has been numerically investigated. The cylinder is ... -

Interpersonal perception and interpersonal spin
(Wiley, 2020-09-25)Introduction Interpersonal spin is an indicator of intraindividual variability in social behavior. Spin is positively related to Neuroticism and is maladaptive, with well-documented deleterious effects on social functioning. ... -
Internal Oxidation of Ag-xIn Alloys at Low Homologous Temperature
(Elsevier, 2020-07-10)Internal oxidation of Ag-xIn alloys (x =10, 13, 16 at%) was studied in an air atmosphere at a relatively low homologous temperature (240 °C), where lattice diffusion is negligible. After exposure, metallic Ag nodules were ... -
Mechanical, Elution, and Antibacterial Properties of Simplex Bone Cement Loaded with Vancomycin
(2020)Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is one of the most devastating failures in total joint replacement (TJR). Infections are becoming difficult to treat due to the emergence of multi-drug resistant bacteria. These bacteria ... -
Substructuring verification of a rear fuselage mounted twin-engine aircraft
(Elsevier BV, 2019-10-01)Dynamic substructuring allows for the reduction of large complex structures into substructures to increase computational efficiency and to isolate the local dynamic behaviors of concern. However, errors such as truncation, ... -
Phase transformation and microstructural changes during the hydriding and aging processes in dual phase Zr alloy
(Elsevier BV, 2019-06-01)The Zr-2.5 wt%Nb alloy was studied in order to elucidate phase transformations and the distribution/redistribution of hydrogen. The study focuses on understanding the stability of the ZrH system; surface hydride formation ... -
Non-Invasive IntraOcular Pressure Monitoring with Contact Lens
(2019)Background: Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the world and the first leading cause of irreversible vision loss. Currently the primary methodology of testing for the intraocular pressure (IOP) is during ... -
Numerical and experimental study of an improved method for prediction of snow melting and snow sliding from photovoltaic panels
(Elsevier, 2019-07-25)Snow accumulation on photovoltaic panels can significantly decrease the output power generated by the PV systems. One approach to this problem is to heat the panels. Although several numerical models have been proposed to ... -
