Unsteady momentum fluxes in two-phase flow and the vibration of nuclear reactor components
(Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, [1968], 1968)The steady and unsteady components of the momentum flux in a twophase flow have been measured at the exit of a vertical pipe. Measured momentum flux data has been machine processed by standard random vibration techniques ... -
Utilization-Aware Adaptive Back-Pressure Traffic Signal Control
(2015-10-07)Back-pressure control of traffic signal, which computes the control phase to apply based on the real-time queue lengths, has been proposed recently. Features of it include (i) provably maximum stability, (ii) low ... -
Void volumes in subcooled boiling systems
(Cambridge, Mass. : M.I.T. Division of Industrial Cooperation, [1958], 1958)Introduction: Knowledge of the pressure drop in a channel and the resulting flow redistribution is essential in predicting the performance of a nuclear reactor. The pressure drop in a channel which is experiencing boiling ... -
Vortex-induced vibrations of a cylinder with tripping wires
(Cambridge University Press, 2001)Thin wires are attached on the outer surface and parallel to the axis of a smooth circular cylinder in a steady cross-stream, modelling the effect of protrusions and attachments. The impact of the wires on wake properties, ... -
Vortical patterns behind a tapered cylinder oscillating transversely
(Cambridge University Press, 1998)Visualization studies of the flow behind an oscillating tapered cylinder are performed at Reynolds numbers from 400 to 1500. The cylinder has taper ratio 40:1 and is moving at constant forward speed U while being forced ...
