Numerical field model simulation of full-scale fire tests in a closed spherical/cylindrical vessel using advanced computer graphics techniques.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1991)
Numerical experiments in unsteady flows through the use of full Navier-Stokes equations.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1991-06)
The numerical simulations of impulsively started flow, non- impulsively started flow, sinusoidally oscillating flow, and, finally, co- existing flow (with mean and oscillatory components) past a circular cylinder have been ...
Interaction effects of a lower heated tube on pool boiling of R-124 from an upper horizontal tube
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1993-12)
An investigation of the interaction effects of a lower heated tube on pool boiling of pure R-124 from an upper horizontal tube was conducted at a saturation temperature of 2.2 deg C. The test tubes used were: (1) smooth ...
Effect of alumina particle additions on the aging kinetics of 2014-aluminum matrix composites
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1991-09)
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) was conducted on 2014 aluminum, 2014 aluminum reinforced with 10 and 15 percent by volume of alumina particles, 2024 aluminum, and a A1/4%Cu alloy. Electrical resistivity and matrix ...
Effect of thermal residual stresses on the stress-strain behavior of metal-matrix composites
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1991-06)
A phenomenological and parametric study was conducted to
assess the effect of thermal residual stresses on the stressstrain
response of a discontinuous fiber-reinforced metalmatrix
composite in tensile and compressive ...
Study of transition phenomena in a straight channel with 40 to 1 aspect ration with and without imposed pulsations Part two: Reynolds number surveys
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1991-03)
A channel with rectangular cross-section, 40 to 1 aspect ratio (height is0.0127 m) and 4.27 m test section length (336 channel lengths) is used to study the effects of imposed pulsations on laminar, transitional, and ...
Comparison of unconstrained and constrained calibration methods.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1991-06)
The idea of using a passive end point motion constraint to calibrate robot manipulators is of particular interest because no measurement equipment is required. The accuracy attained using this method is compared to the ...
Transition phenomena in a straight channel with a 40 to 1 aspect ratio with and without imposed pulsations, part I: near-wall and central region profiles
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1991-03)
A channel with a rectangular cross-section, 40 to 1 aspect ratio (height is 0.01237 m), and 4.27 m test section (336 channel height) is used to study the effects of imposed pulsations on transitional flow phenomena. ...
Demand, energy, and power factor.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1994-08)
This paper briefly presents the results of a study of various utility rate
schedules from across the United States and describes a video produced to
explain some major features of these rate structures. In particular, the ...
Computer simulation of a two-phase Capillary Pumped Loop (CPL) using SINDA/FLUINT
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1997-12)
The heat transfer performance of a prototype capillary pumped loop (CPL) test bed from the U.S. Air Force Phillips Laboratory is modeled using numerical differencing techniques. A commercial computer code was used to create ...
