A large scale test rig is used to conduct an experimental investigation into the leakage resistance properties and flow characteristics of labyrinth seals. A novel test facility with multiple cavities that provides 2D, ...

The objective of the undertaken study was to apply state-of the-art Particle Image Velocimetry to measure full field turbulent flow around cylinders, starting with one cylinder and eventually to a quad cylinder arrangement. ...

The objective of this research is to visualize the flow of molten alloys using real-time neutron radiography. Initial experiments were performed using solder (50% tin, 50% lead), with nickel tracer particles, heated in a ...

There are increasing concerns that water quality of the Rio Grande (or Rio Bravo) may be deteriorating mainly due to the recent expansion of the maquilas program and associated population relocation into the Border area. ...

The problem of flow-induced noise and vibration in turbocompressors and piping systems is complex and not readily understood. These problems are difficult to identify and solutions may not be obvious. A working knowledge ...

Flow disruption resulting from interactions between currents and abrupt topography can have important consequences for biological processes in the ocean. A highresolution three-dimensional hydrodynamic model is used to ...

Urban catalysts is a redevelopment strategy comprised of a series of projects that drive and guide urban development. Similar to the chemical "catalytic agent", urban catalysts can arouse and stimulate urban construction. ...
