Analysis of Topological Chaos in Ghost Rod Mixing at Finite Reynolds Numbers Using Spectral Methods Rao, Pradeep C. (2011-02-22)The effect of finite Reynolds numbers on chaotic advection is investigated for two dimensional lid-driven cavity flows that exhibit topological chaos in the creeping flow regime. The emphasis in this endeavor is to study ...
-
Lu, Jiangnan (2020-10-30)Arrays of closely spaced slender cylindrical-shaped structural elements such as marine risers, TLP tendons, and horizontal pipelines are widely used in many offshore applications. Their response behavior subjected to ...
