    Entrainment and turbulence characteristics of low-velocity isothermal and buoyant jets 

    Peterson, Jill Elizabeth (1991)
    The current study examined the transition region of axisymmetric isothermal and buoyant jets of low Reynolds number, directed vertically upwards into a stagnant, unstratified ambient. These flows were examined experimentally ...

    Geometric nonlinear filtering theory with application to the maneuvering aircraft tracking problem 

    Bishop, Robert H. (1990)
    A geometric nonlinear filter (GNF) is designed for application to the problem of tracking a maneuvering aircraft. The aircraft tracking problem is a state estimation problem and a state prediction problem. A nonlinear ...

    Average antiplane motion in an elastic solid containing a layer of randomly distributed cracks 

    Koba, Yuri K. (1996)
    The propagation of antiplane waves in an elastic solid containing a random distribution of cracks that are parallel to each other, and oriented at an arbitrary angle relative to the direction of the incident wave, is ...

    Real-time implementation of an intelligent diagnostic and control system for bioreactors 

    Cardello, Ralph Joseph (1990)
    Bioprocesses often require considerable expertise to insure proper operation and performance. However, they are also rich in both data and factual knowledge. Supervision and control can be improved by utilizing information ...

    Finite element studies of mechanical property testing by nanoindentation methods 

    Bolshakov, Alexei (1996)
    Nanoindentation is a widely recognized method for characterizing the mechanical properties of thin films and small volumes. This dissertation reports the results of finite element analyses of elastic and elastic-plastic ...

    Utilizing parallel optimization in computational fluid dynamics 

    Kokkolaras, Michael (1998)
    General problems of interest in computational fluid dynamics are investigated by means of optimization. Specifically, in the first part of the dissertation, a method of optimal incremental function approximation is developed ...

    The effect of shear on the thermal conductivity of non-Newtonian fluids 

    Trevas, David Alexander (1994)
    This work considers the effect of shear on the thermal conductivity of non-Newtonian fluids. These fluids display a variation of viscosity as a function of shear rate, and this study determines whether the thermal conductivity ...

    Finite element approaches to phase change problems with application to casting processes 

    Teng, Yang-Ming (1993)
    An overview of two categories of numerical approaches to phase change problems, front tracking and fixed domain methods, is given. A further comparison of several fixed domain methods is made with some benchmark test ...

    Finite element solution methods for linear and nonlinear beam-on-foundation problems 

    Stephens, Denny Robert (1989)
    The objective of this research is to develop finite elements and iterative techniques for numerical solution of linear and nonlinear beam-on-foundation problems encountered in structural engineering. Although closed-form ...
