It has been long established that Reynolds number effects can lead to flow instabilities and/or transition from laminar to turbulent flow regimes. The nature of free shear jets is well understood and heavily covered in the fluid mechanics literature. On the other
There are countless numbers of lubricated components everywhere in life and an improvement in efficiency would lead to great cost efficiency improvements in many applications. This makes it an area which is subject to a great deal of research. Here, an approach
The passive security systems protect the passengers when the car has an important accident. These systems are based in a good and strength car structure to not deform the passenger cabin. In Gestamp Hardtech are producing pieces with an important strength without
In railway vehicles, air springs are used for isolating vibrations and improving comfort for the passengers. For the prediction of the vibrations in the car body, a valid model of the air spring is needed. A new model for simulation of the
Strong winds produced in storms and hurricanes have a destructive effect on buildings, particulary on low-rise structures such as industrial complexes. The damage often starts when the roof is teared off because of strong suction pressures which are produced near corners and
A study of the stability characteristics of streamwise streaky structures in parallel boundary layer flow above a porous surface is conducted. The analytical solution for the perturbed velocities is sought by applying Fourier transformation in the spanwise direction and Laplace transformation in
A study of the flow of the solar wind past the terrestrial magnetosphere is done, using a simplified model in two dimensions describing a planar magnetopause. The theoretical analysis is made through ordinary perturbation technique, using Navier-Stokes and MHD equations. Process of
