Turbulent swirling flows are important in many applications including gas turbines, furnaces and cyclone dust separators among others. Although the mean flow fields have been relatively well studied, a complete understanding ...

Investigations of polarization switching over broad time and electric field domains, in various modified Pb-based perovskite ferroelectrics, were systematically performed by ferroelectric switching current transient and ...

The ability of a filter to stop erosion through cracks in the core of a embankment dam requires that the filter be graded so that it will restrain movement of particles from the core, and that the filter be truly cohesionless, ...
