The Influence Of Non-Equilibrium Pressure On Rotating Flows, Irfan Rashid Zardadkhan
The Influence Of Non-Equilibrium Pressure On Rotating Flows, Irfan Rashid Zardadkhan
Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations
This study was undertaken to investigate the influence of pressure relaxation on steady, incompressible flows with strong streamline curvature. In the early part of this dissertation research, the significance of non-equilibrium pressure forces in controlling the structure of a steady, two dimensional axial vortex was demonstrated. In order to extend the study of pressure relaxation influences on more complex rotating flows, this dissertation has examined other rotating flow features that can be associated with hurricanes, tornadoes and dust devils. To model these flows, modified boundary layer equations were developed for a fluid column rotating near a solid plane including the …

The Modified Coastal Storm Impulse Parameter, Sayed Gholamreza Mahmoudpour
Civil & Environmental Engineering Theses & Dissertations
The correlation of the morphological changes to the coast and storm characteristics is among interests of coastal engineers. Better understandings of a storm's potential forces ultimately lead engineers to safer designs and minimize the damages. Therefore, a need to quantify the storm potential forces to a storm parameter is evident. The desired storm parameter is to consider all the relative physical factors and is to present realistic results that then can be proven by actual nature response.
The concept of Coastal Storm Impulse (COSI) parameter was first introduced by Basco and Klentzman (2006) and is based on the conservation of …
