Abstract : The accurate calculation of boundary shear stress is very important to the deep understanding of sediment transportation and river evolution. The current research is limited to straight and mildly curved channels, while for a sharply-curved channel, the flow is complex accompanied by transverse circulation and large transverse slope which was affected by the dual effect of gravity and centrifugal force. As the boundary shear stress was affected by many factors, the applicability of differentcalc Full article
Abstract : It has been showed directly or indirectly that the lubricant is possible to be sucked back into the mechanical seal with dimples or grooves in the existing studies.This phenomenon,termed "outlet suctio" in this paper,may decrease the leakage.Further studies are still required for this phenomenon and its mechanism.A three-dimensional fluid numerical simulation,based on the multiphase flow cavitation model in Fluent,was developed for the mechanical seal with inclined elliptical dimples.The causes Full article
