Note that the local criterion is not influenced byaxialflow.
From theCambridge English Corpus
For the situation of comparable rotation and imposedaxialflow, numerical solutions of the describing equations are required.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The stability of a viscous fluid between two concentric rotating cylinders with anaxialflowis investigated.
From theCambridge English Corpus
As might be expected there is symmetry about the plane y = 4 and noaxialflowacross it.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This paper is concerned with a theoretical analysis of the stability of a viscous fluid between concentric rotating cylinders with a smallaxialflow.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The rotationally induced pressure difference between the two ends produces anaxialflowalong the tube.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This outer flow, consisting of spiralling inward radial flow and upwardaxialflow, is separated from an inner flow by a cylindrical stream tube.
From theCambridge English Corpus
An imposedaxialflowhad, as expected, a stabilizing effect.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Some of the uncertainty reflects limitations in the evidence on benefits and costs available, particularly for the newaxialflowdevices.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The initial increase in strength of the secondary flow is replaced by a weakening, because the deceleration of theaxialflowleads to weaker centrifugal forces.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Theaxialflowfrom one impact point quickly encounters the opposing flow from a neighboring impact point, causing the flow in this interaction region to turn radially outward.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The weakly nonlinear solution (29a) overpredicts the wave amplitude and length, but the differences are less than 10% for wave amplitudes large enough to cause stagnation and reversedaxialflow.
From theCambridge English Corpus
With theaxialflowopposing the spinning motion of the tube, there exists a parameter range where, overall, the effects of rotation neutralize those of the axial pumping.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Far upstream, this smallaxialflowmust come from a streamtube located very close to the axis of symmetry.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Less known are various industrial applications of these characteristic patterns coupled with anaxialflow, such as cooling of rotating machinery or in continuous chemical reactors.
