TLDR
A fluid is a substance in which the constituent molecules are free to move relative to each other, and in a solid, the relative positions of molecules remain essentially fixed under non-destructive conditions of temperature and pressure.Abstract:
A fluid is a substance in which the constituent molecules are free to move relative to each other Conversely, in a solid, the relative positions of molecules remain essentially fixed under non-destructive conditions of temperature and pressure While these definitions classify matter into fluids and solids, the fluids subdivide further into liquid and gasesread more

A finite‐element limit analysis of tunnel stability problems involving cohesive soils
Shyue‐Yuh Leu,Wei‐Hsuin Yang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element limit analysis of tunnel stability problems involving cohesive soils is presented, and a duality theorem is applied to derive the upper bound formulation and to equate the greatest lower bound to the least upper bound.

Managing large oil Spills in the Mediterranean
TL;DR: In this paper, a statistical analysis of oil spill beaching is applied to the whole Mediterranean Sea and a series of probability maps of beaching in case of an oil spill incident are proposed as a complementary tool to vulnerability analysis and risk assessment in the whole basin.
Journal Article
Suspensions far from equilibrium
TL;DR: A review is presented of recent experimental and theoretical work on the dynamics of suspensions of particles in viscous fluids, with emphasis on phenomena that should be of interest to experimenters and theoreticians working on the statistical mechanics of condensed matter.

The effect of sinusoidal fins’ amplitude on the thermo-hydraulic performance of a solar air heater
Zoheir Saboohi,Fathollah Ommi,Ebrahim Rahmani,Tofigh Moradi,A. Fattahi,Mostafa Delpisheh,Nader Karimi +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors showed that the Reynolds number increment contributes to the enhancement of Nusselt number and thermo-hydraulic performance, while it does not affect the friction factor considerably.

Design and Numerical Simulation of the Performance of Acoustic Plenum Chamber of a Marine Gas Turbine Air Supply System
TL;DR: In this paper, an approach to obtain a design method for the size of the plenum chamber cross-section of a marine gas turbine air supply system has been investigated, in which the geometrical dimensions of inlet and outlet channels have been determined using the plane waves theory about a channel.

TL;DR: Nikuradse as discussed by the authors showed that the resistance law of the Karman-Prandtl theory for smooth surfaces was satisfactorily satisfied with respect to the size of roughness grains.
