• Viscous streaming-enhanced inertial particle transport 

  Parthasarathy, Tejaswin (2018-12-13)

  Fluidic devices operating at the micro- and milli-meter scales employ several fundamental tasks involving pumping, mixing, separation, sorting, storing and transport of different fluids (or) species. An attractive fluid ...

• Thermomechanics of helical strands and helical-fiber-reinforced rods 

  Zhang, Dansong (2018-12-07)

  Helical strands, or helically wound cables, are made of layers of individual wires wrapped around a common central axis. They are seen in ropes and power transmission cables. Similar structures are also present in biological ...

• The spectral characteristics of wind-farm power output 

  Tobin, Nicolas (2018-12-03)

  Over time-scales short enough that wind is relatively steady (.10 minutes), wind-power variability is due to atmospheric turbulence. Power fluctuations at time scales such as these are important for maintaining frequency ...
