The asymptotic boundary layer problem involving an axial
incompressible Newtonian fluid flow past a circular cylinder parallel
to its axis was investigated by Stewartson (1955). He addressed hiself
primarily to the Mangler's (1948) derivation, namely, the
character of the boundary layer on a circular cylinder is equivalent to
that on...
This thesis explores the vibrational behavior of the main components of sound production in the violin using a continuum mechanics approach. The author provides a mathematical description of the regions in the vibrating continuum, and begins to develop a system of equations governing their behavior, focusing on the air in...
The continuum theory provides a framework in which the growth
of a plant root as a dynamic process involving interactions among
transport of water and solute, cell division, and the subsequent cell
elongation can be described. A plant root is modeled as a one-dimensional,
multi-phase, mathematical continuum. The network of...
