Sentence examples for confining wall from inspiring English sources

It is of course in its gaseous state that matter is encountered at its atomic or molecular level; in gases each molecule is an independent entity, only occasionally and briefly colliding with another molecule or with a confining wall.

Fór a given working fluid, the rise velocity decreased monotonically as the confining wall was inclined from the vertical.

For the case of a nearly vertical confining wall, the rise velocities were in good agreement with Hestroni et al.'s analysis as long as the air bubbles were nearly spherical.

The drag coefficients of the bubbles were found to be uniquely correlated with the bubble Reynolds number and the Eotvos number, modified to account for the angle of inclination of the confining wall.

The women in the fiction of those earlier writers were defined by their surroundings, by the furnishings of their domestic lives, and seemed out of place without their confining walls.

In this work, the influence of the confining walls on pressure drop in packed beds is studied numerically for moderate tube/particle diameter ratios.

We present the design and study of waveguide structures based on porous silicon where the light confinement is not due to the usual total reflection effect but to the use of photonic crystals (PCs) as confining walls.

The net effect of the confining walls is always to reduce the particle velocity, irrespective of the surface properties of the particle or the relative particle wall separation distances.

The influence of planar confining walls on the steady forced convection heat transfer from a cylinder to power-law fluids has been investigated numerically by solving the field equations using FLUENT (version 6.2).

Comparing to the confining walls, the particle characteristics were shown to have a dominant effect on the flow regime in the voids of the SOP-filled beds, whereas an opposite comparison was observed for the smooth glass beads as a reference.

The presence of the confining walls causes two basic effects on the vesicle velocity: first, the local concentrations on both sides of the vesicle surface are altered by the walls, thereby speeding up or slowing down the vesicle; secondly, the walls enhance the viscous interaction effect on the moving vesicle.
