    production, drilling, injection or export) between the floating production units (FPU) and subsea systems. ‘A top tensioned riser extends substantially vertically from a platform hull to the sea bottom. The riser includes length adjustment at its upper end and is detachably connected to an anchor pile at its lower end.’(Jordan et al., 2006). TTRs are tensioned at the top to resist environmental loading. The tensions needed for the production risers are generally lower than those for the drilling risers

    Due to this regard, it was first considered to be impossible (MacDonald, 1953). Factors Controlling Emplacement of Pahoehoe & A’a flow As discussed above, pahoehoe morphology forms from hotter, more fluid lava, and a’a from critically stressed and highly viscous lava. As already alluded to, Peterson & Tilling (1980) recognised an inverse relationship between viscosity and shear rate; if viscosity is low, a high rate of shear is required to begin transition

    formed by the Sweep event, this will be covered later in the report. Rolls are whole coherent structures that form the stream wise vorticity that causes the low-speed streaks. Low-speed streaks are low speed fluids travelling in a span wise direction and defined as the locus of the points of all fluid particles that have travelled through a specific point in space through time and can be considered to be coherent structures. The low-speed streaks are then lifted away from the wall by the counter rotating

    temperature and concentration are obtained as functions of the problem physical parameters. The effects of these parameters on the solutions are illustrated numerically and graphically through a set of figures to reinforce the parametric study of the fluid flow. Fig.(2) depicts the Variation of the velocity fields f(η) & f '(η) , the temperature θ(η) and the nanoparticles concentration ϕ(η) for different values of the suction parameter S. The velocities f(η) and f '(η) increase; while, the

    explored so far. As a result, liquid atomization has drawn a lot of attention among researchers over the past few years [2]. Though several different types of atomization processes are used in the industry, twin fluid atomization practices have been quite common and effective. Twin fluid atomization techniques can be broadly classified into Air Blast (AB) atomization, Effervescent Atomization (EA), and Flow Blurring (FB) atomization. Amongst these, FB atomization technique is a very recently developed

    SIR GEORGE GABRIEL STOKES Sir George Gabriel Stokes, 1st Baronet, was an Irish physicist, mathematician, politician and theologian. He was born on 13 August 1819, in Ireland, as the youngest son in the eight children of a very religious Protestant family. His father Gabriel Stokes was the rector of Skreen; and his mother, Elizabeth Haughton, was the daughter of John Haugton, the rector of Kilrea, County Londonderry He first educated in Dublin, Ireland, and later he was sent to England where he

    Fluids Lab Viscous Losses in Pipes Objectives: Compare the flow rate/pressure drop characteristics for flow in pipes in the laminar and turbulent regions. Apparatus: The experiment is conducted with the help of a Manometer, with which the pressure drop between two gauge points can be measured. For small pressure differences the water (oil) / air manometer is used, whereas for larger pressure differences the mercury / water (oil) manometer is used. The flow rate of the water is measured in

    1. The boundary layer is investigated for the situation that fluid is passing through an object, where around the object the layer of boundary is formed. Imagine the circumstance that the aircraft is flying in the sky, the wing is cutting through the air. The boundary layer around the wing could be observed, which is a thin and a highly sheared region. It is the layer that looks random and chaotic but also has structure on it. The Boundary layer is a complex structure, which is classified from Laminar
