A mirror-image model of the Lucy Ashton was covered with two different "mesh-type" roughnesses and tested in a wind tunnel. Total drag and velocity profile measurements are presented. Total drag results are also given for a normal Lucy Ashton model with the same roughness mesh tested in a towing tank. The influence of roughness on the wave drag component was found to be small, implying that the "interdependence" of wavemaking and viscous resistance is small. The importance of considering roughness as a local parameter is demonstrated, and the roughness function results agree well with the fully developed turbulent pipe flow results of Perry and Abell, even though the ship boundary-layer outer flow did not follow any recognized wake function.

Poiseuille Equation

The circulatory systems of vertebrate animals are closed, and blood leaves and returns to the heart at the same level. It is often concluded, therefore, that the heart works only against the viscous resistance of the system, not against gravity, even in vascular loops above the heart in which the siphon principle operates. However, we argue that the siphon principle does not assist blood flow in superior vascular loops if any of the descending vasculature is collapsible. If central arterial blood pressure is insufficient to support a blood column between the heart and the head, blood flow ceases because of vascular collapse. Furthermore, the siphon principle does not assist the heart even when a continuous stream of blood is flowing in a superior loop. The potential energy gained by blood as it is pumped to the head is lost to friction in partially collapsed descending vessels and thus is not regained. Application of the Poiseuille equation to flow in collapsible vessels is limited; resistance depends on flow rate in partially collapsed vessels with no transmural pressure difference, but flow rate is independent of resistance. Thus the pressure developed by the heart to establish a given flow rate is independent of the resistance occurring in the partially collapsed vessels. The pressure depends only on the height of the blood column and the resistance in the noncollapsed parts of the system. Simple laboratory models, involving water flow in collapsible tubing, dispel the idea that the siphon principle facilitates blood flow and suggest that previously published results may have been affected by experimental artifact.

The Magnetic Field

Magnetic bead droplet's non-contacted manipulation can be realized in Electromagnetic MEMS, but how to achieve magnetic beads manipulation is the major problem. A new method of multi-layered flat coils coupled with permanent magnet was proposed. Firstly, the theory of magnetic bead manipulation was analyzed and the main factors affected the magnetic beads manipulation was identified; then the magnetic field of multi-layered flat coils and Stokes viscous resistance of magnetic beads were analyzed and simulated quantificationally; finally the magnetic bead capture area was got under different flow velocity. Consequently the feasibility and correctness of this method was verified.

The Individual

Mini-avalanche systems were constructed both in a low-temperature laboratory and in a snowfield, and the behaviour of the flowing snow was observed in each case. Velocity profiles for the individual snow particles were determined and these implied that a viscous force, which has been neglected in most previous numerical simulations of snow-avalanche motion, needs to be taken into account for many avalanches. Kinematic viscosity coefficients for the fluidized snow were also measured using a modified Stormer-type viscometer. Substituting the dry-friction value and the kinematic viscosity coefficient for fluidized snow into the equation for avalanche motion, numerical simulation of natural events was achieved for the Shiai-dani region. Taking viscous resistance factors into account led to the conclusion that the magnitude of turbulent resistance of snow in avalanche systems is probably much smaller than that represented by the values previously in use.

Wind tunnel tests were performed to determine the viscous resistance and its components for a 0.564-CB model from the BSRA Trawler Series. It was found that the sum of the pressure and skin friction resistance coefficients agreed well with the viscous resistance coefficient determined from drag balance tests. The range of Reynolds number examined was from 1.15 × 106 to 5.17 × 106. The results for the viscous resistance and its components were fitted using least-squares methods to various equations. The results were also compared with the results of previous tests done at the University of Melbourne on models of Lucy Ash-. ton and a 0.80-CB tanker. It was found that the skin friction and viscous resistance coefficients had curves of quite different position and slope. Local skin friction distribution showed noteworthy differences, especially at the stern, with high values at the keel and low values approaching the waterline.
