High temperatures complicate the direct measurements needed for continuous characterization of the properties of molten materials such as glass. However, the assumption that geometrical changes when the molten material is in free-fall can be correlated with material characteristics such as viscosity opens the door to a highly accurate contactless method characterizing small dynamic changes. This paper proposes multi-camera setup to achieve accuracy close to the segmentation error associated with the resolution of the images. The experimental setup presented shows that the geometrical parameters can be characterized dynamically through the whole free-fall process at a frame rate of 600 frames per second. The results achieved show the proposed multi-camera setup is suitable for estimating the length of free-falling molten objects.

Step-frequency continuous-wave (SFCW) modulation can have a role in the detection of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) at short range (less than 1–2 km). In this paper, the theory of SFCW range detection is reviewed, and a specific method for correcting the possible range shift due to the Doppler effect is devised. The proposed method was tested in a controlled experimental set-up, where a free-falling target (i.e., a corner reflector) was correctly detected by an SFCW radar. This method was finally applied in field for short-range detection of a small UAV.

This paper describes an investigation into the behaviour of drops which impinge upon dry and wet surfaces. This is of particular interest in the context of the wet steam turbine. Two approaches have been made in the studies; these are: (1) Drops were made to impinge normally on to various types of dry, stationary surfaces. The drops were in the size range 300–1500 μm diameter with velocities of 2–9 m/s. (2) Drops were made to impinge on to surfaces moving with considerable velocity at right angles to the motion of the drop. Surface velocities ranged up to 45 m/s. The latter study is of direct interest for the splashing of drops on turbine casings at small glancing angles, as occurs near drainage belts. Analysis of the mechanisms involved is made from the records of high-speed ciné photography.

Section-averaged equations of motion, widely adopted for slowly varying flows in pipes, channels and thin films, are usually derived from the momentum integral on a heuristic basis, although this formulation is affected by known inconsistencies. We show that starting from the energy rather than the momentum equation makes it become consistent to first order in the slowness parameter, giving the same results that have been provided until today only by a much more laborious two-dimensional solution. The kinetic-energy equation correctly provides the pressure gradient because with a suitable normalization the first-order correction to the dissipation function is identically zero. The momentum equation then correctly provides the wall shear stress. As an example, the classical stability result for a free falling liquid film is recovered straightforwardly.
