The process of the tube drawing between two rough conical walls is analyzed within the framework of continuum plasticity. Material behavior is modeled as rigid/linear-hardening along with the von-Mises flow rule. Assuming a radial flow pattern and steady state flow conditions it becomes possible to obtain an exact solution for the stresses and velocity. Useful relations are derived for practical cases where the nonuniformity induced by wall friction is small. A few restrictions on the validity of the results are discussed.

Measurement and interpretation of hydraulic conductivity in porous media is a complicated process, and many laboratory apparatuses exist for different soil types and conditions. To use models for interpretation and prediction of hydraulic conductivity, accurate test measurements are required. A new hydraulic conductivity apparatus is presented that includes simultaneous control of volume and stress states. The apparatus includes the ability to automatically control volume to apply selected displacement boundary conditions while imposing radial flow conditions. The capabilities of the system are displayed using two selected hydraulic conductivity tests on an unsaturated sand–bentonite mixture, which is a swelling soil. Hydraulic conductivity on the order of 10−13 m/s was measured using the new system and compared closely with previously measured values using a similar material. Post-test measurements displayed internal water content, density, and saturation changes that occurred during testing.

The selection of polymorphs of the organic compound 5-methyl-2-[(2-nitrophenyl)amino]-3-thiophenecarbonitrile, ROY, is studied experimentally in the confined space between two horizontal glass plates when an acetone solution of ROY of variable concentration is injected at a variable flow rate into water. Depending on the local concentration within the radial flow, a polymorph selection is observed such that red prisms are favored close to the injection center while yellow needles are the preferred polymorph close to the edge of the injected ROY domain. At larger flow rates, a buoyancy-driven instability induces stripes at the outer edge of the displacement pattern, in which specific polymorphs are seen to crystallize. Our results evidence the possibility of a selection of ROY polymorph structures in out-of-equilibrium flow conditions.

The existence of size effects in small radial flow turbines, such as those used in automotive turbocharger units, has been investigated under steady flow conditions. Three geometrically similar turbines (rotor diameters 101.6, 67.73 and 50.8 mm respectively) have been tested and a ‘size’ effect was observed with the dimensionless mass flow and peak efficiency diminishing with a decrease in rotor diameter. Internal pressure variations were observed in all three turbines which could have a significant influence in relation to blade fatigue failure.
