1. Cavitation and Other Free Surface Phenomena - Brennen, C. This thesis develops a method of solving axisymmetric cavity flow problems using a relaxation or numerical technique.
3. On the theory of surface waves in water generated by moving disturbances - De Prima, C. R.; Wu, T. Y. The wave profile generated by an obstacle moving at constant veiocity U over a water surface of infinite extent appears to be stationary with respect to the moving body provided, of course, the motion has been maintained for a long time.
4. Gravity Waves Due to a Point Disturbance in a Plane Free Surface Flow of Stratified Fluids - Mei, C. C.; Wu, T. Yao-tsu The effect of density stratification p[sub]o(y) and the gravity effect are characterized by two flow parameters [sigma] = -(dp[sub]o/dy)/p[sub]o and [lambda] = gL/U^2, where [lambda]^-1/2 may be regarded as the internal Froude number if L assumes a characteristic value of [sigma]^-1.
7. Viscous Effect on Surface Waves Generated by Steady Disturbances - Wu, T. Yao-tsu; Messick, R. E. A linearized theory is applied here to investigate the viscous effect on water waves generated and maintained by a system of external disturbances which is distributed over the free surface of an otherwise uniform flow.
8. Final Report: Wall Effects in Cavity Flows - Wu, T. Yao-tsu; Whitney, Arthur K.; Lin, J. D. The wall effects in cavity flows past an arbitrary two-dimensional body is investigated for both pure-drag and lifting cases based on an inviscid nonlinear flow theory.
10. Swimming of a Waving Plate - Wu, T. Yao-tsu The solid plate, assumed to be flexible and thin, is capable of performing the motion which consists of a progressing wave of given wave length and phase velocity along the chord, the envelope of the wave train being an arbitrary function of the distance from the leading edge.
11. Small-Time Behavior of Unsteady Cavity Flows - Wang, D. P.; Wu, T. Yao-tsu A perturbation theory is applied to investigate the small-time behavior of unsteady cavity flows in which the time-dependent part of the flow may be taken as a small-time expansion superimposed on an established steady cavity flow of an ideal fluid.
14. Submicron Deformation Field Measurements II: Improved Digital Image Correlation - Vendroux, G.; Knauss, W. G. In this paper improvements to the Digital Image Correlation method are outlined, a technique that compares digital images of a specimen surface before and after deformation to deduce its (2-D) surface displacement field and strains.
20. The growth or collapse of a spherical bubble in a viscous compressible liquid - Gilmore, Forrest R. With the help of a hypothesis first proposed by Mirkwood and Betbe, the partial differential equations for the flow of a compressible liquid surrounding a spherical bubble are reduced to a single total differential equation for the bubble-wall velocity.
