    • Enclosed Rotating Disks with Superposed Throughflow: Mean Steady and Periodic Unsteady Characteristics of Induced Flow 

      Daily, J. W.; Ernst, W. D.; Asbedian, V. V. (Cambridge, Mass. : Hydrodynamics Laboratory, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1964-04)
      This is a report of a study of enclosed rotating disks with radial outward throughflow superposed on the fluid motion induced by the disk. The report presents information on the flow mechanics in the axial clearance space ...

    • Modelling of Unidirectional Thermal Diffusers in Shallow Water 

      Lee, Joseph H.; Jirka, Gerhard H.; Harleman, Donald R. F. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1977-07)
      This study is an experimental and theoretical investigation of the temperature field and velocity field induced by a unidirectional thermal diffuser in shallow water. A multiport thermal diffuser is essentially a pipe laid ...

    • Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Plants: Experimental and Analytical Study of Mixing and Recirculation 

      Jirka, Gerhard H.; Johnson, R. Peter; Fry, David J.; Harleman, Donald R. F. (Cambridge : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Department of Civil Engineering, 1977-09)
      Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is a method of generating power using the vertical temperature gradient of the tropical ocean as an energy source. Experimental and analytical studies have been carried out to determine ...
