Source: Shreyas Narsipur, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC A nozzle is a device that is commonly used to accelerate or decelerate flow by virtue of its varying cross-section. Nozzles are widely used in aerospace propulsion systems. In rockets, propellant that is ejected from the chamber is accelerated through a nozzle to create a reaction force that propels the system. In jet engines, a nozzle is used to transform energy from a high-pressure...

Accurate, causality-based quantification of global diastolic function has been achieved by kinematic modeling-based analysis of transmitral flow via the Parametrized Diastolic Filling (PDF) formalism. PDF generates unique stiffness, relaxation, and load parameters and elucidates 'new' physiology while providing sensitive and specific indexes of dysfunction.

Stent implants in stenosed arterial curvatures are prone to "Type IV" failures involving the complete transverse fracture of stents and linear displacement of the fractured parts. We present a protocol for detection of secondary flow (vortical) structures in a curved artery model, downstream of clinically relevant "Type IV" stent failures.

FAQs
The slowing rate depends on the boat’s mass, hull shape, speed, propeller action, and water resistance. These factors affect the opposing forces acting during motion and therefore change the net force and negative acceleration. Comparing them helps explain why two motorboats traveling at the same speed may require different times and distances to slow down.
Reducing engine thrust removes part of the force that maintains forward motion, allowing opposing water resistance to produce a stronger net force against travel. Reversing thrust can add another force in the opposite direction. The resulting balance determines the boat’s acceleration, so propeller action must be considered when analyzing changes in deceleration.
Mass matters because Newton’s second law connects net force, mass, and acceleration. For a given opposing net force, a more massive boat undergoes a smaller change in velocity per unit time than a less massive boat. Including mass in the analysis prevents force diagrams or stopping predictions from treating boats with different physical properties as equivalent.
Begin by identifying the boat’s direction of travel and representing thrust, water resistance, and other opposing forces in a force diagram. Determine the net force opposite the motion, then relate that force to acceleration with Newton’s second law. Kinematics can use the resulting acceleration to examine how velocity changes and to predict stopping behavior.
Stopping distance can be investigated by combining the boat’s initial speed with its deceleration in a kinematics analysis. Because speed, mass, hull shape, propeller action, and drag influence the slowing process, changing any of these conditions can alter the predicted distance. The result supports comparisons of stopping performance rather than relying only on elapsed stopping time.
Momentum provides another way to describe the boat’s motion as its velocity decreases. The boat’s mass and velocity determine its momentum, while the opposing net force changes that motion over time. Examining momentum alongside force and kinematics helps connect the boat’s initial motion to its eventual stopping behavior and clarifies the effect of resistance.
Researchers and students can use deceleration analysis to evaluate stopping distance and maneuverability under different combinations of speed, mass, hull shape, propeller action, and drag. These comparisons help identify how force and motion affect control during slowing. The same physics provides context for improving safety and assessing energy efficiency in marine transportation.
