Characterizing the refrigerant side of heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) can be intrusive and expensive. On the other hand, direct external measurement techniques can be unfeasible, particularly in commercial HPWHs for residential applications. Non-intrusi...

The ship?s wake in the presence of a shear flow of constant vorticity at a finite water depth is investigated by expanding the Whitham-Lighthill kinematic theory. It has been established that the structure of a wave ship wake radically depends on Froude ...
