Conference Article: Flow resistance in rod assemblies
Korsun, A.S.; Sokolova, M.S. (Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, Institute of Physics and Power Engineering, Moscow (Russian Federation))Abstract
The general form of relation between the resistance force and the velocity vector, resistance tensor structure and possible types of anisotropy in the flow thorough such structures as rod or tube assemblies are under discussion. Some questions of experimental determination of volumetric resistance force tensor are also under consideration.
