An investigation of eddy diffusivities of momentum and heat in circular pipes. (1981)
Thesis
CHEONG-KI, C. 1981. An investigation of eddy diffusivities of momentum and heat in circular pipes. Council for National Academic Awards, PhD thesis.

The theoretical analysis of the present work was based on a thermodynamic approach, using the method of inference. An analysis was made to find the macroscopic turbulence transport properties from the description of microscopic behaviour of entities...

Helical flow of non-Newtonian fluids, with reference to drilling fluid flow. (1978)
Thesis
MORTON, J.D. 1978. Helical flow of non-Newtonian fluids, with reference to drilling fluid flow. Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology, MPhil thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1993278

This thesis Is motivated by a desire to understand better the complex flow of drilling fluids in oil wells. After an initial discussion of the flow and its complexities, mathematical models are considered, and a 'helical flow' model adopted as being...
