Reynolds-stress modelling of turbulent rotating flows
The present analysis shows that the EVM can not reflect the turbulence physics in non-inertial frame. The effects of Coriolis force on turbulence is embodied naturally in the Reynolds-stress transport equation...

Piezoelectric Analogy of Generalized Torsion in Anisotropic Elasticity
We consider a piezoelectric body bounded by a cylindrical surface in which all cross sections are of the same geometry. Suppose on the lateral surface the body is loaded in such a way that the stress and elect...
