The model computes the fluid velocity along the axial direction in the tube and, consequently, the tangential shear stress acting on the biofilm.
In the model, the ambient air is assumed to move with axial as well as tangential velocity components.
The liquid jet is assumed to move axially while the airflow has both axial and tangential velocity components.
Two load cells located at the base of the wheel measure the tangential forces, which can be used to derive objective force-based performance metrics.
In tangential section the helicoidal arrangement gave rise to the appearance of arcs of material within parallel lamellae.
Studies using tangential radiotherapy with moderate deep inspiration breath hold4 have shown improved distributions yielding a decrease in heart volume and cardiac complication.
Otherwise, the continuity of the tangential stress must be taken into account.
In reality, most of the electoral strength of both parties came from loyalties and anxieties that were tangential to the leaders' concerns.
