Supersonic flows of Bethe-Zel'dovich-Thompson fluids in cascade configurations
… the dense gas behavior of Bethe-Zel'dovich-Thompson (BZT) fluids in two-dimensional, steady, inviscid, supersonic cascade configurations. Bethe-Zel'dovichThompson fluids are single-phase gases having specific heats so large that the fundamental derivative of gas dynamics, Γ, is negative over …

Metamorphic and Tectonic Evolution of the Paleoproterozoic Thompson Nickel Belt, Manitoba
The Thompson Nickel Belt occurs along the northwestern margin of the Superior craton which was tectonically reworked during the Paleoproterozoic Trans-Hudson orogeny. This work represents the first comprehensive regional metamorphic study of the belt. Three nested metamorphic domains are present in …

A 3-local characterization of the group of the Thompson sporadic simple group
In this thesis we characterize the Thompson sporadic simple group by its 3-local structure. We study a faithful completion, \(G\), of an amalgam of type F\(_3\) with the property that \(N_G(Z(L_\beta)) = G_\beta\). We first assume no additional 3-local structure and use a \(\kappa\)-proper …

Theoretical And Computational Study of Steady Transonic Flows of Bethe-Zel\'dovich-Thompson Fluids
… steady transonic flows of Bethe-Zel\'dovich-Thompson (BZT) fluids over thin turbine blades or airfoils. BZT fluids are ordinary fluids having a region of negative fundamental derivative over a finite range of pressures and temperatures in the single phase regime. We derive the transonic small …
