Experimental study of surface modification in a fully turbulent Taylor-Couette flow
No full textFriction measurements were performed in a Taylor-Couette setup. Drag reduction was obtained with a riblet surface and indicated a drag reduction for a wide range of shear Reynolds numbers, with a maximum of 5.3% at Re_s=47000 (s+=14). Tomographic PIV verified that the friction coefficients are strongly related to the flow regimes and structures. The bulk fluid rotation was changed by the application of the riblets, as the wall-bounded flow conditions at the inner cylinder wall were changed due to the surface modification and is called the rotation effect. A simple model was used to indicate the averaged bulk velocity shift (1.4%), after which the drag changes due to the rotation effect (-1.9%) and the riblet effect (-3.4%) were determined. The bulk velocity shift of 1.4% was verified by PIV measurements. Compliant surfaces will be further investigated to check their required conditions for drag reduction of wall-bounded flow

Transition to turbulence in Taylor Couette flow
No full textThe most recent studies of intermittent state in linearly stable shear flows, like pipe, Plane Couette and Taylor Couette flow, have shown that turbulent structures, created by finite-amplitude perturbation, have an exponential distribution of the lifetimes. Here we experimentally examine the lifetime of turbulent spot in Taylor Couette flow (with stationary inner cylinder) for different perturbation mechanisms and different boundary conditions. We show that for all of these cases, the decay of the turbulent spot can be described by Poisson process, which supports the chaotic transient model for this flow. Furthermore, we show that characteristic lifetime of the turbulent spot increases with Reynolds number faster than exponentially, but does not diverge to infinity. This is in agreement with the most recent studies in pipe and Taylor Couette flows and implies that turbulence is a transient state for all Reynolds numbers (before the global bifurcation). Finally, we show that there is a universal behavior for the characteristic lifetime of the intermittent state in Taylor Couette flow with stationary inner cylinder. This universal series is obtained using critical Reynolds number and aspect ratio as scaling parameters.Solid and Fluid MechanicsMechanical EngineeringMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin
Output Persistence from Monetary Shocks with Staggered Prices or Wages under a Taylor Rule
Get PDFWe analytically examine output persistence from monetary shocks in a DSGE model with staggered prices or wages under a Taylor Rule for monetary policy. The best known such model assumes Calvo-style staggering of prices and flexible wages and is known to yield no persistence under a Taylor Rule. Switching to Taylor-style staggering introduces lagged output into the model’s ‘New Keynesian Phillips Curve’ equation. Despite this, we show it generates no persistence, whether staggering is in wages or prices. Surprisingly, however, Calvo-style staggering of wages does generate persistence, if there are decreasing returns to labour.Output Persistence, Staggered Prices/Wages, Taylor Rule.
Financial Summit: J.R. Briggs & Dave Briggs
No full textDave and J.R. Briggs speak on stewardship of finances.
Dave Briggs currently serves as the stewardship director at Central Christian Church of Arizona. Previously he served in a similar role at Willowcreek Church and prior to that was a finance manager for GE for 27 years. He has developed numerous financial seminars and classes and regularly speaks at churches and conferences around the country. Dave and his wife Debbie had two sons attend Taylor and served for three years on the Taylor Parents’ Cabinet.
J.R. Briggs wears a variety of ministry hats. On a local level, he serves as one of the pastors of The Renew Community. He is also the Founder and Director of Kairos Partnerships and Director of Leadership and Congregation Formation for the Ecclesia Network. He is a life coach, consultant, frequent speaker, and author of seven books. He and his wife Megan, along with their two sons Carter and Bennett, live in the Philadelphia area
Oral history of Kevin E. Taylor
No full textKevin E. Taylor is working on his greatness while he inspires you to walk in yours! He's a noted author (JADED, UNCLUTTER, BECAUSE HE LIVES, IT'S TIME FOR SOME ACTION, ENVY: the darkest shade of green, GET OFF YOUR ASS AND DO SOMETHING and MEET THE HENDERSONS). He's a pastor (Senior Pastor of Unity Fellowship Church NewArk now and Unity Fellowship Church New Brunswick for 12 years). He's a writer and producer for television (22 years in television and more than 20 years running TaylorMadeMultiMedia (TM3), his own video production company. He is a lecturer/empowerment speaker, who has spoken at colleges, universities and community groups for the last 20 years, and he has also been conducting a series of workshops on everything from pitching a TV show idea to uncluttering your life. "It seems like I'm a multi-tasker who's got too much on his hands, but I'm successful at it because I don't try to do it all at one time. I know how to focus on each task at hand. It's about balance."
Brought up in and raised well by his mother in the projects of Washington, DC, but directly across the street from condos housing powerful lawmakers and business owners, the juxtaposition made him a dreamer. From an early age, Kevin E. Taylor knew that better was available for him. "I remember finding a pocket dictionary in the trash. I would learn a new word everyday. People thought it was crazy, but I knew I would need those words. I knew that there was a power in those words. Those words came in handy when Taylor applied for college and his English essay is what got in him into several schools."
Those words helped the English student, who also studied primarily in Accounting and Spanish. Those words helped when he transitioned from a safe municipal position as a Budget Analyst to Black Entertainment Television (BET) and soon became a producer, where he interviewed such icons as Tina Turner, Maxwell, Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, Sade, Diana Ross, Lenny Kravitz, Patti Labelle and later her reunited group Labelle and his personal favorite Natalie Cole, with whom Taylor developed a personal relationship and later did research for and wrote the discography to her 2000 "Angel On My Shoulder" autobiography, which later became an award-winning NBC made-for-TV movie. During his tenure at BET, Kevin created such shows as ACCESS GRANTED, TESTIMONY, LYRICALLY SPEAKING and NOTARIZED, which gave the network its highest day-ratings in its history in 1999 and where he won a Gold World Medal for International Programming for a special (24 HOURS WITH DRU HILL) and a pair of NAACP Image Award nominations, competing against himself in 2001 for his Aaliyah episode of ACCESS GRANTED and his interviews with Mariah Carey and Mary J. Blige for TESTIMONY. Taylor also wrote biographies for projects or featured articles on Anita Baker ("Rhythm of Love" and "My Everything" cd releases), Shai, Jon B., Jennifer Holliday (cover story for REAL magazine), Rachelle Ferrell (The Black Guide) and Tina Turner for the 1996 cover feature of Sister2Sister magazine. Taylor has also done EPKs (electronic/video press kits) for various record labels and recording artists.
Now, Taylor is hosting his own show/webseries (with the help of Kickstarter and a strong following) called NOW WHAT?! WITH KEVIN E TAYLOR. The crowdfunded online series has featured the likes of singers Rachelle Ferrell, B.Slade, Kenny Bobien, Jessica Betts and Kelly Price, actor and playwright Keith Hamilton Cobb, RHOA stars Cynthia Bailey and Peter Thomas, renowned choreographer Desmond Richardson, model/actor/fitness expert Garrain (Steph) Jones, author Victoria Schmidt, wellness icon Queen Afua and many more. The new season of the show will take Taylor on a cross-country tour and will be a series of speaking engagements with featured live interviews and community engagement. Taylor recently released his own autobiography, titled NEVER TOO MUCH: this is my story of big words, big dreams and an audacious big life

The flow in viscous Taylor droplets: PIV in microscopic two-phase flow
No full textDigital microfluidics emerged and established over the last 20 years. The scope of applications ranges from pharmaceutical to biological, chemical and even thermal processes. The practical use of Taylor droplets as individual reaction chambers, mixing vessels or simply as transportation vehicles on process engineered microfluidic devices allows for precise control and process intensification of precious materials or sparse samples. Despite this widespread use of Taylor droplets, some of the fundamental physics of this flow have not been investigated experimentally
