Transient Fluid Flow Modeling in Fractured Aquifer of Sechahoon Iron Mine Using Finite Element Method

Considering the fact that a large volume of iron reserve in the Sechahoon Iron Mine in Yazd Province has located under the water table, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive study on water flow within the pit and its surroundings. The conceptual model of the aquifer was created using surface and underground geological information compared with water table data of the area of interest. In t...

INTRODUCTION: Several novel cell culture mechanostimulus designs [1,2,3] have recently been introduced to obviate the strain field inhomogeneity and anisotropy seen with earlier designs [4,5] reliant on transmural pressure differentials applied across a diaphragmatic culture substrate. Despite the apparent improvement in substrate kinematic uniformity, these new designs introduce heretofore une...

Finite Element Analysis of Fluid Flow Using Variational Approach

Finite Element Simulations of Colloidal Aggregates under Shear Flow Conditions

We perform finite element simulations of aggregates in shear flow environments, in order to improve the model of hydrodynamic forces used for discrete element simulations. The mechanistic model for the discrete element simulations implies until now the so-called free-draining approximation for the fluid forces which is a drastic simplification. From the finite element simulations we extract the...
