Bubble Rise Phenomena in Non-Newtonian Crystal Suspensions

The characteristics of bubble motion in non-Newtonian liquids are still not well understood because many parameters influence the terminal rise velocity, trajectory and shape of bubbles (Frank, 2003). As the bubble motion is a complex problem, the degree of the complexity increases with bubble size (Kulkarni and Joshi, 2005). When bubble rises through liquid, the most resistance will be imposed...

Numerical Solution of Reacting Laminar Flow Heat and Mass Transfer in Ducts of Arbitrary Cross-Sections for Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluids

This study is concerned with the numerical analysis, formulation, programming and computation of steady, 3D conservation equations of reacting laminar flow heat and mass transfer in ducts of arbitrary cross-sections. The non-orthogonal boundary-fitted coordinate transformation method is applied to the Cartesian form of overall-continuity, momenta, energy and species-continuity equations, parabo...

Protein structure prediction force fields: parametrization with quasi-newtonian dynamics.

We present an unusual method for parametrizing low-resolution force fields of the type used for protein structure prediction. Force field parameters were determined by assigning each a fictitious mass and using a quasi-molecular dynamics algorithm in parameter space. The quasi-energy term favored folded native structures and specifically penalized folded nonnative structures. The force field wa...

Bubble Dynamics and Cavitation in Non-newtonian Liquids

Cavitation phenomena play important roles in many areas of science and engineering. The most interesting effect of the non-Newtonian properties of the liquid is the reduction of cavitation damage and noise. This article reviews experimental and theoretical efforts to understand such phenomena. The currently available information favors a description of the observed reduction of cavitation damag...
