Design of viscometers corresponding to a universal molecular simulation method

چکیده
We present conceptual designs of viscometers corresponding to our new exact molecular simulation method (Dayal & James, J. Mech. Phys. Solids, vol. 58 (2), 2010, pp. 145–163). The molecular simulation method is a generalization of the method of Lees & Edwards (J. Phys. C: Solid State Phys., vol. 5, 1972, p. 1921), and includes a three-parameter family of incompressible flows, as well as compressible flows and unsteady flows exhibiting vortex stretching. All fluids are allowed. The method gives a way to simulate these flows using relatively few molecules, in the absence of a constitutive relation describing the fluid. This paper presents conceptual designs for viscometers that produce large families of these flows. The basic theme of this paper is that the flows discussed here are a better way to characterize the properties of complex fluids than the currently available methods, such as those based on viscometric flows.

In order to reduce the volume and size of distribution power transformer, precise and extended controlling of transformer output, the conventional transformers are replaced by intelligent universal transformers (IUTs). In this paper, an IUT, typical of Iran national grid, with the voltage ratio of 20kV:380 V is designed and simulated. Regarding the IUT implementation, a cascaded H-bridge invert...
متن کاملAcquiring molecular interference functions of X-ray coherent scattering for breast tissues by combination of simulation and experimental methods
Background: Recently, it has been indicated that X-ray coherent scatter from biological tissues can be used to access signature of tissue. Some scientists are interested in studying this effect to get early detection of breast cancer. Since experimental methods for optimization are time consuming and expensive, some scientists suggest using simulation. Monte Carlo (MC) codes are the best...
