laminar free convection heat transfer from vertical and inclined arrays of horizontal isothermal cylinders in air was investigated experimentally and numerically. experiments were carried out using mach-zehnder interferometer and the fluent code was used for numerical study. investigation was performed for vertical and horizontal cylinder spacing from 2 to 5 and 0 to 2 cylinder diameters respec...

Laminar free convection heat transfer from vertical and inclined arrays of horizontal isothermal cylinders in air was investigated experimentally and numerically. Experiments were carried out using Mach-Zehnder interferometer and the FLUENT code was used for numerical study.

the flow characteristics around an elliptic cylinder with an axis ratio of ar=2 located near a flat plate were investigated experimentally. the elliptic cylinder was located on the inside and outside a turbulent boundary layer region whose thickness (δ) is 0.38b. the reynolds numbers based on the height of the cylinder cross-section were 15000 and 30000. measurements of mean velocity and turbul...

Classes of vortex formation from a horizontal cylinder adjacent to an undulating free-surface wave are characterized using high-image-density particle image velocimetry. Instantaneous representations of the velocity "eld, streamline topology and vorticity patterns yield insight into the origin of unsteady loading of the cylinder. For su$ciently deep submergence of the cylinder, the orbital natu...

Abstra t. A hara ter-based en oding method is presented for naturallanguage texts and geneti data. Exa t string mat hing from the en oded text is faster than from the original text, with medium and longer patterns. A ompression ratio of about 50% is a hieved as a by-produ t. The method en odes hara ters with variable-length odewords of 2-bit base symbols. An advan ed variant is ontext-dependent...

‎semidiscrete finite element approximation of a hyperbolic type‎ ‎integro-differential equation is studied. the model problem is‎ ‎treated as the wave equation which is perturbed with a memory term.‎ ‎stability estimates are obtained for a slightly more general problem.‎ ‎these, based on energy method, are used to prove optimal order‎ ‎a priori error estimates.‎

We prove that Bat her's odd-even (m;n)-merging networks are exa tly optimal for (m;n) = (3; 4k + 2) and (4; 4k + 2) for k 0 in terms of the number of omparators used. For other ases...

We establish when the two problems of minimizing a function of lifetime minimum wealth and of maximizing utility of lifetime consumption result in the same optimal investment strategy on a given open interval O in wealth space. To answer this question, we equate the two investment strategies and show that if the individual consumes at the same rate in both problems – the consumption rate is a c...
