rayleigh-taylor (rt) instability has a growing importance in many fields including aircraft industry and astrophysics. the development and the growth of rt instability were investigated using sinusoidal disturbances with different wavelength at the interface of two fluids. numerical simulations were performed by solving navier-stokes unsteady equations with the vof formulation. results of the 2...

in the management and evaluation of asthma, simple instruments for measurements of peak expiratory flow rate (pefr) are necessary. the aim of this study was to determine normal pefr of the healthy children in babol, iran. this study was randomly done on 1050 students (primary and secondary schools) in babol. mini-wright peak flow meter was used for measurement of pefr. the range of age, weight ...

background: magnetic nanoparticles in a variable magnetic field are able to produce heat. this heat (42-45°c) has more selective effect on fast dividing cancer cells than normal tissues. methods: in this work magnetite nanoparticles have been prepared via co-precipitation and phase identification was performed by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd). magnetic parameters of the prepared nanoparticles ...

background: the interaction between the blood and the vessel wall is of great clinical interest in studying cardiovascular diseases, the major causes of death in developed countries. objective: to understand the effects of incorporating fluid-structure interaction into the simulation of blood flow through an anatomically realistic model of abdominal aorta and renal arteries reconstructed from c...

exact solution for steady two-dimensional flow of an incompressible magma is obtained. themagmatic flow is studied by considering the magma as a second grade fluid. the governing partialdifferential equations are transformed to ordinary differential equations by symmetry transformations. resultsare discussed through graphs to understand the rheology of the flowing magma

The typical installation of a heat exchange device usually involves a flow contraction at the core entrance and a flow expansion at the core exit. Repeated flow Contraction and expansion are experienced in the flow passages of some compact heat exchangers. The latter refers to the flow passages in the plate-fin type with louvered fins or stripped fins and in the tubular type with dimpled-circul...

flow regime in dam's bottom outlet is divided in pressurized flow and free surface flow by the gate located for discharge control. down stream tunnel involves high velocity multi component air –water flow studied by mathematical model. in this research work, we used finite volume mixture two phase flow model. because of high reynolds number, standard two equations k-e turbulence model was ...

Two-phase flow regimes are affected by conduit position, alignment, geometry, flow direction, physical characteristics, and flow rate of each phase as well as the heat flux toward the boundaries. Due to the importance of two-phase flow, numerous regimes have been identified. The first step in studying micro-bubble formation inside a venturi tube is to recognize the type of flow regimes. In this...

Different flow patterns of downward gas-liquid two-phaseflow using simple mixer are studied in an experimental manner. An experimental setup is designed and fabricated to allow the visual observation of downward two-phase flow patterns and their transitions. The flow patterns are recorded by a 1200 frames per second high speed video camera. The quality of downward two-phase flow patterns photos...
