The present research examines the unsteady sensitivity analysis and entropy generation of blood-based silver–titanium dioxide flow in a tilted cylindrical W-shape symmetric stenosis artery. study considers various factors such as electric field, joule heating, viscous dissipation, heat source, while taking into account two-dimensional pulsatile blood periodic body acceleration. finite differenc...

In the present investigation we analyze the impact of magnetic field on the stagnation-point flow of a generalized Newtonian Carreau fluid. The convective surface boundary conditions are considered to investigate the thermal boundary layer. The leading partial differential equations of the current problem are altered to a set of ordinary differential equations by picking local similarity transf...

While Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors are commonly used for adaptive optics, they have many other applications. The modern Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor is compact, rugged, and insensitive to vibration, and has fully integrated data acquisition and analysis. Furthermore, even wavefronts of broadband sources that cannot normally be tested with interferometers can be measured with Shack-Hartma...

The Pyramidic wavefront has a very interesting property: its SNR has a significant increase once the loop is closed, similarly to the Curvature Sensor and contrasting with the Shack-Hartmann one. This result in a gain comparing the Pyramidic and the Shack-Hartmann sensors. It is shown by a combination of descriptive and numerical arguments that this gain is of the order of (D/r0) for low order ...

RAY OPTICS DESCRIPTION Nearly 400 years ago, the celebrated Jesuit philosopher-astronomer, Christopher Scheiner, professor at the University of Ingolstadt, demonstrated the focusing ability of the human eye using a simple device known as the Scheiner Disk.1 Scheiner's experiments showed that if an optically imperfect eye views through an opaque disk perforated with two pinholes, a single distan...

A consistent, conservative and accurate scheme has been designed to calculate the current density and the Lorentz force by solving the electrical potential equation for magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) at low magnetic Reynolds numbers and high Hartmann numbers on a finite-volume structured collocated grid. In this collocated grid, velocity (u), pressure (p), and electrical potential (u) are located i...

We present a new approach for the Spectral Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of LowRm wall bounded magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows. The novelty is that instead of using bases like the usual Tchebychev polynomials, that are easy to implement but incur heavy computational costs in order to resolve the Hartmann boundary layers that arise along the walls, we use a basis made of elements that alread...

Direct numerical simulations (DNS) are performed to study the turbulent shear flow of an electrically conducting fluid in a cylindrical container. The is driven by interaction between radial electric currents ($I$) injected through large number small electrodes at bottom wall and axial magnetic field. All parameters, including geometry container, total injcected field, line with experiment J. F...
