Due to the amount of data nowadays, automatic detection, classification and visualization of features is necessary for a thorough inspection of flow data sets. Pattern matching using vector valued templates has already been applied successfully for the detection of features. In this paper, the approach is extended to automatically compute feature based segmentations of flow data sets. Different...

Mixing patterns inside a simulated flat bottom digester were imaged using the non-invasive techniques of computer automated radioactive particle tracking (CARPT) and computed tomography (CT). Mixing/agitation was provided using gas (air) recirculation at three different flow rates (Q(g)) of 28.32, 56.64 and 84.96 l/h, corresponding to superficial gas velocities of 0.025, 0.05 and 0.075 cm/s, re...

We study a minimal model for the flow of granular material on a conveyor belt consisting of a staircase-like array of K vertically vibrated compartments. Applying a steady inflow rate Q to the top compartment, we determine the maximum value Qcr(K) for which a continuous flow through the system is possible. BeyondQcr(K), which depends on the vibration strength and the dimensions of the system, a...

Integrating security policies into security assurance mechanisms to ensure end-to-end behavior is still a challenge. Information flow analysis and type checking are effective methods for the analysis and verification of secure communications and processing. Language-based information flow security models use programming-language for specifying and enforcing security policy. Dependently typed pr...

The airflow in the modeled glottal constriction was simulated by the solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations for laminar flow, and the corresponding Reynolds equations for turbulent flow in generalized, nonorthogonal coordinates using a numerical method. A two-dimensional model of laryngeal flow is considered and aerodynamic properties are calculated for both laminar and turbulent steady flows...

In present paper, dynamic behavior and control of a fluidized bed reactor for polyethylene production has been considered. A double active sites model for Ziegler-Natta catalysts is used for simulation of polymerization reaction. Hydrodynamic behavior of the bed is modeled using a two phase model including bubble and emulsion phases in which bubble phase has plug flow pattern with different...
