To achieve higher efficiency target of the advanced turbine systems, the closed-loop steam cooling scheme is employed to cool the airfoil. It is proven from the experimental results at laboratory working conditions that injecting mist into steam can significantly augment the heat transfer in the turbine blades with several fundamental studies. The mist cooling technique has to be tested at gas ...

OBJECTIVE In this article we present a simplified algorithm-based approach to the thickening of the small and large bowel wall detected on routine computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen. BACKGROUND Thickening of the small or large bowel wall may be caused by neoplastic, inflammatory, infectious, or ischaemic conditions. First, distinction should be made between focal and segmental or diffuse...

• The study examines the transport of species in streaming blood through a rigid artery presence multi-irregular stenosis. flow is modeled by Casson constitutive equation. A linear surface reaction considered at artery. Asymptotic expressions are developed for velocity and shear stress coefficients. Extensive visualization velocity, concentration, other characteristics included various stenotic...

in this study, the dispersion mechanisms of aerosols suspended in a turbulent plane channel flow is investigated using a novel numerical approach. a turbulent channel flow is simulated by a direct numerical simulation (dns) method, for which no-slip boundary conditions are assumed at the top and bottom walls, while periodicity conditions are applied on the other sides. dns, in particular, allow...

Extending the current “2.5D” terrain model is a necessary development in GIS. Existing 2D surface information must be extended to 3D, while trying to preserve the topological integrity. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) on the other hand is often fully 3D, which may be excessive for our “extended 2D” mapping needs. We have used the “boundary representation” (brep) design from CAD systems, based on ma...

The objective of this study is to conduct a unified computational analysis for computing design parameters such as axial thrust, convective and radiative wall heat fluxes for regeneratively cooled liquid rocket engine nozzles, so as to develop a computational strategy for computing those parameters through parametric investigations. The computational methodology is based on a multidimensional, ...

In squeeze flow rheometry, the main problem is the boundary condition between the squeezed material and the plates. So, the crucial assumption is to know the location and the shape of the sample part where wall slip may or may not occurs. This question is investigated from experimental results. For this, squeeze flow experiments are carried out to visualize the flow pattern at the walls. Influe...

A three-dimensional computer model of human aortic arch with three branches is reproduced to study the pulsatile blood flow with Finite Element Method. In specific, the focus is on variation of wall shear stress, which plays an important role in the localization and development of atherosclerotic plaques. Pulsatile pressure pulse is used as boundary condition to avoid flow entry development, an...

– We compute the relative localization volumes of the vibrational eigenmodes in two-dimensional systems with a regular body but irregular boundaries under Dirichlet and under Neumann boundary conditions. We find that localized states are rare under Dirichlet boundary conditions but very common in the Neumann case. In order to explain this difference, we utilize the fact that under Neumann condi...
