Control of Underwater vehicle manipulator systems (UVMS) are limited to human intervened tele operation in almost all practical applications. Extending these missions to autonomous or semi autonomous operation requires accurate dynamic modeling of the system. Such modeling assists system design and controller testing of autonomous UVMS. The study performs a dynamic analysis to capture relative ...

Simulation of fluidized bed reactor (FBR) was accomplished for treating wastewater using Fenton reaction, which is an advanced oxidation process (AOP). The simulation was performed to determine characteristics of FBR performance, concentration profile of the contaminants, and various prominent hydrodynamic properties (e.g., Reynolds number, velocity, and pressure) in the reactor. Simulation was...

Self-propulsion of cellular microswimmers generates flow signatures, commonly classified as pusher and puller type, which characterize hydrodynamic interactions with other cells or boundaries. Using experimentally measured beat patterns, we compute that the flagellated green alga Chlamydomonas oscillates between pusher and puller, rendering it an approximately neutral swimmer, when averaging ov...

A framework of analogy between wiretap channels (WTCs) and state-dependent point-to-point channels with noncausal encoder channel state information (referred to as Gelfand-Pinker channels (GPCs)) is proposed. A good (reliable and secure) sequence of wiretap codes is shown to induce a good (reliable) sequence of codes for a corresponding GPC. Consequently, the framework enables exploiting existi...

since knowledge on hydrodynamic torque of a butterfly valve is very important for butterfly valve design, its hydrodynamic torque is investigated in this paper. in reality, the investigation of the loss coefficient and torque from some experiments will take a long time and a lot of money. this paper presents a statistical study of the flow past the butterfly valve in a static analysis using com...

Nowadays distillation is recognized as one of the economical and the most trustable separation methods in chemical, petroleum, gas and petrochemical industries. It is almost used as a first and the most applicable choice in separation methods. In this article the effect of inlet downcomer on the hydrodynamics of industrial sieve tray has been elaborated. The study was carried out by using a 3-D...
