Numerical solutions based on standard finite volume method are presented for the study of heat transfer and fluid dynamic characteristics in turbulent flows behind a single sided backward-facing step. The calculation of the differential equations is performed using SIMPLE algorithm. For the turbulent quantities standard K-model is used. Predicted mean velocity profiles and reattachment lengths ...

a watershed management program is usually based on the results of watershed modeling. accurate modeling results are decided by the appropriate parameters and input data. precipitation is the most important input for watershed modeling. precipitation characteristics usually exhibit significant spatial variation, even within small watersheds. therefore, properly describing the spatial variation o...

Recent progress in the determination of hadronic matrix elements has revealed a tension between the measured value of ε_{K}^{'}/ε_{K}, which quantifies direct CP violation in K→ππ decays, and the standard-model prediction. The well-understood indirect CP violation encoded in the quantity ε_{K} typically precludes large new-physics contributions to ε_{K}^{'}/ε_{K} and challenges such an explanat...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS A high dietary intake of vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) and vitamin K2 (menaquinones) is thought to decrease cardiovascular disease risk by reducing vascular calcification. The objective of this study is to explore if there is a relationship between phylloquinone and menaquinones intake and risk of PAD. METHODS We investigated the association between intake of phylloquinone an...

1 Motivation This Master's Thesis project considers software for solving periodic Sylvester-type matrix equations. Recently, the ScaLAPACK-style library SCASY was completed. SCASY is a parallel HPC software library that solves for 42 sign and transpose variant of 8 common standard and generalized Sylvester-type matrix equations (see Table 1) which builds on the Table 1: The Sylvester-type matri...

We review several aspects of K-Physics: i) Main targets of the field, ii) The theoretical framework for K-decays, iii) Standard analysis of the unitarity triangle, iv) ε/ε, v) Rare and CP violating K-decays, vi) Comparision of the potentials of K → πνν̄ and CP-B asymmetries. vii) Some aspects of the physics beyond the Standard Model. Theoretical Summary Talk given at the ”Workshop on K-Physics”,...

Most indoor airflows are mixed convection. In order to simulate mixed convection accurately and efficiently, this paper uses a two-layer turbulence model. The two-layer model combines a one-equation model for near wall flow together with the standard k-epsilon model for outer-wall flow. The model has been used to predict the mixed convection by displacement ventilation in an office. The compute...

We consider Itô’s stochastic differential equation (SDE). First, we would review a standard theory under standard assumptions. Then we would see how such a standard theory should be modified under different and more general assumptions and how and what new notions need be introduced to discuss such modifications. Consider the following SDE on R dX (t) = σ k(X(t))dB (t) + b(X(t))dt, X(0) = x (1)...

We have examined the equilibrium binding of a series of synthetic oligoarginines (net charge z = +2 to +6) containing tryptophan to poly(U), poly(A), poly(C), poly(I), and double-stranded (ds) DNA. Equilibrium association constants, K(obs), measured by monitoring tryptophan fluorescence quenching, were examined as functions of monovalent salt (MX) concentration and type, as well as temperature,...
