the aim of present paper is to provide mathematical modelling for the two-dimensional mhd flow with induced magnetic field. the flaws in the already existing equations have been pointed out. the results of low magnetic reynolds number approximation are recovered as a special case from the developed equations. as an example, the peristaltic flow for a couple stress fluid in a channel is consider...

fab-less business model in semiconductor industry has led to serious concerns about trustworthy hardware. in untrusted foundries and manufacturing companies, submitted layout may be analyzed and reverse engineered to steal the information of a design or insert malicious trojans. understanding the netlist topology is the ultimate goal of the reverse engineering process. in this paper, we propose...

The structure of fluid flow in a solidifying melt plays a critical role in the quality/properties of the solid. It follows that by controlling the flow behavior, the final solidified material can be suitably affected. Most of the magnetic control approaches used depend on the variation of the Lorentz force for suppression of flow and are limited to conducting materials alone. The application of...

Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells are becoming more popular as an energy conversion device because its efficiency and simplicity in design and operation. Significant improvements and recent developments in the areas of water and heat management, membranes, electrode designs, and, most recently, the interdigitated flow field design, have increased greatly the attractiveness of this syste...

This paper addresses the design of a novel electromagnetic flow meter for use in multiphase flows. The relationship between the magnetic field distribution, the induced electrical potential and the velocity distribution of the conducting continuous phase was studied using COMSOL Multiphysics software (formally known as FEMLAB). The electromagnetic flow meter was modelled to its physical specifi...

This paper introduces the composition and working principle of field service gas flow standard device based on meter. Through analysis uncertainty verification measurement results, it is confirmed that meter method can be applied to flowmeter.

This paper introduces conceptual design principles for a novel class of adaptive structures that provide both flow regulation and control. While of general applicability, these design principles, which revolve around the idea of using the instabilities and elastically nonlinear behaviour of post-buckled panels, are exemplified through a case study: the design of a shape-adaptive air inlet. The ...

The paper presents a design procedure for anti-vortex endplates that are fitted to tip limited blades of the subsonic axial fans utilised in compact cooling units. The authors study the impact of tip leakage vortex bursting on the performance of the studied class of fans. The vortex breakdown occurs in the swirling flows at a blade’s tip, and is found to be a flow feature associated with the pr...

The design of future large optical telescopes must take into account the wind-induced vibration of the telescope structure that is caused by large-scale flow structures and turbulence inside the telescope enclosure when the aperture in the enclosure dome is open. However, estimating the resulting degradation in image quality is difficult due to our relatively poor understanding of the flow insi...
