Although lightning is an uncommon phenomenon in nature; it can cause many destructive incidents. In the event of a lightning strike, multiple organs particularly the cardiovascular systems are at risk of injury. Short-term mortality depends on its cardiac effects. In this paper, the authors report the development of myocardial infarction and pericardial effusion after lightning injury, a typica...

When a liquid drop impacts a smooth, solid, dry surface, the drop forms a radially spreading lamella, which can lead to a splash. Previous studies have focused almost exclusively on impacts perpendicular to a surface; yet it is common for drops to impact on angled or moving surfaces. The asymmetry of such impacts leads to an azimuthal variation of the ejected rim, and under certain conditions o...

The splashing of a water drop is a fascinating phenomenon that results from a variety of complex interactions between the drop and the material it impacts. In general, the distribution of droplets of a splash depends on the drop size and velocity; the surface roughness, rigidity, and wetness; and the angle of impact. Given the number of factors involved, it is difficult to develop an analytical...

Introduction: Compared to single voxel spectroscopy, phase encoded chemical shift imaging (CSI) has the advantage of obtaining spectra from a rectangular array of voxels in a single study. However, long acquisition times are required to achieve reasonable spatial resolutions due to the time consuming phase encoding steps, which limits clinical applications of CSI. Hu et. al. (1) developed a tec...

In this paper, for both the sharp front surface quasi-geostrophic equation and the Muskat problem, we rule out the "splash singularity" blow-up scenario; in other words, we prove that the contours evolving from either of these systems cannot intersect at a single point while the free boundary remains smooth. Splash singularities have been shown to hold for the free boundary incompressible Euler...

We present a novel method for creating small scale details as splashes and foam for Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations. In our technique, each fluid particle can become a source emitter of splash particles. The probability of emission is controlled by density decay and velocity of fluid particles. Splash particles are uncoupled, collide only with obstacles and follow only ballist...
