We consider a shear flow of a scale invariant homogeneous Gaussian random velocity field which does not depend on the coordinates in the direction of the flow. We investigate a heat advection coming from a Gaussian random homogeneous source. We discuss a relaxation at large time of a temperature distribution determined by the forced advectiondiffusion equation. We represent the temperature corr...

The optimal power flow (OPF) problem seeks to control the generation/consumption of generators/loads to optimize certain objectives such as to minimize the generation cost or power loss in the network. It is becoming increasingly important for distribution networks due to the emerging distributed generation and controllable loads. In this paper, we study the OPF problem in distribution networks...

abstract in this study, the effect of suspended load transport on the characteristics of submerged hydraulic jump (shj) in a rectangular channel was investigated experimentally. sediment concentration and jet froude numbers in the range of 0.424%-16.15% and 1.93-4.96, respectively, were considered. tow grain size 0.15 and 0.03 mm were used in the experiments. characteristics of submerged hydrau...

in this study, the effects of strength and direction of the magnetic field on lid-driven cavity flow in the whole range of magnetic field strength variations, which already used in practice up to present (0 to 10 tesla), are studied. the governing equations, including conservative equations of momentum, continuity and magnetic field equations were solved numerically. momentum and continuity equ...

The effects of equipotent fl3-receptor-blocking doses of propranolol, metoprolol and sotalol on distal coronary pressure, stenosis resistance and regional myocardial blood flow (endo/epi) were studied in anesthetized dogs with a severe noncircumferential stenosis of the left circumflex coronary artery. No significant differences between the three blockers were observed for overall hemodynamics ...

Scientific knowledge develops through the evolution of new concepts. This process is usually driven by new methodologies that provide observations not previously available. Understanding of pulmonary blood flow determinants advanced significantly in the 1960s and is now changing rapidly again, because of increased spatial resolution of regional pulmonary blood flow measurements.

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis and comparisons of the performances of the two commonly used models under different situations for distribution load flow. Investigations reveal that the computational efficiencies of both the models are more or less close over a wide range of loading condition. However, model 2 is less sensitive to model 1 for increase in loading conditions, reducti...

Event distribution middleware supports the integration of distributed applications by accepting events from information producers and disseminating applicable events to interested consumers. In this paper we present a flexible new model, the Information Flow Graph (IFG), for specifying the flow of information in such a system. We illustrate the use of the IFG for: (1) content-based publish/subs...

the developing turbulent flow in an open channel is a complex three-dimensional flow influenced by the secondary currents and free surface effects and is, therefore, not amenable to analytical solution. this paper aims to study the impact of three key hydraulic parameters (relative roughness, the froude number and the reynolds number) on the establishment length using computational fluid dynami...

in the present study a quasi 2-d numerical model is developed for calculating air concentration distribution in rapid flows. the model solves air continuity equation (convection diffusion equation) in the whole flow domain. this solution is then coupled with calculations of the free surface in which air content in the flow is also considered. to verify the model, its results are compared with a...
