We present a fast technique for simulating fluid-filled elastic objects with the Finite Element Method. By simulating the presence of fluid with hydrostatic fluid pressure, a quasi-static simulation of fluid can be achieved by applying a force boundary condition to the nodes on the fluidelastic interface. Using a proportional feedback control algorithm, a relationship between the volume and pre...

Finding an environment-friendly and affordable method to remove contaminated soils from Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) has now become an attractive field for researchers, with super-critical fluid extraction being an innovative process in the field of contaminated soil treatment. Extraction with super-critical fluid is a simple and rapid extraction process that uses super-critical flui...

The effect of methoxyflurane 0.5 per cent and 1.5 per cent on cerebrospinal fluid (c.si.) pressure has been studied in patients with normal c.s.f. pathways and in patients with intracranial space-occupying lesions. In patients with normal c.s.f. pathways, methoxyflurane 0.5 per cent produced variable responses, causing small increases in c.si. pressure in some and small decreases in others. On ...

Pipelines laid over long distances in the onshore environment may be affected by excessive straining, corrosion, collapse of soil and other third-party damages. Small chronic leaks cause severe safety environmental effects if left undetected for a time. Any potential leaked water source not detected time could lose considerable volume under ground. Thus, this study aims to determine leakage pip...
