this study aims at presenting a numerical model for predicting grout flow and penetration length into the jointed rock mass using universal distinct element code (udec). the numerical model is validated using practical data and analytical method for grouting process. input data for the modeling, including geomechanical parameters along with grout properties, were obtained from a case study. the...

in order to increase the rate of gas absorption, chemical reaction in the liquid phase is considered. the purpose of this paper was to simulate gas absorption process by a liquid film over a spherical packing incorporating eddy viscosity and diffusivity. second order chemical reaction for two different cases (fast and slow) were considered. the system partial differential equations obtained was...

simulation of turbulence boiling, generation of vapour and predication of its behaviour are still subject to debate in the two-phase flow area and they receive a high level of worldwide attention. in this study, a new arrangement of the three dimensional governing equations for turbulence two-phase flow with heat and mass transfer are derived by using ensemble averaging two-fluid model and util...

This reports the study on the flow behaviour, heat transfer and contamination distribution in a room. For this purpose the 3-D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, energy equation and a mass transfer equation which model the concentration of contamination have been applied. For turbulence simulation the two equation standard k-  turbulence model was employed. By means of SIMPLE algorithm the...

The successive changes in regional blood flows and resistances due to moderate and severe anemia were studied serially in nine conscious dogs after they recovered from implantation of ultrasonic Doppler transducers or electromagnetic flow probes on the left circumflex coronary, the mesenteric, the renal, and the iliac arteries and pressure gauges or catheters in the aorta. Anemia was induced by...

abdominal wall hernias are the most common situations requiring major surgeries. in this study, we report a large incisional hernia, as an incidental finding, in a tc-dtpa scan of a renal transplant recepient. increased flow of activity in dynamic phase and relatively increased and nonuniform tracer accumulation in static phase of the study were observed.

BACKGROUND Renal cell carcinoma most commonly metastasizes to the lungs, skeleton or liver. Metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the breast is very rare, especially for clear cell carcinoma, and few cases regarding this condition have been reported. CASE PRESENTATION The case we presented was a 68-year-old Chinese female with metastatic renal clear cell carcinoma of the left breast 10 years aft...

BACKGROUND Adequate portal venous flow is required for successful liver transplantation. Reduced venous flow and blood flow 'steal' by collateral vessels are a concern, and when there is a prominent splenorenal shunt present, ligation of the left renal vein has been recommended to improve portal venous blood flow. CASE REPORT A 51-year-old man who had undergone right nephrectomy in childhood re...

In this article, the vibrational behavior of a spinning cylindrical thick shell carrying spring- mass systems and conveying viscos fluid flow under various temperature distributions is investigated. This structure rotates about axial direction and the formulations include the coriolis and centrifugal effects. In addition, this system is conveying viscous fluid, and the related force is calculat...
