In a confined simple shear flow, the macromolecules of polymeric liquid reorient near walls so that measured viscosity decreases. For instance, in small-amplitude oscillatory real part complex decreases with confinement, and macromolecular orientation explains this. These effects oscillation have been explained analytically for rigid dumbbell suspension and, summation coefficients determined. B...

Coronary blood vessels are compressed by the contracting myocardium. This leads to oscillations in flow in especially the subendocardium. We examined the effects of steady and oscillating flow on isolated, cannulated subendocardial and subepicardial porcine arterioles. Steady flow-induced dilation in both vessel types, up to 12.9+/-0.8% of the passive diameter in subendocardials and 9.6+/-1.4% ...

In this paper, in order to understand the flow-pipe interaction more clearly, the variations on flow pattern around semi-buried pipelines due to steady current have physically and numerically been investigated. In physical modeling section, the experiments have been carried out in a flume with 10 meter length, 0.3 meter width and 0.5 meter depth using a P.V.C pipe with 6.35 cm in diameter (for ...

Simulation of a process and analysis of its resulting data in both dynamic and steady-state conditions are fundamental steps in understanding the process in order to design and efficient control of system as well as implementing operational cost reduction scheme. In the present paper, steady and unsteady state simulation of Amir Kabir1, 3 butadiene purification units has been done by using Aspe...

Quantitative changes in groundwater and crises resulting from uncontrolled water extraction have turned water resources management into one of the supply-demand dilemmas in arid regions. The present study evaluated the quantitative situation of water resources in the Ardestan Plain adjoining the Ardestan desert by using the MODFLOW mathematical model. Simulation of groundwater flow in the stead...

Experimental investigations were conducted to determine the influence of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic channels containing aligned circular obstacles (with diameters of 172 µm and 132 µm) on the flow velocity and pressure drop under steady-state flow conditions. A significant PDMS bulging was observed when the fluid flow initially contacted the obstacles, but this phenomenon decrease...
