The numerical simulation of a Poiseuille flow in a narrow channel using the molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) is performed. Poiseuille flow of liquid Argon in a nanochannel is simulated by embedding the fluid particles in a uniform force field. Density, velocity and Temperature profiles across the channel are investigated. When particles will be inserted into the flow, it is expected that the...

in the current study, five different atomistic water models (awms) are implemented, in order to investigate the impact of awms treatment on the water velocity profile and density number. for this purpose, molecular dynamics simulation (mds) of poiseuille flow in a nano-channel is conducted. considered awms are spc/e, tip3p, tip4p, tip4pfq and tip5p. to assessment of the ability of each model in...

by growing the population and need for settlement, many cities have been built on soft sediments and seismic areas. it emphasizes the need for a careful and reliable assessment of site effect phenomena. beyond the methods of studying site effects, microtremor recordings has become popular over the last decades as it offers a convenient, practical and low cost tool to be used in urbanized areas....

Numerical studies of internal wave reflection from sloping boundaries are presented. Previous work (Slinn and Riley, 1996, 1998a, 1998b, 1999) has restricted attention to internal waves that approach the bottom slope in a plane normal to the boundary (normal incidence). This work extends the scope of the three-dimensional time-dependent numerical experiments to examine internal waves that appro...

Over the past few years a major effort has been put into the exploration of potential sites for the deployment of submillimetre (submm) astronomical facilities. Amongst the most important sites are Dome C and Dome A on the Antarctic Plateau, and the Chajnantor area in Chile. In this context, we report on measurements of the sky opacity at 200 μm over a period of three years at the French-Italia...

Strong, sharp, negative seismic discontinuities, velocity decreases with depth, are observed beneath the Pacific seafloor at ∼60 km depth. It has been suggested that these are caused by an increase in radial anisotropy with depth, which occurs in global surface wave models. Here we test this hypothesis in two ways. We evaluate whether an increase in surface wave radial anisotropy with depth is ...

A new approach for for estimating the acoustic pressure in the near field of a microphone based on non-intrusive direct measurement of acoustic particle velocity is proposed. This method enables the estimation of the acoustic pressure inside a domain located in front of the microphone membrane. The acoustic pressure is calculated using the acoustic particle velocity on the frontiers of this dom...
