This paper will address the problem of time marching function approximated solutions inherent in emerging meshfree Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solution techniques. The numerical solutions of partial differential equations (PDEs) of CFD has been dominated by either finite difference methods (FDM), finite element methods (FEM), and finite volume methods (FVM). These methods can be derived ...

The aim of the study was to compare surface loss values after erosion-abrasion cycles obtained with modified surface microhardness measurement (mSMH), focus variation 3D microscopy (FVM) and contact stylus profilometry (CSP). We cut human molars into buccal and lingual halves, embedded them in resin and ground 200 μm of enamel away. The resulting surfaces were polished. To maintain a reference ...

The mouth representation of the human, primary motor cortex (M1) is not reliably identified by surface anatomy but may be reliably localized by means of spatial coordinates. For this report, three quantitative metanalyses were performed which jointly described the mean location, location variability and location-probability profiles of the human M1-mouth representation. First, a literature meta...

In a few words, this thesis is concerned with two alternative approaches to imaging, namely, Function-valued Mappings (FVMs) and Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM)-based Optimization. Briefly, a FVM is a mathematical object that assigns to each element in its domain a function that belongs to a given function space. The advantage of this representation is that the infinite dimensionalit...

In this paper a multi-disciplinary simulation of a capacitive droplet sensor based on an open plate capacitor as transducing element is presented. The numerical simulations are based on the finite volume method (FVM), including calculations of an electric field which changes according to the presence of a liquid droplet. The volume of fluid (VOF) method is applied for the simulation of the ejec...

This paper applies Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) method to study propulsion performance in head and oblique waves. Finite volume (FVM) is employed discretize the governing equations SST k-ω model used for modeling turbulent flow. The free surface solved by of fluid (VOF) method. Sliding mesh technique enable rotation propeller. Propeller open water curves are determined propeller simul...

In the present work, a meshless method called Finite Point Method (FPM) is developed to simulate the solidification process of a continuously cast steel bloom in both primary and secondary cooling regions. The method is based on the use of a weighted least-square interpolation procedure. A transverse slice of the bloom moving at casting speed is considered as the computational domain and two di...

This study computationally investigates the heat transfer characteristics in a double-pipe counter-flow heat-exchanger. A heated viscoelastic fluid occupies inner core region, and outer annulus is filled with colder Newtonian-Fluid-Based Nanofluid (NFBN). mathematical model developed to conjugate exchange properties from hot NFBN. The modelling formulation of given problem comprises system coup...
