The lubrication form of the equations governing the flow of a thin liquid film on a horizontal right circular cylinder is derived. The equations are discretized and solved numerically using an alternating-direction implicit algorithm. Simulations demonstrate that the transition from a uniform coating to a final configuration of distinct drops follows a similar evolution for a wide range of cyli...

many studies have been accomplished on the subject of cyrus cylinder inscription, but mythological role of mesopotamian nabu on this cylinder has not been properly studied. the cylinder is damaged on some parts and nabu and marduk are the only remained god-names in the inscription. nabu was the god of writing, wisdom, and to some extent happiness who protected scribes and was believed to be the...

A model based control scheme is designed to regu late the cylinder air charge of a camless multicylinder engine for unthrottled operation The controller con sists of a feedforward and an adaptive feedback scheme based on a control oriented model of the breathing process of an engine equipped with electro hydraulic springless valve train The nonlinear control scheme is designed to achieve cylind...

Cylinder deactivation (CDA) is a technology that can improve the fuel economy and exhaust thermal management of compression ignition engines (diesel and natural gas), especially at low loads and engine idling conditions. The reduction in engine displacement during CDA improves fuel efficiency at low loads primarily through a reduction in pumping work. During deactivation of a given cylinder, th...

Let Γ be a Fuchsian group of the first kind acting on the hyperbolic upper half plane H, and let M = Γ\H be the associated finite volume hyperbolic Riemann surface. If γ is parabolic, there is an associated (parabolic) Eisenstein series, which, by now, is a classical part of mathematical literature. If γ is hyperbolic, then, following ideas due to Kudla-Millson, there is a corresponding hyperbo...

A passive jet flow control method was employed to suppress the unsteady vortex shedding from a circular cylinder at the Reynolds number level of Re= (0.18~1.1)×10. The passive jet flow control was achieved by blowing jets from the holes near the rear stagnation point of the cylinder, which are connected to the in-take holes located near the front stagnation point through channels embedded insid...

In a recent paper, we verifed a conjecture of Mej́ıa and Pommerenke that the extremal value for the Schwarzian derivative of a hyperbolically convex function is realized by a symmetric hyperbolic “strip” mapping. There were three major steps in the verification: first, a variational argument was given to reduce the problem to hyperbolic polygons bounded by at most two hyperbolic geodesics; secon...

In this note we show that there are algebraic families of hyperbolic, FermatWaring type hypersurfaces in P of degree 4(n − 1), for all dimensions n ≥ 2. Moreover, there are hyperbolic Fermat-Waring hypersurfaces in P of degree 4n − 2n + 1 possessing complete hyperbolic, hyperbolically embedded complements. Many examples have been given of hyperbolic hypersurfaces in P (e.g., see [ShZa] and the ...
