the effect of boundary conditions on the solution of the inverse problem of identifying the geometry and location of a cavity inside an elastic solid body using displacement measurements obtained from a tension test is investigated. the boundary elements method (bem) coupled with the genetic algorithm (ga) and the conjugate gradient method (cgm) are implemented in this identification problem. a...

A regional model is used to study the radiative effect of boundary layer clouds over the Southeast Pacific on large-scale atmosphere circulation during August–October in 1999. With the standard settings, the model simulates reasonably well the large-scale circulation over the eastern Pacific, precipitation in the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) north of the equator, and marine boundary la...

The Galerkin finite element method is used to solve the three dimensional continuity, momentum and energy equations for laminar Newtonian and power-law model non-Newtonian flow through horizontal circular tube. The governing equations are non-dimensionalized with respect to specific variables and converted into algebraic equations using appropriate elements. To accelerate convergence a combinat...

in this paper, a viscous flow simulation is presented using the lattice boltzmann equation (lbe). a finite volume approach is adapted to discretize the lbe on a cell-centered, arbitrary shaped, rectangular tessellation. the formulation includes upwind scheme and high order descretization schemes for the flux term and collision operator respectively. a consistent open and solid boundary treatmen...

In this paper, we have tried to find a solution for quick transfer of nuclear wastes from pools of cool water to dry stores to reduce the environmental concerns and financial cost of burying atomic waste. Therefore, the rate of heat transfer from atomic waste materials to the outer surface of the container should be increased. This can be achieved by covering the bottom of the pool space with c...

cumulus convection, as a meso-scale phenomenon, results in the release of latent heat and vertical drift of energy that by part could affect the large scale field of energy, humidity, and momentum of the atmosphere. since the current numerical models are unable to resolve the singular cumulus convective clouds that are important from a meteorological point of view, it is used to apply some sort...

Stents are medical devices designed to modify blood flow in aneurysm sacs, in order to prevent their rupture. They can be considered as a locally periodic rough boundary. In order to approximate blood flow in arteries and vessels of the cardio-vascular system containing stents, we use multi-scale techniques to construct boundary layers and wall laws. Simplifying the flow we turn to consider a 2...
