the steger and warming flux vector splitting implicit scheme is used to numerically solve two dimensional reynolds averaged navier–stokes (rans) equations governing the vortex induced vibration of a flexible riser laterally supported by a spring and a damper. the k–ε model is used as turbulence model to simulate the turbulent flow in the wake of the riser. to update the new position of the rise...

In this paper which is an extended version of an article submitted to the Finite Volumes for Complex Applications V conference, we design a finite-volume based numerical scheme for the solution of the nonlinear balance equations of RNG variants of the well-known k − ε model and the v − f system encountered in the k − ε− v − f model which can be seen as an extension of first order turbulence mod...

Moving Particle Semi-implicit (MPS) which is a meshless and full Lagrangian method is employed to simulate nonlinear hydrodynamic behavior in a wide variety of engineering application including free surface water waves. In the present study, a numerical particle-based model is developed by the authors using MPS method to simulate different wave problems in the coastal waters. In this model flui...

The Standard Model (SM) prediction for the ratio ε′/ε appears to be significantly below the experimental data. Also εK in the SM tends to be below the data. Any new physics (NP) removing these anomalies will first of all have impact on flavour observables in the K meson system, in particular on rare decays K+ → π+νν̄, KL → π0νν̄, KL → μ+μ− and KL → π0`+`− and ∆MK . Restricting the operators contr...

the thermo-hydraulic behavior of the air flow over a two dimensional ribbed channel wasnumerically investigated in various rib-width ratio configurations (b/h=0.5-1.75) atdifferent reynolds numbers, ranging from 6000 to 18000. the capability of differentturbulence models, including standard k-ε, rng k-ε, standard k-ω, and sst k-ω, inpredicting the heat transfer rate was compared with the experi...

The objective of this paper is the numerical study of the flow through an axial fan and examining the effects of blade design parameters on the performance of the fan. The axial fan is extensively used for cooling of the electronic devices and servers. Simulation of the three-dimensional incompressible turbulent flow was conducted by numerical solution of the (RANS) equations for a model. The S...

We investigate algorithms to find the first vertex in large trees generated by either the uniform attachment or preferential attachment model. We require the algorithm to output a set of K vertices, such that, with probability at least 1 − ε, the first vertex is in this set. We show that for any ε, there exist such algorithms with K independent of the size of the input tree. Moreover, we provid...

Strong final state interaction (FSI) effects can play a central role in the Standard Model prediction of weak K → 2π matrix elements. Here, I discuss how FSI's affect the direct CP violation parameter ε ′ /ε by solving the Omnès problem for the necessary K → 2π amplitudes. The main results of this analysis have been reported in a previous paper 1 and are further discussed in Refs. 2,3. The resu...
