Context. The smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) technique is a well-known numerical method that has been applied to simulating the evolution of a wide variety of systems. Modern astrophysical applications of the method rely on the Lagrangian formulation of fluid Euler equations, which is fully conservative. A different scheme, based on a matrix approach to the SPH equations is currently bein...

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a computational technique for the numerical simulation of the equations of fluid dynamics without the use of an underlying numerical mesh. Although originally developed for use in astrophysical gas dynamics, SPH has recently been applied to many other areas of numerical fluid dynamics and materials modelling, several of which have particular relevance to...

It is argued that under natural hypothesis the Fermions inside a black hole formed after the collapse of a neutron star could form a non compressible fluid (well before reaching the Planck scale) leading to some features of integer Quantum Hall Effect. The relations with black hole entropy are analyzed. Insights coming from Quantum Hall Effect are used to analyze the coupling with Einstein equa...

conclusion results reinforced the pivotal role of vascular geometry, with respect to hemodynamics, together with the importance of performing patient-specific cfd analyses, through which the effect of different blood flow conditions on the aneurysm hemodynamics could be evaluated. objectives this study aimed to investigate the effects of variations in heart rate and internal carotid artery (ica...

background: several multiphase flow analyses have been developed to predict the fate of particles used in inhalation drug delivery; however, the collapse of droplets during their passage through respiratory tract has not been investigated. objective: to assess the probability of droplet collapse in the upper respiratory tract. methods: a 3d model of mouth-to-second generation airway after the t...

the complete 3d nonlinear dynamic problem of extensible, flexible risers conveying fluid is considered. for describing the dynamics of the system, the newtonian derivation procedure is followed. the velocity field inside the pipe formulated using hydrostatic and bernoulli equations. the hydrodynamic effects of external fluids are taken into consideration through the nonlinear drag forces in var...

We examine the dynamics of a rotating viscous fluid following an abrupt change in the angular velocity of the solid bounding surface. We include the effects of a density stratification and compressibility which are important in astrophysical objects such as neutron stars. We confirm and extend the conclusions of previous studies that stratification restricts the Ekman pumping process to a relat...

Jets are ubiquitous in astronomy. It has been conjectured that the existence of jets is intimately connected with the spin of the central object and the viscous angular momentum transport of the inner disk. Bipolar jet-like structures propelled by the viscous torque on a spinning central object are also known in a completely different context, namely the flow in the laboratory of a viscoelastic...
