The dynamics of the expulsion of the last liquid monolayer of molecules confined between two surfaces (measured recently for the first time) has been analyzed by solving the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation combined with kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. Instabilities in the boundary line of the expelled film were observed. We show that the instabilities produce a rough boundary for all le...

Preliminary data on transverse energy ‘flow’ and event asymmetries reported by the E877(814) collaborations are compared to ARC model calculations for Au+Au at full AGS beam energy. ARC triple differential cross-sections for protons and pions are presented. Proton flow is produced in ARC, with the maximum 〈Px〉 ∼ 120MeV/c. For central events 〈Px〉 for the pions is near zero, consistent with exper...

Squeeze cementing is a process used to repair leaking oil and gas wells, in which cement slurry driven under pressure fill an uneven leakage channel. This results Hele-Shaw type flow problem involving yield stress fluid. We solve the using augmented Lagrangian approach advect forward fluid concentrations until stops. A planar invasion radial (perforation hole) are studied. The characteristics o...

The flow of a viscous incompressible fluid between two parallel plates due to the normal motion of the plates for two cases, the two-dimensional flow case and the axisymmetric flow case, is investigated. The governing nonlinear equations and their associated boundary conditions are transformed into a highly non-linear ordinary differential equation. The series solution of the problem is obtaine...

In the current study, the effects of Casimir force and squeeze film damping on pull-in instability and dynamic behavior of electrostatically actuated nano and micro electromechanical systems are investigated separately. Linear elastic membrane theory is used to model the static and dynamic behavior of the system for strip, annular and disk geometries. Squeeze film damping is modeled using nonli...
