A numerical model of axisymmetric convection in the presence of a vertical magnetic flux bundle and rotation about the axis is presented. The model contains a compressible plasma described by the nonlinear MHD equations, with density and temperature gradients simulating the upper layer of the sun’s convection zone. The solutions exhibit a central magnetic flux tube in a cylindrical numerical do...

Vortex shedding may occur in tube arrays, resulting in strong excitation forces at discrete frequencies. In the past the Strouhal numbers governing vortex shedding in these systems were determined primarily by experiment. This paper presents a computationally inexpensive method of numerical simulation for the unsteady flow through a rigid normal triangular tube array which determines both the f...

Microscopic particle-image velocimetry (microPIV) measurements are made in the streamwise–wallnormal plane of a 536 lm capillary at Re = 4,500 to study the statistical and structural features of wall turbulence at the microscale. Single-point velocity statistics, including the mean velocity profile, the root-mean-square streamwise and wall-normal velocities, and the Reynolds shear stress profil...

The present study aimed to develop a quick and efficient method for purification of newborn endothelial cells from tumor tissues. Fresh tissues were separated from C57BL/6 mice bearing tumors derived from mouse lung cancer Lewis cells, fully minced and divided into two parts. One part was subjected to collagenase type I digestion with a vortex to form a single-cell suspension, while another par...

 A brass Vortex Tube (VT) with interchangeable parts is used to determine the optimum cold end orifice diameter, main tube length and diameter. Experim...

A straight tube with a smooth axisymmetric constriction is an idealised representation of a stenosed artery. We examine the three-dimensional instability of steady flow plus an oscillatory component in a tube with a smooth 75% stenosis using both linear stability analysis and direct numerical simulation. These flows become unstable through a subcritical period-doubling bifurcation involving alt...

Abstract Compared with low-permeability oil reservoirs, tight reservoirs have more nanopores, complex pore structure, and obvious nonlinear seepage characteristics. Under the macro-scale channel flow, influence of micro-forces is often ignored, but micro-nano-scale become main factors affecting flow. The flow different from requires force between fluid micro-nano tubes. article conducts thresho...
