We introduce a robust method for computing viscous and viscoelastic two-phase bubble and drop motions. Our method utilizes a coupled level-set and volume-of-fluid technique for updating and representing the air-water interface. Our method introduces a novel approach for treating the viscous coupling terms at the air-water interface; these improvements result in improved stability for computing ...

In this paper we consider a nonlinear two-phase Stefan problem in one-dimensional space. The problem is mapped into a nonlinear Volterra integral equation for the free boundary.

In a recent article [1], the authors report evidence for an intriguing two-phase behavior of financial markets when studying the distribution of volume imbalance (Ω) conditional to the local intensity of its fluctuations (Σ). We show here that this apparent phase transition is a generic consequence of the conditioning and exists even in the absence of any non trivial collective phenomenon. More...

We propose a new approach for practical secure two-party computation (2PC) achieving security in the presence of malicious adversaries. Given a program to compute, the idea is to identify subcomputations that depend on only one or neither of the parties’ private inputs. Such computations can be secured at significantly lower cost, using different protocol paradigms for each case. We then show h...

this paper studied the mathematical method of flow with regard to two-phase boundary layer that created over the iced surface. based on experimental results, skin drag over the iced surface compared with this force that compute with slip condition. based on this results, for iced surface blasius equation solving at non-slip condition, can replace with solving the blasius equation with slip cond...

in this paper, a non-isothermal two-phase flow in the cathode gas diffusion layer (gdl) of pem fuel cell is modeled. the governing equations including energy, mass and momentum conservation equations are solved by numerical methods. also, the optimal values of the effective parameters such as the electrodes porosity, gas diffusion layer (gdl) thickness and inlet relative humidity are calculated...

flow regime in dam's bottom outlet is divided in pressurized flow and free surface flow by the gate located for discharge control. down stream tunnel involves high velocity multi component air –water flow studied by mathematical model. in this research work, we used finite volume mixture two phase flow model. because of high reynolds number, standard two equations k-e turbulence model was ...

rock chutes are natural river training structures and are efficient energy dissipaters too. from the hydraulic and environmental point of view, rock chutes have become important structures in the natural river morphology. a physical study was conducted and flow properties were measured over rough bed materials of a rock chute, which was assembled at the pitlab center of the university of pisa, ...

We study the so-called two-phase obstacle-type problem for the p-Laplacian when p is close to 2. We introduce a new method to obtain the optimal growth of the function from branch points, i.e. two-phase points in the free boundary where the gradient vanishes. As a by-product we can locally estimate the (n − 1)-Hausdorff-measure of the free boundary for the special case when p > 2.
