A numerical study into the physical characteristics of dilute gasparticle flows over a square-sectioned 90◦ bend is reported. Two approaches, namely the Lagrangian particle tracking model and Eulerian two fluid model are employed to predict the gas-particle flows. Renormalization Group based kmodel is used as the turbulent closure for both the approaches; however, for the Eulerian model, additi...

Bridges when it crossing rivers often required multiple piers for support. One of has a limited investigation is the impact on scouring and morphological aspects bridge sharp-bend river. Consequently, crucial to investigate hydraulic behavior water flow in these areas due presence piers. In present study, an experimental program was conducted laboratory flume featuring two-pier within 180-degre...

This paper reports the outcome of applying two di erent low-Reynolds-number eddy-viscosity models to resolve the complex three-dimensional motion that arises in turbulent ows in ducts with 90◦ bends. For the modelling of turbulence, the Launder and Sharma low-Re k– model and a recently produced variant of the cubic non-linear low-Re k– model have been employed. In this paper, developing turbule...

We investigate edge-intersection graphs of paths in the plane grid regarding a parameter called the bend-number. The bend-number is related to the interval-number and the track-number of a graph. We provide new upper and lower bounds of the bend-number of any given simple graph in terms of the coloring number, edge clique covers and the maximum degree. We show that the bend-number of an outerpl...

Using a two-dimensional (2D) photonic-crystal slab structure, we have demonstrated a strong 2D photonic band gap with the capability of fully controlling light in all three dimensions[1]. Our demonstration confirms the predictions [2] on the possibility of achieving 3D light control using 2D band gaps, with strong index guiding providing control in the third dimension, and raise the prospect of...
