The whistling induced by a low-Mach turbulent flow through deep axisymmetric cavity in duct is investigated theoretically and experimentally. experiments include acoustic measurements stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (PIV). paper focuses on the effect of mean swirl dynamics azimuthal aeroacoustic modes. has two origins: one component imposed controlled tangential air injection upstream c...

a computational optimization was performed for a direct-injection diesel engine using three-dimensional modeling. fully transient cfd analyses of different valve profile strategies for the intake and compression strokes were performed to evaluate the effects on both engine performance and in-cylinder flow-field evolution. the turbulence model was used along with the second order linear upwind s...

We propose a frame rate up-conversion algorithm using bidirectional optical flow estimation at each pixel based on a previously proposed Hierarchical Optical flow Estimation (HOE) algorithm. The HOE is extended from unidirectional flow estimation to bidirectional flow estimation in which a 3×3×2 multi-dimensional filter and a motion compensated image method are used for high accuracy of flow es...

In this study the influence of the exit tube geometry on the overall flow properties of cyclones is investigated using detached eddy simulation. The results for different exit pipe shapes and lengths reveal that under certain conditions the outlet has an upstream effect on the flow behaviour within the cyclone. This can in turn result in poor build-up of swirl in the crucial region of the cyclo...

A bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway is implicated in dorsoventral patterning in Xenopus. Here we show that three genes in the zebrafish, swirl, snailhouse, and somitabun, function as critical components within a BMP pathway to pattern ventral regions of the embryo. The dorsalized mutant phenotypes of these genes can be rescued by overexpression of bmp4, bmp2b, an activated BMP ...

Existence of an exact solution of the Navier-Stokes equations representing swirling flow consisting of two fluid layers is proven. It is assumed that the fluid in the bottom layer is injected into the swirl from a rotating disk. This describes the case when a disk melts in an ambient fluid and the melted fluid is removed by rotation of the disk.

this paper proposes a flexible power electronic transformer (fpet) for the application in the micro-grids. the low frequency transformer is usually used at the point of common coupling (pcc) to connect the low voltage grid and utility network to each other. the conventional 50hz transformer results in enhanced low voltage-grid power management system during grid-connected operation. in this pap...
