While experimental analyses of steady rectilinear locomotion in fishes are common, unsteady movement involving time-dependent variation in heading, speed and acceleration probably accounts for the greatest portion of the locomotor time budget. Turning maneuvers, in particular, are key elements of the unsteady locomotor repertoire of fishes and, by many species, are accomplished by generating as...

one of the most common methods for controlling and increasing maneuverability of projectiles, especially the ones which move at high altitude and in low density air, is using lateral or reaction jets. the resultant force of the reaction jet is related to the jet and flow parameters. for finding their relation experimental, numerical, and analytical methods have been used. in order to change the...

A fully automated portable analyzer for toxic metal ion detection based on a combination of a nanostructured electrochemical sensor and a sequential flow injection system has been developed in this work. The sensor was fabricated from a carbon paste electrode modified with acetamide phosphonic acid self-assembled monolayer on mesoporous silica (Ac-Phos SAMMS) which was embedded in a very small ...

in this paper, construction of triplet atmospheric plasma jet using argon, air, oxygen and nitrogen gases is reported. bactericidal effect of the plasma jet is also investigated. to that end, longitudinal geometric configuration for the electrodes was chosen because it would increase the jet length. electrical characteristics, jet length dependencies on the applied voltage and gas flow rate wer...

Binary systems of Population III can evolve to microquasars when one the stars collapses into a black hole. When compact object accretes matter at rate greater than Eddington rate, powerful jets and winds driven by strong radiation pressure should form. We investigate structure jet-wind system for model microquasar on scales beyond formation region. Using relativistic hydrodynamic simulations w...

Toluene removal by electro-scrubbing was carried out in facilities that operate continuous mode, comparing the performance of packed column and jet electro-scrubber systems, both terms retention absorbent electrochemical degradation. It found about half toluene air flow is retained only absorption. The showed better degradation, while mixing device highest concentrations electrolyte/absorbent, ...

Abstract: To study the influence of turning maneuvering navigation angle on inflow characteristics water jet propulsion pumps, numerical simulations were conducted mixed flow pumps under straight and left right 15 °/30 ° states. By comparing hydraulic performance differences five states, intrinsic relationship between pump morphology was elucidated, evolution mechanism conditions emphasized, co...
