Unsteady Motions of Cylindrical Bath Caused by Offset Bottom Gas Injection

Failed retinal surgery caused by intraocular gas injection.

Four patients developed inferior retinal redetachment following initially successful surgery which included intraocular injection of air and sulphahexafluoride (SF6) mixture. In each case the intravitreal gas bubble produced vitreoretinal traction which opened inferior retinal breaks and led to retinal separation. Cautious use of intraocular gas is advised when bullous upper rhegmatogenous reti...

Characteristics of unsteady combustion around hypersonic cylindrical projectiles

A series of simulations were carried out to reproduce unsteady combustion around the hypervelocity cylindrical projectiles. A simplified two-step chemical reaction model was used to handle the reactions behind the bow shock. The simulations were examined with various parameters, such as projectile speed, initial pressure, and projectile diameter, and the unsteady mode of the Large-Disturbance r...

Dual Polarization Synthesis and Optimization of Cylindrical Offset Reflector Antenna for Cosecant-squared Radiation Pattern

This paper presents the shaping optimization of an S-band cylindrical offset reflector antenna with cosecant-squared radiation pattern in elevation plane. The cross section of the antenna is mathematically modeled by a polynomial function and optimized by the genetic algorithm to obtain the desired pattern for both TE and TM polarizations. The physical optics method together with the uniform th...

Gas-flow animation by unsteady heating in a microchannel

We study the flow-field generated in a one-dimensional wall-bounded gas layer due to an arbitrary small-amplitude time variation in the temperature of its boundaries. Using the Fourier transform technique, analytical results are obtained for the slip-flow/Navier–Stokes limit. These results are complemented by low-variance simulations of the Boltzmann equation, which are useful for establishing ...
