Simulation of Sharp Leading Edge Aerothermodynamics

Future hypersonic vehicles are likely to use sharp leading edges on wings and engine inlets to reduce drag. The radius of curvature associated with such structures may be one centimeter or less. The very small size leads to high heating rates that can be accommodated using advanced materials. An additional aspect of the small size concerns the basic gas dynamics. At such small scales, the conti...

A hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm for the vehicle routing problem with stochastic travel times considering the driver's satisfaction

A vehicle routing problem is a significant problem that has attracted great attention from researchers in recent years. The main objectives of the vehicle routing problem are to minimize the traveled distance, total traveling time, number of vehicles and cost function of transportation. Reducing these variables leads to decreasing the total cost and increasing the driver's satisfaction level. O...

Reopening the Convergence Debate when Sharp Breaks and Smooth Shifts Wed, 1870-2010

Abstract This paper attempts to re-investigate the catching-up (stochastic convergence) hypothesis among the selected 16 OECD countries applying the time series approach of convergence hypothesis with annual data over one century. To reach this aim, we propose a model which specifies a trend function, incorporating both types of structural breaks – that is, sharp breaks and smooth shifts usin...
