Theodor Meyer—Lost pioneer of gas dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Theodor Meyer’s 1908 doctoral dissertation, with Ludwig Prandtl (1875–1953) as his advisor, introduced much of what has now become basic gas dynamics: not only the Prandtl–Meyer expansion but also the oblique-shock-wave theory as well. It is arguably the most influential dissertation in all of fluid dynamics. Yet no biography or even a photograph of Meyer has been available in the intervening century. This biography provides some insight into his character and covers his education, dissertation, World War I combat service and long career as an engineer and a teacher of math and physics. & 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Computational investigation of ginsenoside F1 from Panax ginseng Meyer as p38 MAP Kinase Inhibitor: Molecular docking and dynamics simulations, ADMET analysis, and drug likeness prediction.
Ginsenoside F1 is a biologically active compound identified potential from Korean Panax ginseng Meyer. In the present study, the potential targets of ginsenoside F1 were investigated by computational target fishing approaches including ADMET prediction, biological activity prediction from chemical structure, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics methods. Results were suggested to express th...
متن کاملA first-principles based force-field for Li+ and OH- in ethanolic solution.
We report on the development of force-field parameters for accurately modeling lithium and hydroxide ions in ethanol in solution. Based on quantum calculations of small molecular clusters mimicking the solvent structure of individual ions as well as the solvated LiOH dimer, significant improvements of off-the-shelf force-fields are obtained. The quality of our model is demonstrated by compariso...

متن کاملVARIATIONAL HOMOTOPY PERTURBATION METHOD FOR SOLVING THE NONLINEAR GAS DYNAMICS EQUATION
A. Noor et al. [7] analyze a technique by combining the variational iteration method and the homotopy perturbation method which is called the variational homotopy perturbation method (VHPM) for solving higher dimensional initial boundary value problems. In this paper, we consider the VHPM to obtain exact solution to Gas Dynamics equation.
متن کاملMarket Based Analysis of Natural Gas and Electricity Export via System Dynamics
By increasing the extraction of natural gas, its role in the restructured power systems is being expanded, due to its lower pollution. Iran has the second largest reserves of natural gas in the world and exports it to different countries. This paper represents long run analysis of natural gas export from Iran to Turkey as a case study, considering direct transfer and exporting via the power mar...
