چکیده
A full analytical description of graviosmotic volume flows is presented. This was done with the use of theoretical models earlier developed on the basis of interferometric studies of graviosmotic systems. The description includes both stationary and non-stationary graviosmotic flows induced with solutions whose density decreases as well as increases with increasing concentration. The obtained equations that describe the fluxes may prove especially useful in studies on water transport in plants which occurs by graviosmotic mechanisms.

Volume osmotic flows of non-homogeneous electrolyte solutions through horizontally mounted membrane.
Results of an experimental study of volume osmotic flows in a single-membrane osmotic-diffusive cell, which contains a horizontal, microporous, symmetrical polymer membrane separating water and binary or ternary electrolyte solutions are presented. In the experimental set-up, water was placed on one side of the membrane. The opposite side of the membrane was exposed to binary or ternary solutio...
متن کاملDevelopment of an Implicit Numerical Model for Calculation of Sub and Super Critical Flows
A two dimensional numerical model of shallow water equations was developed tocalculate sub and super-critical open channel flows. Utilizing an implicit scheme the steady stateequations were discretized based on control volume method. Collocated grid arrangement was appliedwith a SIMPLEC like algorithm for depth-velocity coupling. Power law scheme was used fordiscretization of convection and dif...
متن کاملMULTI PHASE COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS MODELING OF CAVITATING FLOWS OVER AXISYMMETRIC HEAD-FORMS
In the present paper, partial cavitation over various head-forms was studied numerically to predict the shape of the cavity. Navier-Stokes equations in addition to an advection equation for vapor volume fraction were solved. Mass transfer between the phases was modeled by a sink term in vapor equation in the numerical analysis for different geometries in wide range of cavitation numbers. The r...
متن کاملNewtonian and Non-Newtonian Blood Flow Simulation after Arterial Stenosis- Steady State and Pulsatile Approaches
Arterial stenosis, for example Atherosclerosis, is one of the most serious forms of arterial disease in the formation of which hemodynamic factors play a significant role. In the present study, a 3-D rigid carotid artery with axisymmetric stenosis with 75% reduction in cross-sectional area is considered. Laminar blood flow is assumed to have both Newtonian and non-Newtonian behavior (generalize...
متن کاملGrad-shafranov Approach to Axisymmetric Stationary Flows in Astrophysics
My lecture is devoted to the analytical results available for a large class of axisymmetric stationary flows in the vicinity of compact astrophysical objects. First, the most general case is formulated corresponding to the axisymmetric stationary MHD flow in the Kerr metric. Then, I discuss the hydrodynamical version of the Grad-Shafranov equation. Although not so well-known as the full MHD one...
