We extend the micropolar fluid theory of Hayakawa and Mitarai, et al. [PRL 88, 174301 (2002)] to dense, relatively shallow flows of spherical grains down an inclined plane on which spherical bumps have been affixed. We update the model of Louge [PRE 67, 061303 (2003)], and show the role played by couple stresses in establishing the solid volume fraction in the core of the flow.

This paper presents a new scheme in the publish/subscribe paradigm. Index-based publish/subscribe is designed to overcome the problems of administration and unwanted message delivery in topic-based systems, whilst not requiring the subscription state network load normally required by a content-based approach. The index-based approach is particularly effective while waiting for unpredictable eve...

Short-period variability in plankton communities is poorly documented, especially for variations occurring in specific groups in the assemblage because traditional analysis is laborious and time-consuming. Moreover, it does not allow the high sampling frequency required for decision making. To overcome this limitation, we tested the submersible CytoSub flow cytometer. This device was anchored a...

The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect two typical supercavity flow patterns (double-cavity and wake-closure) on ventilated geometry supercavitating structure further reveal different mechanisms gas leakage for these patterns. An inhomogeneous multiphase model with shear stress transport turbulence was employed validate investigation by experimental results. investigated quant...
