In this paper, a numerical scheme is proposed for the multi-fluid compressible flows. This method is applied to the problem of underwater explosion. The proposed scheme is basically the extension of Godunov method in gas dynamic problems to the multifluid environments and is second-order accurate in space. In this method, also, the problem of artificial mixing of two different phases on Euleria...

in this paper, we solve the quadratic $alpha$-functional equations $2f(x) + 2f(y) = f(x + y) + alpha^{-2}f(alpha(x-y)); (0.1)$ where $alpha$ is a fixed non-archimedean number with $alpha^{-2}neq 3$. using the fixed point method and the direct method, we prove the hyers-ulam stability of the quadratic $alpha$-functional equation (0.1) in non-archimedean banach spaces.

hepatitis c virus (hcv) is a major global health problem and one of the most common causes of chronic liver diseases. the current study was carried out to investigate the ability of high resolution melting (hrm) method in hcv genotyping. 40 hcv-positive sera with unknown and 12 sera with known hcv genotypes were collected from different clinical laboratories in tehran as well as rasht in north ...

an interaction potential at different orientation for the ch4 and co2 complex was derived at theb3lyp level of theory and 6-31+g* basis sets. the potential energy surface was computed on somemolecular geometries. the complete basis set limit of the interaction energies were fitted to wellknownanalytical functions. to determine the second virial coefficients b, u(r) is used to obtain themodel’s ...
