This paper focuses on the notion of suitable weak solutions for the three-dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes equations and discusses the relevance of this notion to Computational Fluid Dynamics. The purpose of the paper is twofold (i) to recall basic mathematical properties of the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and to show how they relate to LES (ii) to introduce...

The successes of modern medicine are intimately connected to the ever-increasing use of biomedical devices such as those used for vital functions management. Catheters of different types are the most common assist devices utilized every year. Current materials from which such medical devices are made include polyurethane, Teflon®, silicone rubber, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride...

It is shown that a new mixed nonlinear/eddy viscosity LES model reproduces profiles better than a number of competing nonlinear and mixed models for plane channel flow. The objective is an LES method that produces a fully resolved turbulent boundary layer and could be applied to a variety of aerospace problems that are currently studied with RANS, RANS-LES, or DES methods that lack a true turbu...

A new mechanism for the formation of doped polyaniline is presented. Besides providing suitable structural and spectroscopic parameters, the new mechanism allows for the rationalization of the experimentally observed equilibrium between polaron and bipolaron defects in emeraldine salt. The magnetic behavior and the "metallic island" model for conduction in doped polyaniline are also theoretical...
