Using fluorescent microlymphography, we examined the morphology andfunctional characteristics of the microlymph-vascular network in 36 subjects including 9 patients with "compressible" lymphedema (Group I), 14 with minimally compressible lymphedema (Group II), 9 with noncompressible lymphedema (Group III), and 4 healthy individuals. As lymphedema progressedfrom early to advanced stages (Group I...

Internal waves occur at a variety of temporal and spatial scales and are mechanisms by which momentum, energy, nutrients and biota are transported in lakes, estuaries and coastal oceans. In stratified systems, accurate prediction of water quality effects requires modeling internal wave evolution and propagation. Lake, estuary, and coastal ocean models typically apply the hydrostatic approximati...

present paper investigates the numerical solution of two-dimensional unsteady compressible navier-stokes equations by a new scheme based on the finite volume method. kinetic energy preserving (kep) scheme is introduced for solving the supersonic and transonic external compressible flow field on very fine grids (with a number of cells of the order of the reynolds number) without artificial dissi...

We have developed a workflow for computing the seismic-wave moduli dispersion and attenuation due to squirt flow in numerical model derived from micro X-ray computed tomography image of cracked (through thermal treatment) Carrara marble sample. To generate model, is processed, segmented, meshed. The finite-element method adopted solve linearized, quasistatic Navier-Stokes equations describing l...

In this paper we study the hydrostatic limit of Navier-Stokes-alpha model in a very thin strip domain. We derive some Prandtl-type equations for and prove global well-posedness system small initial conditions an appropriate analytic function space.

SUMMARY The numerical simulations of convection inside the mantle Earth or terrestrial planets have been based on approximate equations fluid dynamics. A common approximation is neglect inertia term which certainly reasonable as Reynolds number silicate mantles, their inverse Prandtl number, are infinitesimally small. However various other simplifications made we discuss in this paper. crudest ...

Numerical weather prediction (NWP) has proven to be computationally challenging due to its inherent multiscale nature. Currently, the highest resolution NWP models use a horizontal resolution of about 10 km. At this resolution many important processes in the atmosphere are not resolved. Needless to say this introduces errors. In order to increase the resolution of NWP models highly scalable atm...
