This research explores tourism policy making, from the perspectives of policy makers using grounded theory. It focuses on Leeds, a city in the North of England, which is characterized by its turbulent environment. The paper identifies themes around policy making, including low status, lack of clarity, uncertainty, lack of consensus and congruence and complexity. Its findings indicate policy mak...

in this study, the turbulent kinetic energy redistribution process is investigated. to this aim, the direct numerical simulation (dns) of incompressible flow of a newtonian fluid through a channel at a shear reynolds number of reτ = 180 is used to produce a flow data base. then, these data are statistically analyzed. the turbulent kinetic energy redistribution is studied using the pressure-stra...

In the present study, flow over flat and pooled stepped spillways was simulated three dimensionally. The VOF method and k- ε (RNG) turbulent model was used to simulate the flow over the stepped spillway. The results indicated that the numerical model was acceptably capable of simulating the flow over the pooled and flat stepped spillways for different discharges. Following that, the effect of d...

In this paper, the turbulent air droplet flow inside a single passage of a curved type vane separator has been studied numerically. The simulation is based on the Eulerian - Lagrangian method. For turbulent air flow calculations, a computer code was developed to solve the Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) equations together with the equations of Reynolds Stress Transport Model (RSTM) o...

the aim of this study was to examine the employment status of the elderly over 60. a survey was carried out on the employment status of the elderly referring to the social security organization in tehran. a questionnaire along with interview was used for data collection. the samples were chosen randomly and selected  through the people referring to 30 social security offices in tehran, 15 peopl...

Turbulent flow over an array of wall-mounted cubic obstacles has been numerically investigated using large-eddy simulation. The simulations have been performed using high-performance computations with local cluster systems. The array of cubes are fully submerged in a simulated deep rough-wall atmospheric boundary-layer with high turbulence intensity characteristics of environmental turbulent fl...

In recent years chaos theory has received a great deal of attention among social scientists. Chaos theory originated from turbulent-type of motions in physical systems, but recently its relevance has been explored successfully in economie and social sciences. After a brief overview of recent developments related to chaos theory in economie systems, our paper will present a chaotic model for urb...

in this paper, analysis of fluid flow and heat transfer over the bank of tubes is considered. k-ω sst model is applied for simulation of turbulent flow. in this paper, the improvement of efficiency of a bundle of circular tubes by changing the shape of the cross section of one row of the pipes to the elliptical cross section as an innovative plan is considered. as know, friction factor in turbu...

this paper presents a three-dimensional numerical investigation carried out in turbulent forced convection in a tube with helical ribs. enhancement of heat transfer using helically corrugated tubes has beenstudied experimentally by many researchers but there exist a few published numerical analyses results. the paper also introduces the results of heat transfer and friction factor data for inco...
