While turbulent transport is known to dominate the radial particle and energy in plasma edge, a self-consistent description of mean-field codes remains lacking. Mean-field closure models based on kinetic (k⊥) enstrophy (ζ⊥) have recently been proposed self-consistently model this transport. This contribution analyses diffusive relations these by means Bayesian framework for parameter estimation...

the evaporation of liquid droplets is of fundamental importance in a large number of practical situations ranging from technological applications such as ink-jet printing, spray cooling and various coating processes, to a variety of biological and geophysical contexts. in this study, the behavior of the surfaces of glass, plexiglas, aluminum and copper in the evaporation of water droplets is st...

A new high-resolution scheme is developed for convection–diffusion problems in domains with moving boundaries. A finite element approximation of the governing equation is designed within the framework of a conservative Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulation. An implicit flux-corrected transport (FCT) algorithm is implemented to suppress spurious undershoots and overshoots appearing in ...

We investigate the eigenvalue spectrum of the one-dimensional laminar premixed flame in a reactive mixture described by detailed mass-action kinetics. All the physical scales, spatial and temporal, inherent in a reacting system are accurately identified via eigenvalue analysis. The interplay between chemistry and transport is addressed via conducting a spectral analysis of the reactive flow str...

multi-objective optimization is the simultaneous consideration of two or more objective functions that are completely or partially inconflict with each other. the optimality of such optimizations is largely defined through the pareto optimality. multiple objective integer linear programs (moilp) are special cases of multiple criteria decision making problems. numerous algorithms have been desig...

This paper reports results from electrical and thermal conduction measurements carried out on the DNA-gold composite for which the overall conduction is shown to be dominated by the DNA rather than the discontinuous gold coatings. The electrical and thermal conductivities of the composite were about 14 S/cm and 150 W/(m K) at room temperature, respectively. The resulting value of 3.6 x 10(-4) W...
