Partitioned fluid-structure interaction simulations of the arterial system are difficult due to the incompressibility of the fluid and the shape of the domain. The interface artificial compressibility method (IAC) mitigates the incompressibility constraint by adding a source term to the continuity equation in the fluid domain adjacent to the fluid-structure interface. This source term imitates ...

An Artificial Compressibility Characteristic Based Split Scheme (CBS-AC) employed in FEM is used to predict the flow pattern in Cavopulmonary vascular system. Such type of flow is very complex due to varying nature of flow through SVC (Super Vena Cava) and IVC (Inferior Vena Cava), confluence at T-junction, recirculation etc,. In this work, numerical simulations are performed to extend the appl...

A filtration devise was developed to assess compressibility of fouling layers in membrane bioreactors. The system consists of a flat sheet membrane with air scouring operated at constant transmembrane pressure to assess the influence of pressure on resistance of fouling layers. By fitting a mathematical model, three model parameters were obtained; a back transport parameter describing the kinet...

The widespread use of multi-detector CT scanners has been associated with a remarkable increase in the number of CT slices as well as a substantial decrease in the average thickness of individual slices. This increased number of thinner slices has created a marked increase in archival and network bandwidth requirements associated with storage and transmission of these studies. We demonstrate th...

In the era of e-commerce while buying furniture online the customers obviously feel the need for visual representation of the arrangement of their furniture. Even when doing interiors of the house it's difficult to just rely on assumptions about best layouts possible and professional help may become quite expensive. In this project, we make use of Genetic Algorithm (GA) which is an Artificial I...

This paper presents the compressibility of tropical peat reinforced with cylindrical cement columns. When a cement column is installed vertically in peat, its compressibility is reduced because of the hardened skeleton matrix formed by cement particles bonding with adjacent soil particles in the presence of pore water. The effects of the cement column diameter on the compressibility have been i...

A class of neural filter for image enhancement is proposed in this paper. The proposed intelligent filter is carried out in two stages. In first stage the corrupted image is filtered by applying two special classes of decision based filters. Filtered image outputs from decision based filters are suitably combined with a Feed forward neural network in the second stage. The internal parameters of...
