purpose: to investigate the results of deep lamellar keratoplasty (dlk) by big bubble method with using shifting bubble sign in patients suffering from keratoconus or corneal opacity methods: in this prospective interventional clinical trial, 20 eyes of 18 patients (10 males and 8 females) who underwent dlk by big bubble method using shifting bubble sign were investigated. mean age of cases wer...

In present paper acombination of three-dimensional isothermal and two-dimensional non-isothermal Lattice Boltzmann Method have been used to simulate the motion of bubble and effect of wetting properties of the surface on bubble separation. By combining these models, three-dimensional model has been used in two-dimension for decreasing the computational cost. Firstly, it has been ensured that th...

Collagen cross-linking (CXL) is being offered to a growing number of keratoconic patients worldwide for prevention of disease progression, with an overall success rate that exceeds 90% of the treated eyes.1,2 However, some patients do continue to progress after CXL and may need to undergo keratoplasty. Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) has become the preferred technique by an increasin...

In this paper, a CFD model of syngas flow in slurry bubble column was developed. The model is based on an Eulerian-Eulerian approach and includes three phases: slurry of solid particles suspended in paraffin oil and syngas bubbles. Numerical calculations carried out for catalyst particles, bubble coalescence and breakup included bubble-fluid drag force and interfacial area effects. Also, the ef...

Bubble drag reduction has been shown to be a promising technique for reducing the in ships, thus emission of pollutants and allowing compliance with new requirements imposed recently this respect. Different searches have conducted publications related technique, an increase interest shown, especially last decade. In context, review experimental work bubble published decade is presented present ...

Bubble columns are gas- liquid contactors that are widely used in chemical and bio- chemical industries. High mixing that result in high heat and mass transfer rates are amongst their advantages. Heat transfer in a bubble column having a bundle of heaters investigated and the variation of heat transfer coefficient with variation in heaters pitch to diameter ratios in a bundle of heaters reporte...

if an air flow is injected into a liquid fluid, many ambulant air bubbles are formed inside the fluid. air bubbles move inside the liquid fluid because of the buoyancy force, and the mobility of these air bubbles makes sizable commixture and turbulence inside the fluid. this mechanism was employed to enhance the heat transfer rate of a horizontal double pipe heat exchanger in this paper. howeve...

The Kóczy-Hirota Fuzzy Interpolation (“KH” method, Kóczy and Hirota, 1991) is the first method adapting the declarative way of fuzzy function definition and the related “fuzzy dot” rule representation by introducing the concept of Fuzzy Rule Interpolation (FRI). The original KH method had many followers. Most of the FRI methods have difficulties in freely defining the relation of the observatio...
