This study deals with wave-induced unsteady pressure on a ship moving constant forward speed in regular head waves. Two different numerical methods are applied to solve wave–ship interaction problems: Rankine panel method which adopts velocity potential, and Cartesian-grid solves the momentum mass conservation equations under assumption of inviscid incompressible fluids. Before comparing l1ocal...

In this paper, a 7-level Diode Clamped Multilevel Inverter (DCMLI) is simulated with three different carrier PWM techniques. Here, Carrier based Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM), Third Harmonic Injected Pulse Width Modulation (THIPWM) and Modified Carrier-Based Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) are used as modulation strategies. These modulation strategies include Phase Dispos...

Introduction: The Thermal “and” Evolved Gas Analyzer (TEGA) instrument scheduled to fly onboard the 2007 Mars Phoenix Scout Mission will perform differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and evolved gas analysis (EGA) of soil samples and ice collected from the surface and subsurface at a northern landing site on Mars. We have been developing a sample characterization data library using a laborato...

In this study, lead sulfide (PbS) films were grown on Fluorine-doped TinOxide (FTO) glass substrate by thermal evaporation in a horizontal furnace toinvestigate carrier gas effect on structural, morphological, elemental, optical, electricaland photovoltaic properties of PbS. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns confirmed theformation of cubic polycrystalline PbS particles fo...

Structural calculation scheme of the hydropulse device for vibration cutting with built-in ring pressure pulse generator (PPG) is considered. On basis structural and cyclogram working cycle device, its dynamic mathematical models were developed, in which hydraulic link represented by a visco-elastic model fluid (energy carrier) composed inertial elastic dissipative elements (Kelvin-Foyga's body).

Vertical accelerations during the early stages of convective cloud formation are often the result of buoyancy and the perturbation vertical pressure gradient forces. Convection modifies the local pressure field surrounding the cloud. Measurement of the cloud perturbation pressure field is challenging over distance scales on the order of the convective elements, since the signals are often small...

Diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge (DCSBD) as the source of nonequilibrium plasma is widely used nowadays for surface modification of different materials. DCSBD plasma consists of many microdischarges which are moving along the planar dielectric plate and create a thin layer of macroscopically homogeneous plasma above dielectric. The influences of humidity in carrier gas at atmospheric ...
