The unsteady viscous flow in the vicinity of an axisymmetric stagnation point of an infinite moving cylinder with time-dependent axial velocity is investigated. The impinging free stream is steady with a strain rate k. An exact solution of the Navier-Stokes equations is derived in this problem. A reduction of these equations is obtained by use of appropriate transformations. The general self-si...

Moving Particle Semi-implicit (MPS) which is a meshless and full Lagrangian method is employed to simulate nonlinear hydrodynamic behavior in a wide variety of engineering application including free surface water waves. In the present study, a numerical particle-based model is developed by the authors using MPS method to simulate different wave problems in the coastal waters. In this model flui...

Circadian biological clocks control many biological events, but the pathways by which these events are controlled are largely unknown. Based on a model suggesting that cytosolic-free calcium levels control the expression of the Lhcb gene in plants, we tested whether the circadian oscillation of free calcium is responsible for driving the rhythm of Lhcb expression. We found that these rhythms fr...

In this talk, we review some recent advances in the theory of dynamic tides in close binaries. We particularly focus on the effects of resonances of dynamic tides with free oscillation modes and on the role of dynamic tides in the comparison of theoretically predicted and observationally inferred apsidalmotion rates.

We propose a novel spin-torque oscillator based on two MgO-MTJs with a shared free layer. By performing extensive micromagnetic modeling we found that the structure exhibits a wide tunability of oscillation frequencies from a few GHz to several ten GHz.

The technique of obtaining high resolution, second order, oscillation free (TVD), explicit scalar difference schemes, by the addition of a limited antidiffusive flux to a first order scheme is explored and bounds derived for such limiters. A class of limiters is presented which includes a very compressive limiter due to Roe, and various limiters are compared both theoretically and numerically.
