Compressible gas flow inside a convergent-divergent nozzle and its exhaust plume atdifferent nozzle pressure ratios (NPR) have been numerically studied with severalturbulence models. The numerical results reveal that, the SST k–ω model give the bestresults compared with other models in time and accuracy. The effect of changes in value ofdivergence half-angle (ε ) on the nozzle performance, thru...

An approach of Green’s function is adopted to solve the inhomogeneous linear differential equations representing wave equations in piezo-composite materials. In particular, transference of horizontally polarised shear (SH) waves is considered in bedded structure comprising of porous-piezo electric layer lying over a heterogeneous half-space. Propagation of SH-waves is considered to be influence...

In some cases the function <£(£) or \pik) is given by a closed expression which is too complicated to permit a sufficiently accurate analytic evaluation of the integral for the entire range of the parameter x. In other cases 4>ik) or ^(&) may be available only in numerical form. The conventional methods of numerical quadrature (e.g., Simpson's rule) are not suitable for evaluation of the above ...

This paper investigates the application of the Red-Black Half-Sweep Gauss-Seidel (HSGS-RB) method by using the half-sweep triangle finite element approximation equation based on the Galerkin scheme to solve two-dimensional Poisson equations. Formulations of the full-sweep and half-sweep triangle finite element approaches in using this scheme are also derived. Some numerical experiments are cond...

Rigorous mathematical modeling of adsorption processes in packed beds involves time-consuming computations which are considered as the fundamental weakness of such thorough mathematical models. Thus, reducing the computation time was a key factor in improving adsorption mathematical models. In order to achieve this goal, an attempt was made to know how much using different numerical methods inf...

This paper revisits the Lucas paradox by quantifying empirically the relevance of a specific set of policies — restrictions on international capital flows — in shaping the patterns of capital movements at various stages of economic development. The determinants of the direction of capital flows, and their relation to economic development, constitute an important topic in open economy macroecono...
