Speedmeters are known to be quantum non-demolition devices and, by potentially providing sensitivity beyond the standard quantum limit, become interesting for third generation gravitational wave detectors. Here we introduce a new configuration, the sloshing-Sagnac interferometer, and compare it to the more established ring-Sagnac interferometer. The sloshing-Sagnac interferometer is designed to...

This paper presents a multi‐dimensional high‐order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method in an arbitrary Lagrangian‐Eulerian (ALE) formulation to simulate flows over variable domains with moving and deforming meshes. It is an extension of the gas‐kinetic DG method proposed by the authors for static domains (X. Ren et al., A multi‐dimensional high‐order discontinuous Galerkin method based on gas ki...

We evaluate a number of different finite-element approaches for fluid–structure (contact) interaction problems against data from physical experiments. This consists trajectories single particles falling through highly viscous fluid and rebounding off the bottom tank wall. The resulting flow is in transitional regime between creeping turbulent flows. type configuration particularly challenging n...

Abstract Sloshing describes liquids motion in the semi-filled tanks, and exerts dynamic loading on its walls. This effect is of great importance in a number of dynamic systems e.g. aerospace vehicles, road tankers, liquefied natural gas carriers, elevated water towers and petroleum cylindrical tanks. Pressures insert impacts which are important for structural strength evaluation and its co...

Mass-spring models are essential for the description of sloshing resonances in engineering. By experimentally measuring liquid's centre mass a horizontally oscillated rectangular tank, we show that low-amplitude obeys Duffing equation. A bending response curve analogy to softening spring is observed, with growing hysteresis as driving amplitude increases. At large amplitudes, complex wave patte...

in this study the operations of melting of au15ag40 nanoalloy have been studied using the molecular dynamic simulations through the gupta multiparticle potential and the nonergodicity of simulations is eliminated by the multiple histogram method. the melting characteristics are determined by the analysis of variations in the potential energy. the calculations indicate that the melting of au15ag...

Difficulties associated with free-surface finite element flow simulations are related to a) nonlinear and advective nature of most hydrodynamic flows, b) requirements for compatibility between velocity and pressure interpolation, c) maintaining a valid computational mesh in the presence of moving boundaries, and d) enforcement of the kinematic conditions at the free surface. Focusing on the las...

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a mathematical tool capable of simulating a wide range of fluid flows. Integrated CFD software has been applied to study the flows in oilfield separators. The influence of inlets, internals, and outlets has been studied with CFD simulations. Of particular value has been the ability of CFD to simulate wave induced sloshing in vessels mounted on floating plat...
