The interference and proximity effects on the dynamic response of prismatic bluff bodies are investigated in a series of wind tunnel tests. The results show that the presence of a single, or a pair of upstream prisms of the same size can increase the interaction factor. The effects are more pronounced in a boundary layer flow with a lower level of turbulence, especially near the reduced velocit...

In the management literature it has been argued that the market environment conditions should have a substantial effect on business success. However, the present literature regarding online newspapers has more or less neglected this viewpoint and investigated the effects of only some aspects of the market environment like the structure of the online newspaper market and the role of geography. T...

Tel.+8615301516886 This study aims to investigate the effect of serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level and heart rate turbulence (HRT) phenomena on changes in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients, and their roles in predicting the evaluation of recent cardiovascular event. According to clinical diagnosis and coronary artery angiography results, 102 patients were divided into three groups...

the effect of a combined system of the bed suction and jet injection as a pier-scour countermeasure on the turbulent flow field is studied in a laboratory flume using an acoustic doppler velocimeter (adv). the three components of the velocities in the vertical symmetry plane in the equilibrium scour hole in front and rear of the pier under 3-jet injections and bed suction rate qs/q0 = 2%located...

A new non-local mechanism of the global confinement degradation and ion temperature profile stiffness is proposed based on the results of global gyrokinetic simulations. We find that turbulence spreading into a marginally stable zone can increase turbulent transport to a level exceeding the predictions of the local theories. Also, we present the first quantification of the parametric dependence...

In hot arid regions, cooling buildings by passive techniques is very important regarding energy saving and the need to keep clean the environment. In such areas, domed and vaulted roofs are widely used for centuries, such as in the Middle East region and central part of Iran. In this article analysis is made to explore east–west direction of wind flow around north–south vaulted roofs and flat r...

In this paper the study of the behavior of the fuel flow through the injector nozzle using CFD tools is presented. Large Eddy Simulation will be used to model the internal flow turbulence in a Diesel fuel injector with velocities over 500 m/s. More specifically, the influence of boundary conditions applied to the model will be studied. The article analyses the influence of the inlet boundary co...

Recent experimental investigations and physical modeling studies have indicated that turbulence behaviors within a liquid jet have considerable effects on the atomization process. For certain flow regimes, it has been observed that the liquid jet surface is highly turbulent. This turbulence characteristic plays a key role on the breakup of the liquid jet near to the injector exit. Other experim...

Rotation and shear flows are ubiquitous features of many astrophysical and geophysical bodies. To understand their origin and effect on turbulent transport in these systems, we consider a forced turbulence and investigate the combined effect of rotation and shear flow on the turbulence properties. Specifically, we study how rotation and flow shear influence the generation of shear flow (e.g., t...
