The evolution of starting jet circulation, impulse and kinetic energy are derived in terms of kinematics at the entrance boundary of a semi-infinite axisymmetric domain. This analysis is not limited to the case of parallel jet flows; and the effect of non-zero radial velocity is specifically identified. The pressure distribution along the entrance boundary is also derived as it is required for ...

The optimal design of the thrust vector control system solid rocket motors (SRMs) is discussed. injection a supersonic underexpanded gas jet into diverging part engine nozzle considered, and multiparameter optimization geometric shape parameters flow developed. turbulent viscous compressible in main simulated with Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations shear stress transport (SST) tur...

In the domain of decision making under uncertainty we propose the Multiple Source Evaluation Model, focusing on (1) how information coming from different evidential sources, either converging or diverging, is integrated and (2) how Ignorance, Uncertainty and Contradiction are evaluated and reduced before deciding in ambiguous domains. We argue that these operations involve an unique satisficing...

This paper presents the solution of the nonlinear equation that governs the flow of a viscous, incompressible fluid between two converging-diverging rigid walls using an improved homotopy analysis method. The results obtained by this new technique show that the improved homotopy analysis method converges much faster than both the homotopy analysis method and the optimal homotopy asymptotic meth...

The transient phenomena of incident shock waves during its passage through an orifice, a diverging nozzle, and a conical disk as baffles in a tube are numerically simulated. The influence of geometrical configurations of the baffles on shock attenuation is investigated. The results show that the conical disk was most effective configuration to weaken the strength of transmitted shock waves, sin...

This research explores the differences and similarities found in two corpora representative of registers relevance for Navy submariners Spanish Submarine Warfare School. It shows cases a range analyses based on multi-dimensional analysis that can inform professional language teaching such contexts. is argued linguistic variation among texts affords identification both converging diverging patte...

We investigate the spatial evolution of a laser pulse used to generate high-order harmonics (orders ranging from 45 to 91) in a semi-infinite helium-filled gas cell. The 5 mJ, 30 fs laser pulses experience elongated focusing with two distinct waists when focused with f/125 optics in 80 Torr of helium. Extended phase matching for the generation of harmonics occurs in the region between the doubl...

A method for the quasi-one-dimensional simulation of magnetic nozzles was developed and simulations of a magnetic nozzle were performed. The effects of the density variation due to plasma expansion and the magnetic field forces on ion acceleration were investigated. The density variation only weakly affects ion acceleration. Magnetic field forces acting on the electrons were found to be respons...

A novel DNA molecule stretching technique is developed and tested herein. Through a heated converging-diverging microchannel, thermal convection and thermophoresis induced by regional heating are shown to significantly elongate single DNA molecules; they are visualized via a confocal laser scanning microscopy. In addition, electrophoretic stretching is also implemented to examine the hybrid eff...

The fundamental backpropagation (BP) algorithm for training artificial neural networks is cast as a deterministic nonmonotone perturbed gradient method. Under certain natural assumptions, such as the series of learning rates diverging while the series of their squares converging, it is established that every accumulation point of the online BP iterates is a stationary point of the BP error func...
