The computational fluid dynamics is concentrated on the forced air cooling of the CPU using a heat sink. This paper utilizes CFD to identify a cooling solution for a desktop computer, which uses an 80 W CPU maximum whereas this number will be increased in the range of 70-120W in the forthcoming desktop computer systems. The design is able to cool the chassis with one fan with air blowing over h...

Control of biofilms requires rapid methods to identify compounds effective against them and to isolate resistance-compromised mutants for identifying genes involved in enhanced biofilm resistance. While rapid screening methods for microtiter plate well ("static") biofilms are available, there are no methods for such screening of continuous flow biofilms ("flow biofilms"). Since the latter biofi...

This investigation deals with the effects of slip, magnetic field and non-Newtonian flow parameters on flow and heat transfer of an incompressible, electrically conducting fourth grade fluid past an infinite porous plate subject to suction and blowing, known as the Blasius flow problem. The heat transfer analysis has been carried out for two heating processes, namely, when the plate is assumed ...

The effect of imperfectly conducting bounding plates on the heat transport in turbulent thermal convection in the Rayleigh-Bénard problem is considered in the context of analytical upper bounds. Beginning with the evolution equations in the fluid in the Boussinesq approximation, coupled through temperature and flux continuity to identical upper and lower conducting plates with diffusive heat fl...

elevated tanks are important structures in storing vital products, such as petroleum products for cities and industrial facilities, as well as water storage. these structures have various types and are constructed in a way that a greater portion of their weight is concentrated at an elevation much about the base. damage to these structures during strong ground motions may lead to fire or other ...

background: aneurysm is a blood-filled bulge in the wall of vessels that occurred in abdominal aortic and cerebral vessels. the dilation of artery leads to aneurysm. methods: three dimensional modelling was utilized for a patient with cerebral aneurysm and a normal subject, and additional fluid-structural interaction simulation was performed. we consider pulsatile blood velocity as inlet, and b...

Recently there has emerged a need to compute multimodal non-rigid registrations in a lot of clinical applications. To date, the viscous fluid algorithm is perhaps the most adept method at recovering large local misregistrations that exist between two images. However, this model can only be used on images from the same modality as it assumes similar intensity values between images. This paper pr...

Though realistic eulerian fluid simulation systems now provide believable movements, straightforward renderable surface representation, and affordable computation costs, they are still unable to deal with non-static objects in a realistic manner. Namely, objects can not have an influence on the fluid and be simultaneously affected by the fluid’s motion. In this paper, a simulation scheme for fl...
