For homogeneous systems like classical fluid dynamics and structural mechanics, finite element method (FEM) grid generation has reached a mature state. On the other hand, for multi-physics-problems fluids with high density of immersed particles, many researchers may not even be aware types instabilities which triggered by unsuitable meshes. We review common generation, point out previously unre...

We describe the design, fabrication, and excellent performance of an optimized deep-etched high-density fused-silica transmission grating for use in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) systems. The fabricated optimized transmission grating exhibits an efficiency of 87.1% at a wavelength of 1550 nm. Inductively coupled plasma-etching technology was used to fabricate the grating. The de...

We note the condition 0 ≤ w(e) ≤ 1 is given since it is convenient for presenting our theoretical results, although we can define each problem without this condition. We say unweighted dense subgraph problem if w(e) = 1 for each edge. We define the density ∆ of the output subgraph H to be ∆ = 2w(F ) k(k−1) for the non-bipartite case and ∆ = w(F ) m′n′ for the bipartite case. In other words, den...

This analysis is performed to study the momentum, heat and mass transfer characteristics of MHD mixed convective flow past inclined porous plate in porous medium, including the effect of fluid suction. The fluid is assumed to be steady, incompressible and dense. Similarity solution is used to transform the problem under consideration into coupled nonlinear boundary layer equations which are the...

Several different interpolation schemes have been proposed for improving the accuracy of lattice Boltzmann simulations in the vicinity of a solid boundary. However, these methods require at least two or three fluid nodes between nearby solid surfaces, a condition that may not be fulfilled in dense suspensions or porous media for example. Here we propose an interpolation of the equilibrium distr...

We consider experimentally the instability and mass transport of flow in a Hele-Shaw geometry. In an initially stable configuration, a lighter fluid (water) is located over a heavier fluid (propylene glycol). The fluids mix via diffusion with some regions of the resulting mixture being heavier than either pure fluid. Density-driven convection occurs with downward penetrating dense fingers that ...
