The wind loads considerably influence lightweight spatial structures. An example of spatial structures is scallop domes that contain various configurations and forms and the wind impact on a scallop dome is more complex due to its additional curvature. In our work, the wind pressure coefficient (Cp ) on the scallop dome surface is studied numerically and experimentally. Firstly, the programming...

Large-eddy simulation is being increasingly used as a means of both predicting the properties of specific turbulence flows and providing flow details which can be used like data to test and refine other turbulenceclosure models. In this paper, some of important background and a formalism of large-eddy simulation from a review article by Marcel Lesieur and Olivier Metais titled “New Trends in La...

A new subgrid eddy-viscosity model is proposed in this paper. Full details of the derivation of the model are given with the assumption of homogeneous turbulence. The formulation of the model is based on the dynamic equation of the structure function of resolved scale turbulence. By means of the local volume average, the effect of the anisotropy is taken into account in the generalized Kolmogor...

This paper presents a statistical method that estimates a sequence of musical notes from a vocal F0 trajectory. Since the onset times and F0s of sung notes are considerably deviated from the discrete tatums and pitches indicated in a musical score, a score model is crucial for improving timefrequency quantization of the F0s. We thus propose a hierarchical hidden semi-Markov model (HHSMM) that c...

This paper describes numerical simulation and matching experimental results for oscillatory flow within a baffled tube containing tri-orifice baffles. The numerical simulation implemented a nonstandard approach based on Implicit Large Eddy Simulation (ILES) to predict the flow in a situation where complex eddy formation occurs due to periodic separation for each oscillation of the flow. The set...

The viability of the Variational Multi-Scale (VMS), an approach for Large Eddy Simulation (LES), in the context of turbulence control is explored. First, we validate our VMS implementation for a fully-developed turbulent channel. Later, VMS results for opposition control of the turbulent channel flow are compared against available Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) and LES using dynamic subgrid-...

We present an update of the Binoth Les Houches Accord (BLHA) to standardise the interface between Monte Carlo programs and codes providing one-loop matrix elements.
