this paper modeled heating air of a room through examining free convection in a 3d chamber. the chamber had cold and hot sources with tc and th temperatures, respectively. its other walls were adiabatic. this study aimed at predicting effect of temperature difference, displacement of hot and cold sources and their aspect ratio on flow field, temperature and heat transfer rate. to conduct the st...

often in modeling the engineering optimization design problems, the value of objective function(s) is not clearly defined in terms of design variables. instead it is obtained by some numerical analysis such as fe structural analysis, fluid mechanic analysis, and thermodynamic analysis, etc. yet, the numerical analyses are considerably time consuming to obtain the final value of objective functi...

background : improvement of facial beauty is a major reason why patients with dentofacial problems opt for orthognathic surgery. people are eventually judged by their facial appearance by themselves, their friends & family and even surgeons. with the recent developments in technology, we now have a 3d structure that can build and analyze 3d images before & after surgery and review the extent of...

This work presents an auto-completion mechanism for supporting the creation of executable business process models. Currently, process modeling tools provide only little support to identify the relevant services that are needed to execute the process model – t he selection of appropriate services is left to the skills of the modeler. A novel solution technique for this problem is proposed here a...

Magnetic slot wedges are often used to improve starting performance of large induction motors. In this paper we have investigated – through simulation – the effects of the wedges on the performance characteristics of the motor and core losses under no load condition. Both analytical and hybrid two-dimensional field-circuit models have been used. In order to reliably establish the parameters of ...

IGW is a software environment for real-time 2D and 3D groundwater modeling. The software functions as a ‘‘numerical laboratory’’ in which the modeler can freely explore: visually creating an aquifer of desired configurations and then immediately investigating and visualizing the groundwater system. IGW allows the modeler’s thought processes to progress naturally and intuitively with the informa...

We present a three-dimensional model of the bifurcation set that describes the known properties of the system in a condensed way, and, under certain assumptions for which there is strong numerical evidence, is topologically correct and complete. In this model, the bifurcation set consists of surfaces of codimension-one bifurcations that divide (b; '; )-space into fifteen regions of generic phas...
