The study of compressible homogeneous shear flows has been largely analyzed in literature. Predictions for these flows require an improvement of existing turbulence models. Rapid-distortion-theory (RDT) has largely showed its relevance and its utility to identify compressibility effects which allow us to analyze performances of compressible turbulence models from the existing literature. This p...

We show that the motion of a slightly compressible fluid is near that of an incompressible fluid. That is, for a given initial velocity field, the motion of a compressible fluid with large sound speed is near to that of an idealized incompressible fluid. We consider the compressible fluid motion in Lagrangian coordinates and show that it can be defined by two functions giving the kinetic and po...

The objective of the present work is to validate the compressible Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) models implemented in the in house parallel unstructured CFD code TermoFluids. Our research team has implemented and tested several LES models over the past years for the incompressible regimen. In order to be able to solve complex turbulent compressible flows, the models are revisited and modified if ...

Let A be an n × n subgaussian matrix (entries are i.i.d. subgaussian r.v’s with variance 1). There are two reasons for the invertibility of A, depending on the nature of the unit vector on which A is acting – either compressible or incompressible. We recall that compressible vectors are those whose distance is at most some constant ρ from the set of (δn)-sparse vectors, and incompressible vecto...

Vortex stretching in a compressible fluid is considered. Two-dimensional (2D) and axisymmetric cases are considered separately. The flows associated with the vortices are perpendicular to the plane of the uniform straining flows. Externally-imposed density build-up near the axis leads to enhanced compactness of the vortices – “dressed” vortices (in analogy to “dressed” charged particles in a di...

This paper analyzes a compressible gas flow through a microchannel, and reports a complete set of first-order analytical solutions. Thiswork represents an extension of the previouswork ofArkilic on compressibleflows through amicrochannel. First, by comparing themagnitudes of different forces in the compressible gasflow,weobtain proper estimations for the Reynolds and Mach numbers at the channel...

This paper is concerned with the self-similar solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations of a 1D viscous polytropic ideal gas. Our results show that there exist neither forward nor backward selfsimilar solutions with finite total energy, which generalizes the results for the case of the isothermal compressible Navier-Stokes equations in Z. Guo and S. Jiang (Self-similar solutions to ...

Verrucous hemangioma is a rare, localized vascular malformation.The lesions are bluish-red, well demarcated, and compressible. Wereport a case of a 10-year-old girl with coexistent disseminatedverrucous hemangioma and subcutaneous hemangioma overthe nape of neck.

Direct compression is the preferred method for the preparation of tablets. The present review outlines the importance of the functionality of the directly compressible adjuvants in the formulation of tablets. The co-processing is the most widely explored method for the preparation of directly compressible adjuvants because it is cost effective and can be prepared in-house based on the functiona...

Based on polyaniline-single-walled carbon nanotubes -sponge electrodes, highly compressible all-solid-state supercapacitors are prepared with an integrated configuration using a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/H2 SO4 gel as the electrolyte. The unique configuration enables the resultant supercapacitors to be compressed as an integrated unit arbitrarily during 60% compressible strain. Furthermore, the...
