Diffuse interfaces appear with any Eulerian discontinuity capturing compressible flow solver. When dealing with multifluid and multimaterial computations, interfaces smearing results in serious difficulties to fulfil contact conditions, as spurious oscillations appear. To circumvent these difficulties, several approaches have been proposed. One of them relies on multiphase flow modelling of the...

The paper describes the development of the efficient interface sharpening procedure for viscous incompressible flows governed by the Navier–Stokes equations. The moving interface has been captured by a pseudo-concentration method. The solution domain has been discretised by the space-time finite elements, while numerical schemes have been stabilised by the Galerkin least squares method. The dam...

With the Lattice Boltzmann method (using the BGK approximation) we investigate the dynamics of Hele-Shaw flow under conditions corresponding to various experimental systems. We discuss the onset of the instability (dispersion relation), the static properties (characterization of the interface) and the dynamic properties (growth of the mixing zone) of simulated Hele-Shaw systems. We examine the ...

The Bradford curves are used in the CIECAM97 colour appearance model, and are ‘sharpened’ in the sense that they have narrower support than the cone fundamentals. Spectral sharpening is a method which finds the linear combination of a set of sensors that is most sensitive to a given interval of the visible spectrum. Here we investigate the relationship between the apparently sharp Bradford curv...

Spectral sharpening of speech has been proposed as a possible method for improving speech understanding by listeners with hearing loss. Animal neural physiological data and cochlear models differ in their predictions as to the potential success of spectral sharpening for improved speech recognition. Data from early implementations of spectral sharpening are also ambiguous. Our recent investigat...

An inevitable tradeoff between spectral and spatial resolution exists in remote sensing systems and it is essential to integrate information from systems with complementary characteristics to improve data interpretability. Panchromatic (PAN) sharpening is a data fusion technique that merges a high spatial resolution PAN image with lower spatial resolution multispectral images. The resulting mer...
