Abstract Simulations of water flow in open-channel the presence an air–water interface are performed to examine velocity distribution profile deep and along channel. The simulations made for a channel with glass walls.

The paper demonstrates the model order reduction procedures applied to semiconductor devices with multiple heat sources. The approach is demonstrated for a device with nine heat sources where some of them are permanently active and other work under switching conditions. For the order reduction the software package MOR for ANSYS is used, which is based on the Krylov subspace method via the Arnol...

Analytical and numerical solutions are presented for viscoelastic lifting surfaces with piezoelectric control devices. Computational protocols in terms of spatial finite elements and temporal finite differences are formulated. ANSYS is used for mesh generation and numerical solutions are carried out in ABAQUS. Because of lack of provisions in ABAQUS for displacement dependent forces (lift), add...

COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS has been adopt-e d b y m a n y industries to provide a better understanding of countless applications. New and unusual uses for the technology continue to appear, as evi-denced by our cover story on archaeological analysis (page 5). While the extent of an ancient municipal water system in Syria was unearthed by excavation, the clever-ness of the hydraulic engineers ...
