As a representative fluid-transporting system, fluid-conveying pipes play an essential role in many fields. For pipe system operation, fluid pulsation contains much information about flow parameters (flow velocity, pressure, etc.). Therefore, the measurement of is important for understanding internal flow. To use polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) piezoelectric film sensors to indirectly measure pr...

according to flexibility of pneumatic conveying systems with respect to other types of transmission systems, this system has wide application in industry and agriculture processes. one important application of this system is in the loading and unloading tankers and powdery bulk materials such as trucks carrying cement, plaster and sand. conveying efficiency is associated with pressure, which in...

A flexible membrane deforming its shape in time can self-propel in a viscous fluid. Alternatively, if the membrane is anchored, its deformation will lead to fluid transport. Past work in this area focused on situations where the deformation kinematics of the membrane were prescribed. Here we consider models where the deformation of the membrane is not prescribed, but instead the membrane is int...

By means of extensive coupled molecular dynamics-lattice Boltzmann simulations, accounting for grain dynamics and subparticle resolution of the fluid phase, we analyze steady inertial granular flows sheared by a viscous fluid. We show that, for a broad range of system parameters (shear rate, confining stress, fluid viscosity, and relative fluid-grain density), the frictional strength and packin...
