saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) can exhibit sustained oscillations during the operation in a continuous bioreactor that adversely affects its stability and productivity. because of heterogeneous nature of cell populations, the cell population balance equation (pbe) can be used to capture the dynamic behavior of such cultures. in this work, an unstructured-segregated model is used for d...

Abstract—Closed die forging is a very complex process, and measurement of actual forces for real material is difficult and time consuming. Hence, the modelling technique has taken the advantage of carrying out the experimentation with the proper model material which needs lesser forces and relatively low temperature. The results of experiments on the model material then may be correlated with t...

In this paper we present a stable hybrid scheme for viscous problems. The hybrid method combines the unstructured finite volume method with high-order finite difference methods in complex geometries. The coupling procedure between the two numerical methods is based on energy estimates and stable interface conditions are constructed. Numerical calculations show that the hybrid method is efficien...

1. GENERAL FORM OF FINITE VOLUME METHODS We consider vertex-centered finite volume methods for solving diffusion type elliptic equation (1) −∇ · (K∇u) = f in Ω, with suitable Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. Here Ω ⊂ R is a polyhedral domain (d ≥ 2), the diffusion coefficient K(x) is a d× d symmetric matrix function that is uniformly positive definite on Ω with components in L∞(Ω), and...
