An efficient finite difference model of blood flow through the coronary vessels is developed and applied to a geometric model of the largest six generations of the coronary arterial network. By constraining the form of the velocity profile across the vessel radius, the three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations are reduced to one-dimensional equations governing conservation of mass and momentum....

The unsteady two-dimensional flow of a viscoelastic second-grade fluid impinging on an infinite plate is considered. The plate is making harmonic oscillations in its own plane. A finite difference technique is employed and solutions for small and large frequencies of the oscillations are obtained. 1. Introduction. In the past two decades, the importance of non-Newtonian viscoelastic liquids hav...

Abstract. Transport networks in coastal, urban areas are extremely vulnerable to seismic events, with damage likely due both ground motions and tsunami loading. Most existing models analyse the performance of structures under either earthquakes or tsunamis, as isolated events. This paper presents a numerical approach that captures sequential earthquake–tsunami effects on transport infrastructur...

In this paper, we have studied the effect of radiation, magnetic field on the mixed convection flow of a magneto-micropolar fluid past a continuously moving surface with suction and blowing. The governing equations have been reduced to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by similarity transformations, which have been solved numerically using finite difference method. The effec...

A sudden slope failure occurred in Manisa possibly due to the effect of water infiltration because a slightly damaged sewage pipe. Considering that there was no other evidence such as rainfall or any loading conditions trigger failure, laboratory investigation on soil’s unsaturated hydro-mechanical properties initiated. Slopes are naturally soils, and they may lose their stability with increase...

The use of steel flush end-plate moment connection is practiced in the construction of the light steel frames around the world particularly in parts of Europe and US. In the past most research was concentrated on studying the behavior of the flush end-plate connection subjected to only monotonic type loadings. The majority of that research carried out such investigation through experimental pro...
