PURPOSE In optical-CT, the use of a refractively matched polyurethane solid-tank in place of a fluid bath has the potential to greatly increase practical convenience, reduce cost, and possibly improve the efficacy of flood corrections. This work investigates the feasibility of solid-tank optical-CT imaging for 3D dosimetry through computer simulation. METHODS A matlab ray-tracing simulation p...

The present study numerically investigated the deformation of free-surface two-phase fluid flow in a tank which is considered as simplified blast furnace hearth. Actually, fluids existing hearth are gas, slag and hot metal from top to bottom. However, only gas cold molten iron tank. porosity substitute for void volume formed by packed bed particles such cokes. single-phase without analyzed comp...

The compound strip method (CSM) for plates is an expansion of the finite strip method (FSM) and was developed to incorporate the effects of the support elements in the analysis of linear elastic plate systems. In this paper the CSM is further expanded to analyze structures such as stiffened plates under loads in the plane of the plate or the so called plane-stress condition. Examples of these t...

Let A be a set of trivariate irreducible integral polynomials and let D be an A-invariant cylindrical algebraic decomposition (cad) of three-dimensional space. This paper presents a new algorithm for determining the interstack adjacencies in D over a given non-nullifying (for A) 0-cell, 1-cell adjacency in the cad D 0 of the plane induced by D. We show that this new adjacency algorithm for thre...

Multiphase impeller stirred tank reactors enhance mixing of reacting species used in a variety of chemical industries. These reactors have been studied based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) that can be used in the analysis, design and scale up of these reactors. Most of the researches done in this area are limited to single phase reactors, and a few remaining two phase flow investigat...
