among the all parameters affecting the performance of a downhole de-oiling hydrocyclone, the investigation of internal flow field deserves more attempts especially in the petroleum industry. in this study, the effects of inlet flow rate, inlet oil volume fraction, and oil droplet diameter on the separation efficiency and pressure drop ratio have been investigated along the hydrocyclone body. al...

reliability evaluation of a large-scale composite power system faces to numerous events/outage and consequently imposes an extensive burden of calculations. in order to simplify the problem, determination of an equivalent system for large-scale power system is inevitable. this paper proposes a framework as reduction technique to separate a composite power system to three areas: external area, o...

the existing studies of threshing process of combine harvesters adopt the assumption of constant mass, which is contradictory to the phenomenon of separation of grains and short stalks in actual threshing process. therefore, the characteristics of threshing and separation are not accurately described. aiming at this problem, this study established the tangential-longitudinal threshing and separ...

understanding of the runoff generation processes is important in understanding the magnitude and dynamics ofgroundwater discharge. however, these processes continue to be difficult to quantify and conceptualize. in this study,two digital filter based separation modules, the recursive filtering method (rdf) and a generalization of therecursive digital filter (grdf) were1991–2002 in the hableh ro...

In this paper, the theory of flow barriers in discontinuous dynamical systems is systematically presented as a new theory for the first time, which helps one rethink the existing theories of stability and control in dynamical systems. The concept of flow barriers in discontinuous dynamical systems is introduced, and the passability of a flow to the separation boundary with flow barriers is pres...

The numerical simulation of the three-dimensional flow upwind of a vertical cylinder over a flat plate is achieved with a parallel LES code which is called DNSUTA Version III. The preliminary computational results with a coarse grid find that the flow structure is similar to experimental observations. The bow shock is very clear, and a separation shock is formed ( Λ -structure). Inside the sepa...
