Cylindrical structures are widely employed in the offshore engineering. How to protect the structures in real sea environment is a vital issue for scientists and engineers. In this paper, the interaction of short-crested waves with a concentric surface-piercing two-cylinder system is studied based on linear wave theory using the scaled boundary finite-element method (SBFEM), a novel semi-analyt...

This paper reports work on the two and three-dimensional numerical simulation of dough mixing with free surfaces, that arises in the food processing industry. Free surface flow in a rotating cylinder is investigated when a fluid is mixed in a cylinder with a stirrer. Different dough mixer designs are investigated. The rotating stirrer may be placed either in a concentric or eccentric arrangemen...

in common classical methods of cavity depth estimation through microgravity data, usually when a pre-geometrical model is considered for the cavity shape, the simple geometrical models of sphere, vertical cylinder and horizontal cylinder are commonly used. it is obviously an important fact that in real conditions the shapes of the cavities are not exactly sphere, horizontal cylinder or vertical...

We investigate the axisymmetric magnetosphere of an aligned rotating magnetic dipole surrounded by an ideal force-free plasma. We concentrate on the magnetic field structure around the point of intersection of the separatrix between the openand closed-field line regions and the equatorial plane. We first study the case in which this intersection point is located at the light cylinder. We find t...

In the present article, the thermal analysis of the cylinder and the piston in four-cylinder engines, made of functionally graded materials (FGMs), has been performed by using the super element method. The objective of using FGMs in the cylinder and the piston is to increase their performance. FGMs include a combination of ceramics and metals. Inside the cylinder, the ceramic is considered and ...

in this paper, simulation and analysis of thin steel cylindrical shells with elliptical cutouts under oblique loading were studied using finite element method. first, the numerical results were validated by the results of experimental test performed by an instron 8802 servo hydraulic machine. also, the effect of cutout angle (θ), cutout size, cutout position (l0/l) and cutout aspect ratios (b/a...

The effect of inertia terms ( especially centrifugal terms ) on the leakage flow through the narrow clearance between the rotor and side plates of a sliding vane rotary compressor is investigated, and it is pointed out that the flow model without inertia terms can be sufficiently accurate in our situation. Then, our problem is solved by Finite Element Method under the non-axisymmetric boundary ...

The original protocol for implant prosthesis recommends the use of a gold framework for acrylic and ceramic prosthesis. However, due to its high cost, the use of alternative alloys is desired. This study compares the marginal accuracy of pre-made cylinders versus plastic cylinders cast with two different base metal casting alloys. Five samples each of (1) plastic cylinder cast in cobalt-chromiu...
