We develop a mixed finite element method for single phase flow in porous media that reduces to cell-centered finite differences on quadrilateral and simplicial grids and performs well for discontinuous full tensor coefficients. Motivated by the multipoint flux approximation method where sub-edge fluxes are introduced, we consider the lowest order Brezzi-Douglas-Marini (BDM) mixed finite element...

in the present study, the energetic and economic modeling of lentil and chickpea production in esfahan province of iran was conducted using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis) and linear regression. data were taken by interviewing and visiting of 140 lentil farms and 110 chickpea farms during 2014-2015 production period. the results showed that the yield and total energy consumption w...

The miscible displacement of one fluid by another in a porous medium has received considerable attention in subsurface, environmental and petroleum engineering applications. When a fluid of higher mobility displaces another of lower mobility, unstable patterns referred to as viscous fingering may arise. Their physical and mathematical study has been the object of numerous investigations over th...

‎‎The tensor product is the fundemental ingredient for extending one-dimensional techniques of filtering and compression in signal preprocessing to higher dimensions‎. ‎Woven frames play ‎ a crucial role in signal preprocessing and distributed data processing‎. Motivated by these facts, we have investigated the tensor product of woven frames and presented some of their properties. Besides...

the ordinary tensor product of modules is defined using bilinear maps (bimorphisms), that are linear in eachcomponent. keeping this in mind, linton and banaschewski with nelson defined and studied the tensor product in an equational category and in a general (concrete) category k, respectively, using bimorphisms, that is, defined via the hom-functor on k. also, the so-called sesquilinear, or on...

‎the object of the present paper is to study spacetimes admitting‎ ‎quasi-conformal curvature tensor‎. ‎at first we prove that a quasi-conformally flat spacetime is einstein‎ ‎and hence it is of constant curvature and the energy momentum tensor of such a spacetime satisfying‎ ‎einstein's field equation with cosmological constant is covariant constant‎. ‎next‎, ‎we prove that if the perfect...

In this paper instability of planar anisotropic sheet metal during a few forming processes is investigated for the first time. For this reason components of the constitutive tangent tensor for planar anisotropic sheets are developed. By using the above tensor location of necking is predicted. Direction of the shear band is also predicted using the acoustic tensor. A finite element program is pr...

Block diagonal preconditioners for the mixed finite element formulation of planar linear elasticity using the PEERS element by Arnold, Brezzi and Douglas [1] are studied. This mixed finite element approach treats the stress tensor, the displacement field and the anti-symmetric part of the strain tensor as independent variables. The resulting linear system of equations is symmetric but indefinit...

The Douglas-Þr beetle, Dendroctonus pseudotsugae Hopkins, causes considerable mortality in Douglas-Þr, Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco, forests. Within-stand distribution of mortality was examined in affected stands using geostatistical techniques. A 10 3 10 m grid was established in two 4-ha study sites. Live and beetle-killed host basal area was measured at each node. In a 16-ha stand, a...

The non-abelian tensor product of groups which has its origins in algebraic K-theory as well as inhomotopy theory, was introduced by Brown and Loday in 1987. Group theoretical aspects of non-abelian tensor products have been studied extensively. In particular, some studies focused on the relationship between the exponent of a group and exponent of its tensor square. On the other hand, com...
