a boundary integral method is used to simulate spilling breakers. the bottom is also included inthe introduced closed boundary and the problem is directly solved in the physical plane. the method has beenshown to be remarkably stable, and no numerical instability has occurred in any of the calculations. theresults reveal that both the momentum and total energy are almost constant in time during...

wall-jet flow is an important flow field in hydraulic engineering, and its applications include flow from the bottom outlet of dams and sluice gates. in this paper, the plane turbulent wall jet in shallow tailwater is simulated by solving the reynolds averaged navier-stokes equations using the standard  turbulence closure model. this study aims to explore the ability of a time splitting method ...

an energy based damage index based on a new nonlinear finite element (fe) approach applicable to rc structures subjected to cyclic, earthquake or monotonic loading is proposed. the proposed method is based on the evaluation of nonlinear local degradation of materials and taking into account of the pseudo-plastic hinge produced in the critical sections of the structure. a computer program is dev...

Numerical simulations of the large constrained deformation of polymeric structures frequently involves, at some stage, geometrical situations which are diicult to model. These are in addition to any diiculties encountered in the description and in the implementation of complicated con-stitutive relations. In the case of thermoforming the dii-cult geometrical situations occur as thin polymeric s...

The present note is concerned with the numerical simulation of two{dimensional homogeneous decaying turbulence. We employ a Galerkin{type discretization in an adaptive basis of orthogonal wavelets. Therewith the solution is represented by means of a reduced basis being adapted at each time step. It is one of the rst times that wavelet decomposition of a turbulent ow eld is not only used for a p...

Cropping is a cutting process whereby opposing aligned blades create a shearing failure by exerting opposing forces normal to the surfaces of a metal sheet or plate. Building on recent efforts to quantify cropping, this paper formulates a plane strain elastic–plastic model of a plate subject to shearing action by opposing rigid platens. Shear failure at the local level is modeled by a cohesive ...

In this study, the missile staging process by implementing a side-injected jet is simulated numerically. The problem is considered to be axisymmetric and the thin shear layer approximation of Navier-Stokes equations along with an algebraic turbulence model is used in a quasi-static form for the calculations. The free stream corresponds to a very high altitude flight condition with a Mach number...
