In this paper, we implement finite volume Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (WENO) schemes in both cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems for the Euler equations with cylindrical or spherical symmetry. We analyze three different spatial discretizations: one that is shown to be high-order accurate but not conservative, one conservative but not high-order accurate, and one both high-orde...

INTRODUCTION The double pulsed field gradient (double-PFG) MR sequence (Fig. 1) is a promising diffusion MR method that could be useful in probing restricted geometries using low to moderate gradient strengths. To utilize this technique, one should understand how the double-PFG signal is influenced by pore morphology. Several theoretical [1,2] and numerical [3] studies have been performed where...

Packed bed reactors have many applications in different industries such as chemical, petrochemical, and refinery industries. In this work, the effects of some parameters such as the shape and size of particles, bed size, and bed length on the hydrodynamics of the packed beds containing three spherical, cylindrical, and cubic particles types are investigated using CFD. The effect of the combinat...

The progressive reduction of velocitygradient to keep the flocculation rate as high as possible without breakage of flocsis called 'tapered flocculation'. In the present work, an attempt has been made to compare the performance of continuous tapered flocculationin conicaland cylindricaltanks. The efficiencyof conical flocculator was found to be higher than that of cylindrical flocculator, espec...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of noncycloplegic refraction compared with cycloplegic refraction in diagnosing refractive error in primary school children in southern Thailand. MATERIAL AND METHOD This is a cross-sectional study. One hundred twenty children aged from 6-13 years who had visual acuity of 20/40 or worse in at least one eye were included. All the children underwent autorefrac...

non-fourier heat transfer analysis of functionally graded (fg) spherical shells subjected to the radiative-convective boundary conditions at their inner and outer surfaces are presented. it is assumed that the material properties have continuous variations along the thickness direction. the incremental differential quadrature method (idqm) as an accurate and computationally efficient numerical ...

in this paper the response modification factor due to ductility and saved strength of cylindrical concrete elevated and ground tanks is obtained using finite element method and nonlinear push over analysis considering the lateral effective modes of tanks. to modeling the behavior of the tank materials, the five parameters william-warnke and prefect elastoplastic models are used for concrete and...

The low Young's modulus of biological particles results in their large deformation against the AFM probe forces; therefore, it is necessary to study the contact mechanics of bioparticles in order to predict their mechanical behaviors. This paper specifically deals with the contact mechanics of DNA nanoparticles with spherical and cylindrical shapes during manipulation. In previous studies, ...

Hydrogen may substitute traditional hydrocarbon fuels in propeller and jet aircraft. In the case of propulsion, use combustion engines is preferable to fuel cells plus electric motors. The conversion efficiency from chemical mechanical energy at larger with cells, but propulsion system also larger, addition heavier. Fuel have a better appeal for novel urban air mobility solutions. Hybridization...
