In this paper, natural heat convection inside square and equilateral triangular cavities was studied using a meshless method based on collocation local radial basis function (RBF). The nanofluids used were Cu-water or -water mixture with nanoparticle volume fractions range of . A system continuity, momentum, energy partial differential equations in modeling the flow temperature behavior fluids....

Partitioned fluid-structure interaction simulations of the arterial system are difficult due to the incompressibility of the fluid and the shape of the domain. The interface artificial compressibility method (IAC) mitigates the incompressibility constraint by adding a source term to the continuity equation in the fluid domain adjacent to the fluid-structure interface. This source term imitates ...

The aim of this project was to develop a code for solving the 2D, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in generalized curvilinear coordinates using artificial compressibility method. A code was developed using MATLAB where three-point, second order finite differencing was used to discretize the convective and viscous fluxes in conjunction with scalar, fourth-difference, third-order artificial...

The compression index and recompression index are one of the important compressibility parameters to determine the settlement calculation for fine-grained soil layers. These parameters can be determined by carrying out laboratory oedometer test on undisturbed samples; however, the test is quite time-consuming and expensive. Therefore, many empirical formulas based on regression analysis have be...

Pneumatic Artificial Muscle (PAM) overcome the other common actuators as it has higher power-to-weight ratio. However, the air compressibility and lack of damping ability of PAM brings dynamic delay to the pressure response and causes oscillatory motion to occur. It is not easy to realize the motion with high accuracy and high speed due to all the non-linear characteristics of pneumatic system....

In this paper we study how to approximate the Leray weak solutions of the incompressible Navier Stokes equation. In particular we describe an hyperbolic version of the so called artificial compressibility method investigated by J.L.Lions and Temam. By exploiting the wave equation structure of the pressure of the approximating system we achieve the convergence of the approximating sequences by m...

objective(s):the aim of this study was to improve flowability and compressibility characteristics of starch to use as a suitable excipient in direct compression tabletting. quasi-emulsion solvent diffusion was used as a crystal modification method. materials and methods: corn starch was dissolved in hydrochloric acid at 80˚c and then ethanol as a non-solvent was added with lowering temperature ...

This paper presents the development of a 2D high-order solver with spectral difference method for unsteady incompressible Navier–Stokes equations accelerated by a p-multigrid method. This solver is designed for unstructured quadrilateral elements. Time-marching methods cannot be applied directly to incompressible flows because the governing equations are not hyperbolic. An artificial compressib...
