Gas-lift pumps are devices for lifting liquid phase incorporating the gas phase to be injected in the bottom of liquid column. They are widely used in various industrial applications such as oil extracting in petroleum industries. Gas-liquid flow being the main part of the flow through these systems, flowing in vertical pipes of gas-lift pumps has different regimes namely bubbly, slug, chur...

the current manuscript presents the validation of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (sph) techniques for wave generation by underwater explosion, utilizing the so-called dualsphysics numerical model. this numerical method is used to analyze generated waves which are initiated by man-made or natural explosions below free surface level of sea. in spite of the modeling limitations (e.g. absence of o...

the number of constructed dams has been largely increased due to high demands of water supplies, and earth dams are the most common types since they are more compatible to the environment. nevertheless, the stability of these important structures during earthquakes has to be carefully evaluated and guaranteed. in the past, earth dams usually designed with pure clay core, but in recent decades t...

Nowadays, numerical models have great importance in every field of science, especially for solving the nonlinear differential equations, partial differential equations, biochemical reactions, etc. The total time evolution of the reactant concentrations in the basic enzyme-substrate reaction is simulated by the Runge-Kutta of order four (RK4) and by nonstandard finite difference (NSFD) method. A...
