Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is used to simulate the lid driven cavity flow to explore the mechanism of non-Newtonian fluid flow. The power law model is used to represent the class of non-Newtonian fluids (shear-thinning and shear-thickening fluids) by considering a range of 0.8 to 1.6. Investigation is carried out to study the influence of power law index and Reynolds number on the variation...

This paper investigates the natural convection heat transfer performance in a complex-wavy-wall cavity filled with power-law fluid. In performing the simulations, the continuity, Cauchy momentum and energy equations are solved subject to the Boussinesq approximation using a finite volume method. The simulations focus specifically on the effects of the flow behavior index in the power-law model ...

Abstract. We report the results of extracting the hard X-ray continuum spectrum of Cas A SNR from RXTE/PCA Target of Opportunity observations (TOO) and CGRO/OSSE observations. The data can rule out the single thermal bremsstrahlung model for Cas A continuum between 2 and 150 keV. The single power law model gives a mediocre fit (∼5%) to the data with a power-law index, Γ = 2.94±0.02. A model wit...

for Two-Component Power Law Irregularity Spectra Charles S. Carrano, Charles L. Rino Institute for Scientific Research Boston College ABSTRACT We extend the phase screen power law theory for ionospheric scintillation to account for the case where the refractive index irregularities follow a two-component power law spectrum. The twocomponent model includes, as special cases, an unmodified power ...

This study is about the behavior of a fully developed incompressible reactive Power law fluid in steady flow between two insulated parallel plates. Both plates are kept at the same temperature, T0. It is assumed that the heat is generated by a chemical reaction term, which is uniformly distributed throughout the volume along with the viscous heating due to the reactive nature of the fluid. The ...

We present the results of a broad band (3-200 keV) spectral analysis of BeppoSAX and XMM-Newton observations of the Vela plerion. The hard X-ray (>15 keV) emission is found to be extended over a region of 12 ′ − 15 ′ radius, corresponding to a size of about 1.0–1.3 pc for a source distance of 290 pc. A single power law does not give an acceptable fit while a broken power law or a log-parabolic ...

The velocity, shear-rate, variable viscosity, and variable power-law index profiles are calculated for non-Newtonian fluids using the finite difference method. The calculations are carried out for an actual viscosity function obtained by a cilrve fit through measured data and for the corresponding power law model, the simplest and most often used form for non­ Newtonian viscosity function appro...

We present the results of 4 simultaneous observations of Cygnus X-1 by Ginga and OSSE. The X-ray/γray spectra can be described by an intrinsic continuum and a component due to Compton reflection including an iron Kα line. The intrinsic spectrum at X-ray energies is a power-law with a photon spectral index of Γ = 1.6. The intrinsic γ-ray spectrum can be phenomenologically described by either a p...

Using Monte Carlo methods to simulate the inverse Compton scattering of soft photons, we model the spectrum of the Galactic black hole candidate Cyg X-1, which shows evidence of a nonthermal tail extending beyond a few hundred keV. We assume an ad hoc sphere of leptons, whose energy distribution consists of a Maxwellian plus a high energy power-law tail, and inject 0.5 keV blackbody photons. Th...
