Both animals and human toddlers can find an object in a rectangular enclosure after they have been disoriented. They use geometric cues (relative lengths of walls) to discriminate among different corners (e.g. long wall to the left, short to the right). It has been claimed that this ability is 'modular', i.e. exclusively geometric. The present study demonstrates that the ability toddlers exhibi...

In this paper, an extremely fast technique is introduced to evaluate the shielding effectiveness of a rectangular enclosure of finite wall thickness and numerous square or circular small apertures subject to a normally incident plane wave. The technique is based on the traditional waveguide circuit model where the enclosure is replaced with an equivalent shorted transmission line. In the propos...

Natural convection in a square enclosure having two wavy vertical walls is studied. An enclosure is filled with fluid-saturated porous media. A cavity is heated spatially on bottom wall while remaining walls are maintained at lower temperature. The objective of this study is to examine the flow field, temperature distribution and heat transfer inside the cavity when values of Darcy number, Rayl...

This article presents a numerical study of mixed-convection heat and mass transport in a liddriven square enclosure Ž lled with a non-Darcian  uid-saturated porous medium. The two vertical walls of the enclosure are insulated, while the horizontal walls are kept at constant but different temperatures and concentrations with the top surface moving at a constant speed. The transport equations ar...
