The aim of this paper is to study the dynamic characteristics of micromechanical rectangular plates used as sensing elements in a viscous compressible fluid. A novel modelling procedure for the plate-fluid interaction problem is developed on the basis of linearized Navier-Stokes equations and no-slip conditions. Analytical expression for the fluid-loading impedance is obtained using a double Fo...

When depth of flow past a river bridge exceeds opening under the bridge, the flow under the bridge becomes pressurized. The water is directed downward and under the bridge deck, causing increase in velocity and shear stress on the bed thereby increasing bed scour. This is termed as Pressure Flow Scour. The present study investigates the phenomenon of pressure flow scour resulting from a submerg...

Exposure to an aerial environment or severe nutrient limitation induces asexual differentiation in filamentous fungi. Submerged cultivation of Aspergillus niger in carbon- and energy-limited retentostat cultures both induces and fuels conidiation. Physiological and transcriptomic analyses have revealed that this differentiation strongly affects product formation. Since conidiation is inherent i...

In this study, Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) and Gas Metal (GMAW) processes were used in multi-pass welding of 33 mm thickness super duplex stainless steel plates. Recommended higher than recommended arc energy interpass temperatures used. Both GMAW SAW able to produce large weldments meeting the microstructural, mechanical, corrosion resistance requirements, also when using temperature. It was p...

In submerged arc welding process, the understanding of temperature distribution is essential in order to control the dimension of heat affected zone and to get the required weld bead shape and size etc. Moreover, the temperature profile is required to estimate the stress distribution in thermo mechanical analysis of the process. In this work, a numerical solution for moving heat source with Gau...

This study presents new and alternative fungal strains for the production of ligninolytic enzymes which have great potential to use in industrial and biotechnological processes. Thirty autochthonous fungal strains were harvested from Bornova-Izmir in Turkiye. In the fresh fruitbody extracts laccase, manganese peroxidase and lignin peroxidase activities, which are the principal enzymes responsib...

This paper presents the modelling and analysis of the noise radiation due to internal acoustic excitation of a cylinder submerged in a heavy fluid. The cylinder consists of a cylindrical shell filled with air and attached to rigid end plates. The acoustic excitation is modelled as monopoles to simulate the operation of a machine noise source in the cylindrical shell. In order to model the noise...

In the present work, the survivability of a submerged structure against loads, imposed by the operational environment, such as hydrostatic pressure is presented. The structure under consideration is a component (buffer bell) of a system called DIFIS that recovers fuel from shipwrecks. It consists of two parts: the reservoir and the floater. The floater is the part that produces the buoyancy for...
