In this paper we propose a dual-time stepping scheme for the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. Dual-time has been used in context of other numerical methods simulation incompressible fluid flows. Here provide that combines entropically damped artificial compressibility (EDAC) along with stepping. The method is accurate, robust, and demonstrates up to seven times better performance t...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Skinfold thickness assessment is a widely recognized technique for the estimation of body adiposity and fat free mass. This method assumes that skinfolds' compressibility is constant but there are some factors that could influence its compressibility. This study aims to evaluate whether the skinfolds' compressibility is influenced by hydration status. METHODS AND STU...

In a former publication from this Laboratory, results on the compressibility of various minerals and rocks were presented.' At the time when these measurements were made the importance of the physical properties of the ultrabasic rocks was not fully appreciated. Realizing that too little emphasis had been placed on these materials we have now made a number of measurements on a rock approaching ...

Incompressible Navier-Stokes solvers based on the projection method often require an expensive numerical solution of a Poisson equation for a pressure-like variable. This often involves linear system solvers based on iterative and multigrid methods which may limit the ability to scale to large numbers of processors. The artificial compressibility method (ACM) [6] introduces a time derivative of...

Variable density incompressible flows are governed by parabolic equations. The artificial compressibility method makes these equations hyperbolic-type, which means that they can be solved using techniques developed for compressible flows, such as Godunov-type schemes. While the is well-established, its application to variable has been largely neglected in literature. This paper harnesses recent...

Preferential concentration of inertial particles in turbulence is studied numerically by evaluating the Lagrangian compressibility of the particle velocity field using the "full Lagrangian method." This is compared with the "mesoscopic Eulerian particle velocity field" both in a direct numerical simulation of turbulence and in a synthetic flow field. We demonstrate that the Lagrangian method, i...

Peats are geotechnically problematic soil due to their high compressibility and low shear strength. Cement is widely used for the stabilization of peat by deep mixing method (DMM). This paper presents the results of the model study of compressibility property of peats stabilized with cement columns formed by DMM. The results of consolidation test, scanning electron micrographs (SEM) and energy ...

investigating nozzle’s orifice flow is challenging both experimentally and theoretically. this paper focuses on simulating flow inside diesel injector nozzle via ansys fluent v15. validation is performed with experimental results from winkhofler et al (2001). several important parameters such as mass flow rate, velocity profiles and pressure profiles are used for this validation. results includ...

The compressibility factor of nonassociated chain molecules composed of hard convex core Yukawa segments was derived with SAFT-VR and an extension of the Barker-Henderson perturbation theory for convex bodies. The temperature-dependent chain and dispersion compressibility factors were derived using the Yukawa potential. The effects of temperature, packing fraction, and segment number on the com...
