An anisotropic refinement criterion suitable for Finite-Volume methods is presented and Navier–Stokes solutions are reported for the lid-driven cavity flow configuration at Re 1⁄4 1000 with adaptive anisotropic meshes (h-refinement). The a posteriori error estimation criterion is based on the assessment of the goodness-of-fit of the least squares regression used to perform the variables profile...

background: ovarian immature teratoma is a very rare type of tumor associated with a high relapse rate and mortality. correspondingly, early diagnosis is important for effective treatment. the goal of this study was to retrospectively analyze the ultrasound characteristics of 11 cases of immature teratomas. materials and methods: between january 2002 and december 2010, 11 patients were diagnose...

The numerical solutions of 2-D steady incompressible flow in a driven cavity are presented. The Navier-Stokes equations in streamfunction and vorticity variables are solved simply with Successive Over Relaxation (SOR) method. Using a very fine grid mesh with 1025 × 1025 points, the steady driven cavity flow is solved for Re ≤ 20,000. For accuracy, the iterations are carried out on the streamfun...

An experimental investigation of flow over an axisymmetric cavity shows that self-sustained, periodic oscillations of the cavity shear layer are associated with low cavity drag. In this low-drag mode the flow regulates itself to fix the mean-shear-layer stagnation point at the downstream corner. Above a critical value of the cavity width-to-depth ratio there is an abrupt and large increase of d...

In this study, the impact of laser energy deposition on pressure oscillations and relative sound pressure levels (SPL) in an open supersonic cavity flow is investigated. Laser energy with a magnitude of 100 mJ is deposited on the flow just above the cavity leading edge and up to 7 dB of reduction is obtained in the SPL values along the cavity back wall. Additionally, proper orthogonal decomposi...

A novel method for applying cavity ring-down spectroscopy in the liquid phase, compatible with LC analyses, is presented. The core of the setup is a home-built cavity ring-down flow cell (cell volume 12 microL) that is constructed using a silicon rubber spacer, which is clamped leak-tight between two high-reflectivity mirrors. The mirrors are in direct contact with the liquid flow, which provid...

An adaptive control system using extremum-seeking optimization is developed to suppress subsonic cavity flow oscillations. The overall control system is developed by following two steps. First, a simple linear control law which uses measurements of wall pressure fluctuations at two different locations in the cavity is developed, and the effect on the magnitude of the limit cycle produced by tun...
