Detailed computational simulations of turbulent flows and pollution dispersion in city canyons have been carried out using the computational fluid dynamics package CFX-5, which is capable of using unstructured meshes and a variety of turbulence closure schemes. The simulations have been done for city canyons with simple to complex structures. As a validation of CFX-5, a roof garden test is cond...

We report on results from an interdisciplinary research project of computer scientists, mechanical engineers and numerical analysts from industry and academia. We have designed and implemented a portable distributed memory parallel version of CFX-TfC, a state of the art computational fluid dynamics simulation software package that features finite volume discretization on unstructured hybrid gri...

In this paper, performance of centrifugal pump as turbine (PAT) is investigated numerically. Three different specific speeds are considered and three pumps are designed using diagrams from catalogues and CFturbo V.9 software. Next, models are analyzed by Ansys CFX 16 software and results are compared with those of CFturbo software. Also, a mesh study analysis for one case is performed in order ...

Background: The extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the leading causes health-associated infections (HAIs), whose antibiotic treatments have been severely reduced. Moreover, HAI bacteria may harbor pathogenic factors such as siderophores, enzymes, or capsules, which increase virulence these strains. Thus, new therapies, antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation...

The purpose of this project was to develop and validate a pharmacokinetic model and to quantify the rate and extent of distribution between plasma and skin of two beta-lactam antibiotics, amoxicillin (AMX) and cefuroxime (CFX), which are frequently administered systemically to treat skin and skin structure infections. Dosing regimens are usually based on plasma concentration, however, concentra...

In present work, a compressor configuration is taken from literature which will be studied for aspect ratio (ratio between length of blade to chord length) influence over performance. Performance in the sense is pressure ratio of compressor. The aspect ratio of the blade is an important parameter and has a strong influence on the performance of axial flow compressor. There are so many literatur...
