Occurrence of laminar separation bubbles on solid walls of an elliptic cylinder has been simulated using a recently developed transitional model for boundary layer flows. Computational method is based on the solution of the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the eddy-viscosity concept. Transitional model tries to simulate streamwise fluctuations, induced by freestream turbulen...

discrete element method (dem) is extensively used for mathematical modeling and simulating the behavior of discrete discs and discrete spheres in two and three dimensional space, respectively. prediction of particles flow regime, power draw and kinetic energy for a laboratory or an industrial mill is possible by dem simulation. in this article, a new approach was used to assess the main paramet...

UNLABELLED Kinetic (or compartment) modeling is a highly versatile tool for the analysis of experiments within living systems. In PET, it is essential for developing tracers, for assessing tracer behavior and for extracting quantitative information about the target process. However, tools to support the modeling tasks involved are not easily available. METHODS This article presents a requirem...

Parametric-fitting approaches for tracer kinetic modeling depend on the capability of a computational method to describe underlying physiologic processes that cause temporal intensity changes in dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) images. Rapid scan techniques allow perfusion CT imaging with high temporal resolution. In clinical practice, however, the perfusion CT protocol is especially a trade-off...

kinetics of single cell protein production from natural gas by a microorganism (a methylomonas sp.) was studied experimentally and by modeling at equal amount of air and natural gas. kinetic models of monod, moser, teissier, aiba, andrews, and noack were used for illustrating cell growth. methane and oxygen were considered as limited substrates with concentration in the range 2-10 mg/lit. death...

mathematical modeling and simulation of microbial polyhydroxybutyrate (phb) production process is beneficial for optimization, design, and control purposes. in this study a batch model developed by mulchandani et al., [1] was used to simulate the process in matlab environment. it was revealed that the kinetic model parameters were estimated off the optimal or at a local optimal point. therefore...
