We consider the motion of a compressible viscous fluid in the asymptotic regime of low Mach and high Reynolds numbers under strong stratification imposed by a conservative external force. Assuming a bi-dimensional character of the flow, we identify the limit system represented by the so-called lake equation the Euler system supplemented by an anelastic type constraint imposed by the limit densi...

In this study, modeling of a fuel jet which has been injected by high pressure into a low-pressure tank are investigated. Due to the initial conditions and the geometry of this case and similar cases (like CNG injectors in internal combustion engines (ICE)), the barrel shocks and Mach disk are observed. Hence a turbulence and transient flow will be expected with lots of shocks and waves. Accord...

A LL jets have noise generation due to turbulent mixing; such mixing leads to the production of Reynolds stresses, the source term within the Lighthill acoustic analogy [1]. In addition to this source, a jet that possesses coherent, large-scale structures that travel with velocities exceeding the local speed of sound will emit Mach wave radiation, a highly efficient noise production mechanism. ...

Pronounced bright and dark bands are seen at the bright and dark edges of half-shadows and similar distributions of illumination. These are the so-called Mach bands. A pair of vertical Mach bands was generated with a ramp pattern in the central strip of a horizontal tripartite oscilloscope display. This pattern consisted of two uniform fields (one of low luminance, one of high luminance) joined...

A new second order primitive preconditioner technique (an all speed method) for solving all speed single/multi-phase flow is presented. With this technique, one can compute both compressible and incompressible flows with Mach-uniform accuracy and efficiency (i.e., accuracy and efficiency of the method are independent of Mach numbers). The new primitive preconditioner (all speed/Mach uniform) te...

If Mach bands arise as an empirical consequence of real-world luminance profiles, several predictions follow. First, the appearance of Mach bands should accord with the appearance of naturally occurring highlights and lowlights. Second, altering the slope of an ambiguous luminance gradient so that it corresponds more closely to gradients that are typically adorned with luminance maxima and mini...

When undergraduate biology students learn to explain biological mechanisms, they face many challenges and may overestimate their understanding of living systems. Previously, we developed the MACH model of four components used by expert biologists to explain mechanisms: Methods, Analogies, Context, and How. This study explores the implementation of the model in an undergraduate biology classroom...

in future high-speed self-routing photonic networks based on all-optical time division multiplexing (otdm) it is highly desirable to carry out packet switching, clock recovery and demultplexing in the optical domain in order to avoid the bottleneck due to the optoelectronics conversion. in this paper we propose a self-routing otdm node structure composed of an all-optical router and demultiplex...

A variety of modern software packages are available for genotype imputation relying on advanced concepts such as pre-phasing of the target dataset or utilization of admixed reference panels. In this study, we performed a comprehensive evaluation of the accuracy of modern imputation methods on the basis of the publicly available POPRES samples. Good quality genotypes were masked and re-imputed b...
