Shear stress on blood cells and platelets transported in a turbulent flow dictates the fate and biological activity of these cells. We present a theoretical link between energy dissipation in turbulent flows to the shear stress that cells experience and show that for the case of physiological turbulent blood flow: (a) the Newtonian assumption is valid, (b) turbulent eddies are universal for the...

5 The authors analyze of the moist static energy budget over the region of the tropical Indian 6 ocean covered by the sounding array during the CINDY/DYNAMO field experiment in late 7 2011. The analysis is performed using the sounding array complemented by the Objectively 8 Analyzed air-sea Fluxes for the Global Oceans (OAflux) and Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant 9 Energy System (CERES) data for...

5 The authors analyze the column-integrated moist static energy budget over the region of 6 the tropical Indian ocean covered by the sounding array during the CINDY/DYNAMO field 7 experiment in late 2011. The analysis is performed using data from the the sounding array 8 complemented by the Objectively Analyzed air-sea Fluxes for the Global Oceans (OAflux) 9 and Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant E...

this paper measures event risk which is introducing by the ball committee to measure the effect of sudden news. this study calculates event risk by using the data of registered firms in tehran stock market between 1993 and 1994. for computing event risk, we use daily market capitalization for 80 firms during 1993-2009, then dividing these firms to three baskets; big, medium and small. the model...

Hydrodynamic of a turbulent impinging jet on a flat plate has been studied experimentally and numerically. Experiments were conducted for the Reynolds number range of 72000 to 102000 and a fixed jet-to-plate dimensionless distance of H/d=3.5. Based on the experimental setup, a multi-phase numerical model was simulated to predict flow properties of impinging jets using two turbulent models. Mesh...

In this study, the thermal characteristics of turbulent nanofluid flow in a helical tube in the tube heat exchanger (HTTHE) were assessed numerically through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. The findings of both the turbulent models: realizable k-epsion (k-ε) and re-normalisation group (RNG) k-epsilon were compared. The temperature distribution contours show that realizable and RN...

The spectral vanishing viscosity (SVV) method has recently appeared of interest for the large-eddy simulation (LES) of turbulent flows. Here we show that the SVV-LES approach allows to easily compute turbulent quantities, like the dissipation rates of the turbulent kinetic energy or of the variance of a passive scalar and to clearly discern the subgrid and viscous contributions. Results obtaine...

We re-examine the Boussinesq hypothesis of an effective turbulent viscosity within the context of simple closure considerations for models of strong magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. Reynolds-stress and turbulent Maxwell-stress closure models will necessarily introduce a suite of transport coefficients, all of which are to some degree model-dependent. One of the most important coefficients is the...
