The steady two-dimensional flow of a viscous nanofluid of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow and heattransfer characteristics for the boundary layer flow over a nonlinear stretching sheet is considered. Theflow is caused by a nonlinear stretching sheet with effects of velocity, temperature and concentrationslips. Problem formulation is developed in the pre...

A novel two-thermocouple sensor characterisation method for use in variable velocity flow environments is described. A difference equation method, recently developed by the authors for constant velocity flow applications, is extended to accommodate variable velocity flows using polynomial parameter fitting on a sliding data window. In particular, by using a novel difference equation formulation...

A new discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for the Stokes equations is developed in primary velocity-pressure formulation. This employs polynomials both velocity and pressure on general polygonal/polyhedral meshes. Most methods with approximation have one or more stabilizing terms to guarantee stability convergence. has standard conforming formulation, without any stabilizers. Optimal-o...

We develop a mesoscopic dislocation dynamics model for vacancy-assisted dislocation climb by upscalings from a stochastic model on the atomistic scale. Our models incorporate microscopic mechanisms of (i) bulk diffusion of vacancies, (ii) vacancy exchange dynamics between bulk and dislocation core, (iii) vacancy pipe diffusion along the dislocation core, and (iv) vacancy attachment-detachment k...

One of the major problems in turbulent combustion is to predict the turbulent burning velocity, which can be increased by the turbulence compared to the laminar burning velocity. This requires the solution to a reacting ow problem, where the turbulence is coupled to the chemical reaction. The diculties lie in the fact that many disparate spatial and temporal scales are present in the convection...

In this paper, the differential quadrature method is applied to simulate natural convection in an inclined cubic cavity using velocity-vorticity formulation. The numerical capability of the present algorithm is demonstrated by application to natural convection in an inclined cubic cavity. The velocity Poisson equations, the vorticity transport equations and the energy equation are all solved as...

BACKGROUND Transvalvular peak pressure drops are routinely assessed noninvasively by echocardiography using the Bernoulli principle. However, the Bernoulli principle relies on several approximations that may not be appropriate, including that the majority of the pressure drop is because of the spatial acceleration of the blood flow, and the ejection jet is a single streamline (single peak veloc...

background: every year many organizations formulate a code of ethics (coe) but when it comes to implementing, it does not achieve the desired purposes. ineffectiveness of coes can stem from different factors and surely, one of them is bad formulation. this research was conducted to identify the barriers to effective formulation of coes in one of the main state universities of medical sciences i...

This study formulates a universal velocity ®eld that is kinematically admissible for application in the extrusion of non-axisymmetric rods. Then upper bound theorem dictates that a better upper bound solution heavily depends on the precise conformity of the velocity ®eld postulated. However, a compromise must frequently be made, since the formulation is in general rather complicated. The kinema...
