Linear-constant velocity-pressure elements are enriched with residual-free macro bubbles. Static condensation prompts a stabilized method for this element, where mesh-dependent jumps of the normal stress are added across internal edges of the underlying macroelements. This procedure renders the SIMPLEST element stable.

A method was designed to evaluate the resistance of amalgam mixes to condensation forces. For the purpose of classification with respect to the plasticity of amalgam, the optimum test condition was to apply 40 or 50 lb of static load at 30 sec after trituration.

Abstract We propose a p -multilevel preconditioner for hybrid high-order (HHO) discretizations of the Stokes equation, numerically assess its performance on two variants method, and compare with classical discontinuous Galerkin scheme. An efficient implementation is proposed where coarse level operators are inherited using $$L^2$$ <mml:m...

It is well known that multivalent cations cause free DNA in solution to condense into nanometer-scale particles with toroidal and rod-like morphologies. However, it has not been shown to what degree kinetic factors (e.g., condensate nucleation) versus thermodynamic factors (e.g., DNA bending energy) determine experimentally observed relative populations of toroids and rods. It is also not clear...

Dropwise condensation processes, where condensation occurs through small droplets on a solid surface, has been demonstrated to significantly improve heat transfer rates in comparison to film-wise condensation (where a whole surface is covered by a thin film of liquid). Dropwise condensation usually takes place on superhydrophobic surfaces, and one of the main engineering and scientific challeng...

Abstract We exactly calculate the full temperature dependence of Casimir-like forces appearing between two and three static impurities loaded in ideal Bose gas below Bose–Einstein condensation transition point. Assuming short-ranged character boson-impurity interaction, calculation procedure presented here can be easily extended on a system with an arbitrary number immersed.
