Sand traps are used to measure Aeolian flux. Since they modify the surrounding wind velocity field their gauging represents an important challenge. We use numerical simulations under the assumption of homogeneous turbulence based on FLUENT to systematically study the flow field and trapping efficiency of one of the most common devices based on a hollow cylinder with two slits. In particular, we...

Graphene is a one-atom thick planar monolayer of sp-bonded carbon atoms organized in a hexagonal crystal lattice. A single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) can be thought of as a graphene sheet rolled up into a seamless hollow cylinder with extremely high length to diameter ratio. Their large surface area, and exceptional optical, mechanical and electronic properties make these low-dimensional ca...

The stress distribution and dislocation forces for screw dislocations near cavities and straight boundaries are examined, depending on the selected cut used to impose a displacement discontinuity and create a dislocation. The location of the equilibrium dislocation position is determined in each considered case. The slip-induced stress amplification in thin ligaments between a cavity and a stra...

A hollow cylinder apparatus was used to investigate the inherent anisotropy and membrane penetration of Leighton Buzzard sand test-specimens. The degree of inherent anisotropy was found to be independent of the mean effective stress but dependent on the initial relative density of the test-specimen. In the vertical-tohorizontal directions, the degree of inherent anisotropy decreases with increa...

We examined whether 18-, 24-, and 42-month-old children, like adults, prospectively adjust their hand movements to insure a comfortable hand posture at the endpoint, and whether children can learn to grasp efficiently by observation. The task required grasping a bar and fitting it into a hollow cylinder in order to make it light up. Measures of quantitative (grip height), as well as qualitative...

Abstract This article considers a thin-walled hollow cylinder, which is composed of fibrous and swellable hyperelastic material. The fibers are arranged in two families they taken to be parallel within each fiber family. also assumed mechanically equivalent symmetrically disposed the ground substance At instant homogeneous swelling, material incompressible. studies interplay orientation, mechan...

This study aims to get the moment of inertia in compound objects by comparing calculation results with help Video-based Laboratory, namely Tracker software. The variable used is difference number balls fill cavity on cylinder which a hollow containing 1 solid ball, 2 then 3 balls. have same radius. Based comparison between value obtained tracker and integral result one there about ±0,070 x10 -...

In most materials, there exists a coupling effect between heat and moisture during their transient diffusion. In particular, the coupling effect gives a significant change in the distributions of temperature and moisture concentration in some porous materials and resin composites (Chang, et al., 1991). Moreover, it is known that the absorption of moisture by hygroscopic materials under high-tem...

Bioartificial liver support provides a bridge to transplantation which is at present the only proven specific treatment for acute liver failure. In this paper, a novel multi-coaxial hollow fiber bioreactor so-called "Fibre-in-Fibre FIF Bioartificial liver device" with three compartments is experimentally and mathematically studied. The mathematical model in this paper is an extension of Krogh c...
