Abstract. The Direct Simulation Monte-Carlo (DSMC) technique is used for numerical analysis of rarefied-gas hypersonic flows near a blunt plate, wedge, two side-by-side plates, disk, torus, and rotating cylinder. The role of various similarity parameters (Knudsen and Mach numbers, geometrical and temperature factors, specific heat ratios, and others) in aerodynamics of the probes is studied. Im...

In this paper an exact formulation of the plane elasticity problem for a hollow cylinder or a disk containing a radial crack is given. The crack may be an external edge crack, an internal edge crack, or an embedded crack. It is assumed that on the crack surfaces the shear traction is zero and the normal traction is an arbitrary function of r. For various crack geometries and radius ratios, the ...

In this article, the magneto-thermo-elastic problem of exponentially graded material (EGM) hollow rotating disk placed in uniform magnetic and temperature fields is considered. Exact solutions for stresses and perturbations of the magnetic field vector in EGM hollow rotating disk are determined using the infinitesimal theory of magneto-thermo-elasticity under plane stress. The material properti...

in this study, the characteristics of the wake around a rotating circular cylinder have been investigated experimentally. to this end, a cylinder with a circular cross-section of plexiglas with the length of 400 mm and a diameter of 20 mm have been tested in the wind tunnel. using existing methods, the characteristics of the wake and the drag coefficients of the model in different cases have be...

Rotating cylinders have wide applications in different areas, especially the aerodynamic area. However, the acoustic behaviors of these components have not been widely studied. The generating noise from a spinning cylinder is mainly due to the detached vortices from the leeward of the body. In this study, the large eddy simulation technique is used to simulate the flow field over a three-dimens...

Direct numerical simulations are used to investigate the Open Von Kármán Swirling Flow, a new type of unsteady three-dimensional flow that is formed between two counter-rotating coaxial disks with an axial extraction enclosed by a cylinder chamber. Solution verification shows that monotonic convergence is achieved on three systematically refined grids for average pressure at the disk periphery ...

background: leishmaniases are a group of diseases caused by leishmania parasites .  growing of drug unresponsiveness in leishmaniasis patients necessitates the development of new drugs and accor­dingly a suitable assay is needed for evaluation of any modalities.  the aim of this study was to compare four drug assays methods, agar dilution, broth dilution, cylinder plate and disk diffusion, for ...

Potential flow over rotating cylinder is usually solved by the singularity method. However,in this paper a mathematical solution is presented for this problem by direct solution of the Laplace’sequation. Flow over the cylinder was considered non-viscous. Neumann and Dirichlet boundaryconditions were used on the solid surfaces and in the infinity, respectively. Because of non-viscous flow,the La...
