There are no studies specifically aimed at characterizing and quantifying drag forces on finite cylinder arrays in the mixing layer of compound channel flows. Addressing this research gap, the current study is aimed at characterizing experimentally d...
Natural convection heat transfer from an inclined array of square cross-section cylinders is experimentally studied. Three cylinders of side length D = 0.02 m and 1 m length are used to form the inclined array. Three-cylinder axis inclination angles...
Effects of the bounding solid walls are examined numerically for slow flow overregular, square arrays of circular cylinders between two parallel plates. A local magnitudeof the rate of entropy generation is used effectively to determine the flow regi...
Today, the use of numerical modeling for characterizing properties of porous media and related concepts has been widely extended, especially in subsurface flow issues such as geological CO2 storage and petroleum recovery. Therefore, in this study, th...
Gold nanohole arrays represent a class of bidimensional plasmonic metasurfaces that are suitable for realizing optical sensors. We propose a modeling approach based on a customized particle swarm optimization algorithm implemented in the commercial A...
The contact between the piston rings and the cylinder liner is an interface with a strong influence on the tribological behavior and, therefore, directly affects the useful life of the engine components and fuel consumption. Due to this importance, t...
We present a systematic approach to calculating the reflectance of aluminum thin films. In our approach, the rough aluminum surface is modelled as a square array of submicrometer-sized oblate cylinders. The focus of the study is on the vacuum ultravi...
This paper is devoted to a theoretical investigation on the wave amplitude enhancement of surface sea water waves with under-sea periodic arrays of cylinders. A two-dimensional shallow water wave equation is derived and solved by using the plane-wave...
This paper presents a modeling approach to feature classification and environment mapping for indoor mobile robotics via a rotary ultrasonic array and fuzzy modeling. To compensate for the distance error detected by the ultrasonic sensor, a novel fea...
Radial basis function generated finite differences (RBF-FD) represent the latest discretization approach for solving partial differential equations. Their benefits include high geometric flexibility, simple implementation, and opportunity for large-s...
Slightly off-axis digital holography is proposed using transmission grating to obtain quantitative phase distribution. The experimental device is based on an improved 4f optical system in which a two-window input plane is used to form the object beam...
