The present work is aimed at studying the effect of solidification rate on reinforcement clustering in particle reinforced metal matrix composites (PMMCs) through numerical simulations and experimental studies. A macrotransport-solidification kinetics (MTS ...
It is well known that a simple binary feedback rate--based congestion avoidance scheme cannot ensure a fairness goal of the Available Bit Rate (ABR) service, namely, max-min fairness. In this paper we show how the rates are distributed for the network cons ...
A numerical model for a prechamber autoignition gas engine under development has been established based on an experimental test case. With a simplified finiterate/ eddy-dissipation model for the combustion of natural gas, it was possible to properly reprod ...
The proposed paper describes the modelling and the prediction of the steady- state or transient behaviour of different modern variable-speed drives. The necessity of a performant numerical simulation tool in order to guarantee an optimized design is illust ...
This paper presents a validation of numerical simulations in case of a forced oscillating hydrofoil. As a representative case study for vibrating blade in hydraulics machines, a 2D NACA 0009 oscillating hydrofoil is considered. Pressure coefficients from e ...
Knowledge of extreme precipitation phenomena is of crucial importance to the safety of civil engineering works and for electricity production management in a country of lakes and mountains like Switzerland. In order to study the distribution in space and t ...
This simulation study presents dynamic optimisation of a small size single basin wastewater treatment plant. The ob jectives are to determine an optimal sequence of aeration/non-aeration times and the corresponding periodical steady state sub ject to minim ...
Reservoir sedimentation by turbidity currents All lakes created on natural rivers are subjected to reservoir sedimentation. The construction of a dam significantly modifies the flow conditions of natural streams inside and downstream of an artificial lake. ...
This paper presents a numerical simulation of the flow field on a one-dimensional pneumatic actuator. Unlike conventional actuators, this model uses dynamic pressure instead of friction to drive a slider. The objective of this simulation is to know the det ...
