The lateral boundary conditions, rotation rates parameters, domain size, cylinder diameter, and Reynolds number are all responsible for the variation of the Strouhal number. In this study, we have varied the domain size, lateral boundary conditions, downstream locations, and the cylinder diameter at specific values of Reynolds number for stationary...

Athletes experience high levels of stress during sports activities. One of the most common activities is jumping. This is a very complex activity, which can lead to injuries and long recovery periods. In this research, professional athletes performed jumps in order to obtain ground force values from a force plate. A combination of ground force meas...

The unsteady investigation of ferrofluid flow forced convection over a downward step containing a rotating finned cylinder is conducted numerically. The dimensionless partial differential equations of conservation equations for mass, momentum and energy and the boundary conditions associated with them are solved by using the finite element method. ...

Today, it takes ten to twelve years on average to complete a clinical trial before a new drug is approved and brought to marktet. Moreover, the evaluation of the efficacy and safety of drugs or devices has been performed in the linear and sequential manner with limited change over the past decade. The InSilc project is an EU funded project (www.ins...

This is a feasibility study for the application of a novel concept of single-needle device for localized chemotherapy. Systemic chemotherapy has numerous and severe side effects. To conduct localized (electro)chemotherapy, we designed a novel device that does not currently exist on the market. Electrochemotherapy is based on the cell membranes temp...

Efficient memory handling is one of the key issues that engineers and programmers face in developing software for numerical analysis such as the Finite Element Method. This method operates on huge matrices that have a large number of zero coefficients which waste memory, so it is necessary to save it and to work only with non-zero coefficients usin...

Thermal diffusion and variable thermal conductivity effects on unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD), heat and mass transfer flow past an infinite vertical porous plate have been investigated and analyzed numerically. The resultant flow governing equations are resolved numerically by the finite-difference scheme of the Crank-Nicolson type implicit met...

Due to extensive research efforts within the past thirty years, the mechanisms by which bubbles transfer energy during pool boiling are relatively well understood and have various applications in reactors, rockets, distillation, air separation, refrigeration and power cycles. In this paper, CFD analysis of heat transfer characteristics in nucleate ...

Heart wall tissue plays a crucial role in living organisms by generating the mechanical force for blood flow. This tissue has a complex internal structure comprised mostly of muscle cells, in which biochemical energy is transformed into mechanical active stress under rhythmical electrical excitation. The overall heart functioning depends, among oth...

Elastic strain is covered by the effective medium homogenization method inside a representative volume element (RVE). It has an incremental quasi rate-independent (QRI) form obtained by the endochronic concept of thermodynamic time. The rate dependence takes place by means of stress rate dependent value of the initial yield stress. Free meso rotati...
