Flow through a twisted-tape (swirler) creates a complicated vortex structure downstream in the pipe. Detailed velocity measurements with Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) along horizontal and vertical axes perpendicular to ...

This paper presents a new non-gradient nature-inspired method, Lion Pride Optimization Algorithm (LPOA) for solving optimal design problems. This method is inspired by the natural collective behavior of lions in their ...

In this study, shape of water droplets with different sizes on various inclined smooth surfaces is simulated numerically and advancing and receding contact angles are determined by using the molecular dynamics approach. ...

Predicting multiphase flows in curved pipes is of great importance in industrial equipment. In the present study, a computational model for predicting the velocity profile is developed and used to study the developing ...

In this paper vibrational analysis of size dependent micro-ring gyroscope under electrostatic DC voltage is performed. Based on the modified couple stress theory, Hamilton's principle and in-extensionality approximation ...
