A conservative discontinuous Galerkin scheme for the 2D incompressible Navier–Stokes equations

In this paper we consider a conservative discretization of the two-dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. We propose an extension of Arakawa’s classical finite difference scheme for fluid flow in the vorticity–stream function formulation to a high order discontinuous Galerkin approximation. In addition, we show numerical simulations that demonstrate the accuracy of the scheme and verify the conservation properties, which are essential for long time integration. Furthermore, we discuss the massively parallel implementation on graphic processing units.     

Recommending suitable learning scenarios according to learners’ preferences: An improved swarm based approach

The paper presents a new approach for recommending suitable learning paths for different learners groups. Selection of the learning path is considered as recommendations to choosing and combining the sequences of learning objects (LOs) according to learners’ preferences. Learning path can be selected by applying artificial intelligence techniques, e.g. a swarm intelligence model. If we modify and/or change some LOs in the learning path, we should rearrange the alignment of new and old LOs and reallocate pheromones to achieve effective learning recommendations. To solve this problem, a new method based on the ant colony optimisation algorithm and adaptation of the solution to the changing optimum is proposed. A simulation process with a dynamic change of learning paths when new LOs are inserted was chosen to verify the method proposed. The paper contributes with the following new developments: (1) an approach of dynamic learning paths selection based on swarm intelligence, and (2) a modified ant colony optimisation algorithm for learning paths selection. The elaborated approach effectively assist learners by helping them to reach most suitable LOs according to their preferences, and tutors – by helping them to monitor, refine, and improve e-learning modules and courses according to the learners’ behaviour.

3-D hydrodynamics generated in a stirred vessel by a multiple-propeller system

The aim of this study is to optimize the position and the number of propellers in a non-standard tall vessel. Laser sheet flow visualization experiments were carried out for selected geometrical arrangements which produced stable flow patterns and good transport between the propellers. Four double-propeller arrangements corresponding to frequent industrial cases and a three-propeller system have been chosen. Comparison of LDA measurements in the r-z plane, dimensionless global parameters N_Qp, Nt_m, N_p, E_p and spatial distribution of local energy dissipation rate ? shows that a three-propeller system is the most efficient.     

Hydrodynamics of disturbed flow and erosion—corrosion. Part I — Single-phase flow study

Numerical simulations of turbulent flow have been used to determine the flow structure in a sudden pipe expansion, in order to explain the effects of disturbed flow on mass transfer controlled erosion–corrosion. Previously determined rates of mass transfer through the liquid boundary layer have been directly related to the predicted levels of near-wall turbulence. When rust films are present, the turbulent fluctuations affect both the mass transfer through the boundary layer and the removal of the film. The determining resistance to mass transfer, under the conditions examined, was that of the rust film.     

In-situ monitoring of the stabilization with hydrogen of free radicals thermally induced from coal using high pressure e.s.r., d.t.a. and p.d.a. equipment

High temperature, high pressure e.s.r. measurements of the hydrogenation reaction of Taiheiyo coal in the presence of catalysts were carried out to understand the stabilization of thermally and/or catalytically induced free radicals. A decrease in free radical concentration with increasing temperature was observed for ZnCl₂ and SnCl₂ · 2H₂O catalysts at 10MPa under hydrogen gas. High pressure modified single-cell d.t.a. and p.d.a. equipment augmented the uniquely designed high temperature, high pressure e.s.r. cell. The hydrogenation reaction was monitored under the same experimental conditions as for e.s.r. From the results of the combination of high temperature, high pressure e.s.r. with high pressure d.t.a. and p.d.a., it was established that H₂ molecules can react efficiently with free radicals from coal molecules created by the presence of ZnCl₂ and SnCl₂ · 2H₂O catalysts.

MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF THROUGH-HOLE-PLATING IN ELECTROCHEMICAL MICROFABRICATION II. AXISYMMETRIC TWO-DIMENSIONAL CONVECTIVE MASS TRANSFER

Axisymmetrical, two dimensional mass transfer in a tube and a through-hole was studied. The elliptic convective-diffusion equation was solved numerically by taking into account both the axial and radial diffusion in the entrance region of an infinite tube. The whole mass-transfer region in a tube of finite length was also studied by dividing the domain into several regions according to different mass-transfer mechanisms. A similar analysis is then conducted for a through-hole geometry by assuming a modified Hagen-Poiseuille fluid pattern. Results show that mass-transfer rate in a through-hole is larger than that in a tube by approximately 10%. This is due primarily to faster fluid flow within the concentration boundary layer in a through-hole.
