An Adaptively Refined Cartesian Mesh Solver for the Euler Equations
(Elsevier, 1993-01)
A method for adaptive refinement of a Cartesian mesh for the solution of the steady Euler equations is presented. The algorithm creates an initial uniform mesh and cuts the body out of that mesh. The mesh is then refined ...
An integral method for mixing, chemical reactions, and extinction in unsteady strained diffusion layers
(Elsevier, 1991-02)
An integral method is presented for determining the evolution of molecular mixing, finite rate chemical reactions, and local extinction in diffusion layers under the effect of an unsteady strain rate. The partial differential ...
Asymptotic analysis of the shock wave ignition of dust particles
(Elsevier, 1990-09)
The critical energy required to initiate dust detonations in tubes of finite diameter depends on the structure of the reaction zone, and especially upon the length of the induction zone, which, in turn, is determined by ...
Numerical simulation of dust explosions in pneumatic conveyors
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1999-04)
Dust conveyors are used in a wide range of industrial applications. Explosions can be transmitted through dust conveyors to different parts of a processing facility and thus can cause a large amount of damage. In order to ...
Use of a rotated Riemann solver for the two-dimensional Euler equations
(Elsevier, 1993-06)
A scheme for the two-dimensional Euler equations that uses flow parameters to determine the direction for upwind -differencing is described. This approach respects the multi-dimensional nature of the equations and reduces ...
Forced non-linear vibrations of a damped sandwich beam
(Elsevier, 1971-07-08)
Forced, damped, non-linear, low-frequency flexural motions of a clamped-clamped sandwich beam with thin face sheets and a soft viscoelastic core are examined experimentally and theoretically. The theory employed neglects ...
A numerical simulation of a vortex convected through a laminar premixed flame
(Elsevier, 1992-12)
A numerical study was conducted to understand how a vortex, when convected at moderate speeds across a premixed flame, can induce velocities that pull the flame along with the vortex, causing flame elongation and unsteady ...
Investigation of organic dust detonation in the presence of chemically inert particles,
(Elsevier, 1994-12)
The results of experimental studies of organic dust detonation in the presence of chemically inert particles are presented. Tests were carried out using a vertical detonation tube, and direct streak pictures showing the ...
