Abstract A numerical investigation through laminar natural convection has been executed to illuminate the effect of curvature ratio in an arch enclosure filled with water. The left side wall of the cavity is maintained at a higher temperature than that of the right side wall while the other walls are kept insulated. The governing equations such as continuity, momentum and energy equation are solved by finite volume method. The effect of pertinent parameters such as curvature ratio (1≤ CR ≤ 1.5) and Rayleigh number (1×10⁴ ≤ Ra ≤ 1×10⁶) and) on heat transfer are calculated by commercial available computational fluid dynamics… More >

Abstract The effect of jet Reynolds number, jet exit angle, the nozzle to surface distance, jet to jet spacing on the heat transfer, and pressure force performance from multiple impinging round jets on a moving curved surface have been numerically evaluated. Two correlations are developed and validated for the average Nu number and the pressure force coefficient and the agreement between the CFD and correlations was reasonable. The surface motion effect becomes more pronounced on the Nu number distribution for low jet Re number, high jet to jet spacing, large jet to surface distance, and angled jets. The pressure force coefficient… More >

Abstract The effect of surface curvature, number of jets, number of jet rows, jet arrangement, crossflow, and surface motion on the heat transfer and pressure force performance from multiple impinging round jets on the moving flat and curved surface have been numerically evaluated. The more number of jets (more than three jets) has no significant effect on the average heat transfer rate. The more number of jet rows increases the strength of wall jets interference and crossflow effects and degrade the average heat transfer rates. There is a minor difference between inline and staggered arrangements on both moving flat and curved… More >

Abstract In the present study, the use of wavy fin turbulators on the annulus body of a double pipe air heater has been numerically investigated. The inner pipe consists of hot water whereas the annular section consists of cold air whose Reynolds Number (Re) ranged from 3000-15,000. Rectangular crosssectioned wavy fin turbulators with various curvature ratios of 2, 3, 5, and 7.5 is numerically simulated to investigate the influence of curvature effects on turbulence. Results have been compared with the bare pipe and with rectangular straight fins. It is seen that wavy fin turbulators perform better (compared to (other two) bare… More >

Abstract In this paper, we define the curve at a constant distance from the edge of regression on a curve r(s) with arc length parameter s in Galilean 3-space. Here, d is a non-isotropic or isotropic vector defined as a vector tightly fastened to Frenet trihedron of the curve r(s) in 3-dimensional Galilean space. We build the Frenet frame of the constructed curve with respect to two types of the vector d and we indicate the properties related to the curvatures of the curve . Also, for the curve , we give the conditions to be a circular helix. Furthermore, we… More >

Abstract In this study, we examine the possible relations between the Frenet planes of any given two curves in three dimensional Lie groups with left invariant metrics. We explain these possible relations in nine cases and then introduce the conditions that must be met to coincide with the planes of these curves in nine theorems. More >

Abstract The long twisted fragile tube, termed as spinal cord, can be named as the second vital organ of Central Nervous System (CNS), after brain. In human anatomy, all crucial life activities are controlled by CNS. The spinal cord does not only control the flow of information from the brain to rest of the body, but also takes charge of our reflexes control and the mobility of body. It keeps the body upright and acts as the main support for the flesh and bones. Spine deformity can occur by birth, due to aging, injury or spine surgery. In this research article,… More >

Abstract Due to widespread applications of the bent ducts in engineering fields such as in chemical, mechanical, bio-mechanical and bio-medical engineering, scientists have paid considerable attention to invent new characteristics of fluid flow in a bent duct (BD). In the ongoing study, a spectral-based numerical technique is applied to explore flow characteristics and energy distribution through a loosely bent square duct (BSD) of small curvature. Flow is accelerated due to combined action of the non-dimensional parameters; the Grashof number Gr (=1000), the curvature (=0.001), and the Prandtl number Pr (=7.0) over a wide domain of the Dean number .

Abstract Longitudinal stent foreshortening is a known phenomenon, however, the impact of coronary artery curvature on longitudinal stent foreshortening remains unclear. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of coronary artery curvature on the longitudinal stent foreshortening in the real-world scenarios. A total of 86 consecutive patients underwent coronary stent implantation were included in the present study. The degree of coronary artery curvature was defined as the length of the coronary artery curvature divided by the straight length. Longitudinal stent foreshortening was defined as the stent length after implantation divided by the stent length before implantation. The mean… More >

Abstract In this paper, stress distribution is examined in the case where infinite length co-phase periodically curved two neighboring hollow fibers are contained by an infinite elastic body. The midline of the fibers is assumed to be in the same plane. Using the three-dimensional geometric linear exact equations of the elasticity theory, research is carried out by use of the piecewise homogeneous body model. Moreover, the body is assumed to be loaded at infinity by uniformly distributed normal forces along the hollow fibers. On the inter-medium between the hollow fibers and matrix surfaces, complete cohesion conditions are satisfied. The boundary form… More >
