Physical field reconstruction from limited real-time data is a topical inverse problem that attracts substantial research effort, and complex geometries present a formidable challenge. The paper describes a reconstruction of the velocity field of ...$$

On-skin haptic interfaces using soft elastomers which are thin and flexible have significantly improved in recent years. Many are focused on vibrotactile feedback that requires complicated parameter tuning. Another approach is based on mechanical forces ...

Microfluidic technologies find application in various safety-critical fields such as medical diagnostics, drug research, and cell analysis. Recent work has focused on security threats to microfluidic-based cyberphysical systems and defenses. So far the ...

We present an algorithm for solving the Stokes system based on the Scott--Vogelius technique together with the iterated penalty method. We show that by projecting the Scott--Vogelius pressure onto a continuous function space we can recover an accurate, ...

A new high temperature solid particulate erosion test system has been designed at the National Physical Laboratory to improve the quality of high temperature erosion tests. The new test system is designed to carry out experiments at temperatures up to ...

This extended abstract summarizes a contributed/invited presentation delivered at PhysNet 2015

In the oil field development and production, fluid flow is an extremely important parameter which determines the transmission characteristics of the oil production, real-time monitoring of fluid flow parameter provides a scientific basis for oil and gas ...

Workers of the Argentine ant, Iridomyrmex humilis, are known to be capable to find efficiently the shortest route from their nest to a food source. Their approach is based on a simple pheromone trail-laying and following behaviour accessing only local ...

Physics-based flow visualization techniques seek to mimic laboratory flow visualization methods with virtual analogues. In this work we present the rendering of a virtual rheoscopic fluid (VRF) to produce images with results strikingly similar to ...

Emergent phenomena occur due to the pattern of non-linear and distributed local interactions between the elements of a system over time. Surprisingly, agent based crowd models, in which the movement of each individual follows a limited set of simple ...

Pervasive environments offer an increasing number of services to a large number of people moving within these environments including timely information about where to go and when. People using these services interact with the system but they are also ...

A mathematical simulation has been developed for the electromagnetic, fluid flow and temperature fields in a crucible induction furnace. The fluid flow field was represented by writing the axisymmetric turbulent Navier-Stokes equations, containing the ...

This paper presents the finite element (FE) model of elastic tube containing fluid flow, and simulation calculations are finished for different tubes including straight tube, 1/4 circular one and half circular one. Some conclusions which have ...

Energy consumption represents a major concern, considering the limited resources and latest targets for lower emissions of carbon dioxide. Therefore design of electric heating elements for household and industry are more and more subject to optimization,...

Plate heat exchangers are very important equipments used in industrial applications. The paper presents an analysis related to the influence of the number of plates on the performance of a heat exchanger. 3D models are made for eight cases and using ...

The paper proposes a method for analyzing the complexes phenomena's that appear in the case of fusion welded pool and keyholes welded pool geometry too. The proposed model consist in a succession of analyses steps, needed to solve the interaction ...

The permeability of a 3D geological fracture network is determined by triangulating the fractures and solving the 2D Darcy's equation in each fracture. Here, the numerical modelling aims to simulate a great number of networks made up of a great number ...

The embryonic vertebrate heart starts pumping long before the formation of valves and chambers. Zebrafish embryonic hearts are morphologically comparable to human embryonic hearts in early stage. Since they are optically transparent, they are of obvious ...

We introduce a fluid mechanics based tractography method that estimates the most likely connection path between points in a tensor distribution function (TDF) dataset. We simulated the flow of an artificial fluid whose properties are related to the ...

The dependence of the Marangoni flow and impurity distribution on the vertical temperature gradient is analyzed in the framework of a stationary model including the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation in the Boussinesq approximation and the convection-...
