... in a moving fluid. Our approach seeks solutions using the Newton–Raphson method for the fiber’s linear and angular velocities such that the net hydrodynamic forces and torques acting on the fiber are zero. Fiber motion is then computed with a Runge-Kutta method to update the fiber position and orientation...

...Seounghyun Ham; Shiv G. Kapoor; Richard E. DeVor; John E. Wentz A three-dimensional fluid dynamic model is developed to predict flux decline due to membrane fouling during the microfiltration of semisynthetic metalworking fluids. The model includes surface forces as well as hydrodynamic effects...

... of microfiltration is membrane fouling, which is the blocking of membrane pores causing reduced flux. In this paper a fluid dynamic model of partial and complete blocking in sintered alumina membranes is developed that includes hydrodynamic, electrostatic, and Brownian forces. Model simulations are employed to study...

..., acceleration, and maximum shear strain component during cell direct writing using a mesh-free smooth particle hydrodynamic method. Such cell mechanical loading profile information can be used to understand and predict possible impact-induced cell damage. It is found that the cell membrane usually undergoes...

...D. K. Y. Low; L. Li; P. J. Byrd Laser drilling is a complex process that involves material removal through both vaporization and hydrodynamic melt ejection. The process is further complicated when an assist gas is incorporated, which is often the case under most practical drilling conditions...
