An analytical solution for rapidly distorted turbulent shear flow in a rotating frame
(2006)In this study we apply rapid distortion theory to the case of nonstratified homogeneous turbulence that is sheared in a frame that counter-rotates at a rate that matches in magnitude the rotation associated with the mean ...

Compression molding of semi-concentrated fiber suspensions: Flow and fiber orientation
(Publ by ASME, 1993)The focus of this paper is compression molding of semi-concentrated fiber suspensions. During compression molding a premeasured amount of raw material (charge) is placed between two halves of a die. The die is then closed ...

The contribution of active and inactive structures to the statistics of a turbulent pipe flow
(2017)The current study is a short follow-up to our most recent work (Stylianou et al., 2016), where among other things we have presented an effective criterion suitable for distinguishing large-scale coherent structures with ...

Injection molding of dilute and semi-dilute fiber suspensions
(Publ by ASME, 1992)The focus of this paper is unsteady flow of semi-dilute fiber suspensions in complex geometries. These flows are typical of injection molding problems in which the raw material in granular form, usually plastic resin mixed ...

Non-stationary texture segmentation using an AM-FM model
(1997)We present a novel method for segmenting non-stationary textures. Our approach uses a multidimensional AM-FM representation for the texture, and provides the FM features to an SOFM-LVQ neural network system that performs ...

A nonoverlapping domain decomposition method for Legendre spectral collocation problems
(2007)We consider the Dirichlet boundary value problem for Poisson's equation in an L-shaped region or a rectangle with a cross-point. In both cases, we approximate the Dirichlet problem using Legendre spectral collocation, that ...

Nucleon generalized form factors with twisted mass fermions
(Proceedings of Science (PoS), 2013)We present results on the nucleon form factors, momentum fraction and helicity moment for Nf = 2 and Nf = 2+1+1 twisted mass fermions for a number of lattice volumes and lattice spacings. First results for a new Nf = 2 ...

On the linear stability of turbulent plane strain flow in a rotating frame
(2007)We apply inviscid rapid distortion theory to the limiting hyperbolic case of turbulent plain strain flow in a rotating frame and investigate the dependence of the evolution of the turbulent kinetic energy on the frame ...

Perturbative renormalization of staggered fermion operators with stout improvement: Application to the magnetic susceptibility of QCD
(Proceedings of Science (PoS), 2013)We calculate the fermion propagator and the quark-antiquark Green's functions for a complete set of ultralocal fermion bilinears, Γ [Γ: scalar (S), pseudoscalar (P), vector (V), axial (A) and tensor (T)], using perturbation ...

Rapid shear of initially anisotropic turbulence in a rotating frame?
(2007)In the present study, we investigate, using inviscid rapid distortion theory, the evolution of sheared turbulence in a rotating frame as a function of the rotation rate (including stable, transitional, and unstable regimes), ...

Representing anisotropy of two-point second-order turbulence velocity correlations using structure tensors
(2008)A locally homogeneous representation for the two-point, second-order turbulent velocity fluctuation Rij(x,r) = 〈u′i(x)u′i(x+r)〉 is formulated in terms of three linearly independent structure tensors [Kassinos et al., J. ...

Search for excited and exotic electrons in the eγ decay channel in pp̄ collisions at √s= 1.96 TeV
(2005)We present a search for excited and exotic electrons (e*) decaying to an electron and a photon, both with high transverse momentum. We use 202 pb -1 of data collected in pp̄ collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV with the Collider ...

A structure-based model for transport in stably stratified homogeneous turbulent flows
(2017)We present an extension that allows a recently proposed structure-based model for turbulent scalar transport to account for buoyancy effects. The proposed model is based on a generalization of the Interactive Particle ...

Thermodynamic properties of QCD in external magnetic fields
(2012)We consider the effect of strong external electromagnetic fields on thermodynamic observables in QCD, through lattice simulations with 1+1+1 flavors of staggered quarks at physical quark masses. Continuum extrapolated ...

The transport of a passive scalar in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence subjected to mean shear and frame rotation
(2007)We consider the transport of a passive scalar under the influence of homogeneous turbulence in a conducting fluid that is exposed to a uniform external magnetic field while being sheared in fixed and rotating frames. The ...

Unsteady flow of semi-concentrated suspensions using finite deformation tensors
(1994)The interest in the theoretical investigation of the flow behavior of fiber suspensions during manufacturing processes has increased considerably due to the increased interest in the use of composite materials. The unsteady ...

The use of curved elements in the finite element approximation of thin plates by high order p and hp methods
(2006)In this article we focus on the approximation of the Reissner-Mindlin (R-M) plate model by high-order p and hp versions of the Finite Element Method (FEM), in the case when the mesh includes curved elements
