The Singular Function Boundary Integral Method for singular Laplacian problems over circular sections
(2010)
The Singular Function Boundary Integral Method (SFBIM) for solving two-dimensional elliptic problems with boundary singularities is revisited. In this method the solution is approximated by the leading terms of the asymptotic ...
Hindcast of oil-spill pollution during the Lebanon crisis in the Eastern Mediterranean, July-August 2006
(2011)
MOON (Mediterranean Operational Oceanography Network http://www.moon-oceanforecasting.eu) provides near-real-time information on oil-spill detection (ocean color and SAR) and predictions [ocean forecasts (MFS and CYCOFOS) ...
Co-Inheritance of Functional Podocin Variants with Heterozygous Collagen IV Mutations Predisposes to Renal Failure
(2015)
BACKGROUND/AIMS: A subset of patients who present with proteinuria and are diagnosed with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) have inherited heterozygous COL4A3/A4 mutations and are also diagnosed with thin basement ...
Combined effects of compressibility and slip in flows of a Herschel-Bulkley fluid
(2013)
In this work, the combined effects of compressibility and slip in Poiseuille flows of Herschel-Bulkley fluids are investigated. The density is assumed to obey a linear equation of state, and wall slip is assumed to follow ...
The singular function boundary integral method for an elastic plane stress wedge beam problem with a point boundary singularity
(2014)
The singular function boundary integral method (SFBIM) is applied for the numerical solution of a 2-D Laplace model problem of a perfectly elastic wedge beam under plane stress conditions. The beam has a point boundary ...
Newtonian flow in a triangular duct with slip at the wall
(2013)
We consider the Newtonian Poiseuille flow in a tube whose cross-section is an equilateral triangle. It is assumed that boundary slip occurs only above a critical value of the wall shear stress, namely the slip yield stress. ...
Cessation of viscoplastic Poiseuille flow in a square duct with wall slip
(2015)
We solve numerically the cessation of the pressure-driven Poiseuille flow of a Bingham plastic under the assumption that slip occurs along the wall following a generalized Navier-slip law involving a non-zero slip yield ...
Hemodynamics in stenotic vessels of small diameter under steady state conditions: Effect of viscoelasticity and migration of red blood cells
(2015)
BACKGROUND: In microcirculation, the non-Newtonian behavior of blood and the complexity of the microvessel network are responsible for the high flow resistance and the large reduction of the blood pressure. Red blood cell ...
A note on the unbounded creeping flow past a sphere for Newtonian fluids with pressure-dependent viscosity
(2015)
We investigate theoretically isothermal, incompressible, creeping Newtonian flows past a sphere, under the assumption that the shear viscosity is pressure-dependent, varying either linearly or exponentially with pressure. ...
Cessation of viscoplastic Poiseuille flow with wall slip
(2014)
We solve numerically the cessation of axisymmetric Poiseuille flow of a Herschel-Bulkley fluid under the assumption that slip occurs along the wall. The Papanastasiou regularization of the constitutive equation is employed. ...
