A variety of scientific and industrial projects, such as segmented ground based telescopes, compact space based observers, short wavelength microlithography and high power laser systems, demand metre scale ultra-prec ...

Simulation of horizontal oil-water flow with matched density and medium viscosity ratio (μo/μw=18.8) in several different flow regimes (core annular flow, oil plugs/bubbles in water and dispersed flow) was performed with ...

To satisfy the worldwide demand for large ultra-precision optical surfaces, a fast process chain - grinding, polishing and plasma figuring- has been established by the Precision Engineering Institute at Cranfield University. ...

The one goal of this research is to present the adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) technique for one dimensional two-phase slug flows. Uniform fine meshes for these long devices are costly and, in general situations, the ...

The sponsoring company of the project is BP. The framework within which the research is placed is that of the Transient Multiphase Flow Programme (TMF-4), a consortium of companies that are interested in phenomena related ...

Numerous approaches have been proposed for solving partial differential equations; all these methods have their own advantages and disadvantages depending on the problems being treated. In recent years there has been ...
