A novel predictive model for the compressive strength development in class G cement slurries at different temperatures, retarder, and salt concentrations by Ali Barati Harooni, Hasan Maroof, Maryam Abdollahi Khoshmardan, Omid Pourali

“…In this research, several experiments were run utilizing a non-destructive approach by using the Ultrasonic Cement Analyzer (UCA) device to evaluate the influence of temperature, retarder, and salt concentrations on the delay of 24-hour cement compressive strength. Moreover, a computer-based Radial Basis Function optimized by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO-RBF) model with three layers was developed for the estimation of experimental compressive strength data. …”

A Numerical Study of Initiation and Migration of Trapped Oil in Capillaries with Noncircular Cross Sections by Long Long, Yajun Li, Houjian Gong, Mingzhe Dong

“…In this study, capillaries with three different cross sections were used to investigate the deformation law of oil and the pressure drop across these microchannels at different displacement velocities by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The geometrical structure of the microchannels was precisely controlled, and the migration process of the oil, which is too small to be observed by direct experimentation, was assessed and quantitatively analyzed. …”

Comparison of Presumed PDF Models of Turbulent Flames by Chen Huang, Andrei N. Lipatnikov

“…Commonly invoked for this purpose is a beta-function PDF or a combination of Dirac delta functions, with the parameters of the two PDFs being determined based on the values of their first and second moments computed by integrating proper balance equations. Because the choice of any of the above PDFs appears to be totally arbitrary as far as underlying physics of turbulent combustion is concerned, the use of such PDFs implies weak sensitivity of the key averaged quantities to the PDF shape. …”
