Simulation Analysis of Air Flow and Turbulence Statistics in a Rib Grit Roughened Duct by I. I. Vogiatzis, A. C. Denizopoulou, G. K. Ntinas, V. P. Fragos

“…In this paper we investigate the two-dimensional, turbulent, unsteady flow around rectangular ribs of variable aspect ratios by directly solving the transient Navier-Stokes and continuity equations using the finite elements method. Flow characteristics and several aspects of turbulent flow are presented and discussed including velocity components and statistics of turbulence. …”

Control of local stress in semiconductor silicon structures by S. F. Sianko, V. A. Zelenin

“…This method is based on consequent measurements of intensity of Makyoh image elements of the structure along the chosen direction followed by calculation of micro-geometrical profile and curvature radius.The estimation of residual stress of topological elements Si–SiO system was carried out by means of calculation of interference pictures obtained in a film-substrate gap after separating of film edge from substrate along open window perimeter.Analytical expressions relating semiconductor structure image characteristics with their deformation were developed by means of finite elements method. The expressions allow determining of local residual stress of chosen area of the structure. …”
