A Comparison Investigation on Cylinder Test in Different Ambient Media by Experiment and Numerical Simulation by Fan Zhang, Fei Shen, Biaobiao Li, Baohui Yuan, Bing Li

“…When the detonation reaction occurs after the charge in the warhead is ignited, the propagation of the detonation wave and the expansion of the detonation product will interact with the wrapped metallic shell and cause the shell material to accelerate, extremely deform, and eventually rupture, which is a typical strong fluid-structure interaction problem. In this paper, a comparison investigation on a cylinder test in different ambient media was implemented by experiment and numerical simulation, respectively. …”

A Mathematical Model for the Flow Resistance and the Related Hydrodynamic Dispersion Induced by River Dunes by Marilena Pannone, Annamaria De Vincenzo, Francesco Brancati

“…Moreover, when analyzed in terms of hydrodynamic dispersive properties as a function of the skin roughness on the basis of a previously derived analytical solution, the dune-covered beds seem to behave like meandering channels, responsible for a globally enhanced fluid particles longitudinal spreading, with a relatively reduced effect in the presence of less pronounced riverbed modelling.…”

Characterization of an Implicitly Resistively-Loaded Monopole Antenna in Lossy Liquid Media by Colleen J. Fox, Paul M. Meaney, Fridon Shubitidze, Lincoln Potwin, Keith D. Paulsen

“…In this paper, we have studied the behavior of these antennas and devised strategies for their effective use at higher frequencies, especially when positioned near the surface of the coupling fluid which is used. The results show that frequencies in excess of 2 GHz can be used when the antenna centers are located as close as 2 cm from the liquid surface.…”

Experimental and Numerical Studies on Wave Breaking Characteristics over a Fringing Reef under Monochromatic Wave Conditions by Jong-In Lee, Sungwon Shin, Young-Taek Kim

“…However, as the wave nonlinearity and steepness increase, the one-layer model showed problems in prediction and stability due to the error on the vertical profile of fluid velocity. The results in this study revealed that one-layer model is not suitable in the highly nonlinear wave condition over a fringing reef bathymetry. …”
