Numerical Simulation of Density Current Evolution in a Diverging Channel by Mitra Javan, Afshin Eghbalzadeh, Masoud Montazeri Namin

“…This study seeks to explore the ability of 2D width-averaged unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulation approach for resolving density currents in an inclined diverging channel. 2D width-averaged unsteady RANS equations closed by a buoyancy-modified 𝑘−𝜀 turbulence model are integrated in time with a second-order fractional step approach coupled with a direct implicit method and discretized in space on a staggered mesh using a second-order accurate finite volume approach incorporating a high-resolution semi-Lagrangian technique for the convective terms. …”

UNREGISTERED CROSS-BORDER USE OF SERVICES ON THE POLISH SECTION OF THE EXTERNAL BORDER OF THE EU AND THE LOCATION OF THE SERVICE SECTOR IN THE POLISH TRADE TURNOVER WITH ITS EASTER... by Halina Powęska

“…The article aims to investigate the share of services in Poland's trade turnover with the neighbouring countries at the external border of the European Union, taking into consideration the registered and unregistered turnover, as well to identify the share of the unregistered sector in the total volume of services turnover. The statistical analysis conducted on the data shows that in the years 2010-2012 the registered exports of services from Poland to Russia, Ukraine and Belarus were several times higher than the imports of services from these countries. …”

Determination of residual strain in steel wire cord by chemical method by N. A. Zmeeva

“…The cause of residual strain is uneven plastic deformation of a solid body due to various changes in different places of its length and volume. Residual strain of steel wire cord are made up of stresses existing in the wire after drawing, and the stresses created during the lay of wire.An important task in the framework of the metal wire cord manufacturing technology, which is faced by specialists at «BMW» – the Management Company of the Holding «BMC» is to reduce residual strains at all stages of metal wire cord manufacturing. …”
