Numerical Simulation of Unsteady Compressible Flow in Convergent Channel: Pressure Spectral Analysis by Petra Pořízková, Karel Kozel, Jaromír Horáček

“…The numerical solution is implemented using the finite volume method (FVM) and the predictor-corrector Mac-Cormack scheme with Jameson artificial viscosity using a grid of quadrilateral cells. Due to the motion of the grid, the basic system of conservation laws is considered in the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) form. …”

Poly(delta-gluconolactone) and Poly(delta-gluconolactone-ε-caprolactone) from delta-Gluconolactone and ε-Caprolactone by Ring-Opening Polymerization by Ruijiang Li, Peng Wang, Haohao Ren, Hong Li, Zhengwen Ding, Yonggang Yan

“…Poly(delta-gluconolactone) (PGL) and poly(delta-gluconolactone-ε-caprolactone) (P(GL-CL)) were synthesized through ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and characterized by FT-IR, NMR, XRD, intrinsic viscosity, GPC, DSC, and TGA. The crystallinity of P(GL-CL) with various d-GL/CL ratios (d-GL/CL = 5 : 5, 4 : 6, 3 : 7, 2 : 8, and 1 : 9) was 12.09 to 59.78% while PGL was amorphous. …”
