We present and analyze a penalization method which extends the the method of [Ph. Angot, C.-H. Bruneau, and P. Fabrie, Numer. Math., 81 (1999), pp. 487-520] to the case of a rigid body moving freely ...

This paper considers the steady two-dimensional radial flow of viscous fluid between plane walls which either converge or diverge. A general solution is obtained in terms of elliptic functions and the ...

The international collaborative team of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT) in Japan and Indian Institute of Technology Ropar (IIT Ropar) in India has explored, for the first time, ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A blood vessel is an elastic tube, and its changing shape affects the properties of the fluid flowing inside it. Conversely, the fluid flow itself also affects the shape of the ...

When light hits the surface of some materials, namely those exhibiting a property known as photoresistance, it can induce changes in their electrical conductivity. Graphene is among these materials, ...

This question is often best answered by example. Imagine a styrofoam cup with a hole in the bottom. If I then pour honey into the cup I will find that the cup drains very slowly. That is because honey ...
