  • An experimental investigation of the stenosis effects on the pressure drop and flow change in the internal flow is presented. Stainless steel tubes of small diameter(3.175mm, 3.4mm) are used for the test section of the flow loop. Percent contraction ranges from 35% to 83% and the stenosis length ratio (L/d) is varied from 2.8 to 8. Water and aqueous glycerol solutions are used for Newtonian fluids and polymer solutions of Separan AP-273 (500 wppm, 1000 wppm) for non-Newtonian fluids. Pressure loss coefficients of non-Newtonian fluids decrease just as those of Newtonian fluids. The loss coefficients of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids increase as the percent contraction increases and the loss coefficients of non-Newtonian fluids are larger than those of Newtonian fluids for the same stenosed tube. The loss coefficient increases as the stenosis length ratio increases.

  • This paper presented an investigation of macromolecular suspension in a grooved channel by using the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) with finitely extensible non-linear elastic (FENE) bead spring chains model. Before studying the movement and evolution of macromolecules, the DPD method was first validated by modeling the simple fluid flow in the grooved channel. For both simple fluid flow and macromolecular suspension, the flow fields were analyzed in detail. It is found that the structure of the grooved channel with sudden contraction and expansion strongly affects the velocity distribution. As the width of the channel reduces, the horizontal velocity increases simultaneously. Vortices can also be found at the top and bottom corners behind the contraction section. For macromolecular suspension, the macromolecular chains influence velocity and density distribution rather than the temperature and pressure. Macromolecules tend to drag simple fluid particles, reducing the velocity with density and velocity fluctuations. Particle trajectories and evolution of macromolecular conformation were investigated. The structure of the grooved channel with sudden contraction and expansion significantly influence the evolution of macromolecular conformation, while macromolecules display adaptivity to adjust their own conformation and angle to suit the structure so as to pass the channel smoothly.

  • Multipath ultrasonic flowmeters are increasingly being used for the purpose of accurate flow measurement. However, an installation standard has not yet been established for these flowmeters, and this can cause considerable confusion during field installation. There is a need for a minimum straight run to ensure the measurement accuracy of a flowmeter installed upstream and downstream of flow disturbance factors-expansion, contraction, and tee pipes. Experiments were performed by using multipath flowmeters that have less than ${\pm}0.5%$ accuracy-4-paths 1-unit and 2-paths 1-unit are of foreign make, whereas 5-paths 2-units are of domestic make-to determine the straight run under the above conditions. We carried out experiments repeatedly by considering a straight run, velocity, and suggested installation standards for a multipath ultrasonic flowmeter that satisfies the tolerance limits.

  • Because most existing non-Newtonian models are not suitable for application to the lattice Boltzmann method, theoretical and numerical studies in this regard remain challenging. In this study, the hydrokinetic (HK) model was modified and applied to a 3D sudden contraction-expansion channel flow, and the characteristics of the HK model flow were evaluated to generate non-trivial predictions in three-dimensional strong shear flows. The HK model is very efficient for application to the lattice Boltzmann method because it utilizes the shear rate and relaxation time. However, the simulation would be unstable in a high shear flow field because the local relaxation time sharply decreases with an increase in the shear rate in a strong shear flow field. In the HK model, it may become necessary to truncate the relaxation time and non-dimensional parameter to obtain stable numerical results.

  • In view of ideas for semigroups, fractional calculus, resolvent operator and Banach contraction principle, this manuscript is generally included with existence and controllability (EaC) results for fractional neutral integro-differential systems (FNIDS) with state-dependent delay (SDD) in Banach spaces. Finally, an examples are also provided to illustrate the theoretical results.

  • In this paper, we establish coupled fixed point theorems for mixed monotone mappings satisfying nonlinear contraction involving a pair of altering distance functions in ordered G-metric spaces. Via presented theorems we extend and generalize the results of Harjani et al. [J. Harjani, B. L$\acute{o}$pez and K. Sadarangani, Fixed point theorems for mixed monotone operators and applications to integral equations, Nonlinear Anal. 74 (2011) 1749-1760] and Choudhury and Maity [B.S. Choudhury and P. Maity, Coupled fixed point results in generalized metric spaces. Math. Comput. Model. 54 (2011), 73-79].

  • In this paper, we consider numerical solution of a H-J-B (Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman) equation of elliptic type arising from the stochastic control problem. For the numerical solution of the equation, we take an approach involving contraction mapping and finite difference approximation. We choose the It(equation omitted) type stochastic differential equation as the dynamic system concerned. The numerical method of solution is validated computationally by using the constructed test case. Map of optimal controls is obtained through the numerical solution process of the equation. We also show how the method applies by taking a simple example of nonlinear spacecraft control.
