Rheology Of Dense Bubble Suspensions, Ashok S. Sangani, Sang-Yoon Kang, Heng-Kwong Tsao, Donald L. Koch Jan 1997

Rheology Of Dense Bubble Suspensions, Ashok S. Sangani, Sang-Yoon Kang, Heng-Kwong Tsao, Donald L. Koch

Biomedical and Chemical Engineering - All Scholarship

The rheological behavior of rapidly sheared bubble suspensions is examined through numerical simulations and kinetic theory. The limiting case of spherical bubbles at large Reynolds number Re and small Weber number We is examined in detail. Here, Re = p y a^2 / u and We = p y^2 a^3 / s, a being the bubble radius, g the imposed shear, s the interfacial tension, and m and r , respectively, the viscosity and density of the liquid. The bubbles are assumed to undergo elastic bounces when they come into contact; coalescence can be prevented in practice by addition of …


Nusselt Number For Flow Perpendicular To Arrays Of Cylinders In The Limit Of Small Reynolds And Large Peclet Numbers, Ashok S. Sangani, Wei Wang Jan 1997

Nusselt Number For Flow Perpendicular To Arrays Of Cylinders In The Limit Of Small Reynolds And Large Peclet Numbers, Ashok S. Sangani, Wei Wang

Biomedical and Chemical Engineering - All Scholarship

The problem of determining the Nusselt number N, the nondimensional rate of heat or mass transfer, from an array of cylindrical particles to the surrounding fluid is examined in the limit of small Reynolds number Re and large Peclet number Pe. N in this limit can be determined from the details of flow in the immediate vicinity of the particles. These are determined accurately using a method of multipole expansions for both ordered and random arrays of cylinders. The results for N/Pe^1/3 are presented for the complete range of the area fraction of cylinders. The results of numerical simulations for …

Current advances in high-speed networks and WWW technologies have made network computing a cost-effective, high-performance computing alternative. New software tools are being developed to utilize efficiently the network computing environment. Our project, called Virtual Distributed Computing Environment (VDCE), is a high-performance computing environment that allows users to write and evaluate networked applications for different hardware and software configurations using a web interface. In this paper we present the software architecture of VDCE by emphasizing application development and specification, scheduling, and execution/runtime aspects.


An Information Security Education Initiative For Engineering And Computer Science, Shiu-Kai Chin, Cynthia E. Irvine, Deborah Frincke Jan 1997

An Information Security Education Initiative For Engineering And Computer Science, Shiu-Kai Chin, Cynthia E. Irvine, Deborah Frincke

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - All Scholarship

This paper puts forward a case for an educational initiative in information security at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Its focus is on the need for such education, the desired educational outcomes, and how the outcomes may be assessed. A basic thesis of this paper is that the goals, methods, and evaluation techniques of information and computer security are consistent with and supportive of the stated goals of engineering education and the growing movement for outcomes-based assessment in higher education.
