Development Of High Fidelity Soot Aerosol Dynamics Models Using Method Of Moments With Interpolative Closure, Somesh Roy, P. G. Arias, Vivien R. Lecoustre, Daniel C. Haworth, H. G. Im, Arnaud Trouvé Jan 2014

Development Of High Fidelity Soot Aerosol Dynamics Models Using Method Of Moments With Interpolative Closure, Somesh Roy, P. G. Arias, Vivien R. Lecoustre, Daniel C. Haworth, H. G. Im, Arnaud Trouvé

Mechanical Engineering Faculty Research and Publications

The method of moments with interpolative closure (MOMIC) for soot formation and growth provides a detailed modeling framework maintaining a good balance in generality, accuracy, robustness, and computational efficiency. This study presents several computational issues in the development and implementation of the MOMIC-based soot modeling for direct numerical simulations (DNS). The issues of concern include a wide dynamic range of numbers, choice of normalization, high effective Schmidt number of soot particles, and realizability of the soot particle size distribution function (PSDF). These problems are not unique to DNS, but they are often exacerbated by the high-order numerical schemes used in …


Evaluation Of Forearm Muscle Fatigue From Operating A Motorcycle Clutch, Megan O. Conrad, Richard W. Marklin Jan 2014

Evaluation Of Forearm Muscle Fatigue From Operating A Motorcycle Clutch, Megan O. Conrad, Richard W. Marklin

Mechanical Engineering Faculty Research and Publications

A laboratory experiment evaluated the effect of motorcycle clutch design on the electromyography (EMG) activity of the primary agonist finger flexor muscle in the forearm. The goal was to compare muscle fatigue resulting from operation of two different motorcycle clutches in simulated traffic. EMG activity from the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) muscle of 12 female and 11 males were recorded while each participant operated an existing motorcycle clutch (requiring 98 N peak force) as well as an alternate design (requiring 36 N peak force) during 60-minute simulations. Muscle fatigue was quantified by measuring the decrease in median frequency of the …
