The article touches upon the problem of physical modeling of fishing twisted filamentary materials, in particular, the justification of the rules of similarity of relative longitudinal, bending and torsional stiffness of filamentary parts. The formulation of the problem is associated with the difficulties of conducting full-scale experiments for designing new fishing gear, as well as with the lack of systematic experiments on measuring the stiffness of synthetic cordage. In connection with this, it becomes necessary to conduct model experiments related to physical modeling of dynamic processes occurring with the cordage under load. There has been calculated the coefficient of proportionality of bending stiffness that determines the ability of filamentary parts and cordage to resist bending. There have been given the formulas that determine the combination of the ratio of bending stiffness to longitudinal stiffness and the dimensionless combination of the ratio of bend-ing stiffness to torsional stiffness. The study allows to predict the behavior and basic properties (di-ameter, density, strength, elongation, etc.) of modern synthetic filamentous fishing gear at the stage of their creation (design).

Active Structures

Bending-active structures, made from elastically bent materials such as fiberglass rods, offer exciting opportunities in architecture because of their broad formal palette and ease of construction. While they have been relevant since Frei Otto’s Mannheim Multihalle (1974), recent computational developments that help simulate active-bending processes have renewed interest in them. Such tools are important because they can replace time-consuming and imprecise physical modeling processes. However, physically meaningful simulations, using real materials and full scale, are difficult to create, and there are no good mechanisms to reveal when a simulation is inaccurate. This article offers a conceptual and numerical study of two popular contemporary algorithms for simulations of bending-active structures, mainly through a comparison of their results on the planar elastica. We then offer guidelines on best practice modeling settings and demonstrate possibilities and pitfalls through an architectural-scale case study.

Laboratory physical modeling and laser-based experiments are frequently proposed to tackle theoretical and methodological issues related to seismic prospecting, e.g., when experimental validations of processing or inversion techniques are required. Lasers are mainly used to simulate typical field acquisition setups on homogeneous and consolidated materials assembled into laboratory-scale physical models (PMs) of various earth structures. We suggested the use of granular materials to study seismic-wave propagation in unconsolidated and porous media and target near-surface exploration and hydrogeologic applications. We designed and tested the reproducibility of an experimental procedure to build and probe PMs consisting of micrometric glass beads (GBs). A mechanical source and a laser-Doppler vibrometer were used to record small-scale seismic lines at the surface of three GBs models. When guided surface acoustic mode theory should prevail in such unconsolidated granular packed structure under gravity, we only considered elastic-wave propagation in stratified media to interpret recorded data. Thanks to basic seismic processing and inversion methods (first arrivals and dispersion analyses), we were able to correctly retrieve the gradients of pressure- and shear-wave velocities in our models. A 3D elastic finite difference simulation of the experiment offered, despite significant differences in terms of amplitudes, a supplementary validation of our approximation, as far as elastic properties of the medium were concerned.

The article considers the problems of physical modeling of twisted filamentary parts of fishing gear and the similitude rules of bending stiffness of filamentary gear parts (FP). The problems are caused firstly by the scope, high costs and complexity of engineering structures in commercial fishery, and thus it was impossible to use them in full-scale testing. Secondly, the lack of systematic experiments prevented from measuring the bending stiffness of synthetic rope parts of fishing gear (SRP). Thus, it becomes necessary to conduct model experiments related to physical modeling of dynamic processes occurring in twisted fishing gear, as well as to carry out a detailed study of the theory of similarity. An attempt to evaluate the bending stiffness of a full-scale object made of polyamide (diameter = 10 mm, the object length and pin diameter were found using large-scale physical characteristics) based on the analysis of experimental data on bending stiffness of synthetic filamentous gear parts made of polyamide with different diameter and length (length = 0.08; 0.10; 0.12; 0.16; 0.20, 0.24 m and diameter = 1.10; 2.0; 3.10; 4.0; 5.0, 6.0 mm) defined on the pins with diameter = 2.0, 10.0 and 30.0 mm. The obtained data will help to prove the correctness of using the theory of dynamic similarity in the course of justification of similarity rules of bending stiffness of the large-diameter cordage and to determine the basic physical and mechanical properties necessary for modeling industrial fishing gear.

Abstract Scaled models of steam processes have contributed significantly to the design and implementation of many field projects. These models provide a means of answering pertinent questions, including the effect of (1) injection rate, (2) production pressure, (3) completion interval, (4) pattern size and type, (5) aquifers, (6) heterogeneities, and (7) steam quality. Parameters are presented for scaling up physical-model results to full scale and for relating physical-model results to full scale and for relating one oil field to another. These relationships are generated by casting the governing equations in dimensionless form. A set of similarity parameters then are determined by inspectional analysis. In physical models, unfortunately, it is not possible to physical models, unfortunately, it is not possible to match all similarity parameters. Consequently, based on engineering judgment, a set containing a reduced number of parameters, called scaling parameters, is generated that generally can be matched between scaled model and field prototype. Techniques to implement this scaling are discussed, including a description of the laboratory models, typical materials, and procedures for conducting the experiments. Results of model studies for Mt. Poso and Midway Sunset prototypes are presented. presented. Introduction Physical modeling technology has been developed to Physical modeling technology has been developed to the extent that detailed descriptions of steam processes can be provided for field projects in which processes can be provided for field projects in which the number of wells is large, patterns are irregular, or asymmetry occurs from dip or water influx. In many of these cases, sufficient complexity can be introduced to provide both prediction of overall response and specific guidance for operating policies on a well-by-well basis. The fine detail attainable in physical models arises from the large number of physical models arises from the large number of beads or sand grains, typically in excess of 10 million, that are used in the packed bed. By comparison, present-day numerical steam simulators are limited present-day numerical steam simulators are limited practically to about 1,000 grid blocks. Besides practically to about 1,000 grid blocks. Besides offering this capability of representing additional geometrical and geological complexity, the physical models have the advantage that physical phenomena are not constrained by specified relationships but are free to interact subject only to scaling factors. This additional insight can be important in new processes for which relationships are not known or are difficult to formulate. Limitations of physical models arise because of the unavailability of materials and fluids having physical properties that will satisfy all scaling requirements. properties that will satisfy all scaling requirements. Effects of compromises in scaling often can be observed with simple geometric configurations in mathematical simulators. Conversely, improved mathematical simulation often is possible after determining important parameters experimentally. Consequently, the two serve complementary roles in determining the important mechanisms for a particular process. particular process.Our thermal models do not represent processes in which steam distillation, solution gas, chemical reactions, or compressibility are important. The choice of whether to model physically or to calculate numerically depends on the actual process being studied and the capabilities one has developed in each of these technologies. Scaling rules for steam-injection processes have evolved from those for isothermal and hot-water processes. Isothermal reservoir processes have been processes. Isothermal reservoir processes have been the subject of a number of scaling studies. Scaling for the hot-water drive has been reported in the work of Geertsma et al., Baker, and Dietz; scaling for combustion processes has been given by Binder et al. SPEJ P. 151
