MacCormack’s predictor-corrector algorithm is used to solve one-dimensional model equations of drop development from a drop-on-demand ink jet. The calculation is done in Lagrangian coordinates, and the results are compared with calculations reported in which an axisymmetric marker-and-cell algorithm is used. The comparison indicates that, although drop velocities differ in the two cases, good qualitative results can be obtained with the less complex one-dimensional approach.

Abstract. A one-dimensional model is used to investigate the relationship between land subsidence and compaction of basin sediments in response to sediment loading. Analysis of the model equations and numerical experiments demonstrate quasi-linear systems behaviour and show that rates of land subsidence due to compaction: (i) can attain a significant fraction (>40%) of the long-term sedimentation rate; (ii) are hydrodynamically delayed with respect to sediment loading. The delay is controlled by a compaction response time τc that can reach values of 10-5-107 yr for thick shale sequences. Both the behaviour of single sediment layers and multiple-layer systems are analysed. Subsequently the model is applied to the coastal area of the Netherlands to illustrate that lateral variability in compaction-derived land subsidence in sedimentary basins largely reflects the spatial variability in both sediment loading and compaction response time. Typical rates of compaction-derived subsidence predicted by the model are of the order of 0.1 mm/yr but may reach values in excess of 1 mm/yr under favourable conditions.

ABSTRACTA piezoelectric drop on demand printer has been used to print primary human osteoblast and bovine chondrocyte cells. After deposition the cells were incubated at 37°C and characterised using optical microscopy, SEM and cell viability assays. Cells showed a robust response to printing exhibiting signs of proliferation and spreading. Increasing the drop velocity results in a reduced cell survival and proliferation rates but both cell types grew to confluence after printing under all conditions studied.

AbstractA conventional rapid prototyping technology has been used to build prototypes using direct deposition through a drop-on-demand ink-jet printing system. Al2O3 - filled waxes have been developed with viscosity values close to those of the materials used in commercial printing systems. Commercial dispersants based on stearic acid and sterylamine have been studied and stable ceramic suspensions with ceramic volume fractions in the range 20–40 volume% produced with suitable viscosity. A suspension of 20% Al2O3 in an alkane wax has been successfully printed.
