This paper deals with the reconstruction of buried targets exhibiting both dielectric and magnetic characteristics, starting from GPR data collected at the interface air/soil. The problem is tackled under the Born approximation. In particular, two-dimensional migration and linear inversion results will be compared versus experimental data and three-dimensional representations of the reconstructions achieved from both methods will be shown.

Background: Concerns about the accuracy and reliability of soft tissue landmarks using two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) imaging. Objective: The aim of the systematic review is to estimate accuracy and reliability of soft tissue landmarks with 2D imaging and 3D imaging for orthodontic diagnosis planning and treatment planning purposes. Data Sources: Electronic database search was performed in MEDLINE via PubMed, Embase via embase.com, and the Cochrane library website. Selection Criteria: The data were extracted according to two protocols based on Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (CEBM) critical appraisal tools. Next, levels of evidence were categorized into three groups: low, medium, and high. Data Synthesis: Fifty-five publications were found through database search strategies. A total of nine publications were included in this review. Conclusion According to the available literature, 3D imaging modalities were more accurate and reliable as compared to 2D modalities. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was considered the most reliable imaging tool for soft tissues.

Shaft Failure

After a shaft failure the compression system of a gas turbine is likely to surge due to the heavy vibrations induced on the engine after the breakage. Unlike at any other conditions of operation, compressor surge during a shaft over-speed event is regarded as desirable as it limits the air flow across the engine and hence the power available to accelerate the free turbine. It is for this reason that the proper prediction of the engine performance during a shaft over-speed event claims for an accurate modelling of the compressor operation at reverse flow conditions. The present study investigates the ability of the existent two dimensional algorithms to simulate the compressor performance in backflow conditions. Results for a three stage axial compressor at reverse flow were produced and compared against stage by stage experimental data published by Gamache. The research shows that due to the strong radial fluxes present over the blades, two dimensional approaches are inadequate to provide satisfactory results. Three dimensional effects and inaccuracies are accounted for by the introduction of a correction parameter that is a measure of the pressure loss across the blades. Such parameter is tailored for rotors and stators and enables the satisfactory agreement between calculations and experiments in a stage by stage basis. The paper concludes with the comparison of the numerical results with the experimental data supplied by Day on a four stage axial compressor.

Hele Shaw Cell

We consider the situation of a heavier fluid placed above a lighter one in a vertically arranged Hele-Shaw cell. The two fluids are miscible in all proportions. For this configuration, experiments and nonlinear simulations recently reported by Fernandez et al. (2002) indicate the existence of a low-Rayleigh-number (Ra) ‘Hele-Shaw’ instability mode, along with a high-Ra ‘gap’ mode whose dominant wavelength is on the order of five times the gap width. These findings are in disagreement with linear stability results based on the gap-averaged Hele-Shaw approach, which predict much smaller wavelengths. Similar observations have been made for immiscible flows as well (Maxworthy 1989).In order to resolve the above discrepancy, we perform a linear stability analysis based on the full three-dimensional Stokes equations. A generalized eigenvalue problem is formulated, whose numerical solution yields both the growth rate and the two-dimensional eigenfunctions in the cross-gap plane as functions of the spanwise wavenumber, an ‘interface’ thickness parameter, and Ra. For large Ra, the dispersion relations confirm that the optimally amplified wavelength is about five times the gap width, with the exact value depending on the interface thickness. The corresponding growth rate is in very good agreement with the experimental data as well. The eigenfunctions indicate that the predominant fluid motion occurs within the plane of the Hele-Shaw cell. However, for large Ra purely two-dimensional modes are also amplified, for which there is no motion in the spanwise direction. Scaling laws are provided for the dependence of the maximum growth rate, the corresponding wavenumber, and the cutoff wavenumber on Ra and the interface thickness. Furthermore, the present results are compared both with experimental data, as well as with linear stability results obtained from the Hele-Shaw equations and a modified Brinkman equation.

This paper discusses aerodynamic design methods of volute casings used in turbocharger turbines. A quasi-three-dimensional (Q-3D) design method is proposed in which a group of extended two-dimensional potential flow equations and the streamline equation are numerically solved to obtain the geometry of spiral volutes. A tongue loss model, based on the turbulence wake theory, is also presented, and good agreement with experimental data is shown.

Simulation Results

Two kinds of three-dimensional model are built to simulate the gas entrainment process through a small break in the horizontal coolant pipe at the bottom of the stratified flow. The results were compared with the two-dimensional simulation results and the experimental data. In terms of the two-phase distribution, the simulation results agree well with the experimental data and show much superiority compared with the two-dimensional model. The results verify the reliability of model building, condition setting and calculating method qualitatively and quantitatively. In general, after gas entrainment, the average velocity over cross section increases obviously, but the mass flow rate decreases contrarily. This is because that void fraction meanwhile reduces the fluid density. In addition, it is found that the larger the void fraction of vapor is, the higher the average discharge velocity of the fracture cross-section fluid is. Besides, with the larger internal and external pressure difference, the gas volume fraction and the flow velocity in the break increase, resulting in the mass flow rate increasing along with them. However, since the critical height increases as well, the total loss amount of liquid in the stable effluent stage decreases, and the time before entrainment becomes shorter.

The spatial problem of internal explosive loading of an elastoplastic cylindrical container filled with water in Eulerian - Lagrangian variables using multigrid algorithms is considered. A defining system of three-dimensional equations of the dynamics of gas, fluid, and elastoplastic medium is presented. For numerical modeling, a modification of S.K. Godunov scheme of the increased accuracy for both detonation products and liquids, and elastoplastic container is used. At the moving contact boundaries “detonation products - liquid”, “liquid - deformable body”, the exact solution of the Riemann's problem is used. A time dependent model is used to describe the propagation of steady-state detonation wave through an explosive from an initiation region. In both cases, the initiation of detonation occurs at the center of the charge. Two problems have been solved: the first task for the aisymmetric position of the charge, the second for the charge shifted relative to the axis of symmetry. In the first task, the processes are two-dimensional axisymmetric in nature, in the second task, the processes are essentially three-dimensional. A comparison is made of the results of calculations of the first problem using a three-dimensional method with a solution using a previously developed two-dimensional axisymmetric method and experimental data. Good agreement is observed between the numerical results for the maximum velocities and circumferential strains obtained by various methods and experimental data. There is good agreement between the numerical results obtained by various methods and the known experimental data. Comparison of the results of solving the first and second problems shows a significant effect of the position of the charge on the wave processes in the liquid, the processes of loading the container and its elastoplastic deformation. The dynamic behavior of a gas bubble with detonation products is analyzed. A significant deviation of the bubble shape from the spherical one, caused by the action of shock waves reflected from the structure, is shown. Comparison of the results of solving the first and second problems showed a significant effect of the charge position on wave processes in a liquid, the processes of loading a container and its elastoplastic deformation. In particular, in the second problem, shock waves of higher amplitude are observed in the liquid when reflected from the walls of the container.

Satisfactory Prediction

The coupling between the bleed system and the flowfield of a downstream compressor stage is studied using two approaches. In the first, three-dimensional, full annulus, unsteady computations simulate the flow in a low speed research compressor with non-uniform bleed extraction. Comparisons with experimental data show that the flow prediction in the main annulus is accurate to within 0.005 of flow coefficient and 0.5° of flow angle. The CFD is then used to provide a description of flow within the bleed system itself. In the second approach, a two-dimensional mean radius model, similar to that adopted by Hynes and Greitzer in previous work on compressor stability, is used to simulate the response of the compressor to non-uniform bleed. This model is validated against experimental data for a single stage compressor and despite the inherent assumptions (two dimensional flow and simplified compressor response) provides a satisfactory prediction of the flow for preliminary design purposes with orders of magnitude less computational cost than full 3D CFD. The model is then used to investigate the effect of different levels of bleed non-uniformity and of varying the axial distance between the bleed and the downstream stage. Reducing bleed non-uniformity and moving the stage away from the bleed slot are predicted to reduce the circumferential non-uniformity of the flow entering the stage.

The Right

In the present work, the CFD software FLUENT is used to calculate the ship resistance and simulate the flow field around it. Comparison of the numerical results with experimental data of the ship without interceptor shows basically satisfactory agreement in the case of high-speed. In order to get the right parameters of the interceptor for the ship, some two dimensional calculation is taken to study the influence of interceptor with different size. The simulation of the three dimensional vessel with interceptor is also included, and the effect is discussed.
