An exact projection method for the numerical solution of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations is devised. In all spatial discretizations, fourth-order compact finite differences are used, including domain boundaries ...

This paper supplements the validation of the fourth-order compact finite volume Boussinesq-type model presented by Cienfuegos et al. (Int. J. Numer. Meth. Fluids 2006, in press). We discuss several issues related to the ...

A new control volume approach is developed based on compact integrated radial basis function (CIRBF) stencils for solution of the highly nonlinear Richards equation describing transient water flow in variably saturated ...

The verification of a Direct Numerical Simulation code is carried out using the Method of Manufactured Solutions. Numerical results from the code are also compared with experimental and Linear Stability Theory results in ...

Mixing layers are present in very different types of physical situations such as atmospheric flows, aerodynamics and combustion. It is, therefore, a well researched subject, but there are aspects that require further ...

We evaluated the influence of bone tissue type on stress distribution in full-arch implant-supported fixed prostheses using a three-dimensional finite element analysis. Stresses in cortical and trabecular bones were also ...

To evaluate the geometrical influence of new types of hollow concrete blocks, six different geometries were investigated using self-consolidating concrete to fabricate the blocks. The cell shapes studied were circular, ...
