The steady, one-dimensional flow of an incompressible fluid through a deformable porous material is studied theoretically and experimentally. The theoretical model is essentially that of Biot. Assuming that the stiffness and permeability of the matrix are functions of the local strain gradient, the governing equations can be solved and analytical solutions are presented for several simple constitutive relationships. The stiffness and permeability properties of one particular foam are measured and then used to predict the rate of fluid flow and the distortion of the matrix as a function of the applied pressure difference across the material. Comparison of the predictions of the model with experimental observations indicates good qualitative agreement.

Droplet formation from a passive vibrating nozzle driven by a pulsed pressure wave is numerical simulated. The nozzle is an orifice in a thin walled plate which is allowed to vibrate due to the pressure loading on the plate. The analysis couples the fluid flow from the nozzle and the resultant droplet formation with the nozzle vibration calculated using large deflection theory. A one-dimensional fluid flow model is used where droplet formation is driven by a short step change in applied pressure. The problem is made nondimensional based on the capillary parameters of time, velocity and pressure. The nozzle material properties are varied to alter the vibration characteristics of the orifice plate used to form the nozzle. It is determined that the vibration of the nozzle only weakly affects the droplet break-off time and size, but greatly affects the droplet velocity. The resultant filament after drop break-off is also significantly affected by the nozzle vibration, resulting in variations in satellite droplet formation. Higher vibration amplitudes, which correspond to more flexible plates, result in larger total satellite volume.

A model is presented to describe the one-dimensional flow of an incompressible fluid through a deformable porous material. The model is based on the Forchheimer extension of the Darcy law for flows through incompressible media, where the Forchheimer coefficients are functions of the local stress. Experiments to determine the stress-dependence of the coefficients for polyurethane foam specimens are described. The coefficients are then used in the model to predict the mass flow rate through long polyurethane specimens as a function of the applied pressure difference across the material. The predictions of the model are compared with experimental observations.

The flow of fluid from a point source into a layer of deformable porous material is considered. The main applications of this work are to subcutaneous injections and subterranean soil flows. The porous material is assumed to be an isotropic, homogeneous, linearly elastic solid. The governing equations are derived for an axisymmetric geometry using linear poro-elasticity and are applied to the situation of a point source at some height z = z0 with a line sink at a distance r = ρ. These are solved analytically using Hankel transform techniques with the Hankel inversion integrals calculated numerically. Results are given for the pressure contours and the displacement of the solid matrix for a variety of source heights and elastic parameters. These indicate the swelling of the medium and subsequent deformation of the free surface. Results indicate regions where one dimensional models may be applicable.

Experimental work on prismatic concrete specimens was conducted to determine the relationship between mechanical restraint and the rate of corrosion. The current together with the changes in strain of the confining frame were monitored during the accelerated corrosion tests. The effect of mix design and cracking on the corrosion rates was also investigated. The results show that one-dimensional mechanical restraint retards the corrosion process, as indicated by the reduction in the steel loss. Improved quality of the matrix, with and without cracking, reduces the rate of steel loss. In the inferior quality concrete, the effect of cracking on the corrosion rate is minimal.Key words: corrosion, concrete, repair.

The influence of utilizing different nanofluids types on the liquid cold plate (LCP) is numerically investigated. The thermal and fluid flow performance of LCP is examined by using pure ethylene glycol (EG), Al2O3-EG and CuO-EG. The volume fraction of the nanoparticle for both nanofluid is 2%. The finite volume method (FVM) has been used to solved 3-D steady state, laminar flow and heat transfer governing equations. The presented results indicate that Al2O3-EG able to provide the lowest surface temperature of the heater block followed by CuO-EG and EG, respectively. It is also found that the pressure drop and friction factor are higher for Al2O3-EG and CuO-EG compared to the pure EG.

This paper discusses the use of heat for producing clinical lesions in tissue and presents the design and analysis of a resistively heated surgical probe. The probe surface temperature is accurately maintained and controlled by using a Wheatstone bridge. The probe was embedded in a clear agar–water test medium, and the temperature field generated by the probe was measured with liquid crystals, a material that provides a visual display of certain isotherms. Experimental results compare within approximately 10 percent of a two-dimensional numerical solution. A one-dimensional theoretical model is also developed which examines the influence of blood flow on the temperature field.
