Mathematical modeling of the tundish draining process was undertaken in response to the pouring of slag into the caster mold during draining of the dual-strand caster tundish at one of United States Steel Corporation’s plants before a tundish change. It was observed upon dumping of the tundish that the tundish skull was mostly slag on one side (the strand with the slag in the mold) and nearly all steel on the other. The current study attempted to reproduce the tundish draining event via mathematical modeling using the PHOENICS computational fluid dynamics software. The tundish draining was modeled for the case where the throughput of one strand was double that of the other strand. Transient flow modeling of the draining process included solving for the pressure and velocities for the two-phase slag-steel flows for two cases, one with a 6-inch thick slag layer and one with a 2-inch slag layer. The results showed that the draining process was affected significantly by the thickness of the initial slag layer. The simulations also qualitatively predicted the tendency of the slag to accumulate on the side with the higher throughput during tundish draining for a dual-strand tundish containing dams on both sides of the pouring area in the center.

A 3D two-phase flow computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model containing gas mal-distribution is developed in the Eulerian framework to predict the hydraulics of a dividing wall sieve tray. Variable and position dependent gas superficial velocity is used in the calculation. Using water-air system, simulations of flow patterns and hydraulics of a commercial- scale 1.2m diameter sieve tray are carried out using this model to testify its precision. Then, the same simulations of a dividing wall sieve tray with equal diameter are carried out. The results show that there are two backflow regions on a dividing wall tray, one is in the segmental area, and the other is in the region nearby junction of dividing wall and outlet weir. In the segmental area of trays with equal diameter, the area of backflow region of dividing wall trays is basically equal to that of conventional trays.

This paper discusses the two phase (gas/Particles) flow effect of interior ballistic performance in a 76 mm naval medium caliber gun with guided projectile, using granular seven-perforated propellant. The theoretical and numerical simulation of the two phase flow in the interior ballistic cycle is carried out by using MacCromack technique depending on the governing equations of the two phase flow. This simulation is considered to be helpful for the prediction of the interior ballistic parameters which are required for endurance of guided projectile. A good agreement between the simulation results compared to the experimental results is fulfilled. Keywords: Guided projectile, two phase flow modeling, Interior ballistic, Computational fluid dynamics.

The number of English Language Learners (ELL) is increasing in all regions of the United States. Although the majority (71%) speak Spanish as their first language, the other 29% may speak one of as many as 100 or more different languages. In spite of an increasing number of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who can provide bilingual services, the likelihood of a match between a given student's primary language and an SLP's is rather minimal. The second best option is to work with a trained language interpreter in the student's language. However, very frequently, this interpreter may be bilingual but not trained to do the job.

The armed violence of many radical Islamic movements is one of the most important means to achieve the goals and objectives of these movements. These movements have legitimized and legitimized these violent practices and constructed justification ideologies in order to justify their use for them both at home against governments or against the other Religiously, intellectually and even culturally, or abroad against countries that call them the term "unbelievers", especially the United States of America.
