This paper investigates the fluid generation mechanism in a modified Continuous Inkjet Print (CIJ) method. The CIJ technique is utilized to deposit a variety of conductive nano particulate materials for building miniaturized devices that can sustain harsh environments. These include devices and structures that can sustain high temperature and humidity applications. Given the complex drop formation mechanism a CFD model is developed that is further validated using an ultrahigh speed photography experimental setup. Various input parameters such as frequency, voltage and fluid pressure can be tuned using the model for different fluid types to obtain an optimal drop formation. These findings can be useful for the fabrication of freeform miniaturized devices in 3 dimensional space.

Results from an advanced 3-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model have proven to form an effective basis on which to design stable and scour resistant subsea structures in areas of seabed which are prone to scouring. A case study application from the UK sector of the southern North Sea is presented to demonstrate the benefits of the CFD analysis.

Abstract We show that any triharmonic Riemannian submersion from a 3-dimensional space form into a surface is harmonic. This is an affirmative partial answer to the submersion version of the generalized Chen conjecture. Moreover, a non-existence theorem for f -biharmonic Riemannian submersions is also presented.

There have been conflicting findings on the degree to which exogenous/reflexive visual attention is selective for depth, and this issue has important implications for attention models. Previous findings have attempted to find depth-based cueing effects on such attention using reaction time measures for stimuli presented in stereo goggles with a display screen. Results stemming from such approaches have been mixed, depending on whether target/distractor discrimination was required. To help clarify the existence of such depth effects, we have developed a paradigm that measures accuracy rather than reaction time in an immersive virtual-reality environment, providing a more appropriate context of depth. Four modified Posner Cueing paradigms were run to test for depth-specific attentional selectivity. Participants fixated a cross while attempting to identify a rapidly masked letter that was preceded by a cue that could be valid in depth and side, depth only, or side only. In Experiment 1, a potent cueing effect was found for side validity and a weak effect was found for depth. Experiment 2 controlled for differences in cue and target sizes when presented at different depths, which caused the depth validity effect to disappear entirely even though participants were explicitly asked to report depth and the difference in virtual depth was extreme (20 vs 300 meters). Experiments 3a and 3b brought the front depth plane even closer (1 m) to maximize effects of binocular disparity, but no reliable depth cueing validity was observed. Thus, it seems that rapid/exogenous attention pancakes 3-dimensional space into a 2-dimensional reference frame.

Many real complex phenomena are related with Weierstrass-Mandelbrot function (WMF). Most researches focus on the systems as parameters fixed, such as calculations of its different fractal dimensions or the statistical characteristics of its generalized form and so on. Moreover, real systems always change according to different environments, so that to study the dynamical behavior of these systems as parameters change is important. However, there is few results about this aim. In this paper, we propose simulated results for the effects of parameters changeably on the graph of WMF in higher dimensional space. In addition, the relationships between the Hurst exponent of WMF and its parameters dynamically in 2-and 3-dimensional spaces are also given.
