Listing’S Law

Tweed, Douglas. Three-dimensional model of the human eye-head saccadic system. J. Neurophysiol. 77: 654–666, 1997. Current theories of eye-head gaze shifts deal only with one-dimensional motion, and do not touch on three-dimensional (3-D) issues such as curvature and Donders' laws. I show that recent 3-D data can be explained by a model based on ideas that are well established from one-dimensional studies, with just one new assumption: that the eye is driven toward a 3-D orientation in space that has been chosen so that Listing's law of the eye in head will hold when the eye-head movement is complete. As in previous, one-dimensional models, the eye and head are feedback-guided and the commands specifying desired eye position eye pass through a neural “saturation” so as to stay within the effective oculomotor range. The model correctly predicts the complex, 3-D trajectories of the head, eye in space, and eye in head in a variety of saccade tasks. And when it moves repeatedly to the same target, varying the contributions of eye and head, the model lands in different eye-in-space positions, but these positions differ only in their cyclotorsion about the line of sight, so they all point that line at the target—a behavior also seen in real eye-head saccades. Between movements the model obeys Listing's law of the eye in head and Donders' law of the head on torso, but during certain gaze shifts involving large torsional head movements, it shows marked, 8° deviations from Listing's law. These deviations are the most important untested predictions of the theory. Their experimental refutation would sink the model, whereas confirmation would strongly support its central claim that the eye moves toward a 3-D position in space chosen to obey Listing's law and, therefore, that a Listing operator exists upstream from the eye pulse generator.

Conjugate Calculation

In this paper a three-dimensional conjugate calculation has been performed for a passenger car turbo charger. The scope of this work is to investigate the heat fluxes in the radial compressor which can be strongly influenced by the hot turbine. As a result of this, the compressor efficiency may deteriorate. Consequently, the heat fluxes have to be taken into account for the determination of the efficiency. To overcome this problem a complex three-dimensional model has been developed. It contains the compressor, the oil cooled center housing, and the turbine. 12 operating points have been numerically simulated composed of three different turbine inlet temperatures and four different mass flows. The boundary conditions for the flow and for the outer casing were derived from experimental test data (part II of the paper). Resulting from these conjugate calculations various one-dimensional calculation specifications have been developed. They describe the heat transfer phenomena inside the compressor with the help of a Nusselt number which is a function of an artificial Reynolds number and the turbine inlet temperature.

Detailed numerical analysis is presented for three-dimensional natural convection heat transfer in annulus with an internal concentric slotted cylinder. The internal slotted cylinder and the outer annulus are maintained at uniform but different temperatures. Governing equations are discretized using control volume technique based on staggered grid formulation and solved using SIMPLE algorithm with QUICK scheme. Flow and heat transfer characteristics are investigated for a Rayleigh number range of 10 to 106 while Prandtl number (Pr) is taken to be 0.7. The results indicate, at Rayleigh numbers below 105, the system shows two dimensional flow and heat transfer characteristics. On the other hand, the flow and heat transfer shows three dimensional characteristics while for Rayleigh numbers greater than 5×105. Comparison with experimental results indicated that the numerical solutions by three dimensional model can obtain more accuracy than the numerical solutions by two dimensional model. Besides, Numerical results show that the average equivalent conductivity coefficient of natural convection heat transfer of this problem can be enhanced by as much as 30% while relative slot width is more than 0.1.

By the three-dimensional model of heat transfer in the system "ground - horizontal ground heat exchanger - heat transfer agent", an analysis of the efficiency of the horizontal multi-loop heat exchanger, which is an element of the heat pump system, was carried out. Based on the results of numerical simulation, the time dependence of the heat transfer agent temperature at the outlet from the ground heat exchanger and the amount of heat extracted from the ground is determined. The results of calculations by the presented model are satisfactorily agree with the experimental data.

Objectives: In the current research three techniques have been operated to enhance the rate of heat transfer in a heat sink. The amalgamation of Impingement of jet, airfoil pillars and Nano fluids are used. Nano fluids has a lot of potential to enhance the heat transportation in contrast to the water. The investigation has been executed with the help of three dimensional numerical model using Computational fluid Dynamics. At the onset the model has been validated with the inspection carried out already in experimental form. The observations in the form of thermal attributes are investigated. From the results the conclusion is made that the use of airfoil pillars and Nano fluids has increased the thermal characteristics of the three dimensional model in the form of heat exchange coefficient by almost 28.2%. The Nano fluid has been utilized for the 0.5% concentration.

Side Walls

A numerical model for the interaction between natural convection in a slot and conduction in the side walls that are parallel to the plane of the slot is described. Two-dimensional equations containing source terms which account for the viscous and thermal coupling between the fluid and the walls are solved by a finite difference method. The model neglects radiation effects. Solutions for a slot of square cross section filled with a high Prandtl number fluid and heated from below are compared with the results of a Galerkin analysis made by Frick [8] and with solutions obtained by a fully three-dimensional model. Solutions for a slot filled with air and heated from the side are also validated by comparison with three-dimensional solutions. The data produced by the model predict that the more conventional Hele Shaw analysis overestimates heat transfer when the slot aspect ratio is greater than 0.05. Perfectly conducting walls are shown to reduce the rate of heat transfer by the fluid but to increase the strength of the flow. Some effects of walls that are neither adiabatic nor perfectly conducting are assessed.

Poiseuille Number

A three-dimensional model was developed to simulate the laminar flow and convective heat transfer in rectangular silicon microchannels，which have hydraulic diameter of 95.3，92.3 ,85.8 , 80 and 75μm respectively．The rationality of the simulation methods and results were validated by comparing with experimental data. The simulation results indicate that the aspect ratio has a significant impact on the Poiseuille number. Conventional fluid flow theory is fit for researching the fluid flow in microchannels, Po is a constant that is not dependent on the Reynolds number.
