St Lawrence River

A one-dimensional numerical model of a 340 mile section of the St. Lawrence River has been formulated to study tidal propagation. For a more detailed study of the flow distribution in a localised section of the river a two-dimensional model was used. A half mile square grid was used to schematise an area of approximately 20 miles long by 15 miles wide. This two-dimensional model was embodied within the one-dimensional model to permit a free interaction of flow across the boundaries. For the one-dimensional case, a comparison of model and prototype results is included for both elevation and velocity. For the two-dimensional model a comparison of flow distribution was made by using field results obtained from photographing ice movement and from drogue movement. To interpret the results of the two-dimensional model into a simple method of flow visualisation, use was made of animation techniques. A movie film was made that demonstrates both tidal rise and fall and the associated horizontal velocities. Elevation was reproduced by use of varying shades of coloured paper to simulate contours, velocities were represented by simulating drogue movement to produce smoke streaks.

A theoretical analysis of the fluid mechanics of the air cushion of the air reversers used in web-handling systems is presented. A two-dimensional model of the air flow is derived by averaging the equations of conservation of mass and momentum over the clearance between the web and the reverser. The resulting equations are Euler’s equations with nonlinear source terms representing the air supply holes in the surface of the reverser. The equations are solved analytically for the one-dimensional case and numerically for the two-dimensional case. Results are compared with an empirical formula and the one-dimensional airjet theory developed for hovercraft. Conditions that maximize the air pressure supporting the web are analyzed and design guidelines are deduced.

Experimental investigations of automobile exhaust emissions were examined by combusting a mixture of propane and air within a multi-channel monolith. Chemical kinetics, mass transfer and heat transfer effects were studied using appropriate temperature and flow conditions to separate the effects. The results were used to construct both a one- and two-dimensional mathematical model. Simulations of monolith behaviour were then compared with observed performance. First-order chemical kinetics were observed for the low hydrocarbon concentrations examined in the temperature range 557–648 K, while mass transfer limitation was apparent at temperatures between 736 K and 769 K. Perturbations to inlet concentration and temperature were effected while studying monolith performance, and the responses recorded. Computer simulations using the two mathematical models predicted correct trends, but did not agree quantitatively with the experimental results. The one-dimensional model predicts both concentration and temperature responses to a change in inlet conditions better than the more comprehensive two-dimensional model, even when heat losses are taken into account. This is because experimentally determined heat and mass transfer coefficients are used for computations relating to the one-dimensional model, whereas these parameters were calculated theoretically in the two-dimensional model. Further computer simulations revealed discontinuities in the values of Nusselt numbers, values depending on elapsed time following a step change in inlet conditions and axial position along the monolith channel. This unusual feature is accounted for by a reversal in heat transfer between wall and bulk fluid as the reaction develops along the monolith channel.

        One and two-dimensional hydraulic models simulations are important to specify the hydraulic characteristics of unsteady flow in Al-Gharraf River in order to define the locations that facing problems and suggesting the necessary treatments. The reach in the present study is 58200m long and lies between Kut and Hai Cities. Both numerical models were simulated using HEC-RAS software, 5.0.4, with flow rates ranging from 100 to 350 m3/s. Multi-scenarios of gates openings of Hai Regulator were applied. While the openings of Al-Gharraf Head Regulator were ranged between 60cm to fully opened. The suitable manning roughness for the unsteady state was 0.025. The obtained results show that the average velocities for the one-dimensional model were ranged between 0.36 and 0.5 m/s,  and the average water surface elevations range between 15.14 m and 17.84 m. While these values ranged between 0.25 and 0.44 m/s and 14.125 and 18.82 m respectively for the two-dimensional model. The simulation results of the two-dimensional model were more accurate than their corresponding one-dimensional model, due to more agreement of these values with measured values, which achieved minimum values of the root mean square error and the determination coefficient.

Quantum entanglement is studied in the neighborhood of a topological transition in some topological insulator models such as the two-dimensional Qi–Wu–Zhang model or Chern insulator. The system describes electrons hopping in two-dimensional chains. For the one-dimensional model case, there exist staggered hopping amplitudes. Our results show a strong effect of sudden variation of the topological charge Q in the neighborhood of phase transition on quantum entanglement for all the cases analyzed.

Summary A model of wood drying under isothermal conditions taking into consideration coating of the surface of a specimen is presented in this paper in a two-dimensional formulation. The influence of the surface coating degree as well as geometrical shape of a wood specimen on the dynamics of drying is investigated. Exponentials, describing the dependence of the halfdrying time on the degree of coating of the edges, as well as on the ratio of the width to the thickness of the transverse section of specimens from the northern red oak (Quercus rubra), are presented for drying from above the fiber saturation point. This paper describes the conditions of usage of the two-dimensional moisture transfer model in contrast to the one-dimensional model for accurate prediction of the drying process taking into consideration the coating of edges of specimens having a rectangular transverse section. A measure of reliability of the one-dimensional model to predict the wood drying process of sawn boards is introduced in this paper.

Abstract We introduce a method for analyzing phylogenies of genes sampled from a geographically structured population. A parsimony method can be used to compute s, the minimum number of migration events between pairs of populations sampled, and the value of s can be used to estimate the effective migration rate M, the value of Nm in an island model with local populations of size N and a migration rate m that would yield the same value of s. Extensive simulations show that there is a simple relationship between M and the geographic distance between pairs of samples in one- and two-dimensional models of isolation by distance. Both stepping-stone and lattice models were simulated. If two demes k steps apart are sampled, then, s, the average value of s, is a function only of k/(Nm) in a one-dimensional model and is a function only of k/(Nm)2 in a two-dimensional model. Furthermore, log(M) is approximately a linear function of log(k). In a one-dimensional model, the regression coefficient is approximately -1 and in a two-dimensional model the regression coefficient is approximately -0.5. Using data from several locations, the regression of log(M) on log(distance) may indicate whether there is isolation by distance in a population at equilibrium and may allow an estimate of the effective migration rate between adjacent sampling locations. Alternative methods for analyzing DNA sequence data from a geographically structured population are discussed. An application of our method to the data of R. L. Cann, M. Stoneking and A. C. Wilson on human mitochondrial DNA is presented.

For predicting of diffusive phase transformations during the austenitizing process in hypoeutectoid Fe-C steels, a two-dimensional model has been developed. The diffusion equations are solved within each phase (α and γ) using an explicit finite volume technique formulated using a square grid. The discrete α/γ interface is represented by special volume elements α/γ. The result showing the dissolution of ferrite particles in the austenite matrix are presented at different stages of the phase transformation. Specifically, the influence of the microstructure scale and heating rate on the transformation kinetics has been investigated. Final austenitization temperature calculated with this 2D model is compared with predictions of a simpler one dimensional (1D) front-tracking calculation.

A one-dimensional model of nonmonocentric urban land use is extended into a two-dimensional space. Under the assumption of circular symmetry, it is shown that the equilibrium urban configurations in the two-dimensional space are essentially the same as those in the one-dimensional space except for the conditions on the parameters.
