Viscous holographic f(Q) cosmology with some versions of holographic dark energy with generalized cut-offs

The work reported in this paper demonstrates the cosmology of f(Q) gravity and the reconstruction of various associated parameters with different versions of holographic dark energy with generalized cut-offs, where Q = 6 H 2. The Universe is considered to be filled with viscous fluid characterized by a viscous pressure Π = – 3 H ξ, where ξ = ξ 0 + ξ 1 H + ξ 2 ( H ˙ + H 2 ) and H is the Hubble parameter. Considering the power law form of expansion, we have derived the expression of f(Q) under a non-viscous holographic framework and it is then extended to viscous cosmological settings with extended generalized holographic Ricci dark energy. The forms of f(Q) for both the cases are found to be monotonically increasing functions of Q. In the viscous holographic framework, f(Q) is reconstructed as a function of cosmic time t and is found to stay at a positive level with Nojiri-Odintsov cut-off. In these cosmological settings, the slow roll parameters are computed and a scope of exit from inflation and quasi-exponential expansion are found to be available. Finally, it is observed that warm inflationary expansion can be obtained from this model.

STUDY OF FROUDE AND HUGHES METHODS BY NUMERICAL TOWING TANK

The resistance of a cargo ship is calculated by numerical towing tank. RANSE multi-phase parallel solver with K-Z SSTturbulent model and VOF formulation is applied. Computational results from double model (without free surface) areused to obtain 1+k in Hughes’ method and those with free surface are analyzed by both Froude and Hughes’ approachesto investigate model and full scale correlation. ITTC recommended uncertainty study is carried out to evaluate numericalerror due to grid density. The computed wave elevation, wake distribution and resistance components by fine, mediumand coarse meshes are cross-compared and validated against experiment data where applicable. It is found that gridresolution has most effect on wave pattern. The predicted friction and viscous-pressure resistance coefficients arerelatively grid independent from present numerical simulation.

Non-Fickian diffusion in viscous aerosol particles

Slow condensed phase diffusion in organic aerosol particles can impede many chemical and physical processes associated with atmospheric aerosol (e.g. gas-particle equilibrium partitioning). The characteristic times associated with these high viscosity particles are typically modelled using a concentration-dependent diffusivity within a purely Fickian framework. In that model, the medium in which diffusion is taking place is treated as being inviscid as far as mass transport is concerned. In this report, we investigate the validity of assuming that the viscosity is equal to zero by using a transport model that includes viscous pressure gradients. It is found that the effect of viscosity is negligible for particles with radii that are larger than 100 nm but, below that radius, it can delay water uptake and loss by orders of magnitude for physically realistic viscosities. However, if the Stokes-Einstein relation is obeyed then, even for nanosized particles, viscosity can be ignored. In addition to numerical calculations, a dimensionless Deborah number is defined that indicates the significance of Fickian diffusion compared to the rheological response during water transport.

Numerical study on the mechanism of drag reduction for interceptors on planning boats

The drag reduction effect of interceptors on planning boats has been widely proven, but the mechanism of the effect has been rarely studied in terms of drag components, especially for spray resistance. The resistance was caused by the high gauge pressure under the boats transformed from the dynamic pressure, and it is the largest drag component in the high-speed planning mode. In this study, numerical simulations of viscous flow fields around a planning boat with and without interceptors were conducted. A two degrees of freedom motion model was employed to simulate the trim and sinkage. The numerical results were validated against the experimental data. The flow details with and without the interceptor were visualized and compared to reveal the underlying physics. A thinner and longer waterline could be achieved by the interceptor, which made the boat push the water away more gradually, and hence, the wave-making resistance could be decreased. The improved waterline also reduced the component of the freestream normal to the hull surface and led to the less transformed dynamic pressure, resulting in the lowAer spray resistance. Furthermore, the suppression of the flow separation could also be benefited from the interceptor; the viscous pressure resistance was therefore decreased.

Analysis of different scenarios with new Tsallis holographic dark energies and bulk viscous fluid in the framework of Chern–Simons modified gravity

In this work, we have studied various cosmological parameters in the presence of viscous new Tsallis holographic dark energies for interacting scenarios in the framework of Chern–Simons modified gravity. The bulk viscosity has been considered with the bulk viscous pressure chosen in the form [Formula: see text]. Hubble parameter [Formula: see text] has been obtained from the above choice of scale factor and in this viscous scenario, the effective pressure has been obtained in Chern–Simons framework whose field equation, cosmological consequences have been investigated. It has been observed that for the interaction scenario in the presence of bulk viscosity the EoS parameter is staying above [Formula: see text], which indicates quintessence behavior. Hence, for the universe filled with a bulk viscous fluid can have the possibility of avoidance of big-rip, although the earlier transition from quintessence to phantom is not avoidable.

Numerical Simulation of a Jumper Conveying Slurry for Deep-Sea Mining

One key technology for Deep-Sea Mining is the riser system. The riser is already a field-proven technology in the Petroleum Industry. However, several differences exist between a petroleum production riser and a riser for Deep-Sea Mining, mainly related to the internal flow. The ore-slurry has a larger density than the hydrocarbons and shall be pumped with a much higher flowrate. The current software tools for riser’s dynamic analysis may include the internal fluid hydrostatic pressure and the centrifugal and Coriolis forces imposed by the bent pipe’s internal flow. However, the internal pressure drop is not calculated. The internal pressure alters the pipe’s effective tension and can alter the pipe’s bending moment changing its mechanical behavior. This article describes a computational script’s development to run embedded in a commercial software for riser’s dynamic analysis. Our script calculates the internal viscous pressure drop along with the jumper. This pressure is then converted into wall axial tension (buckling) and imposed on each node of the jumper’s numerical model. Each simulation case was calculated twice with and without the internal flow viscous pressure drop. The comparison with experimental data revealed that the jumper’s average position has a good agreement among all cases. However, the amplitude caused by the top oscillation showed some discrepancies. Experimental data has the highest amplitude in the horizontal direction, while the simulation without viscous pressure calculation had the smallest. The simulation with our embedded script had intermediary amplitude in the horizontal direction. The vertical direction amplitudes have the same behavior for all cases, but the experimental data showed the highest amplitude.

Hull Form Optimization for a 62000DWT Heavy Lift Multi-Purpose Vessel

A new optimized hull form was proceeded based on a parent ship 60000 DWT bulk carrier. The goal of optimization is to obtain better resistance performance in the loading conditions of scantling draught and design draught. Firstly, the numerical simulation of the parent ship was carried out, the flow field information around the hull was analyzed, the area of high or low pressure was checked, and the area was optimized to make the pressure distribution more uniform. At the same time, the bow entrance section was optimized to reduce the wave-making resistance, and the length of the run body was lengthened to reduce the flow separation area and the viscous pressure resistance. Aiming at these above optimization objectives, the deformation range of hull form was set by commercial software CAESES, and the total resistance of generated optimized cases was solved by SHIPFLOW and evaluated by STARCCM+ software. To grantee the resistance reduction at both design draught and scantling draught, by using the operation profile optimization method, the resistance weights of scantling draught and design draught were set as 50% respectively, that is, the total resistance of optimized hull form equals 50% resistance of design draught condition and 50% resistance of scantling draught condition. The optimization results of total resistance were compared and analyzed, and the cases with relatively minimum total resistance were obtained. On this basis, the wake field at the propeller disk was optimized either, and finally, the target optimization of hull form was obtained. The numerical results showed that, compared with the parent ship, the total resistance at the design speed of the design draught was reduced by about 1.64%, about 2.10% at the design speed of the scantling draught. The wake distribution on the propeller area was more uniform. The final optimized hull form meets the target requirements.

Cosmic Evolution of Viscous QCD Epoch in Causal Eckart Frame

It is conjectured that in cosmological applications the particle current is not modified but finite heat or energy flow. Therefore, comoving Eckart frame is a suitable choice, as it merely ceases the charge and particle diffusion and conserves charges and particles. The cosmic evolution of viscous hadron and parton epochs in casual and non-casual Eckart frame is analyzed. By proposing equations of state deduced from recent lattice QCD simulations including pressure p, energy density ρ, and temperature T, the Friedmann equations are solved. We introduce expressions for the temporal evolution of the Hubble parameter H˙, the cosmic energy density ρ˙, and the share η˙ and the bulk viscous coefficient ζ˙. We also suggest how the bulk viscous pressure Π could be related to H. We conclude that the relativistic theory of fluids, the Eckart frame, and the finite viscous coefficients play essential roles in the cosmic evolution, especially in the hadron and parton epochs.

Testing dissipative dark matter in causal thermodynamics

In this paper we study the consistency of a cosmological model representing a universe filled with a one-component dissipative dark matter fluid, in the framework of the causal Israel–Stewart theory, where a general expression arising from perturbation analysis for the relaxation time [Formula: see text] is used. This model is described by an exact analytic solution recently found in [N. Cruz, E. González and G. Palma, Gen. Relat. Gravit. 52, 62 (2020), which depends on several model parameters as well as integration constants, allowing the use of Type Ia Supernovae and Observational Hubble data to perform by an astringent observational tests. The constraint regions found for the parameters of the solution allow the existence of an accelerated expansion of the universe at late times, after the domination era of the viscous pressure, which holds without the need of including a cosmological constant. Nevertheless, the fitted parameter values lead to drawbacks as a very large non-adiabatic contribution to the speed of sound, and some inconsistencies, not totally conclusive, with the description of the dissipative dark matter as a fluid, which is nevertheless a common feature of these kind of models.
