TL;DR: In this paper, a cell boundary element method is used to solve the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equation for vortex-shedding flows around arrays of cylinders, and the method is a hybrid scheme using a boundary element in each fluid cell discretization with a finite element procedure to solve for the global fluid problem.

TL;DR: The cell boundary element method (cell BEM) was also used to solve flows around two cylinders of equal diameter side by side and in tandem in this article, but no modifications to the method were needed to compute the flow field for these connected domains.

TL;DR: A mesh-free computational method based on radial basis functions in a finite difference mode (RBF-FD) has been developed for the incompressible Navier—Stokes equations in stream function vorticity form, and hence advancing solutions will in time be of comparatively lower cost.
Abstract: Meshless methods for solving fluid and fluid-structure problems have become a promising alternative to the finite volume and finite element methods. In this paper, a mesh-free computational method based on radial basis functions in a finite difference mode (RBF-FD) has been developed for the incompressible Navier—Stokes (NS) equations in stream function vorticity form. This compact RBF-FD formulation generates sparse coefficient matrices, and hence advancing solutions will in time be of comparatively lower cost. The spatial discretization of the incompressible NS equations is done using the RBF-FD method and the temporal discretization is achieved by explicit Euler time-stepping and the Crank—Nicholson method. A novel ghost node strategy is used to incorporate the no-slip boundary conditions. The performance of the RBF-FD scheme with the ghost node strategy is validated against a variety of benchmark problems, including a model fluid—structure interaction problem, and is found to be in a good agreement with the existing results. In addition, a higher-order RBF-FD scheme (which uses ideas from Hermite interpolation) is then proposed for solving the NS equations.

TL;DR: This book by a teacher of statistics (as well as a consultant for "experimenters") is a comprehensive study of the philosophical background for the statistical design of experiment.
Abstract: THE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF EXPERIMENTS. By Oscar Kempthorne. New York, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 1952. 631 pp. $8.50. This book by a teacher of statistics (as well as a consultant for \"experimenters\") is a comprehensive study of the philosophical background for the statistical design of experiment. It is necessary to have some facility with algebraic notation and manipulation to be able to use the volume intelligently. The problems are presented from the theoretical point of view, without such practical examples as would be helpful for those not acquainted with mathematics. The mathematical justification for the techniques is given. As a somewhat advanced treatment of the design and analysis of experiments, this volume will be interesting and helpful for many who approach statistics theoretically as well as practically. With emphasis on the \"why,\" and with description given broadly, the author relates the subject matter to the general theory of statistics and to the general problem of experimental inference.

TL;DR: The study of distributed systems which bring to life the vision of ubiquitous computing systems, also known as ambient intelligence, is concentrated on in this work.
Abstract: With digital equipment becoming increasingly networked, either on wired or wireless networks, for personal and professional use alike, distributed software systems have become a crucial element in information and communications technologies. The study of these systems forms the core of the ARLES' work, which is specifically concerned with defining new system software architectures, based on the use of emerging networking technologies. In this context, we concentrate on the study of distributed systems which bring to life the vision of ubiquitous computing systems, also known as ambient intelligence.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of Reynolds number in the nominal case of an infinitely long and non-confined cylinder in a smooth oncoming flow are discussed, from about Re = 47 to 2 x 10(5), i.e., from the onset of vortex shedding up to the end of the subcritical regime.

TL;DR: The current understanding of the flow around two infinite circular cylinders of equal diameter immersed in a steady cross-flow, with a focus on the near-wake flow patterns, Reynolds number effects, intermediate wake structure and behaviour, and the general trends in the measurements of the aerodynamic force coefficients and Strouhal numbers are reviewed in this paper.
