Computation of turbulent flows

Abstract: Substantial advances made over the past decade in the prediction of turbulent flows are discussed. There was extensive work in the development of turbulence models, particularly for use in boundary layer calculations. Basic aspects of several important methods based on partial differential equations for the mean velocity field and turbulence quantities, including the relationship between the methods and suggestions for future development were reviewed. Work on three-dimensional time-dependent large eddy simulations is discussed. The emphasis is on the hydrodynamics of incompressible flows, but sources for consideration of heat transfer and compressibility are mentioned.

Decrease in Depression Symptoms Is Associated With Longer Survival in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer: A Secondary Analysis

Abstract: Purpose Numerous studies have examined the comorbidity of depression with cancer, and some have indicated that depression may be associated with cancer progression or survival. However, few studies have assessed whether changes in depression symptoms are associated with survival. Methods In a secondary analysis of a randomized trial of supportive-expressive group therapy, 125 women with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) completed a depression symptom measure (Center for Epidemiologic Studies–Depression Scale [CES-D]) at baseline and were randomly assigned to a treatment group or to a control group that received educational materials. At baseline and three follow-up points, 101 of 125 women completed a depression symptom measure. We used these data in a Cox proportional hazards analysis to examine whether decreasing depression symptoms over the first year of the study (the length of the intervention) would be associated with longer survival.
