TLDR
A fluid is a substance in which the constituent molecules are free to move relative to each other, and in a solid, the relative positions of molecules remain essentially fixed under non-destructive conditions of temperature and pressure.Abstract:
A fluid is a substance in which the constituent molecules are free to move relative to each other Conversely, in a solid, the relative positions of molecules remain essentially fixed under non-destructive conditions of temperature and pressure While these definitions classify matter into fluids and solids, the fluids subdivide further into liquid and gasesread more

Scalable self-orienting surfaces: a compact, texture-enhanced representation for interactive visualization of 3D vector fields
Greg Schussman,Kwan-Liu Ma +1 more
TL;DR: A new texture-based field line representation which the authors call self-orienting surfaces is introduced that facilitates hardware-accelerated rendering and incorporation of various perceptually-effective techniques, resulting in intuitive visualization and interpretation of the data under study.

On the trajectory of leading-edge vortices under the influence of Coriolis acceleration
TL;DR: In this paper, a coupled system of ordinary differential equations is derived that describes the trajectory of an axial streamline through the vortex core, and the model is compared to previous work, and is found to predict the trajectories of the LEV core well at span-wise locations inboard of the midspan.

Computational Fluid Dynamics study on the performance and mechanism of suction control over a high-rise building
Chao-Rong Zheng,Yao-Chun Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an active suction control was proposed to investigate its drag-reducing property through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method, and the numerical method was validated by an experiment over a backward-facing step flow.

A level set method to study foam processing: a validation study
Rekha Ranjana Rao,Lisa Ann Mondy,David R. Noble,Harry K. Moffat,Douglas Adolf,Patrick K. Notz +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element representation of the equations of motion, with the movement of the free surface represented using the level set method, is used to encapsulate the complex physics of foam nucleation and growth in a numerically tractable manner.

Sur les stratégies de commande pour l'optimisation et la régulation de puissance des éoliennes à vitesse variable
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a strategy for venting forts and venting faibles, which maximises the capture of l'energies of the vent and regulates the vent's vitesse.
