Comparative computational analysis of drag-reducing devices for tractor-trailers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Constant rise in fuel price in recent times has caused manufacturers of heavy commercial vehicles (HCV) to turn to efficient aerodynamic design of trucks, wagons, tractors as well as trailers.

Flexible conformable hydrophobized surfaces for turbulent flow drag reduction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In recent years extensive work has been focused onto using superhydrophobic surfaces for drag reduction applications. Superhydrophobic surfaces retain a gas layer, called a plastron, when submerged underwater in the Cassie-Baxter state with water in ...

An α-Model Parametrization Algorithm for Optimization with Differential-Algebraic Equations

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
An optimization task with nonlinear differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) was approached. In special cases in heat and mass transfer engineering, a classical direct shooting approach cannot provide a solution of the DAE system, even in a relatively ...

A Direct Optimization Algorithm for Problems with Differential-Algebraic Constraints: Application to Heat and Mass Transfer

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
In this article, an optimization task with nonlinear differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) is considered. As a main result, a new solution procedure is designed. The computational procedure represents the sequential optimization approach.

Change in drag, apparent slip and optimum air layer thickness for laminar flow over an idealised superhydrophobic surface [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Analytic results are derived for the apparent slip length, the change in drag and the optimum air layer thickness of laminar channel and pipe flow over an idealised superhydrophobic surface, i.e. a gas layer of constant thickness retained on a wall.

Model-based electrospinning process design for nanofibers production

open access: yesITM Web of Conferences, 2018
The main concept of the electrospinning process modeling is to overcome difficulties associated with the experimental-based optimization procedure. Thus, 3-dimensional polynomial models were discussed in this work.

Topological Dragging of Solitons [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2005
We put forward properties of solitons supported by optical lattices featuring topological dislocations, and show that solitons experience attractive and repulsive forces around the dislocations. Suitable arrangements of dislocations are even found to form soliton traps, and the properties of such solitons are shown to crucially depend on the trap ...

The Image of Intercultural Relations in the TV Serial. Case Study of Dziewczyny ze Lwowa (Girls from Lviv)

open access: yesActa Universitatis Lodziensis. Folia Litteraria Polonica, 2018
The article focuses on the intercultural meeting between Poles and Ukrainians in the television series. The series Girls from Lviv was created by Poles and presents stories of Ukrainian migrating to Warsaw for economic reasons.
