Modelling of liquid metal flow and oxide film defects in filling of aluminium alloy castings [PDF]
The liquid metal flow behaviours in different runner system designs have important effects on the mechanical strength of aluminium alloy castings. In this paper, a new model has been developed which is a two-dimensional program using a finite difference ...

The shape of the urine stream — from biophysics to diagnostics [PDF]
We develop a new computational model of capillary-waves in free-jet flows, and apply this to the problem of urological diagnosis in this first ever study of the biophysics behind the characteristic shape of the urine stream as it exits the urethral ...

Verification of high-dose-rate brachytherapy treatment planning dose distribution using liquid-filled ionization chamber array [PDF]
This study aims to investigate the dosimetric performance of a liquid-filled ionization chamber array in high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy dosimetry. A comparative study was carried out with air-filled ionization chamber array and EBT3 Gafchromic films to demonstrate its suitability in brachytherapy.The PTW OCTAVIUS detector 1000 SRS (IA 2.5-5 mm) is ...
