This work presents a computational analysis of the heat-exchange characteristics in a doublecylinder (also known as a double-pipe) geometrical arrangement. The heat-exchange is from a hotter viscoelastic fluid flowing in the core (inner) cylinder to a cooler Newtonian fluid flowing in the shell (outer) annulus. For optimal heat-exchange characteristics, the core and shell fluid flow in opposite directions, the so-called counter-flow arrangement. The mathematical modelling of the given problem reduces to a system of nonlinear coupled Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). Specifically, the rheological behaviour of the core fluid is governed by the Giesekus viscoelastic constitutive model. The governing system of coupled nonlinear PDEs is intractable to analytic treatment and hence is solved numerically using Finite Volume Methods (FVM). The FVM numerical methodology is implemented via the open-source software package OpenFOAM. The numerical methods are stabilized, specifically to address numerical instabilities arising from the High Weissenberg Number Problem (HWNP), via a combination of the Discrete Elastic Viscous Stress Splitting (DEVSS) technique and the Log-Conformation Reformulation (LCR) methodology. The DEVSS and LCR stabilization techniques are integrated into the relevant viscoelastic fluid solvers. The novelties of the study center around the simulation and analysis of the optimal heat-exchange characteristics between the heated Giesekus fluid and the coolant Newtonian fluid within a double-pipe counter-flow arrangement. Existing studies in the literature have either focused exclusively on Newtonian fluids and/or on rectangular geometries. The existing OpenFOAM solvers have also largely focused on non-isothermal viscoelastic flows. The relevant OpenFOAM solvers are modified for the present purposes by incorporating the energy equation for viscoelastic fluid flow. The flow characteristics are presented qualitatively (graphically) via the fluid pressure, tem

By performing density functional theory plus U calculations, we systematically study the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of U02 under uniaxial tensile strain. The results show that the ideal tensile strengths along the [100], [110], and [111] directions are 93.6, 2Z7, and 16.4 GPa at strains of 0.44, 0.24, and 0.16, respectively. After electronic-structure investigation for tensile stain along the [001] direction, we find that the strong mixed ionic/covalent character of U-O bond is weakened by the tensile strain and there will occur an insulator to metal transition at strain over 0.30.

We perform a first-principles computational tensile test on PuO_(2)based on density-functional theory within a local density approximation(LDA)+U formalism to investigate its structural,mechanical,magnetic and intrinsic bonding properties in four representative directions:[001],[100],[110]and[111].The stress-strain relations show that the ideal tensile strengths in the four directions are 81.2,80.5,28.3 and 16.8 GPa at strains of 0.36,0.36,0.22 and 0.18,***[001]and[100]directions are prominently stronger than the other two directions since more Pu-0 bonds participate in the pulling *** charge and density of state analysis along the[001]direction,we find that the strong mixed ioni%ovalent character of the Pu-0 bond is weakened by tensile strain and PuO_(2)will exhibit an insulator-to-metal transition after tensile stresses exceeding about 79 GPa.

Twin graphene, a novel two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting carbon allotrope, is theorized to exist and may have numerous potential applications due to its superior electronic and mechanical properties. In this study, we propose a new stable nanotube by rolling up twin graphene sheets, referred to as a twin graphene nanotube (TGNT). Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to investigate the mechanical properties of TGNT under uniaxial tensile loading. It was found that the Young’s modulus and failure behavior of TGNTs depend strongly on their intrinsic structure. The Young’s modulus decreased with increasing TGNT diameter. The effects of the strain rate, nanotube length, and temperature on the Young’s modulus were investigated in detail. These findings provide a fundamental understanding of the mechanical properties of TGNT.

We develop a semiclassical model to describe the non-sequential double ionization of aligned diatomic molecules in an intense linearly polarized field. It is found that in the tunnelling regime, the oriented molecule shows geometric effects on double ionization process when aligned parallel and perpendicular to the external field. Our results are qualitatively consistent with the recent experimental observations.

A family of finite difference schemes for the acoustic wave equation in heterogeneous media is introduced. The precision and computational cost are analyzed in two cases. First, a two-layered medium is considered. The order of convergence at the interface is derived for each scheme. Given an a priori accuracy on the solution, the computational cost is studied as a function of the order of accuracy of the finite difference scheme. It is demonstrated that this function has a minimum. The previous results are extended to the case of random media by a numerical study. Similar conclusions about precision and cost are found.

In this paper, we study the decay rates of the generalized Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equations in n-dimensional space. By using Fourier analysis for long wave and by applying the energy method for short wave, we obtain the Hm convergence rates of the solutions when the initial data are in the bounded subset of the phase space HmeRnTen P 3T. The optimal decay rates are obtained in our results and are found to be the same as the Heat equation.
