A study of flame-vortex interactions in the presence of residual gases
No full textIn this work the effects of residual combustion products from a prior injection on flame extinction characteristics in a Diesel fuel pulse are investigated through a fundamental study. A numerical code with sixth-order accurate spatial discretization and multiple-step chemical kinetics is used to simulate flame-vortex interactions under Diesel conditions in the presence of residual combustion product mixtures. The results indicate that there is a balance between the heating effect of the high-temperature combustion products that enhance flame stability and the dilution effect of the reduced oxygen concentration, which promotes extinction. These counteracting aspects of the entrained combustion products can lead to an ideal dwell time between multiple injection events for optimum benefits in flame stability.Jonathan W.

Drag and inertia coefficients for horizontally submerged rectangular cylinders in waves and currents
No full textThe results of an experimental investigation carried out to measure combined wave and current loads on horizontally submerged square and rectangular cylinders are reported in this paper. The wave and current induced forces on a section of the cylinders with breadth-depth (aspect) ratios equal to 1, 0.5, and 0.75 are measured in a wave tank. The maximum value of Keulegan-Carpenter (KC) number obtained in waves alone is about 5 and Reynolds (Re) number ranged from 6.3976103 to 1.186105. The drag (CD) and inertia (CM) coefficients for each cylinder are evaluated using measured sectional wave forces and particle kinematics calculated from linear wave theory. The values of CD and CM obtained for waves alone have already been reported (Venugopal, V., Varyani, K. S., and Barltrop, N. D. P. Wave force coefficients for horizontally submerged rectangular cylinders. Ocean Engineering, 2006, 33, 11-12, 1669-1704) and the coefficients derived in combined waves and currents are presented here. The results indicate that both drag and inertia coefficients are strongly affected by the presenceof the current and show different trends for different cylinders. The values of the vertical component inertia coefficients (CMY) in waves and currents are generally smaller than the inertia coefficients obtained in waves alone, irrespective of the current's magnitude and direction. The results also illustrate the effect of a cylinder's aspect ratio on force coefficients. This study will be useful in the design of offshore structures whose columns and caissons are rectangular sections
The Marginalized People from the Perspective Su Venugopal
No full textAfter the nineties, the theory of postmodernism became hotly talked about in the artistic and literary contexts of Tamil. In the marginal counter-narratives posed by this theory, the marginal concepts provided many new openings. Thus, the views and records of marginalized people who were subjected to neglect and oppression gained a new lease on life. There are also contributions from many authors behind this. In this Su Venugopal is remarkable. In all his stories, humanity is at the core of it. His voice for the marginalized sections of the downtrodden is silently recorded in the stories, with a sharply critical tone towards the prevailing dominant society. Thus, this article examines Su Venugopal's fictions about agricultural labourers, women, the physically challenged, and transgenders living in the marginalized state away from the core. Su Venugopal is a storyteller with a realist background in a straightforward narrative. There are more than five volumes of his short stories and this article is the subject of his research. This article moves on to the hypothesis that Su Venugopal's stories explain marginalized people and their lives from within their own domain. The physical and mental distress and crowded acts of relationships of marginalized people who yearn for support, comfort, and warmth become central to Su Venugopal's stories
TeraWatt North Atlantic spectral wave model input files (for MIKE 21)
No full textNORTH ATLANTIC MIKE 21 MODEL INPUT FILES
This submission includes the input files for the North Atlantic spectral wave model that is described in [1,2]. It formed part of the TeraWatt and EcoWatt2050 EPSRC projects (grant numbers EP/J010170/1 &
EP/K012851/1 respectively).
The input files require the MIKE 21 modelling suite to run, available commercially from https://www.mikepoweredbydhi.com/; they were created and validated using the 2014 edition. Input files are being stored instead of outputs as per RCUK guidelines due to the size of the output files.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
MIKE 21 West Orkney Monthly Hs Summary Outputs
No full textMIKE 21 WEST ORKNEY MONTHLY Hs SUMMARY OUTPUTS
This collection of netCDF format files contains monthly summary outputs of significant wave height (Hs) from the West of Orkney MIKE 21 spectral wave model described in [1]. For each month the mean Hs and the values of the 5,10,20...,90,95th percentiles are given for each cell in the model.
The model was designed to study the effects on wave height of both wave energy extraction and climate change.
Four scenarios are included: Present day (2010) with and without wave energy convertors, and future climate (~2050) with and without wave energy convertors. See [1] for more detail on present-day; a future publication will describe the future version.
This model was developed under the TeraWatt and EcoWatt2050 EPSRC projects (grant numbers EP/J010170/1 & EP/K012851/1 respectively). The data archived here are being used within the EcoWatt project for ongoing ecological studies.
For the input files for the model used to produce these outputs, please see submission "WEST ORKNEY MIKE 21 MODEL INPUT FILES" in this repository.
