Novel on-chip applications using silicon photonics by Gamal, Rania

“…We show that the proposed design is more superior in several areas. Firstly, simulations show that ridge-shaped sensors respond slightly more strongly to refractive-index changes than rib-shaped sensors. …”

The study of the influence of the lifter height on the charge motion, velocity profile and power draw of a laboratory tumbling mill using DEM simulations by Uys, Adri Mari

“…The agreement between PEPT and the model predictions was limited to regions closest to the mill shell and the analysis was restricted for conditions where the lifter height was significantly smaller than the particle diameter. …”

Computational analysis of viscoelastic fluid dynamics with applications to heat exchangers by Mavi, Anele

“…Non-Newtonian viscoelastic fluids in heat exchanger arrangements are encountered in various industrial applications such as power generation, refrigeration and in the food processing industry where the need for cooling and heating of liquids is required. The model problem is governed by complex, non-linear and coupled partial differential equations. …”

Aspects of amplitudes, gravity & complexity by Moynihan, Nathan

“…We then construct the scattering amplitudes of massive gravitons to probe the so-called van Dam-Veltman-Zakharov (vDVZ) discontinuity in a purely on-shell manner, which we again find to be in agreement with the usual result. …”
