UNIFIED GAS KINETIC SIMULATIONS OF LID-DRIVEN CAVITY FLOWS: EFFECT OF COMPRESSIBILITY AND RAREFACTION ON VORTEX STRUCTURES

Unified Gas Kinetic Simulations of Lid-Driven Cavity Flows: Effect of Compressibility and Rarefaction on Vortex Structures

We investigate and characterize the effect of compressibility and rarefaction on vortex structures in the benchmark lid-driven cavity flow.Direct numerical simulations are performed, employing the unified gas kinetic scheme to examine the changes in vortex generation mechanisms and the resulting moonbon flow structures at different Mach and Knudsen

A modified Delphi approach to develop a trial protocol for antibiotic de-escalation in patients with suspected sepsis

Abstract Background: Early administration of antibiotics in sepsis is associated with improved patient outcomes, but safe and generalizable approaches to de-escalate or discontinue antibiotics after suspected sepsis events are unknown.Methods: We used a modified marvin pflaume instagram Delphi approach to identify safety criteria for an opt-out pro

Composition of nitrogen in urban residential stormwater runoff: Concentrations, loads, and source characterization of nitrate and organic nitrogen.

Stormwater runoff is a leading cause of nitrogen (N) transport to water bodies and hence one means of water quality deterioration.Stormwater runoff was monitored in an urban residential catchment (drainage area: 3.89 hectares) in Florida, United States to investigate the concentrations, forms, and sources of N.Runoff samples were collected over 22
