Preliminary experimental investigation of boundary layer in decelerating flow

Investigations of characteristics of turbulence inside boundary layer under decelerating flow were studied by means of constant temperature anemometer. The decelerating flow was simulated in the closed circuit wind tunnel 0.9 m × 0.5 m at IT AS CR. The free stream turbulence was either natural o risen up by square mesh plane grid. The details of experimental settings and measurement procedures of the instantaneous longitudinal velocity component are described and the distributions of intensity, skewness and kurtosis of turbulent fluctuations are discussed in the contribution

An algorithm for addressing the real interval eigenvalue problem

AbstractIn this paper we present an algorithm for approximating the range of the real eigenvalues of interval matrices. Such matrices could be used to model real-life problems, where data sets suffer from bounded variations such as uncertainties (e.g. tolerances on parameters, measurement errors), or to study problems for given states.The algorithm that we propose is a subdivision algorithm that exploits sophisticated techniques from interval analysis. The quality of the computed approximation and the running time of the algorithm depend on a given input accuracy. We also present an efficient C++ implementation and illustrate its efficiency on various data sets. In most of the cases we manage to compute efficiently the exact boundary points (limited by floating point representation)

TOUCH INTERACTION WITH 3D GEOGRAPHICAL VISUALIZATION ON WEB: SELECTED TECHNOLOGICAL AND USER ISSUES

The use of both 3D visualization and devices with touch displays is increasing. In this paper, we focused on the Web technologies for 3D visualization of spatial data and its interaction via touch screen gestures. At the first stage, we compared the support of touch interaction in selected JavaScript libraries on different hardware (desktop PCs with touch screens, tablets, and smartphones) and software platforms. Afterward, we realized simple empiric test (within-subject design, 6 participants, 2 simple tasks, LCD touch monitor Acer and digital terrain models as stimuli) focusing on the ability of users to solve simple spatial tasks via touch screens. An in-house testing web tool was developed and used based on JavaScript, PHP, and X3DOM languages and Hammer.js libraries. The correctness of answers, speed of users’ performances, used gestures, and a simple gesture metric was recorded and analysed. Preliminary results revealed that the pan gesture is most frequently used by test participants and it is also supported by the majority of 3D libraries. Possible gesture metrics and future developments including the interpersonal differences are discussed in the conclusion
