Numerical Methods for Obtaining Multimedia Graphical Effects

This paper is an explanatory document about how several animations effects can be obtained using different numerical methods, as well as investigating the possibility of implementing them on very simple yet powerful massive parallel machines. The methods are clearly described, containing graphical examples of the effects, as well as workflow for the algorithms. All of the methods presented in this paper use only numerical matrix manipulations, which usually are fast, and do not require the use of any other graphical software application.raster graphics, numerical matrix manipulation, animation effects

Transabdominal pre-peritoneal repair procedure (TAPP) versus open hernia repair (OHR) in the treatment of inguinal hernia

Inguinal hernia is a common condition, with about 30% of men and 6% of women developing this condition throughout their lifetime. Laparoscopic hernia repair procedures have become more and more important lately, due to the advantages of a fast recovery and reduced postoperative pain. The paper presents our clinical experience involving the TAPP repair procedure, compared to open hernia repair (OHR). We retrospectively compared our first 50 cases comprising patients who underwent the TAPP hernia repair procedure between January 2018 and June 2020, with 50 cases who underwent the OHR procedure in the same period. The total operation duration was 102.5 minutes in the TAPP group and 78.4 minutes in the OHR group. The average hospital stay in the TAPP group was 1.5 days with six patients requiring reinterventions for postoperative bleeding and who were discharged seven to nine days later. There is still no consensus regarding the use of tacks and/or the surgical glue, the surgeon\u27s experience and the intraoperative findings representing a cornerstone in choosing the best repair method for each case. Laparoscopic hernia repair has some advantages over the open technique, but it can be followed by complications that can further raise parameters

Transonic Airfoil Flow Simulation. Part II: Inviscid-Viscous Coupling Scheme

A calculation method for the subsonic and transonic viscous flow over airfoil using the displacement surface concept is described. This modelling technique uses a finite volume method for the time-dependent Euler equations and laminar and turbulent boundary-layer integral methods. In additional special models for transition, laminar or turbulent separation bubbles and trailing edge treatment have been selected. However, the flow is limited to small parts of trailing edge-type separation. Comparisons with experimental data and other methods are shown

The laminar boundary layer on a rotating wind turbine blade

The present paper describes a method to calculate velocity profiles in the boundary layer ofrotating blade. A differential approach is used to solve the laminar boundary layer equations. Theeffects of tip speed ratio, dimensionless radial position r/R and angle of attack have been analyzed.The test airfoils used in the simulations are NACA 63-215 and S809. The resulting velocity profiles inthe chordwise and spanwise directions are mapped and stored in a Database according to theboundary layer parameters

Blowing jets as a circulation flow control to enhancement the lift of wing or generated power of wind turbine

The goal of this paper is to provide a numerical flow analysis based on RANS equations in two directions: the study of augmented high-lift system for a cross-section airfoil of a wing up to transonic regime and the circulation control implemented by tangentially blowing jet over a highly curved surface due to Coanda effect on a rotor blade for a wind turbine. This study were analyzed the performance, sensitivities and limitations of the circulation control method based on blowing jet for a fixed wing as well as for a rotating wing. Directions of future research are identified and discussed

Gridovi fine prostorne rezolucije dnevnih visina snijega za Rumunjsku (2005.–2015.)

This study presents the spatial interpolation procedure from snow depth measurements at weather stations implying the following stages: (1) Spatial interpolation at 1 km × 1 km resolution of the mean multiannual values (2005-2015) corresponding to each month, computed from the data extracted from the climatological database; (2) Computation of the daily deviations against the multiannual monthly mean for every day and year over 2005–2015 and their spatial interpolation; (3) Spatio-temporal datasets were obtained through merging the two surfaces obtained in stages 1 and 2. The anomalies were considered to be the ratio between the daily snow depth values and the climatology. The spatial variability of the data used in the first stage was accounted for through the use of a series of predictors derived from the digital elevation model (DEM). To plot the maps with the climatological normals (multiannual means), the Regression-Kriging (RK) spatial interpolation method was used. In order to choose the optimum method applied in spatializing deviations, four interpolation methods were tested using a cross-validation procedure: Multiquadratic, Ordinary Kriging (separated and pooled variograms) and 3d Kriging.Ova studija prikazuje proceduru prostorne interpolacije mjerenja dubine snijega na meteorološkim postajama koja podrazumijeva sljedeće faze: (1) prostorna interpolacija pri rezoluciji od 1 km x 1 km srednjih višegodišnjih vrijednosti (2005.–2015.), koja se provodi s podacima iz klimatološke baze; (2) izračunavanje dnevnih odstupanja od višegodišnjeg mjesečnog srednjaka za svaki dan i godinu tijekom razdoblja od 2005. do 2015. i njihova prostorna interpolacija; (3) prostorno-vremenski skup podataka dobiven je združivanjem procjena dobivenih u fazi 1 i 2. Odstupanja su definirana kao omjeri dnevnih vrijednosti dubine snijeg i klimatološkog srednjaka. Prostorna varijabilnost podataka korištenih u prvoj fazi objašnjena je korištenjem niza prediktora izvedenih iz digitalnog modela visina (DEM). Karte klimatoloških normala (višegodišnji srednjaci) izrađene su metodom prostorne interpolacije zvanom regresijski kriging (RK). Za odabir optimalne metode za prostornu interpolaciju odstupanja, testirane su četiri metode interpolacije i ocijenjene pomoću postupka poprečne validacije: multikvadratična, obični kriging (razdvojeni i skupni variogrami) i 3D kriging

Opportunities for Urban Regeneration Operations and Re-evaluation of Existing Framework, Bucharest Industrial Areas Specific Issues

The expansion of the city, in many cases, has resulted in increased costs for installations and technical equipment and the amenities for housing, movement, health, education, leisure, etc. Spatial expansion of cities, with advantages and disadvantages, occurs in parallel with the growth of population and its movement to the great metropolitan areas situated at the periphery. As a result, urban density decreases within the city, but problems arise in housing quality, urban traffic management, waste management, increasing pollution sources, etc. Problems and challenges of interventions on the urban framework are linked to a large extent with the issue of limiting the operations, both in terms of goals and the implementation stages, as well in terms of space, because often the approach of solving certain dysfunctions in an area implies significant changes in the surrounding areas. This article presents the opportunities regarding urban regeneration operations, the need to approach urban regeneration being revealed after a brief analysis of the types of intervention on the urban framework of former industrialareas in Bucharest City and their corresponding projects, analysis carried out in terms of how these projects meet the criteria of frequently used urban interventions such as the renovation, reconstruction, modernization, revitalization and restructuring. Thus, we can see that in terms of industrial space utilization is carried out a transition to a mixed-used area which manifests itself by building commercial functions, services and housing, this operation being realized in a spontaneous manner, rather than being a planned and integrated process. Moreover, urban regeneration is a strategic activity that involves short-term measures to resolve the immediate difficulties and long-term approach to avoid future problem
