An Artificial Compressibility Formulation for Phase-field Model and its Application to Two-phase Flows With the advent of high-speed computers, computational methods have become a very useful tool for solving problems in science and engineering along with analytical and ex perimental approaches. The starting point of computational methods is the mathematical model, the form, and origin of which depends on the particular field of study. Many im portant physical processes in nature are governed by partial differential equations (PDE’s). For this reason, it is important to understand the physical behavior of the PDE’s. Also, the knowledge of mathematical character, properties, and solution of the equations are re quired. A proper mathematical model and a good numerical method can provide realistic answerstocomplexphysicalphenomenaforwhichanalyticalsolutionmaynotbeavailable in a finite time. Two-phase flow occurs in nature and many areas of physical and biological sciences like oil recovery processes (water and oil), blood flow (plasma and blood cell), mud-flow (wa ter and suspended particles), atmosphere and ocean system (air and water), cloud and fog (water and air). In dealing with the two-phase flow, an important consideration is how to modelthemovinginterface/surface. Nevertheless,thePDEsdescribingthetwo-phaseflow are highly nonlinear and stiff so it is difficult to solve them analytically and a numerical simulation is an alternate option. The numerical solution obtained may only approximate that of original problem or at least within some required tolerance of the true solution. However,accuratesimulationofmovinginterfacepresentsaproblemofconsiderablediffi cultyandisthereforeverychallengingfordevelopingnumericalmethodsusinglarge-scale computation. Also, the boundary conditions need a particular treatment near the moving interface during numerical simulations. Shocks in the compressible flows, vortex sheets in inviscid flows, and boundaries between immiscible fluids are some of the very known examples. Mathematicalmodelsadoptedinbothanalyticalandnumericalstudiesforavarietyoftwo phase flow with moving interface are classified into two types, i.e., sharp interface models and diffuse interface models. Sharp interface models like level set method assume that the interface has zero thickness. However, in the phase transition, the existence of a transition region introduces the idea of the diffuse interface that allows the interface to have finite thickness. Onetypeofdiffuse-interfacemodelsofparticularinterestisaphase-fieldmodel by an introduction of a phase-field variable that represents the interface. In this approach, the phase-field variable is a continuous function in space and time. Phase-field models are numerically attractive for not tracking the interface explicitly but can be obtained as a part of the solution processes. InordertosolveunsteadyincompressibleNavier-Stokesequations,severalnumericalmeth ods are developed, including the artificial compressibility method. In this research work, a numerical algorithm based on artificial compressibility formulation of the phase-field modelisusedforsimulatingtwo-phaseflowsproblems. Thecoupledhydrodynamicalsys tem consists of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and volume preserving Allen Cahntypephase-fieldequationarerecastintoconservativeformswithsourceterms,which are suited for implementing high-order and high-resolution discretization schemes. The Boussinesq approximation is used for buoyancy effects in the flow with moderately differ ent densities. The performance of the numerical method is demonstrated by its application to some benchmark two-phase flow problems.

بابے دی نیکی تے بندے غلط فہمی

بابے دی نیکی تے بندے غلط فہمی

کسے پنڈ وچ اک بزرگ رہندا سی۔ بہت اخلاق والا، نماز دا پابند تے دیانت دار، سارے لوک اوس بزرگ دی عزت کردے سن۔ لوک اوس کول بیٹھدے تے اوہ لوکاں نوں دین دا گلاں سنا کے اوہناں دی سدھے رستے اتے چلن دی راہنمائی کردا۔ اوس بزرگ کول اوہدے بزرگاں دا رسی دا اک ٹوٹا سی۔ جو اوس نوں بہت پیارا سی۔ ایہہ اوس دے والد نے اوہنوں دیندے ہوئے آکھیا کہ اوہدے والد نے اوہنوں دتا اے۔ ایہہ بہت برکت والا اے۔ توں ایس وچ لکڑیاں بنھ کے بازار ویچن لئی جایا کر۔ تیرے روزی وچ بہت برکت ہووے گی۔ بابا ہر ویلے اوس نوں اپنے کول رکھدا۔ جنگل وچوں لکڑیاں ودھ کے اوہ ایس رسّی وچ بنھدا تے شہر جا کے لکڑیاں ویچ آندا۔ اوس دیاں لکڑیاں چھیتی وِک جاندیاں تے گھر آ کے اوہ فیر لوکاں نوں وعظ نصیحت کرن لگ جاندا۔

اک دن اوس نوں نالے دے پنڈ چوں شادی دا سدا آیا۔ تے اوہ شادی والے گھر اپڑ گیا۔ بھیڑ وچ اک امیر آدمی دا پرس چوری ہو گیا جس وچ بہت سارے پیسے، کاغذات تے کجھ ہور چیزاں وی سن، سارے لوک اک دوجے اتے شک کرن لگ پئے۔ بزرگ نے شادی والیاں نوں پیسے دیون لئی جیب وچ ہتھ پایا تاں رسی دا اوہ ٹوٹا زمین تے ڈگ پیا۔ جدوں اوہ اوس نوں چک رہیا سی تاں اک بندے نے اوس نوں زمین اتوں کوئی چیز چکدے ویکھ لیا۔ اوس گھر دے مالک نوں دسیا کہ اوس بابے کول پرس اے۔ مالک نے بابے توں پچھن توں بغیر ای تھانے جا کے ساری گل تھانے دار نوں دس دتی۔

کجھ ای چر مگروں پولیس شادی والے گھر آ گئی۔ اوہناں بزرگ نوں پھڑ...

Challenges for Indian Entry into Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC)

Enough of humiliation and what India calls as defaming by the resolutions by OIC on Kashmir, India has dealt with the challenges it had to face to enter into OIC. The tale of challenges faced by India, and the reciprocal attitude of New Delhi is a concrete depiction of international politics based on national interests, and where International organizations voice for human rights but get overpowered by individual member’s national interests. This piece of paper encompasses a show of challenges what India had to face, could overcome them and how creating challenges for its rivals.

Nanoformulation of Selected Medicinal Plants to Enhance Their Cardioprotective Potential

The present research work was designed to increase the bioavailability and cardioprotective potential of three important medicinal plants (Curcuma longa, Ginkgo biloba and Coriandrum sativum). This project was divided into different phases. In first phase of study, nanosuspensions of selected medicinal plants were prepared by choosing an appropriate stabilizer. Formulation conditions of nanosuspensions were optimized with response surface methodology. In second phase of study, optimized nanosuspensions of plants extract were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). In third phase of study, in-vitro drug release and pharmacokinetics of coarse and optimized nanosuspensions of plants extract were evaluated. In fourth phase of study, comparative bioactivities (cardioprotective potential, thrombolytic, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities) of coarse and nanosuspensions of plants were determined. Results of stabilizer screening selected sodium lauryl sulphate (stabilizer) for the preparation of nanosuspensions of selected plants. Optimized nanosuspensions of C. longa, G. biloba and C. sativum were prepared with mean particle size of 85.41 nm, 139.5 nm and 72.08 nm respectively. AFM also confirmed that particle sizes of all optimized nanosuspensions were in nanosize-range. FTIR analysis showed interaction between C. longa and stabilizer and no-interaction between other studied plants and stabilizer. In-vitro drug release and pharmacokinetics study revealed greater dissolution and bioavailability of optimized nanosuspensions of plants in comparison to their coarse suspensions/extracts. Nanosuspensions of plants showed better cardioprotective potential with reduced dose as compared to their coarse suspensions. In preventive mode of treatment, four-fold greater doses of coarse suspension of C. longa, G. biloba and double dose of coarse suspension of C. sativum were required to normalize the salbutamol elevated levels of cardiac enzymes and lipids in comparison to their nanosuspensions. Antimicrobial, thrombolytic and antioxidant activities of plants were also enhanced in nanosuspension preparation. Moreover, optimized nanosuspensions were found fairly stable for a period of three months and cytotoxicity study revealed no harmful effects of formulated nanosuspensions.
