Simulation on Flow Behaviors of Viscoelastic Polymer Solution in a Channel with Sudden Contraction
In the process of water flooding alone, the residual oil remaining within porous media is difficult to be displaced or recovered. In comparison, polymer flooding is more effective. Experimental results indicat...

New Evaluations of Neutron Cross Sections for 14N and 16O
New evaluations of the neutron cross sections for 14N and 16O have been made for ENDF/B-VI. The evaluations are based at low energies on R-matrix analyses of reactions in the 15N and 17O systems, and at higher en...

Raman Scattering Studies of Optical Phonons in GaAs/AlAs and GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs Superlattices
It is weL.L. known from the phonon dispersion curves of bulk GaAs and AlAs that though their acoustic branches basically overlap, the optical branches do not. As a consequence, in GaAs/AlAs superlattices the a...

Panel Clustering Technique for Lifting Potential Flows in the Three Space Dimensions
We present a new type of the panel method, based on the use of an efficient self-adaptive quadrature technique for singular integrals. For this technique, a preprocessing phase is introduced, during which a se...
