    Vorticity-Bases Adaptive Mesh Refinement for Upscaling of Highly Heterogeneous Porous Media

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Shahriari, Arjang (Author) ; Firoozabadi, Bahar (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    The results of numerical simulation of underground flows are greatly affected not only by the discretization method of flow equations, but also by the way that the geological domain is upscaled. Including the detailed knowledge of heterogeneous permeability distribution is mostly neither feasible nor computationally efficient. So it is important to develop efficient grid generation and upscaling methods to simplify the fine-scale flow model while still including the impact of the heterogeneities as far as possible. Thus regions where parameters of interest have larger values or higher changes require finer grid blocks and regions with lower values or minor changes should have coarser grid... 

    On the Antimagic Graphs

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Iran Nezhad, Hassan (Author) ; Akbari, Saeed (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    A labeling of a graph is a bijection of edges in graph G to the set {1,2,…, m}. A labeling is antimagic if for any distinct vertices u and v, the sum of the labels on edges incident to u is different from the sum of the labels on edges incident to v. We say a graph is antimagic if it has an antimagic labeling.. In 1990, Hartsfield and Ringel conjectured that every connected graph other than K2 are Antimagic.In this thesis, we show that each graph with at least two degrees can be called Antimagic. We prove this conjecture for regular graphs of odd degree. and then it will be shown that Cartesian graphs have the property of Antimagic Labeling. Finally, we purpose a novel method for k-th powers...

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Ghayem, Fateme (Author) ; Marvasti, Farrokh (Supervisor) ; Shamsollahi, Mohammad Bagher (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Magnetic Resonance Imaging is one of the most advanced medical imaging procedure that noninvasively played in most applications. However, this imaging method is a good resolution, but not in the conventional high speed imaging method, in fact, the main problem is slow. In recent years many studies have been done to accelerate MRI that compressed sensing can be mentioned among them. Such methods, however, have had very good results but MRI systems are very complex. This project investigates the reconstruction of MR images using data from partial non-Cartesian samples aimed at reducing sampling time and also speed up the process of reconstruction of MR images have been studied. In this regard,... 

    Ultrasound Image Reconstruction using Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Shirazi, Sara (Author) ; Vosoughi Vahdat, Bijhan (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In this thesis its considered the characterization of an ultrasound wave in a medium with some obstacles. Derivation of speed of molecules and pressure of the wave is carried out in the Cartesian coordinates system. Simulation is carried out to prove the dependency of wave speed to set up parameters such as the target point (x,y,z) at which the speed value is obtained, the location of the obstacles, the amplitude of original wave emitting from the source, and the propagation speed in different layers of the medium. From the numerical results, it is apparent that the amplitude of the speed wave gets degraded as the wave travels through the medium which is a function of reflection and...

    Development of Compact Finite-Difference Lattice Boltzmann Method for Solving Two-Phase Flows

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Ezzatneshan, Eslam (Author) ; Hejranfar, Kazem (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In the present thesis, a high-order compact finite-difference lattice Boltzmann method (CFDLBM) is proposed and applied for an accurate and efficient numerical simulation of liquid-vapor two-phase flows. At first, the stability of the fourth-order CFDLBM is performed by using the von Neumann stability analysis for the D2Q7 and D2Q9 lattices. The stability analysis indicates that the CFDLBM proposed is stable and thus suitable for the simulation of high Reynolds number flows. The high-order CFDLBM is then developed and applied to accurately compute 2-D and 3-D incompressible flows in the Cartesian coordinates. Herein, the spatial derivatives in the lattice Boltzmann equation are discretized... 

    Performance modeling of Cartesian product networks

    , Article Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing ; Vol. 71, issue. 1 , 2011 , p. 105-113 ; ISSN: 07437315 Moraveji, R ; Sarbazi-Azad, H ; Zomaya, A.Y ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    This paper presents a comprehensive performance model for fully adaptive routing in wormhole-switched Cartesian product networks. Besides the generality of the model which makes it suitable to be used for any product graph, experimental (simulation) results show that the proposed model exhibits high accuracy even in heavy traffic and saturation region, where other models have severe problems to predict the performance of the network. Most popular interconnection network can be defined as a Cartesian product of two or more networks including the mesh, hypercube, and torus networks. Torus and mesh networks are the most popular topologies used in recent supercomputing parallel machines. They... 

    Resource placement in Cartesian product of networks

    , Article Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing ; Vol. 70, issue. 5 , May , 2010 , p. 481-495 ; ISSN: 7437315 Imani, N ; Sarbazi-Azad, H ; Zomaya, A.Y ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    The utilization of the limited resources of a multiprocessor or multicomputer system is a primary performance issue which is crucial for the design of many scheduling algorithms. While many of the existing parallel machines benefit from a regular product network topology, almost none of the previous resource placement techniques have come to recognize and exploit this inherent regularity. This paper introduces several novel algorithms for deriving resource placement schemes in product networks based on the assumption of perfect resource placement in their underling basic graphs. Our techniques use known schemes for the basic networks as their building blocks for deploying the resource...

    , Article Advanced Robotics ; Vol. 28, issue. 19 , October , 2014 , pp. 1277-1290 ; ISSN: 01691864 Sharifi, M ; Behzadipour, S ; Vossough, G. R ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    In this paper, a nonlinear model reference adaptive impedance controller is proposed and tested. The controller provides asymptotic tracking of a reference impedance model for the robot end-effector in Cartesian coordinates applicable to rehabilitation robotics or any other human-robot interactions such as haptic systems. The controller uses the parameters of a desired stable reference model which is the target impedance for the robots end-effector. It also considers uncertainties in the model parameters of the robot. The asymptotic tracking is proven using Lyapunov stability theorem. Moreover, the adaptation law is proposed in joint space for reducing the complexity of its calculations;... 

    On the dynamic coloring of cartesian product graphs

    , Article Ars Combinatoria ; Vol. 114 , 2014 , pp. 161-168 ; ISSN: 03817032 Akbari, S ; Ghanbari, M ; Jahanbekam, S ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    Let G and H be two graphs. A proper vertex coloring of G is called a dynamic coloring, if for every vertex v with degree at least 2, the neighbors of v receive at least two different colors. The smallest integer k such that G has a dynamic coloring with k colors denoted by χ2(G). We denote the cartesian product of G and H by G□H. In this paper, we prove that if G and H are two graphs and δ(G) ≥ 2, then χ2(G□H) ≤ max(χ2(G),x(H)). We show that for every two natural numbers m and n, m,n ≥ 2, χ2(Pm□Pn) = 4. Also, among other results it is shown that if 3|mn, then χ2(C m□Cn) = 3 and otherwise χ2(C m□Cn) = 4

    , Article Powder Technology ; Vol. 264, issue , September , 2014 , p. 466-476 Askarishahi, M ; Salehi, M. S ; Molaei Dehkordi, A ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    The effects of particle size on the solid flow pattern in gas-solid bubbling fluidized beds were investigated numerically using two-fluid model based on the kinetic theory of granular flow. In this regard, the set of governing equations was solved using finite volume method in two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. Glass bead particles with mean sizes of 880. μm, 500. μm, and 351. μm were fluidized by air flow at excess gas velocities of 0.2. m/s and 0.4. m/s. For particle diameters of 880 and 351. μm, the predicted characteristic times for solid dispersion were 0.14. s and 0.15. s, respectively, while characteristic times for solid diffusivity were 1.68. ms and 0.75. ms in the same... 

    Adaptive impedance control of UAVs interacting with environment using a robot manipulator

    , Article 2014 2nd RSI/ISM International Conference on Robotics and Mechatronics, ICRoM 2014 ; Oct , 2014 , p. 636-641 Sayyaadi, H ; Sharifi, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    In this paper, a nonlinear adaptive impedance controller is proposed for UAVs equipped with a robot manipulator that interacts with environment. In this adaptive controller, by considering the nonlinear dynamics model of the UAV plus the robot manipulator in Cartesian coordinates, all of model parameters are considered to be completely uncertain and their estimation is updated using an adaptation law. The objective of the proposed adaptive controller is the control of manipulator's end-effector impedance in Cartesian coordinates to have a stable physical interaction. The adjustable Cartesian impedance is a desired dynamical relationship between the end-effector motion in Cartesian...

    Abstract
    Flow hydrodynamics of laminar falling film of aqueous Li Br solution (Li Br - H2O) on a horizontal elliptical tube has been investigated in this research. The film velocity distribution and film thickness, namely, the flow characteristics are determined by solving analytically simultaneous simplified Navier - Stokes equations and continuity equation in polar and Cartesian coordinates. The analysis is based on steady state laminar flow of falling liquid film of Li Br - H2O on a horizontal elliptical tube in polar model and Cartesian model (CM), for cases in which traction on the film surface is considered negligible. Models are compared with each other in three cases of aspect ratios (Ar),...

    Abstract
    This paper illustrates how a 3 degrees of freedom, Cartesian robot can be given the task of playing ping-pong against a human player. We present an algorithm based on particle swarm optimization for the robot to calculate when and how to hit an approaching ball. Simulation results are shown to depict the effectiveness of our approach. Although emphasis is placed on sending the ball to a desired point on the ping pong table, it is shown that our method may be adjusted to meet the requirements of a variety of ball hitting strategies

    Abstract
    In this study, free vibration analysis of moderately thick symmetrically laminated general trapezoidal plates with various combinations of boundary conditions is investigated. The governing partial differential equations and boundary conditions for trapezoidal plate are obtained using first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) together with proper transformation from Cartesian system into trapezoidal coordinates. Generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method is then employed to obtain solutions for the governing equations. Results of the GDQ method are compared and validated with available results in the literature which show accuracy and fast rate of convergence of the method. Effect of...

    Abstract
    The concern over fossil energy shortage for the next decade leads to the extensive research activities in the area of enhanced oil recovery. Steam injection as one of well known EOR process has been used for about five decades to improve the oil production rate and recovery efficiency. Steam flooding is applied to heavy and extra-heavy oil reservoirs; however it could be used in light oil reservoirs in which water injection do not work effectively. Regardless of different performances, this method is an efficient EOR process for both heavy and light oil reservoirs. In this work, two separate numerical models were prepared to investigate steam flooding performance for the recovery of light...

    , Article Advanced Materials Research, 7 January 2012 through 8 January 2012 ; Volume 463-464 , January , 2012 , Pages 570-574 ; 10226680 (ISSN) ; 9783037853634 (ISBN) Ashrafi, H ; Bahadori, M. R ; Shariyat, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    In this paper, a 2D boundary element approach able to model viscoelastic functionally graded materials (FGM) is presented. A numerical implementation of the Somigliana identity for displacements is developed to solve 2D problems of exponentially graded elasticity. An FGM is an advanced material in which its composition changes gradually resulting in a corresponding change in properties of the material. The FGM concept can be applied to various materials for structural and functional uses. Our model needs only the Green's function of nonhomogeneous elastostatic problems with material properties that vary continuously along a given dimension. We consider the material properties to be an...

    Abstract
    We consider the game of cops and robber played on the Cartesian product of two trees. Assuming the players play perfectly, it is shown that if there are two cops in the game, then the length of the game (known as the 2-capture time of the graph) is equal to half the diameter of the graph. In particular, the 2-capture time of the m×n grid is proved to be ⌊m+n2⌋-1

    Abstract
    In this paper, free vibration analysis of thin symmetrically laminated skew plates with fully clamped edges is investigated. The governing differential equation for skew plate which is a fourth order partial differential equation (PDE) is obtained by transforming the differential equation in Cartesian coordinates into skew coordinates. Based on the multi-term extended Kantorovich method (MTEKM) an efficient and accurate approximate closed-form solution is presented for the governing PDE. Application of the MTEKM reduces the governing PDE to a dual set of ordinary differential equations. These sets of equations are then solved with infinite power series solution, in an iterative manner until...
