Abstract
In this paper, the Immersed Moving Boundary-Lattice Boltzmann (IMB-LB) method is compared with the single relaxation time and multiple-relaxation-time versions of the Immersed Boundary-Lattice Boltzmann (IB-LB) method in terms of the amount of numerical velocity slip produced on solid boundaries. The comparisons are performed for both straight and curved boundaries based on the effects of thickness of virtual domain used in the IB method for the first time, and relaxation time parameter(s) of the LB method. For the straight boundaries, a shear flow problem is studied while for the curved boundaries, a falling circular cylinder in an infinite channel is investigated. First, sensitivities of...

, Article Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications ; Vol. 415, issue , 2014 , pp. 315-332 ; Manzari, M. T ; Sharif University of Technology
2014
Abstract
Body force modeling is studied in the Generalized Newtonian (GN) fluid flow simulation using a single relaxation time lattice Boltzmann (LB) method. First, in a shear thickening Poiseuille flow, the necessity for studying body force modeling in the LB method is explained. Then, a parametric unified framework is constructed for the first time which is composed of a parametric LB model and its associated macroscopic dual equations in both steady state and transient simulations. This unified framework is used to compare the macroscopic behavior of different forcing models. Besides, using this unified framework, a new forcing model for steady state simulations is devised. Finally, by solving a...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Aashuri, Hossein (Supervisor)
Abstract
Production of semi solid slurry and creating the globular alloy structure is possible in the ways of Electromagnetic stirring and Gas induced semi solid, which are used widely in industrial scale. Because of the weak magnetic field in the middle part of stirrer, this part is being emptied of melt. As a result, The porous graphite cone is used in this part in order to inject the gas bubbles.In this research, the semi solid A356 Aluminum alloy, is produced under different durations and stirring flux using a three phase Electromagnetic stirrer and injection of the Argon gas. Consequently the slurry was transferred to a mold and compacted by a drop weight. By investigating and analyzing the...

, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Taghizadeh Manzari, Mehrdad (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this study, bulk viscosity of suspensions is predicted using numerical simulation.The elaborated numerical method consists of the lattice Boltzmann (LB) method for fluid matrix simulation and the immersed boundary (IB) method for solid boundary implementation. In order to successfully implement the IB method in the frame-work of the LB method, two important challenges, which are body force modeling in the LB method and numerical velocity slip on solid boundaries, are discussed. As a first challenge, body force modeling in the LB method is studied by using a uni-fied framework which has been devised in this study. Using this unified framework,firstly, errors of different body force...
Testing of Workflow Engine Based Systems: A Model-Based Approach
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Mirian Hosseinabadi, Hassan (Supervisor)
Abstract
As the increased use of workflow engine based systems in various domains, quality assurance and testing them has become critical. The majority of these systems are designed and implemented by a workflow language, so testing these systems is highly dependent of workflow language. In this thesis the common domain of business processes is chosen. In this area, little researches have examined the implemened processes with the second version of BPMN modeling language, and most methods, examined another language called BPEL. For this reason and due to the increased use of BPMN language because of its unique characteristics, this study focuses on testing of systems implemented with this language....
The effect of pre-straining at intermediate temperatures on the mechanical behavior of high-bainite dual phase (HBDP) steels
, Article Materials Science and Engineering A ; Volume 543 , May , 2012 , Pages 224-230 ; 09215093 (ISSN) ; Haghshenas Fatmehsari, D ; Ekrami, A ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
High-bainite dual phase (HBDP) steels with 34. vol.% ferrite were subjected to tensile strains of 1%, 3%, and 5% at intermediate temperatures (150-450. °C). Mechanical behavior of pre-deformed steels was then investigated at room temperature. A maximum value for both yield stress and ultimate tensile strength was observed for pre-deformed steels. A minimum elongation was also found in the same pre-deformed specimens at the range of 250-350. °C. It was found that dynamic strain aging (DSA) plays the major role in mechanical properties of pre-strained HBDP steels. The DSA indicator parameter (DSAP) was introduced to evaluate DSA mechanism. Maxima of DSAP were likewise observed at the range of...

Abstract
High-energy milling technique was used to synthesize Al-10 wt.%AlN-nanostructured composite powder in a planetary ball-mill under argon atmosphere up to 25 h. To show the role of AlN particles, process was conducted for monolithic aluminum. The changes in powder characteristics were investigated by time. Microstructure of powders was studied after different milling times by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The morphological evolutions showed that relative equiaxed powder could be synthesized after 25 h milling. Structural analysis was performed by X-ray diffraction method (XRD) to determine the grain sizes and lattice strain. Furthermore, particle size analysis (PSA) revealed the...

Abstract
Different parts of this research are focused on developing FO membranes and improving their performance. For this purpose, thin film composite (TFC) membranes with fixed composition of polyethersulfone/polyamide (PES/PA) have been used to investigate the effect of nanocomposites containing transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) on their performance. The support layer in all cases is PES, which is prepared through the phase inversion process and does not contain any nanofillers. The modification process takes place in the polyamide layer by dispersing the desired nanoparticles in the aqueous monomer solution necessary to form this active layer.

Abstract
In this project a wide-band inductorless Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) has been designed using 0.18 micrometer CMOS technology.

Phase shifter circuits are designed in a way that have the most bandwidth and the less sensitivity to process characteristics changes and environmental conditions. The purpose of this research, is designing an active 6 bits phase shifter. The active phase shifter synthesizes the required phase using a phase interpolation process by adding quadrature phased input signals. It uses a new quadrature all-pass filter for quadrature signaling with a wide bandwidth. Also substitute structure has been suggested to this filter which is the main block in determining...

Abstract
This thesis deals with the front-End of an Integrated RFID Reader operated in 860MHz to 960MHz, which integrates a RF transceiver including PA, LNA and Mixer. In the receiver part, a power amplifier was fabricated and measured and in the transmitter part, LNA and Mixer were designed. There is a growing interest in utilizing CMOS technologies for RF power amplifiers (PAs). Although several advances have been made recently to enable full integration of PAs in CMOS, it is still among the most difficult challenges in achieving a truly single-chip radio system in CMOS. This is exacerbated by supply voltage reduction due to CMOS technology scaling and on-chip passive losses due to the conductive...

Abstract
Inert gold become catalytically active when dispersed in the form of nanoparticles. Isolated gold nanoparticles have demonstrated high catalytic activity for both oxidation and reduction reactions. In order to obtain high catalytic activity, gold nanoparticles are generally dispersed on support materials, among which oxides are commonly used. However, a substantial decrease in activity and selectivity of the immobilized catalysts is frequently observed due to the heterogeneous nature of these support materials in reaction media. In the course of our study on the metal-based catalysis for synthesis of organic compounds, we herein report that rod-shaped Au nanoparticles in aqua solution...
