Large-Eddy Simulation on Plume Dispersion within Regular Arrays of Cubic Buildings

Lecture - September 6, 2010 (Monday) at 14.30
Dr. Hiromasa Nakayama

Dr. Hiromasa Nakayama is a researcher in the Japan Atomic Energy Agency, Ibaraki, Japan.

Abstract: There is a potential problem that hazardous and flammable materials are accidentally or intentionally released into the atmosphere, either within or close to populated urban areas. For the assessment of human health hazard from toxic substances, the existence of high concentration peaks in a plume should be considered.  »»»

Global instability of the rotating disk boundary layer

Lecture - May 19, 2010, 10:00 -11:00 Wednesday
Prof. Jonathan Healey, Keele University, Anglie

When a disk rotates at constant angular velocity in otherwise still fluid a boundary layer flow is established close to the disk. Obviously the local velocity of the disk increases with radius, but to a first approximation, this radial variation of the basic flow can be neglected to produce a "local" parallel-flow linear stability theory.  »»» 

High-order LES benchmarking of confined rotor-stator flows

Lecture - May 25, 2010 (Tuesday) 14:00
Sébastien Poncet, Laboratoire M2P2, UMR 6181 CNRS – Aix-Marseille Université

The highly accurate simulation of turbulent rotating flows within cavity is of interest for both engineering applications, such as designing rotational machinery, and fundamental research, as one of the simplest cases where the turbulent boundary layers are three-dimensional. Attempting to compute these flows using statistical approaches has had only partial success.  »»» 


Engineering Mechanics 2010

Conference - May 10–13, 2010, Svratka

Organizer: Institute of Thermomechanics AS CR

The objective of the 16th conference is to provide insight into the state of the art in solid mechanics, fluid dynamics and thermodynamics, namely in the context of the projects carried out in the Czech Republic. The conference will be held in the hotel ŽĎAS a.s., in the pictoresque scenery of the Žďárské mountains.  »»» 

Mechanical and ultrasonic testing of human skin in-vivo

Lecture - February 10, 2010 (Wednesday), 10.00–11.00
Benoît Emprin, Université de Franche-Comté, Besançon, France.

Resume: The objective of ERASMUS project was further development and testing the new noninvasive diagnostics method of human skin under variable mechanical loading in-vivo. The method is based on monitoring instantaneous changes of ultrasound propagation along the skin.  »»» 


Colloquium Dynamics of Machines 2010

Conference - Institute of Thermomechanics AS CR, Prague, February 2–3, 2010

The aim of the Colloquium is to facilitate the exchange of up to date information and knowledge among specialists in solid mechanics. The main attention will be focused on:  »»» 

Assessment of Physical Activity of a Human Body with Consideration of the Thermodynamics System

Lecture - February 9, 2010 (Tuesday), 10:00 -11:00
Dipl.-Ing. Philipp Rauschenberger, Institut für Thermodynamik der Luft- und Raumfahrt, Universität Stuttgart, Germany

Abstract: Model of the human cardiovascular system is applied for the quantitative evaluation of the human activity. The entropy production was used as a relevant quantity. The comparison with the ergonometric tests is shown.

Presenter: Dipl.-Ing. Philipp Rauschenberger
