The physical variable’s distribution in the entire flow field after the blast wave is shown in the figures. The effects of the ratio of the density of the solid inert particles to the initial gas density, mass concentration of particles, and the parameter of real gas effect on the physical variables, the peak pressure on blast wave and the damage radius of blast wave are investigated. It is found that the peak pressure on the blast wave and the damage radius of the blast wave both decrease with an increase in the value mass concentration of solid particles or non-idealness of the gas in the mixture. A comparison has also been made between the cylindrical and spherical geometries. It is found that the blast (shock) wave is more influential in the case of spherical geometry in contrast to that in the cylindrical geometry case. Also, the blast wave decay is due to an increase in the solid particle’s mass concentration or gas non-idealness parameter, and its strength increases with an increase in the ratio of the solid particles to the initial gas density.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":744,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, India Section A: Physical Sciences","volume":"93 2","pages":"279 - 292"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4533321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The influence on the structure of the shock-front due to the variation of different flow parameters such as coefficient of viscosity, Mach number, dust loading parameter, and the mass concentration of solid particles in the mixture is analysed. The thickness of the shock-front is calculated with varying different dust flow parameters within the shock transition region.

The mean uplift factor and the failure probability of the pipeline for a wide range of practical cases of soil spatial variability are provided as the design charts. It is found that for the smaller value of correlation distance, the deterministic uplift factor is always higher than the mean uplift factor; however, with the increase in the correlation distance, the difference between the deterministic uplift factor and the mean uplift factor reduces. The probability of failure of pipeline is found to be increasing with the reduction in the magnitude of correlation distance and factor of safety.

This study makes an effort to resolve the issue using two popular multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques, i.e. the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). In this study, we present a rank-based computation offloading algorithm for mapping of workflow tasks on three tiers of resources in HFCE. The five performance criteria taken into account are execution time, energy consumption, total cost, resource availability at a specific tier and the processing speed of resources. These performance criteria of the fog, cloud and end devices are evaluated by cascading two separate MCDM techniques. The AHP is used to calculate the priority weights between all the five criteria of evaluation. The TOPSIS method is used to rank the final fog, cloud and end devices, based on the weights of criteria yielded by AHP, and to calculate fuzzy values before offloading each corresponding task. Afterwards, a task can be offloaded to a corresponding resource tier based on the rank. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms conventional offloading algorithms in the HFCE by including performance and cost criteria while offloading decision making, especially in cases where the amount of tasks is large.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":744,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, India Section A: Physical Sciences","volume":"93 2","pages":"339 - 353"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4789113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
