These screens confine the flow through capillary action while allowing the water vapour transfer inside an innovative absorber technology. The complex menisci shape formed on the confinement grid level, where the surface tension forces are of first importance, are reconstructed by a volume-of-fluid model. A continuum surface force model is used to account for the surface tension force. A static contact angle is used to define the wall adhesion. A new algorithm, consisting to set an unique constant temperature at the liquid/vapour interface and to determine the evolution of heat transfer characteristics over the simulation domain, has been implemented and validated by analytical solution. A parametric study has been conducted to determine the effect of the geometry, the contact angle and the shape of the wire on the heat transfer.展开更多

We divide the sexually active population within three compartments (susceptible, CRF-1 infected and CRF-2 or CRF-12 infected) and study the dynamical behavior of this model. Then, we define a basic reproduction number of the CRF-2 or CRF-12 infected individuals R0 and shown that the CRF-2 or CRF-12 infected-free equilibrium is locally-asymptotically stable if R0 1 (thus the CRF-2 or CRF-12 infected invade in the population). Fur-thermore, we prove that under certain conditions on the parameters of the model the controllability of CRF-2 or CRF-12 infected with regard to the CRF-1 infected. Numerical simulations are given to illustrate the results.展开更多
