Effective design of liquid fuel injection systems is a function of good understanding of liquid breakup mechanisms. A transient liquid breakup model is developed on the classical interfacial breakup theory by modifying the classical linear perturbation process to include time-dependent base and perturbed flow parameters. The non-isothermal condition on liquid jet instability and breakup is theoretically modelled; with the particular consideration of a spatially variation of surface tension along the liquid-gas interface. The model combines the classical interface hydrodynamic instability and breakup theory and heat-transfer through semi-infinite medium. Analytical liquid breakup model, which combines transient and non-isothermal effects on liquid jet breakup, is suggested. The suggested model could be simplified to the transient breakup model and the non-isothermal breakup model equivalents. A novel mechanistic model, which is based on a simple momentum balance between the injected jet and the aerodynamic drag force, is suggested for breakup length. A new model, which combines energy criterion and dual-timescale for turbulent shear in droplet dispersion, is suggested for droplet breakup criteria on the basis of critical Webber number. All developed models showed good predictions of available experimental data, and established empirical correlation, within the operational conditions of contemporary ICEs, specifically diesel engines. Continued research in these areas could benefit the development of the next generation of liquid fuel injectors and combustors – by accounting for transient effects and non-isothermal conditions in liquid jet breakup, and turbulent shear in droplet breakup.

Nós estudamos experimentalmente e teoricamente Efeitos Transientes em conjugação de Fase por Mistura Degenerada de Quatro ondas em cristais dopados com Cr POT. 3+. Estudamos os efeitos transientes na conjugação de fase em Al IND 2 O IND. 2 : Cr POT. 3+ (Rubi) e GdAl O IND. 3 Cr POT. 3+ (aluminato de gadolíneo) com um laser de Ar POT. + (em =514,5nm). Um novo modelo teórico é apresentado que explica razoavelmente os resultados experimentais cuja compreensão anterior pela literatura era devido somente pela parte absortiva do índice de refração[12] pois em cristais dopados com Cr POT. 3+ (Al IND. 2 O IND. 3: Cr POT. 3+ e GdAl O IND. 3 : Cr POT. 3+ a parte dispersiva do índice de refração não-linear n IND. 2 é pelo menos uma ordem de grandeza maior que a parte absortiva [15,28]. / We have studied experimentally and theoretically Transient Effects in Degenerate Four-Wave Mixing by Phase Conjugation in ion-doped crystals with Cf3+. We have studied transient effects in phase conjugation in Al2O3:Cf3+ (Ruby) and GdAlO3:Cr3+ Gadolinium Aluminate) with an Argon laser (at =514.5nm). A new theoretical model is presented that reasonably explains our experimental results whose understanding in previous papers was due to the imaginary part of the refraction index [12] because in crystals doped with cr3+ (Al2O3:Cr3+ and GdAIO3:Cr3+) the real part of the nonlinear refraction index n2 is at least one order of magnitude greater than the imaginary part [15,28].

Computer aided calculations are booming nowadays and thanks to more powerfull computers and sofistikated simulators we are able to modelling more and more complex problems in much more engineering domains. Also in power engineering are are simulators used more frequntly. They are used for or checking transmission lines and in testing different kinds of working states including fails.

Uma versão do POM - Princeton Ocean Model foi implementada no litoral norte do Estado de São Paulo, região compreendida entre as longitudes 46o e 44o30\'W e latitudes 24o30\' e 23o18\'S, abrangendo as cidades de Bertioga, São Sebastião, Caraguatatuba e Ubatuba, da linha da costa até aproximadamente a isóbata de 100 m, para estudos da resposta do mar ao vento. Para tanto foram realizados diferentes experimentos numéricos, combinando diferentes períodos e forçantes (de maré, vento e campos médios mensais de temperatura e salinidade). As respostas das simulações foram comparadas entre si, com estudos anteriores e a dados reais de diferentes fontes (marégrafo, correntômetro e altímetro). As simulações reproduziram razoavelmente os dados medidos, demostrando uma boa calibração do modelo. Foi observado o padrão de correntes predominantes para sudoeste, infuenciado pela Alta Subtropical do Atlântico Sul e seus ventos de nordeste, bem como eventuais efeitos de frentes frias com ventos de sudoeste e correntes para nordeste.Também se observou que as frentes frias mais intensas não ocorreram nos meses de inverno para os processamentos do ano de 2005, que apresentou várias situações anômalas, como por exemplo: um mês de Fevereiro com excepcional persistência de ventos do quadrante sul; ventos muito fracos em Março; Junho também com ventos fracos e praticamente ausência de frentes frias; e Setembro e Outubro com incursões muito freqüentes de frentes. Apesar das anomalias dos ventos e correspondentes campos de correntes, variações dos valores médios mensais de elevação da superfície do mar foram mais regulares, reproduzindo inclusive os valores medidos por altimetria, com um ciclo sazonal bem definido, o que provavelmente se deve ao fato das elevações da superfície do mar serem mais dependentes da circulação geral no Atlântico Sul e menos dependentes de ventos locais. Também foram analisados através da modelagem, os campos hidrodinâmicos causados por diversas combinações de condições de maré (típicas e extremas) e de efeitos meteorológicos (predominantes e extremos). O processamento final do modelo indicou que a circulação de maré é uma boa aproximação da circulação total, com exceção de períodos em que ocorrem eventos meteorológicos extremos. / A version of POM - Princeton Ocean Model was used in the northern coastal area of São Paulo State, longitudes 46o ? 44o30\'W and latitudes 24o30\' ? 23o18\'S, with the cities of Bertioga, São Sebastião, Caraguatatuba e Ubatuba in the domain, from the coast to the 100m isobath, to study the sea response to the wind forcing. For this purpose, several numerical experiment were performed, involving different periods and forcings (including tides, winds and monthly means fields of temperature and salinity). The simulations results were compared to other studies, with real observations from several sources methods (tide gauge, current meter and altimeter). The simulations reproduced reasonably the real datas, showing a good model calibration. Standard currents to the southeast, were observed, due to the South Atlantic Subtropical High influence and its northeast winds, as well as eventual northeast currents generated by cold fronts with southeast winds. It was also observed that the strongest cold fronts did not occur in winter\'s months in the model runs of the year of 2005, which presented several anomalies, as for example: February exceptional southern winds persistence; very weak winds in March; June practically without colds fronts and weak winds too; and September and October with frequent cold fronts incursions. Despite the wind anomalies and correspondent currents fields, the monthly means elevations of sea surface has regular pattern, reproducing the altimeter data, with clear seasonal cycle, probably because the sea surface elevations depend more on the general circulation in the South Atlantic and not on the local winds. Through the modeling hydrodynamical fields generated by differents tidal conditions (typical and extremes) and by several meteorological effect (standard and extremes) were analyzed. The last model processement indicate that tidal circulation is a god approximation of the total circulation, except when extreme meteorological events occur.
