U-duct turbulent-flow computation with the ST-VMS method and isogeometric discretization

Aydinbakar, Levent; Takizawa, Kenji; Tezduyar, Tayfun E.; Matsuda, Daisaku (2021)

The U-duct turbulent flow is a known benchmark problem with the computational challenges of high Reynolds number, high curvature and strong flow dependence on the inflow profile. We use this benchmark problem to test and evaluate the Space–Time Variational Multiscale (ST-VMS) method with ST isogeometric discretization. A fully-developed flow field ...

U.S. Immigration Policy in the 21st Century, with Special Reference to Education: Examining the Crosscurrents of Nativist and Accommodationist Policymaking

Olivas, Michael A.; James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy (2013)

In the spring of 2012, the Republican candidates for their party’s presidential nomination argued over immigration policy, focusing especially on a topic that few had been aware of: whether or not the undocumented should be allowed to attend college and receive resident tuition. The topic receded, especially after Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who had borne ...

This paper seeks to explain the apparent paralysis that has affected efforts to address the very real immigration problems the United States faces. The answer appears to lie in the divergence between the politics and the economics of immigration that has prevented the Congress from adopting comprehensive reforms that would rationalize an immigration ...

U.S. LNG Exports: Truth and Consequence

Medlock, Kenneth B. III; James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy (2012)
