    Notes: Summary In a representative survey of 1000 elderly men and women aged over 65 years living in their own homes, assessments have been made of flexibility measured as range of shoulder abduction in addition to health status, psychological well-being and reported customary activity. The results for shoulder abduction were approximately normally distributed and the mean values (±1 standard deviation) were as follows: — in men aged 65–74 years, 129 (±14)° and aged over 74 years, 121 (±19)°; in women aged 65–74 years, 124 (±19)° and aged over 74 years, 114 (±22)°. These mean values are about 30° less than those accepted for younger subjects. Nearly half the distribution falls below the accepted threshold level of 120° for adequate function. There were significant effects of sex and age (P〈0.001); women had poorer flexibility and the reduction with age amounted to 10° per decade. Multiple regression analysis showed that the effect of age was accounted for in part by health, strength and customary use. The effects of use were most marked in those with some disability. This suggests that maintained or increased use could offset some of the age-related loss of the range of shoulder movement.

    Unstructured mesh procedures for the simulation of three-dimensional transient compressible inviscid flows with moving boundary components (1998)

    Notes: The solution of high-speed transient inviscid compressible flow problems in three dimensions is considered. Discretization of the spatial domain is accomplished by the use of tetrahedral elements generated by Delaunay triangulation with automatic point creation. Methods of adapting the mesh to allow for boundary movement are considered and a strategy for ensuring boundary recovery is proposed. An explicit multistage time-stepping algorithm is employed to advance the flow solution. A number of examples are included to illustrate the numerical performance of the proposed procedures. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    A general algorithm for compressible and incompressible flow - Part II. tests on the explicit form (1995)
    Chichester : Wiley-Blackwell
    International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids 20 (1995), S. 887-913

    Notes: The algorithm introduced in Part I of this paper is applied in its explicit form to a variety of problems in order to demonstrate its wide range of applicability and excellent performance. Examples range from nearly incompressible, viscous, flows through transonic applications to high speed flows with shocks. In most examples linear triangular elements are used in the finite element approximation, but some use of quadratic approximation, again in triangles, indicates satisfactory performance even in the case of severe shocks.

    TVD algorithms for the solution of the compressible Euler equations on unstructured meshes (1994)

    Notes: The Galerkin finite element method is used as the basis for the construction of schemes for the solution of the two-dimensional compressible Euler equations on unstructured triangular grids. The use of a side-based data structure readily allows for the construction of a local (structured) stencil and the incorporation of a high-resolution shock-capturing method formulated within the TVD concept. The essential features of the finite element side-based scheme and the ID TVD approach are described and their numerical implementation is discussed. The choice of limiters and the support for their computation are analysed and the solutions of some inviscid flows, obtained by advancing explicitly in time, are presented.

    Shock capturing viscosities for the general fluid mechanics algorithm (1998)

    Notes: The performance of different shock capturing viscosities has been examined using our general fluid mechanics algorithm. Four different schemes have been tested, both for viscous and inviscid compressible flow problems. Results show that the methods based on the second gradient of pressure give better performance in all situations. For instance, the method constructed from the nodal pressure values and consistent and lumped mass matrices is an excellent choice for inviscid problems. The method based on L2 projection is better than any other method in viscous flow computations. The residual based anisotropic method gives excellent performance in the supersonic range and gives better results in the hypersonic regime if a small amount of residual smoothing is used. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
