    Notes: Abstract We first recall the observational and theoretical facts that constitute the so-called 3He problem. We then review the chemical anomalies that could be related to the destruction of 3He in red giants stars. We show how a simple consistent mechanism can lead to the destruction of 3He in low mass stars and simultaneously account for the low 12C/13C ratios and low lithium abundances observed in giant stars of different populations. This process should both naturally account for the recent measurements of 3He/H in galactic HII regions and allow for high values of 3He observed in some planetary nebulae. We propose a simple statistical estimation of the fraction of stars that may be affected by this process.

    Notes: A series of triarylantimony dichrysanthemate compounds of the type Ar3Sb(O2CR)2 [Ar=C6H5, 4-CH3C6H4, 3-CH3C6H4, -CH3C6H4, 4-ClC6H4; R=4-ClC6H4CH(i-Pr), cis-Cl2C:CH trans-Cl2C:CH] have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra, 1H NMR spectra and mass spectra. Some activities of these compounds in plant growth regulation have been determined. Their results indicate that the derivatives of cis-dichlorochrysanthemic acid and trans-dichlorochrysanthemic acid significantly promote rooting of excised cucumber cotyledons at 10 ppm. An X ray structure determination has been carried out as follows for Ph3Sb(O2CCHCMe2CMe2)2: orthorhombic, space group Pbcn, Z=4, structure solution with 2385 independent reflections, R=0.035.

    Notes: An analytical procedure for the determination of phenyltin compounds in environmental sample waters was studied. Chromatography of mono-, di- tri-phenyltin (MPT, DPT and TPT) was performed on a reversed-phase C18 column with the mobile phase comprising methanol/10-2 M H3PO4 (80:20 v/v) at pH 3 and UV detection at 214 nm. To enhance the sensitivity of the detection system, the post-column reaction between morin or 3-hydroxyflavone and phenyltin compounds was formed before fluorescence detection. Several parameters affecting the fluorescence intensity were studied systematically, including the optimum condition for the post-column reagent that was also compatible with the eluent. The parameters concerned in this study were the pH, the percentage of Triton X-100, the ratio of fluorigenic reagent to phenyltin compounds and the amount of methanol in the eluent. Detection limits before the preconcentration process were in the region of 1.5 ppb for TPT and 150-250 ppb for MPT and DPT, respectively. Utilizing solid-phase extraction on a C18 cartridge for sample clean-up as well as preconcentration successfully reduced the detection limit of TPT to the level of ng dm-3 and can be applied to seawater analysis. Recovery in the range 95.0-98.0% was obtained by developing the optimum elution profile in the preconcentration step. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Two different cationic redox labels, i.e. a ferroceneammonium ion and a cobaltocenium ion, were covalently attached to two antiepileptics, phenytoin and phenobarbital, respectively. The two labeled drugs possess distinct standard redox potentials of 0.39 V for the phenytoin derivative and -0.92 V for phenobarbital derivative (vs Ag/AgCl, Cl- 0.05 M) at a carbon paste electrode. After preconcentration in a polyanionic Nafion-loaded carbon paste electrode the positively charged labeled phenytoin and phenobarbital derivatives could be simultaneously detected in concentration ranges which were relevant to the therapeutic ranges of the antiepileptics, with a view to a future dual-analyte immuno- assay. Square-wave voltammetry permitted detection limits of 5×10-8 M (for the phenytoin derivative) and 2.5×10-8 M (for the phenobarbital derivative) for non-simultaneous detection. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Several new and known organic tellurium compounds containing amino groups (i.e. ArTeBr3, Ar2Te2 and Ar2Te, where Ar= 4-NH2C6H4, 2-NH2C6H4, 4-CH3CONHC6H4 or 2-NH2-5-NO2-C6H3) were prepared by reacting aminoarylmercury chlorides with tellurium tetrabromide in glacial acetic acid. Bis(4-aminophenyl) telluride and bis(2-amino-5-nitrophenyl) telluride were polymerized with aromatic and aliphatic diacid chlorides (i.e. terephthaloyl chloride and sebacoyl chloride), as well as with toluene di-isocyanate, leading to new organic tellurium polyamides and polyurea. All organic tellurium compounds and their condensation polymers were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, 1H and 13C NMR, and mass spectroscopy. The thermal stabilities of the resulting polymers were determined by thermogravimetric and derivative thermogravimetric techniques. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Phenyltin compounds are known to be biologically active. Their chemical structure suggests that they are likely to interact with the lipid fraction of cell membranes. Using fluorescence and NMR techniques, the effect of phenyltin compounds on selected regions of model lipid bilayers formed from phosphatidylcholine was studied. The polarization of N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl) dipalmitoyl-L-phosphatidylethanolamine and desorption of praseodymium ions was used to probe the polar region, whereas the polarization of 1 - (4 - trimethylammoniumphenyl) - 6 - phenyl - 1,3,5-hexatriene p-toluenesulfonate measured the hydrophobic core of the membrane. In addition, changes in the N-(5-fluoresceinthiocarbanoly)dipalmitoyl - L - α - phosphatidyl - ethanolamine fluorescence intensity indicated the amount of charge introduced by organotin compounds to the membrane surface. There were no relevant changes of measured parameters when tetraphenyltin was introduced to the vesicle suspension. Diphenyltin chloride causes changes of the hydrophobic region, whereas the triphenyltin chloride seems to adsorb in the headgroup region of the lipid bilayer. When the hemolytic activity of phenyltin compounds was measured, triphenyltin chloride was the most effective whereas diphenyltin chloride was much less effective. Tetraphenyltin causes little damage. Based on the presented data, a correlation between activity of those compounds to hemolysis (and toxicity) and the location of the compound within the lipid bilayer could be proposed. In order to inflict damage on the plasma membrane, the compound has to penetrate the lipid bilayer. Tetraphenyltin does not partition into the lipid fraction; therefore its destructive effect is negligible. The partition of the compound into the lipid phase is not sufficient enough, by itself, to change the structure of the lipid bilayer to a biologically relevant degree. The hemolytic potency seems to be dependent on the location of the compound within the lipid bilayer. Triphenyltin chloride which adsorbs on the surface of the membrane, causes a high level of hemolysis, whereas diphenyltin chloride, which penetrates much deeper, seems to have only limited potency. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Acute toxicity (96 h) and bioconcentration experiments of tributyltin chloride (TBT) in tilapia were conducted in an aqueous solution with salinity of 15‰, and a toxicity mechanism has been suggested. The 96-h LC50 was 3.80 μg Sn l-1. Bioconcentration factors in different tissues increased in the order muscle〈gill〈viscera. Studies on the metabolism of TBT showed that it can be easily degraded to DBT (dibutyltin) in these tissues. Further degradation of DBT to MBT (monobutyltin) was much more difficult. A mesocosm was used for the first time to study the toxicity of TBT in tilapia. The result demonstrated that the TBT bioconcentration curve changed with the initial concentrations of TBT but the order of bioconcentration in the tissues did not change. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition (LCVD) was utilized to produce SnO2 films from SnBr4 plus air, O2 or N2O. SnO2 films were successfully generated using either 222 or 308 nm laser pulses but there was evidence for film contamination when using less than 60 mJ/pulse laser energies at 222 nm. Films were characterized using ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy; the spectra of films with impurities resembled the spectrum of SnBr4. AFM images were obtained which indicated that this LCVD route produced small and fairly uniform SnO2 grains which were 50-100 nm in size. Multiphoton ionization spectroscopy was used to verify that the dissociation of a film dopant precursor, copper(II) acetate, produced gas-phase copper atoms under conditions similar to those used in film deposition experiments. The deposition of SnO2 from SnBr4 plus an oxidant was found to be more efficient than from di-n-butyl tin diacetate but films produced via this new LCVD route, including those doped with copper, were found to be much less sensitive in preliminary gas-sensing screening. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Pseudoisocyanine (PIC) was adsorbed on colloidal silver halide nanoparticles where it formed aggregates (J-aggregates). The nanoparticles were prepared using a surfactant (AOT)/n-heptane/water microemulsion. The molecules of pseudoisocyanine replaced the molecules of surfactant (AOT) on the surface of the nanoparticles and caused an instability of the silver bromide dispersion. The stability could be improved by two methods: either by using an adsorption inhibitor (e.g. p-xylene) or by adding another surfactant (CTAB). The adsorption has also been carried out at low temperature: the stability of the particles was then improved, and the J-aggregates are smaller. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The influence of molecular adsorbate layers on surface plasmon excitation in small supported metal particles has been investigated and exploited to study adsorption reactions on their surfaces. For this purpose sodium nanoclusters on quartz and LiF substrates served as model systems. Their optical transmission spectra are dominated by two maxima which are due to the excitation of surface plasmon resonances in the direction of the long and short axes of the oblate particles. By recording the spectra under ultrahigh-vacuum conditions and, subsequently, after exposure to gases such as O2, N2O, CO2, H2 and N2, changes in the optical spectra can be identified if the clusters are covered by as little as half a molecular monolayer. Depending on the adsorbed molecules, different modifications of the maximum position, the width and the amplitude of the surface plasmon resonances are observed. The results of a series of measurements together with calculations using the quasi-static approximation indicate that the variations in the spectra allow one to distinguish between physisorption and chemisorption, i.e. to characterize the strength of the chemical bond. In addition, diffusion of the molecules into the bulk of the particles can be detected. Particularly interesting is the observation that the clusters can experience a change in their shape if gases such as O2 or CO2 react with their surface. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: An investigation into the microstructural properties of CoxAg1 - x films, grown by pulsed laser deposition, as a function of deposition and post-deposition annealing temperature is reported. Surface morphology and microstructure were investigated by XPS, SEM and TEM measurements. Magnetic measurements were used to gain further information on particle size distributions through the analysis of the temperature dependence of the irreversible magnetization. Depending on cobalt content, deposition and post-deposition annealing temperature, the maximum of the cobalt grains diameter distribution was estimated to be in the range 2-6 nm. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The dynamical behavior of γ-Fe2O3 particles dispersed in a polymer have been investigated by a.c. susceptibility and Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements. The effect of interparticle interactions on the relaxation time is satisfactorily described by a superparamagnetic model where the dipolar energy is determined by a statistical calculation for a disordered arrangement of particles with volume distribution and easy axes in random orientations. The results indicate that the single particle anisotropy energy is mainly determined by surface anisotropy and that the energy barrier increases with the interaction strength. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Ordered porous inorganic compounds can now be synthesized with pore sizes between 0.3 nm and several tens of nanometers. The sharp pore size distribution of such materials and the ordered pore arrangement open possibilities for using them to organize matter on the nanometer scale. This overview highlights different aspects of this topic, using four selected examples: the spatial organization of molecules with high molecular hyperpolarizability to create a frequency-doubling element; the encapsulation of a laser dye which results in a new class of solid-state lasers; the encapsulation of small metal clusters in mesoporous ordered oxides; and the encapsulation of semiconductor clusters in such oxides. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Samples of the edible mushroom Laccaria amethystina, which is known to accumulate arsenic, were collected from two uncontaminated beech forests and an arsenic-contaminated one in Denmark. The total arsenic concentration was 23 and 77 μg  As g-1 (dry weight) in the two uncontaminated samples and 1420 μg As g-1 in the contaminated sample. The arsenic species were liberated from the samples using focused microwave-assisted extraction, and were separated and detected by anion- and cation-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography with an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer as arsenic-selective detector. Dimethylarsinic acid accounted for 68-74%, methylarsonic acid for 0.3-2.9%, trimethylarsine oxide for 0.6-2.0% and arsenic acid for 0.1-6.1% of the total arsenic. The unextractable fraction of arsenic ranged between 15 and 32%. The results also showed that when growing in the highly arsenate-contaminated soil (500-800 μg As g-1) the mushrooms or their associated bacteria were able to biosynthesize dimethylarsinic acid from arsinic acid in the soil. Furthermore, arsenobetaine and trimethylarsine oxide were detected for the first time in Laccaria amethystina. Additionally, unidentified arsenic species were detected in the mushroom. The finding of arsenobetaine and trimethylarsine oxide in low amounts in the mushrooms showed that synthesis of this arsenical in nature is not restricted to marine biota. In order to minimize the toxicological risk of arsenic to humans it is recommended not to consume Laccaria amethystina mushrooms collected from the highly contaminated soil, because of a genotoxic effect of dimethylarsinic acid observed at high doses in animal experiments. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.No Abstract.

    Notes: Clusters of iron produced in a laser vaporization source have been characterized with time-of-flight spectra and deposited on different substrates for production of films of varying thickness. The magnetic properties of these films with thicknesses of 60 and 120 nm were investigated using an alternating gradient magnetometer. The films exhibit mono-domain behavior from a broad size distribution which has been confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. Films were also investigated by Mössbauer spectroscopy, which showed fast relaxation in the particles at room temperature. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The complexes formed between the diorganotin(IV) moieties, R2Sn(IV), and the ligand 2-mercaptopyrimidine, (H)SPym, were investigated. Complexes R2SnHal(SPym) and R2Sn(SPym)2 [R = Me, iPr, nBu, iBu, tBu, cyclohexyl(Cy), Ph] were synthesized, and characterized by elemental analysis. In the solid state, chelation of SPym through S and N donors was established by IR spectroscopy, and the nature of the environment of tin centers was investigated by 119Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy. From the dynamics of 119Sn nuclei determined by variable-temperature measurements on representative compounds [Me2SnCl(SPym) and Cy2SnBr(SPym)], as well as by point-charge model treatment of nuclear quadrupole splitting parameters, it was inferred that Me2SnCl-­(SPym) may assume a trans-Me2 octahedral coordination geometry around tin in a monodimensional polymer, or a monomeric trigonal-bipyramidal structure (distorted). The latter type of structure was assigned to the other R2SnHal(SPym) species, while R2Sn(SPym)2 complexes assume a trans-octahedral, or skew trapezoidal, tin environment. In CHCl3-CDCl3 solutions, monomeric species occur (according to vapor-pressure osmometry), where 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic parameters of SPym indicate the persistence of Sn chelation by S and N donor atoms. The Me2SnCl(SPym) species assume trigonal-bipyramidal structures with a chelating SPym ligand, in CDCl3 and C2H5OH solutions, according to the coupling constants 1J(119Sn,13C), as well as IR and 119Sn Mössbauer spectroscopic data. 119Sn NMR parameters fully correspond with data for the homologous complexes with 2-mercaptopyridine.

    Notes: p-Isopropylbenzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (p-is.TSCN) (1) reacts with [Pt(µ-Cl)(η3-C4H7)]2 to form a dinuclear [Pt(µ-Cl)(p-is.TSCN)]2 complex (2) and a cyclometallated cluster [Pt(p-is.TSCN)]4 (3). Biological testing of these complexes against HL-60 and U-937 human leukemic cells suggest that complexes 2 and 3 may be endowed with important cytotoxic activity properties since they exhibit IC50 values (50% inhibition of cell growth) in the micromolar range, as does the clinically used drug cisplatin (cis-DDP). Analysis of the interaction of compounds 2 and 3 with DNA indicates that the kinetics of DNA platination due to compounds 2 and 3 is faster than that of cisplatin and that after 24 h of incubation most of the platinum centers are bound to DNA. Thus, it is likely that the cytotoxic activity displayed by compounds 2 and 3 may be correlated with their high level of DNA platination. Copyright © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The method validation for the speciation of five arsenic species in urine samples by liquid chromatography hyphenated to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry is described. Arsenic species which are identified and quantified in urine samples are the anions of arsenic(III), arsenic(V), monomethylarsonic acid and dimethylarsinic acid, and the cationic arsenobetaine. Detection limits were obtained in the range 0.3-0.4 μg As l-1 while the repeatability was in the range 3-4% (RSD) for concentrations above five times the detection limit. Urine samples could be analysed directly after a ten-fold dilution step. Arsenic compound concentrations were determined in urine samples from a volunteer who consumed a portion of tuna fish high in arsenobetaine. It was found that arsenobetaine was excreted rapidly via the urine with maximum concentrations after 12 h. Nearly complete arsenobetaine excretion was reached after 48 h. Background levels of arsenic compounds were determined in 61 urine samples from non-exposed inhabitants of The Netherlands. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The effects of freshwater sediment components such as kaolinite, montmorillonite and birnessite (δ-MnO2) on the biomethylation of mercury(II) in a synthetic growth medium (M-IIY) were assessed. Additions of kaolinite or montmorillonite to media containing mercuriC nitrate [Hg(NO3)2; 12 μg Hg ml-1] had no significant effect on either bacterial growth or the production of methylmercury (CH3Hg+). However, whereas the addition of birnessite resulted in only a small (ca 4%) increase in bacterial growth, it also produced a significant decrease (ca 50%) in the production of CH3Hg+. Further, it was demonstrated that, with the exception of kaolinite, adsorption of mercury(II) onto the sediment components before they were added to the M-IIY medium decreased its bioavailability, i.e., the amounts of CH3Hg+ produced from the adsorbed mercury(II) were significantly lower than those produced from equivalent concentrations of Hg(NO3)2 in the absence of the mineral colloids. In the case of montmorillonite, CH3Hg+ production was decreased by 21% relative to the control system. Most striking was the case of birnessite, in which no CH3Hg+ was detected after a 25 h incubation period and only very small quantities of CH3Hg+ (3-7 ng l-1) were present in the medium after 336 h. These data demonstrate that mineral colloids common in freshwater sediments significantly influence the extent of biomethylation of mercury(II) adsorbed on their surfaces. Birnessite, in particular, is a very effective inhibitor of the biomethylation of surface-bound mercury(II). Therefore, it may be possible to reduce the severity of mercury pollution in some aquatic environments by adding a reactive manganese oxide, such as birnessite, to the system and thereby to inhibit the transformation (methylation) of inorganic mercury(II) into the much more toxic CH3Hg+ species. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The synthesis of carbohydrate surfactants bearing carbosilane, silane, polysilane and non-permethylated siloxane moieties is described. These surfactants consist of three structural elements: (1) a silicon-containing moiety, (2) a spacer and (3) a carbohydrate unit. Additionally two different types of mixed structures have been synthesized: (a) single-chained carbosilane-siloxane surfactants and (b) double-chained combinations of carbo- silanes, silanes and siloxanes. The wetting behaviour of the key intermediates, the allyl glycidyl derivatives, has been investigated by static surface tension (γlv, σ) and wetting tension (γsv-γsl, α) measurements on a non-polar perfluorinated surface (FEP® plate). The contact angles obtained for these pure liquids are not a linear function of the surface tension but depend on the polarity of the substructures. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The growth response of the alga Chlorella kessleri and the euglenoid Euglena gracilis has been studied as a model system to determine the effects of a tin salt (SnCl4·5H2O) and of some organotin (OT) derivatives, namely tetrabutyltin (TeBT), tributyltin (TBT) and tributyltin oxide (TBTO). Abiotic degradation was studied as well. Cells were exposed to a toxicity series (0-50 μg/mL-1) for the four chemicals in seven-day bioassays. Both microorganisms are tolerant of the inorganic salt, but growth inhibition was significant for all OT compounds, and especially large for TBT and TBTO. Although C. kessleri and E. gracilis are known to be tolerant towards metals and organic chemicals, the present results show that both are sensitive to organotin compounds: the inhibition of the growth was greater for C. kessleri. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Amorphous chromium carbonitride coatings with a low nitrogen content (3-8 at%) were deposited by low-pressure MOCVD in the temperature range 573-793 K using Cr(NEt2)4 as single-source precursor. This poor nitrogen incorporation is in agreement with the trends predicted by thermochemical calculations. XPS data, resistivity measurements and annealing experiments suggest that the films grown at 573 K are contaminated by organic species due to incomplete elimination of the ligands. The films deposited at higher temperature crystallize upon annealing at 873 K to form an orthorhombic ternary chromium carbonitride phase. The major volatile by-products of the MOCVD reaction were analyzed by 1H and 13C NMR. Their amount and the quasi-equimolar EtN=CHMe/HNEt2 ratio suggest that most of the NEt2 ligands are removed by a stepwise mechanism which probably occurs with other diethylamido complexes of transition metals when they are used as single-source precursors in MOCVD. The incorporation of the metalloid elements in the film is discussed in comparison with recent literature data. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Conventional MOCVD techniques require molecules displaying volatility and constant vapor pressure. Metal oxide precursors, i.e., β-diketonates, or classical or functionalized metal alkoxides are mostly solids. The various approaches used to tailor volatility are discussed with barium derivatives as an example. The relationships between sublimation temperature and molecular weight suggest that volatility can be optimized on the basis of molecular weight.   Aerosol-assisted CVD (AACVD) can use a larger range of precursors since volatility is no longer crucial. The solvent is an undesired ballast in a CVD process. High solubility of the precursors in the selected solvent is thus desirable. ‘Stability’ here includes the absence of precipitation which would change the stoichiometry of the feed solution for multicomponent oxides. Precipitation is often promoted by hydrolysis; stability toward moisture is thus desirable. The use of mixtures of precursors based on different ligands (β-diketonates, β-ketoesterates, alkoxides) can lead to ligand exchange reactions giving homometallic species, sometimes of low solubility, or mixed-metal species by self-assembly, thus improving solubility and stability toward moisture. These aspects are illustrated in compositions related to high-Tc superconductors. Novel copper, yttrium, cerum(IV), barium-copper, yttrium-copper and praseodynium-copper species are reported. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The dissolution of tin metal by iodomethane-water mixtures has been studied and the influence of several parameters on both the extent and rate of reaction investigated. The rate-determining step shows a pseudo-first-order dependence on iodomethane (CH3I). The reaction is strongly dependent upon both water and oxygen. The activation energy of only 16 kJ mol-1 is interpreted in terms of a facile bond-breaking and making process at the metal surface, generating methyltin species. Analysis by hydride generation and GC-AA confirmed the formation of methylated species ranging from monomethyl- to tetramethyl-tin; inorganic tin (from hydrolysis) was the major form, however. These findings are similar to those made earlier by us on the solubilization of arsenic from GaAs by alkyl halide-water mixtures, and a similar multi-step scheme is proposed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Cesium chloride- and rubidium chloride-promoted Rochow contact masses based on both technical-grade and highly pure silicon have been investigated in the Rochow reaction and by REM/EDX surface analysis. The alkali-salt promoters seem to act analogously to the well-known zinc promoter, by localizing the reaction to distinct reactive areas and keeping free the surface area for the reaction, probably for the formation of catalytically active Cu-Si surface species. The alkali salts exhibited their promoting action only in combination with the impurities within the technical-grade silicon. Otherwise, they acted as blocking poisons. The promoter action of alkali chlorides in contact masses based on technical-grade silicon is possibly connected with the formation of salt melts, containing alkali chlorides and impurities. These melts, analogously to zinc chloride, could dissolve oxidic impurities from the silicon surface which otherwise would enhance the blocking of potentially active surface by extensive copper deposition. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A new method of synthesis of acetic acid in water has been developed from the carboxylation of methane with carbon monoxide using lanthanide catalysts. Ytterbium(III) acetate has been found to be the most active catalyst among the compounds of the lanthanide series in the carboxylation reaction of methane with carbon monoxide. Sodium hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide was used as the oxidant in this reaction. Sodium hypochlorite exhibited more favorable activity than hydrogen peroxide in the reaction. The catalytic activity was improved by the addition of transition-metal salts such as manganese(II) acetate. The best result has been found at a ratio of manganese(II) acetate to ytterbium(III) acetate of 1:10. The optimum reaction conditions (reaction temperature, 40 °C; time, 20 h; methane, 20 atm; carbon monoxide, 5 atm) have been obtained. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: We report first measurements of the magnetization reversal of monodisperse 30 nm and 50 nm ferromagnetic Fe3O4 particles. These particles are produced in a carrier gas as an aerosol by spray pyrolysis. After production and size selection, they are precipitated on a silicon chip with a niobium SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) incorporated on its surface. By changing a magnetic field in the plane of the SQUID, we can measure the magnetization reversal of the particles by the flux they induce into the SQUID. The angular dependence of this reversal is determined by rotating the magnetic field around the SQUID. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images have confirmed the particle size and revealed the position of the collected particles. If the particle concentration is too high, we cannot detect changes in the magnetic moment of a single particle, but measure the magnetic properties of the whole assembly. If only a few particles are found on the SQUID loop the angular dependence of the magnetic reversal of a single particle can be measured; this result is compared with a simple model of magnetization reversal. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Diorganotin(IV) dichloride complexes of the type R2SnCl2·L (R = methyl, ethyl, vinyl, t-butyl, n-butyl or phenyl; L = N-(2-pyridylmethylene)arylamine) have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of IR, NMR and 119Sn Mössbauer studies. Investigation of the complexes indicated that N-(2-pyridylmethylene)arylamines form distorted trans-octahedral complexes with R2SnCl2 similar to the well-known R2SnCl2·L. Cytogenetic toxicology testing has been performed for Et2SnCl2·L4 [L4 = N-(2-pyridylmethylene)-4-toluidine] in mouse bone-marrow cells in vivo since such testing is a regulatory requirement before new drugs are released. This tin compound induced delay in cell-cycle kinetics and sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) significantly. The effect of Et2SnCl2·L4 was greater when endogenous glutathione (GSH) was depleted by buthionine sulphoximine (BSO). It seems that Et2SnCl2·L4 induces SCEs due to formation of adduct by binding on DNA which could interfere in DNA synthesis and cause delay in cell proliferation. Depletion of GSH could reduce the shielding effect of GSH on chromatin and allows more Et2SnCl2·L4 to bind on DNA. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The ferrocene/ferricenium redox system plays a significant role in biological oxidation, reduction and free-radical reactions. Of particular interest are the findings of earlier investigations which showed certain water-soluble ferricenium salts to possess appreciable antiproliferative activity against various murine tumor lines and a xenografted human colorectal adenocarcinoma. Solubility in water, a prerequisite for efficacious transport and dissipation in central circulation, was then proposed as a principal requirement for the ferrocene complex system to exert antineoplastic activity irrespective of the oxidation state in which it is administered. In order to shed more light on this question, we decided to investigate the antiproliferative properties of polymer-ferrocene conjugates containing the metal complex in the non-oxidized (ferrocene) form while fulfilling the critical requirement of water solubility. To this end, five selected, water-soluble conjugates, synthesized by reversible coupling of 4-ferrocenylbutanoic acid to variously structured polyaspartamides featuring pendant primary amino groups as coupling sites, were tested in vitro against cultured HeLa cells at concentrations up to 50 µg Fe ml-1. Optimal antiproliferative activities, with IC50 in the range of 2-7 µg Fe ml-1, were determined for three compounds possessing tertiary-amine functions susceptible to protonation at physiological pH. Lower activities (IC50 = 45-60 µg Fe ml-1) were demonstrated for two poly(ethylene oxide)-containing conjugates. However, no reasonable structure-performance relationships can be derived at this stage from the small number of compounds tested. Copyright © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The potential of coupling anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography, hydride generation and atomic fluorescence spectrometry (HPLC-HG-AFS) for arsenic speciation is considered. The effects of hydrochloric acid and sodium tetrahydroborate concentrations on signal-to-background ratio, as well as argon and hydrogen flow rates, were investigated. Detection limits for arsenite, dimethylarsinic acid (DMA), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA) and arsenate were 0.17, 0.45, 0.30 and 0.38 μg l-1, respectively, using a 20-μl loop. Linearity ranges were 0.1-500 ng for As(III) and MMA (as arsenic), and 0.1-800 ng for DMA and As(V) (as arsenic). Arsenobetaine (AsB) was also determined by introducing an on-line photo-oxidation step after the chromatographic separation. In this case the limits of detection and linear ranges for the different species studied were similar to the values obtained previously for As(V). The technique was tested with a human urine reference material and a volunteer's sample. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The asymmetric alkylation with diethylzinc of five heterocyclic aldehydes and benzaldehyde (for comparison) has been studied in the presence of two optically active amino alcohols: (S)-2-amino-1-butanol (AB) and (1S,2R)-N,N-dibutylnorephedrine (DBNE). A number of chiral (hetero)aromatic secondary alcohols were synthesized in high yields (95-98%) with enantioselectivity up to 92% enantiomeric excess (ee) in the presence of DBNE catalyst. Optically active thienyl and 4-pyridyl derivatives were prepared for the first time by catalytic asymmetric alkylation. The influence of the amount of DBNE on the enantioselectivity was investigated. In contrast to benzaldehyde, 2-furan- and 2-thiophene-carbaldehydes, in the case of 3- and 4-pyridinecarbaldehydes the ee values depend directly on the catalyst concentration. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Total arsenic concentrations and the concentrations of individual arsenic compounds were determined in liver samples of pinnipeds [nine ringed seals (Phoca hispida), one bearded seal (Erginathus barbatus)] and cetaceans [two pilot whales (Globicephalus melas), one beluga whale (Deliphinapterus leucus)]. Total arsenic concentrations ranged from 0.167 to 2.40 mg As kg-1 wet mass. The arsenic compounds extracted from the liver samples with a methanol/water mixture (9:1, v/v) were identified and quantified by anion- and cation-exchange chromatography. An ICP-MS equipped with a hydraulic high-pressure nebulizer served as the arsenic-specific detector. Arsenobetaine (0.052-1.67 mg As kg-1 wet mass) was the predominant arsenic compound in all the liver samples. Arsenocholine was present in all livers (0.005-0.044 mg As kg-1 wet mass). The tetramethylarsonium cation was detected in all pinnipeds (〈0.009 to 0.043 mg As kg-1) but not in any of the cetaceans. The concentration of dimethylarsinic acid ranged from 〈 0.001 to 0.109 mg As kg-1 wet mass. Most of the concentrations for methylarsonic acid (〈0.001 to 0.025 mg As kg-1 wet mass) were below the detection limit. Arsenous acid and arsenic acid concentrations were below the detection limit of the method (0.001 mg As kg-1). An unknown arsenic compound was present in all liver samples at concentrations from 0.002-0.027 mg As kg-1. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Bioconcentration of triphenyltin (TPT) and tributyltin (TBT) was studied in the freshwater organisms Daphnia magna (zooplankton), Chironomus riparius (sediment organism) and Thymallus thymallus (fish yolk-sac larvae). TPT bioconcentration factors (BCFs) at pH 8 were highest for Thymallus (2200), followed by Chironomus (680) and Daphnia (190). The differences could not be fully explained by different total lipid contents. Metabolism and lower bioconcentration were observed for TBT in Chironomus. The BCFs of both TBT and TPT were higher at pH 8 than at pH 5, but the difference was much less pronounced than predicted by the octanol-water partition model. This suggests that, besides the hydroxide species (TBTOH and TPTOH), the cations (TBT+ and TPT+) are also taken up by the organisms to some extent and that the octanol-water partition model underestimates the uptake of the charged species. Low concentrations of humic substances (HS) led to small reduction in the bioconcentration of TPT in Daphnia and Thymallus, and a significant reduction occurred at relatively high concentrations of HS (〉10 mg C l-1). The results of this study provide an important basis for future investigations aiming at a better understanding of the bioavailability and fate of TBT and TPT in freshwater ecosystems. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Cultures of the fungus Scopulariopsis brevicaulis were grown in antimony-rich media. Although volatile compounds of other elements were readily detected in the culture headspace, volatile antimony compounds were formed irreproducibly and at only ultratrace levels. In order to monitor the media for nonvolatile methylantimony compounds, a method of sample preparation was developed, based on solid-phase extraction. This enabled the separation of large quantities of soluble inorganic antimony species from trace amounts of organoantimony compounds before speciation by HG-GC-AAS. By this methodology methylated antimony compounds were detected at concentrations of 0.8- 7.1 µg Sbl-1 in all media in which S. brevicaulis was grown in the presence of antimony(III) compounds. These methylantimony species were not detected in any of the nonliving or medium-only controls. Methylated compounds were not detected where S. brevicaulis was grown in the presence of antimony(V) compounds. This is the first study to show that antimony(III) compounds are biomethylated by S. brevicaulis under aerobic-only growth conditions. Copyright © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The synthesis, by two different reaction pathways, of boron-modified polysilylcarbodi-imides of general type {B[C2H4Si(R)NCN]3}n (R =­singly bonded organic ligand) and the plastic-forming and the thermal behavior of these polymers are described. Compounds {B[C2H4Si(R)NCN]3}n [2a, R = H; 2b, R = CH3; 2c, R = (NCN)0.5] can be obtained by treatment of the vinyl-substituted polysilylcarbodi-imides [(H2C=CH)(R)SiNCN]n [1a, R = H; 1b, R = CH3; 1c, R = (NCN)0.5] with borane dimethylsulfide BH3·S(CH3)2. The polysilylcarbodi-imides 1a-1c themselves are accessible via the reaction of vinyl-substituted chlorosilanes (H2C=CH)-­(R)SiCl2 with cyanamide H2N-C≡N in the presence of pyridine or by a non-oxide sol-gel process of vinylated chlorosilanes and bis(trimethylsilyl)carbodi-imide, (H3C)3SiN=C=NSi(CH3)3. In the second method for the synthesis of 2a-2c, hydroboration of vinyl-substituted chlorosilanes (H2C=CH)(R)SiCl2 with borane dimethylsulfide, borane trimethylamide or borane triethylamide to yield the tris[(chlorosilyl)ethyl]boranes B[C2H4Si(R)Cl2]3 (3a, R = H; 3b, R = CH3; 3c, R = Cl) is followed by treatment of the as-obtained compounds with bis(trimethylsilyl)carbodi-imide, which results in the formation of the hydroborated polysilylcarbodi-imides 2a-2c. The thermogravimetric behavior of the polymers 1a-1c and 2a-2c up to 2300°C is reported. It is shown that boron-modified polysilylcarbodi-imides are suitable precursors for the preparation of dense bulk ceramics. Therefore, the preparation of green bodies of the hydroborated polysilylcarbodi-imides 2a-2c by plastic forming (PF) is described. A series of experiments points to the fact that the microstructure of the as-obtained ceramic monoliths obtained by subsequent thermolysis of the plastic-formed green bodies is strongly influenced by the conditions during plastic forming. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Polymer nanocomposites, especially polymer-layered silicate (PLS) nanocomposites, represent a radical alternative to conventionally (macroscopically) filled polymers. Because of their nanometer-size dispersion, the nanocomposites exhibit markedly improved properties when compared with the pure polymers or conventional composites. These include increased modulus and strength, decreased gas permeability, increased solvent and heat resistance and decreased flammability. In addition to their potential applications, PLS nanocomposites are also unique model systems to study the structure and dynamics of polymers in confined environments. Using both delaminated and intercalated hybrids, the statics and dynamics of polymers confined over distances ranging from the radius of gyration of the polymer to the statistical segment length of the chains can be studied. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Cubic silsesquioxanes, [RSiO1.5]x, potentially offer access to organic/inorganic hybrids wherein the exact shape, size and mechanical properties of the inorganic component are perfectly defined. Furthermore, by tailoring the organic functionality bound to silicon, the inorganic/organic interface can also be perfectly defined. Finally, careful selection of the polymerizable groups in the organic moieties can provide good-to-excellent control of the crosslinked density or degree of polymerization of the resulting hybrid materials. Thus, cubic silsesquioxanes may be exceptional model materials for inorganic/organic hybrids. Methods of synthesizing cubes with liquid-crystalline and/or polymerizable organic moieties are described. Some thermal properties are discussed. The catalytic copolymerization of the octavinyldimethylsiloxy-functionalized cube with the octahydridodimethyl-­siloxy-functionalized cube to produce a material with well-defined microporosity and high surface area is described. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The rearrangement reaction of an organocobalt polymer with cobaltacyclopentadiene moieties in the main chain (1) was carried out to yield a­new polymer bearing (η5-cyclopentadienyl) (η4-­cyclobutadiene)cobalt moieties in the main chain (2). For instance, a polymer (2) containing pure η4-cyclobutadienecobalt units was obtained as a yellow powder in 79% yield by the reaction of 1 in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at 110 °C for 1 h in a sealed tube. The polymer (2) obtained was soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform, THF and N,N-dimethylformamide and was quite stable under air. It showed good thermal stability and a weight loss of 5% was observed at 482 °C by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). On the other hand, displacement of the triphenylphosphine ligands on the main chain of the organocobalt polymer (1), without rearrangement of the cobaltacyclopentadiene rings, was observed when the reaction was carried out in the presence of appropriate ligands such as P(n-Bu)3. The resulting ligand-exchanged polymer showed different properties in comparison with 1. For instance a polymer bearing tri-n-octylphosphine is soluble in n-hexane, which is a poor solvent for 1. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The grafting of polymers onto a carbon black surface based on the trapping of polymer radicals by polycondensed aromatic rings of the surface was investigated. It was found that polymer radicals formed by the thermal decomposition of azo-polymer, peroxy-polymer and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxy-terminated polymer are successfully captured by a carbon black surface to give the corresponding polymer-grafted carbon blacks. The grafting of polymers onto carbon black was also achieved by the trapping of polymer radicals formed by the redox reaction of ceric ions with polymers having hydroxyl groups. It was concluded that surface grafting of polymers onto carbon black is effective when there are few functional groups. The electrical resistance of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-grafted carbon black thus obtained is increased drastically to about 104-105 times the initial resistance at the melting point of PEO. This may be due to a widening of the gaps between the carbon black particles by melting of PEO. In addition, it was found that the electrical resistance of a crystalline poly(ethylene imine) (PEI)-grafted carbon black drastically increased to 103-104 times the initial resistance in methanol, ethanol and water vapor, but hardly any change in electrical resistance was observed in n-hexane or toluene vapor. These results suggest the possibility of detecting a slight change in the crystalline structure of PEI upon absorption of solvent vapor as a large increase in the electrical resistance of the polymer-grafted carbon black. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Our recent work directed at the design, synthesis, characterization and applications of new types of polyborazylene and polyborosilazane polymers is reviewed with a focus on the use of these polymers as processable precursors to BN and SiNCB composites. A design strategy based on the controlled functionalization of preformed polymers with pendant groups of suitable compositions and crosslinking properties has been employed to yield second-generation dipentylamine-polyborazylene (DPA) and pinacolborane-hydridopolysilazane (PIN-HPZ) polymers, which, unlike the parent polyborazylene (PB) and the borazine-hydridopolysilazane (B-HPZ) polymers, are stable as melts and can be easily melt-spun into polymer fibers. Subsequent pyrolyses of these polymer fibers then provide excellent routes to BN and SiNCB ceramic fibers. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A parallel finite volume method for the Navier-Stokes equations with adaptive hybrid prismatic/tetrahedral grids is presented and evaluated in terms of parallel performance. A new method of domain partitioning for complex 3D hybrid meshes is also presented. It is based on orthogonal bisection of a special octree corresponding to the hybrid mesh. The octree is generated automatically and can handle any type of 3D geometry and domain connectivity. One important property of the octree-based partitioning that is exploited is the octree's ability to yield load-balanced partitions that follow the shape of the geometry. This biasing of the octree results in a reduced number of grid elements on the interpartition boundaries and thus fewer data to communicate among processors. Furthermore, the octree-based partitioning gives similar quality of partitions for very different geometries, while requiring minimal user interaction and little computational time. The partitioning method is evaluated in terms of quality of the subdomains as well as execution time. Viscous flow simulations for different geometries are employed to examine the effectiveness of the octree-based partitioning and to test the scalability of parallel execution of the Navier-Stokes solver and hybrid grid adapter on two different parallel systems, the Intel Paragon and the IBM SP2. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: To improve the numerical analysis of free surface convection and interface reconstruction, both first- and second-order algorithms are developed based on the volume-of-fluid method. The methodology applied to the second-order model is to define the second-order linear curve having both face slopes as near horizontal as possible while satisfying the cell's defined volume fraction.The second-order method is compared with the FLAIR method and the first-order method through simulation of the convection for various sizes of circular liquid shapes and solitary waves. For small curvature of the free surface, e.g. circles with large diameter, linear methods such as the FLAIR method and the first-order method show relatively good predictions. However, for large-curvature configurations, e.g. circles with relatively small diameter or solitary waves, the linear approach shows large distortion of the free surface. In contrast, the second-order model always shows powerful prediction capabilities of free surface convection. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: This paper compares several high-resolution schemes for the computation of detonation waves in solid explosives. The essential difficulty in comparison with the usual application domain of these schemes is due to the complexity and variety of the equations of state which are used. The HLLC Riemann solver is used in the context of an Eulerian MUSCL scheme and in conjunction with a shock-tracking scheme. The motivation and justification for the various choices in the building of these schemes are discussed. The accuracy of both schemes, full Eulerian and shock-tracking variant, is clearly demonstrated. In addition, the validity of the results is shown. For one-dimensional applications the shock-tracking scheme is very accurate and relatively simple. For multidimensional applications it is recommended that the full Eulerian version be used. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: This paper presents the basis of a computational time-marching approach, for large-aspect ratio lifting systems submitted to unsteady motions, using the lifting-line concept. When engineering requires such an approach, quasi-steady ones are currently encountered, which are based on Prandtl's lifting-line approach for steady flows. The results of recent theoretical works on the unsteady lifting-line, based on the matched asymptotic expansion technique, allow one to improve, on sound theoretical foundations, this quasi-steady approach. The proposed approach solves a first-order approximation of the unsteady outer problem for the time-evolution of the spanwise circulation distribution along the lifting-line. It introduces, in the same kind of process as Prandtl's one, for each span section, an unsteady two-dimensional description of the aerofoil behaviour together with a formulation for the three-dimensional unsteady induced velocity on the lifting-line. The approach's validity is examined through a simple numerical implementation for three wing motion cases. Considering the numerical results it produces, it can be stated that the unsteady lifting-line model implementation can be considered as time-consistent, whereas the quasi-steady one cannot. Furthermore, the approach presented here allows large time steps, even for very unsteady wing motions, and compares favourably with some classical results of R. T. Jones. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The time evolution of a line puff, a turbulent non-buoyant element with significant momentum, is studied using the renormalization group (RNG) k-∊ model. The numerical results show that the puff motion is characterized by a vortex pair flow; the computed flow details and scalar mixing characteristics can be described by self-similar relations beyond a dimensionless time of around 30. The added mass coefficient of the puff motion is found to be approximately unity. The predicted puff flow and mixing rate are substantially similar to those obtained from the standard k-∊ model and are well supported by experimental data. The computed scalar field reveals significant secondary concentration peaks trailing behind in the wake of the puff. The present results suggest that the overall mixing rate of a puff is primarily determined by the large-scale motion and that streamline curvature probably plays a minor role. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: This paper employs one-point, linear eddy viscosity and differential second-moment (DSM) turbulence closures to predict the turbulent characteristics of both rectilinear and circular tidal flows. The numerical scheme is based on a finite volume approach applied to a non-staggered grid such that all flow variables are stored at one and the same set of nodes. Numerical stability is maintained through the implementation of apparent viscosities and source term linearization, which are essential if eddy viscosity terms are absent. A stable algorithm is devised for the Reynolds stresses which includes a non-linear velocity smoothing in order to stabilise the numerical scheme during flow reversal and relaminarization. Favourable agreement with the experimental rectilinear tidal data of Schröder (Tech. Rep. GK55 87/E/16, GKSS-Forshungszentrum Geesthacht, 1983) and McClean (Turbulence and Sediment Transport Measurements in a North Sea Tidal Inlet (the Jade), Springer, New York, 1987, p. 436) is reported. Numerical calculations of circular tidal flows are also presented which were motivated by the preliminary investigations of Davies and Jones (Int. j. numer. meth. fluids,12, 17 (1991)) and Davies (Continental Shelf. Res., 11, 1313 (1991)), who employed the one-equation, k-l, eddy viscosity turbulence model to simulate rectilinear and circular tidal flows. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A computational study is performed on two-dimensional mixed convection in an annulus between a horizontal outer cylinder and a heated, rotating, eccentric inner cylinder. The computation has been done using a non-orthogonal grid and a fully collocated finite volume procedure. Solutions are iterated to convergence through a pressure correction scheme and the convection is treated by Van Leer's MUSCL scheme. The numerical procedure adopted here can easily eliminate the ‘Numerical leakage’ phenomenon of the mixed convection problem whereby strong buoyancy and centrifugal effects are encountered in the case of a highly eccentric annulus. Numerical results have been obtained for Rayleigh number Ra ranging from 7×103 to 107, Reynolds number Re from 0 to 1200 and Prandtl number Pr from 0.01 to 7. The mixed rotation parameter σ (=Ra/PrRe2) varies from ∞ (pure natural convection) to 0.01 with various eccentricities ε. The computational results are in good agreement with previous works which show that the mixed convection heat transfer characteristics in the annulus are significantly affected by σ and ε. The results indicate that the mean Nusselt number Nu increases with increasing Ra or Pr but decreases with increasing Re. In the case of a highly eccentric annulus the conduction effect becomes predominant in the throat gap. Hence the crucial phenomenon on whereby Nu first decreases and then increases can be found with increasing eccentricity. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: This paper describes the use of adaptive hierarchical grids to predict incompressible separated flow at low Reynolds number. The grids consist of a quadtree system of hierarchical Cartesian meshes which are generated by recursive subdivision about seeding points. The governing equations are discretized in collocated primitive variable form using finite volumes and solved using a pressure correction scheme. The mesh is locally adapted at each time step, with panel division or removal dependent on the vorticity magnitude. The resulting grids have fine local resolution and are economical in array size. Results are presented for unidirectional, impulsively started flow past a circular and a square cylinder at various Reynolds numbers up to 5000 and 250 respectively. It is clear that hierarchical meshes may offer gains in efficiency when applied to complex flow domains or strongly sheared flows. However, as expected, the stepped approximation to curved boundaries resulting from the Cartesian quadtree representation adversely affects the accuracy of the results for flow past a circular cylinder. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A direct numerical scheme is developed to study the temporal amplification of a 2D disturbance in plane Poiseuille flow. The transient non-linear Navier-Stokes equations are applied in a region of wavelength moving with the wave propagation speed. The complex amplitude involved in the perturbation functions is considered as the initial input of the non-linear stability equations. In this study a fully implicit finite difference scheme with five points in the flow direction and three points in the normal direction is developed so that numerical simulation of the amplification of a two-dimensional temporal disturbance in plane Poiseuille flow can be investigated. The growth and decay of the disturbance with time are presented and neutral stability curves which are in good agreement with existing solutions can be determined. The critical conditions as a function of the amplitude A0 of the disturbance are presented. Fixing the wavelength, the Navier-Stokes equations are solved up to Re=10,000 a friction factor increasing with Reynolds number is observed. The 2D non-linear behaviour of the streamfunction, vorticity and velocity components at Re=10,000 are also exhibited. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The mathematical formulation of the dynamics of free liquid surfaces including the effects of surface tension is governed by a non-linear system of elliptic differential equations. The major difficulty of getting unique closed solutions only in trivial cases is overcome by numerical methods. This paper considers transient simulations of liquid-gas menisci in vertical capillary tubes and gaps in the presence of gravity. Therefore the CFD code FIDAP 7.52 based on the Galerkin finite element method (FEM) is used. Calculations using the free surface model are presented for a variety of contact angles and cross-sections with experimental and theoretical verification. The liquid column oscillations are compared for numerical accuracy with a mechanical mathematical model, and the sensitivity with respect to the node density is investigated. The efficiency of the numerical treatment of geometric non-trivial problems is demonstrated by a prismatic capillary. Present restrictions limiting efficient transient simulations with irregularly shaped calculational domains are stated. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A numerical model for the simulation of flow and transport of organic compounds undergoing bacterial oxygen- and nitrate-based respiration is presented. General assumptions regarding microbial population, bacteria metabolism and effects of oxygen, nitrogen and nutrient concentration on organic substrate rate of consumption are briefly described. The numerical solution techniques for solving both the flow and the transport are presented. The saturated flow equation is discretized using a high-order mixed finite element scheme, which provides a highly accurate estimation of the velocity field. The transport equation for a sorbing porous medium is approximated using a finite volume scheme enclosing an upwind TVD shock-capturing technique for capturing concentration-unsteady steep fronts. The performance and capabilities of the present approach in a bio-remediation context are assessed by considering a set of test problems. The reliability of the numerical results concerning solution accuracy and the computational efficiency in terms of cost and memory requirements are also estimated. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A Eulerian-Eulerian approach is employed in the computation to couple the gas-particle flow. Turbulence closure is achieved using a Baldwin-Lomax model. The numerical procedure employs a multistage time-stepping Runge-Kutta scheme in conjunction with a finite volume method and is made computationally fast for the axisymmetric nozzle.

    Notes: This paper presents a general direct integral formulation for potential flows. The singularities of Green's functions are desingularized theoretically, using a subtracting and adding back technique, so that Gaussian quadrature or any other numerical integration methods can be applied directly to evaluate all the integrals without any difficulty. When high-order quadrature formulas are applied globally, the number of unknowns can be reduced. Interpolation functions are not necessary for unknown variables in the present paper. Therefore, the present method is much simpler and more efficient than the conventional one. Several numerical examples are calculated and compared satisfactorily with analytical solutions or published results. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A numerical analysis is made of the liquid flow and energy transport in a system to evaporate metals. The energy from an electron-beam heats an axisymmetric metal disk supported by a water-cooled platform. Metal evaporates from the surface of a hot pool of liquid which is surrounded by a shell of its own solid. Flow in the pool is strongly driven by temperature-induced buoyancy and capillary forces, and is located in the transition region between laminar and turbulent flow. The evaporation rate is strongly influenced by the locations of the free boundaries. A modified finite element method is used to calculate the steady state flow and temperature fields coupled with the interface locations. The mesh is structured with spines that stretch and pivot as the interfaces move. The discretized equations are arranged in an ‘arrow’ matrix and are solved using the Newton-Raphson method. The electron-beam power and platform contact resistance are varied for cases involving the evaporation of aluminum. The results reveal the interaction of liquid flow, heat transfer and free interfaces. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: On the basis of the potential flow theory, Lagrange's equation of motion is used to study the unsteady ground-effect problem. The forces and moments acting on the moving body are solved in terms of the derivatives of added masses in which the generalized Taylor's formulae are applied. The singular integral equations used to solve the surface source intensities and their derivatives are regularized by the Gauss flux theorem and are therefore amenable to the direct use of the Gaussian quadrature formula. In illustration, the condition of a prolate spheroid moving in the fore-and-aft direction at constant speed past a flat ground with a protrusion is considered. The hydrodynamic forces and moments acting on the moving spheroid are investigated systematically by varying the size of the protrusion and the cruising height of the spheroid. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The Saint Venant equations for modelling flow in open channels are solved in this paper, using a variety of total variation diminishing (TVD) schemes. The performance of second- and third-order-accurate TVD schemes is investigated for the computation of free-surface flows, in predicting dam-breaks and extreme flow conditions created by the river bed topography. Convergence of the schemes is quantified by comparing error norms between subsequent iterations. Automatically calculated time steps and entropy corrections allow high CFL numbers and smooth transition between different conditions. In order to compare different approaches with TVD schemes, the most accurate of each type was chosen. All four schemes chosen proved acceptably accurate. However, there are important differences between the schemes in the occurrence of clipping, overshooting and oscillating behaviour and in the highest CFL numbers allowed by a scheme. These variations in behaviour stem from the different orders and inherent properties of the four schemes. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A new efficient numerical method for three-dimensional hydrodynamic computations is presented and discussed in this paper. The method is based on the operator splitting method and combined with Eulerian-Lagrangian method, finite element method and finite difference method. To increase the efficiency and stability of the numerical solutions, the operator splitting method is employed to partition the momentum equations into three parts, according to physical phenomena. A time step is divided into three time substeps. In the first substep, advection and Coriolis force are solved using the explicit Eulerian-Lagrangian method. In the second substep, horizontal diffusion is approximated by implicit FEM in each horizontal layer. In the last substep, the continuity equation is solved by implicit FEM, and vertical diffusion and pressure gradient are discretized by implicit FDM in each nodal column. The stability analysis shows that this method is unconditionally stable. A number of numerical experiments have been performed. The results simulated by the present scheme agree well with analytical solutions and the other documented model results. The method is efficient for 3D shallow water flow computations and fully fits complicated configurations. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A numerical model is presented for the prediction of thermal radiation absorption in dense gas clouds during accidental release in the atmosphere. The model is based on the discrete transfer method (DT method) that was originally developed for modelling radiation in combustion chambers. The radiation model assumes a number of representative rays of predetermined orientation fired from each of the domain boundaries. Each ray is traced through the domain elements until reaching another boundary where it is terminated. Radiation sources are calculated for each element by performing an energy balance across each element for each ray passing through it. The energy sources recovered are fed into the finite element flow solver for every time step in the energy equation. The model proved accurate, and memory and computer time efficient. It showed that accounting for radiation effects lead to improved predictions. It also showed that in certain scenarios, radiation effects could be predominant. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A mixed Galerkin technique with B-spline basis functions is presented to compute two-dimensional incompressible flow in terms of the primitive variable formulation. To circumvent the Babuska-Brezzi stability criterion, the artificial compressibility formulation of the equation of mass conservation is employed. As a result, the diagonal components of the matrix form in the governing equations are not singular. The B-spline basis is used because it is superior to other splines in providing computer solutions to fluid flow problems. One of the advantages of the B-spline basis is that it has excellent approximation properties. Numerical examples of applications of the mixed formulation are presented to demonstrate the convergence characteristics and accuracy of the present formulation. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Extending multigrid concepts to the calculation of complex compressible flow is usually not straightforward. This is especially true when non-embedded grid hierarchies or volume agglomeration strategies are used to construct a gradation of unstructured grids. In this work, a multigrid method for solving second-order PDE's on stretched unstructured triangulations is studied. The finite volume agglomeration multigrid technique originally developed for solving the Euler equations is used (M.-H. Lallemand and A. Dervieux, in Multigrid Methods, Theory, Applications and Supercomputing, Marcel Dekker, 337-363 (1988)). First, a directional semi-coarsening strategy based on Poisson's equation is proposed. The second-order derivatives are approximated on each level by introducing a correction factor adapted to the semi-coarsening strategy. Then, this method is applied to solve the Poisson equation. It is extended to the 2D Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with appropriate boundary treatment for low-Reynolds number turbulent flows. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A parallel semi-explicit iterative finite element computational procedure for modelling unsteady incompressible fluid flows is presented. During the procedure, element flux vectors are calculated in parallel and then assembled into global flux vectors. Equilibrium iterations which introduce some ‘local implicitness’ are performed at each time step. The number of equilibrium iterations is governed by an implicitness parameter. The present technique retains the advantages of purely explicit schemes, namely (i) the parallel speed-up is equal to the number of parallel processors if the small communication overhead associated with purely explicit schemes is ignored and (ii) the computation time as well as the core memory required is linearly proportional to the number of elements. The incompressibility condition is imposed by using the artificial compressibility technique. A pressure-averaging technique which allows the use of equal-order interpolations for both velocity and pressure, this simplifying the formulation, is employed. Using a standard Galerkin approximation, three benchmark steady and unsteady problems are solved to demonstrate the accuracy of the procedure. In all calculations the Reynolds number is less than 500. At these Reynolds numbers it was found that the physical dissipation is sufficient to stabilize the convective term with no need for additional upwind-type dissipation. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The three-dimensional (3D) unsteady viscous wake of a circular cylinder exposed to a steady approach flow is calculated using a fractional-step finite-difference/spectral-element method. The calculated flow fields at Reynolds numbers of 100 (2D) and 200 (3D) are examined in detail. The flow field at Re = 100 is 2D as expected, while the flow field at Re = 200 has distinct 3D features, with spanwise wavelengths of about 3.75 cylinder diameters. The calculated results produce drag and lift coefficients and Strouhal numbers that agree extremely well with the experimental values. These 3D values at Re = 200 are in better agreement with experimental values than the results of a 2D calculation at Re = 200, which is expected. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: An application of a new flow measurement technique is described which allows for the non-intrusive simultaneous measurement of flow velocity, density, and viscosity. The viscosity information can be used to derive the flow field temperature. The combination of the three measured variables and the perfect-gas law then leads to an estimate of the flow field thermodynamic pressure. Thus, the instantaneous state of a flow field can be completely described. Three-state anemometry (3SA), a derivative of particle image velocimetry (PIV), which uses a combination of three monodisperse sizes of styrene seeding particles is proposed. A marker seeding is chosen to follow the flow as closely as possible, while intermediate and large seeding populations provide two supplementary velocity fields, which are also dependent on fluid density and viscosity. A simplified particle motion equation, aimed at turbomachinery applications, is then solved over the whole field to provide both density and viscosity data. The three velocity fields can be separated in a number of ways. The simplest and that proposed in this paper is to dye the different populations and view the region of interest through interferometric filters. The two critical aspects needed to enable the implementation of such a technique are a suitable selection of the diameters of the particle populations, and the separation of the velocity fields. There has been extensive work on the seeding particle behaviour which allows an estimate of the suitable particle diameters to be made. A technique is described in this paper to allow the separation of particles in a range of micrometer sized velocity fields through fluorescence (separation through intensity also being possible). Some preliminary results by direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a 3SA image are also presented. The particle sizes chosen were 1 μm and 5 μm, tested on the near-wake flow past a cylinder to investigate viscosity only, assuming uniform flow density. The accuracy of the technique, derived from simulations of swirling flows, is estimated as 0.5% RMS for velocity, 2% RMS for the density and viscosity, and 4% RMS for the temperature estimate. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Hybrid grids consisting of prisms and tetrahedra are employed for the solution of the 3-D Navier-Stokes equations of incompressible flow. A pressure correction scheme is employed with a finite volume-finite element spatial discretization. The traditional staggered grid formulation has been substituted with a collocated mesh approach which uses fourth-order artificial dissipation. The hybrid grid is refined adaptively in local regions of appreciable flow variations. The scheme operations are performed on an edge-wise basis which unifies treatment of both types of grid elements. The adaptive method is employed for incompressible flows in both single and multiply-connected domains. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Details are given of a study to obtain experimental data in an idealized environment for the purpose of evaluating the corresponding computational predictions and which supplement parallel measurements made in actual packaged air-conditioning units. The system consisted of a purpose-built low-speed wind tunnel with a working section constructed to reproduce particular features of the real units. In the experiment, both the mean velocity profiles and turbulence properties of the flow are obtained from triple-hot-wire anemometry measurements. A numerical model, based on finite volume methodology, was used to obtain the solution of the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible isothermal flow. The Reynolds stress terms in the equations are calculated using the standard k-∊ model and second-moment closure (Reynolds stress) models. The accuracy of the two models was evaluated against the experimental measurements made 10 mm downstream of a baffle. The results show that the standard k-∊ model gave the better agreement except in regions of strong recirculation. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Explosion hazards constitute a significant practical problem for industry. In response to the need for better-resolved predictions for confined explosions, and particularly with a view to advancing safety cases for offshore oil and gas rigs, an existing unstructured, adaptive mesh, finite volume Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes computational fluid dynamics code (originally developed to handle non-combusting turbomachinery flows) has been modified to include a one-equation, eddy break-up combustion model. Two benefits accrue from the use of unstructured, solution-adaptive meshes: first, great geometrical flexibility is possible; second, automatic mesh adaptation allows computational effort to be focused on important or interesting areas of the flow by enhancing mesh resolution only where it is required. In the work reported here, the mesh was adaptively refined to achieve flame front capture, and it is shown that this results in a 10%-33% CPU saving for two-dimensional calculations and a saving of between 57% and 70% for three-dimensional calculations. The geometry of the three-dimensional calculations was relatively simple, and it may be expected that the use of unstructured meshes for truly complex geometries will result in CPU savings sufficient to allow an order-of-magnitude increase in either complexity or resolution. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The application of standard multigrid methods for the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations in complicated domains causes problems in two ways. First, coarsening is not possible to full extent since the geometry must be resolved by the coarsest grid used. Second, for semi-implicit time-stepping schemes, robustness of the convergence rates is usually not obtained for convection-diffusion problems, especially for higher Reynolds numbers. We show that both problems can be overcome by the use of algebraic multigrid (AMG), which we apply for the solution of the pressure and momentum equations in explicit and semi-implicit time-stepping schemes. We consider the convergence rates of AMG for several model problems and demonstrate the robustiness of the proposed scheme. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The dispersion of solid particles in a turbulent liquid flow impinging on a centrebody through an axisymmetric sudden expansion was investigated numerically using a Eulerian-Lagrangian model. Detailed experimental measurements at the inlet were used to specify the inlet conditions for two-phase flow computations. The anisotropy of liquid turbulence was accounted for using a second-moment Reynold stress transport model. A recently developed stochastic-probabilistic model was used to enhance the computational efficiency of Lagrangian trajectory computations. Numerical results of the stochastic-probabilistic model using 650 particle trajectories were compared with those of the conventional stochastic discrete-delta-function model using 18 000 particle trajectories. In addition, results of the two models were compared with experimental measurements. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The focus of this paper is a systematic determination of the relationship between grid resolution and errors associated with computations of hurricane storm surge. A grid structure is sought that provides the spatial resolution necessary to capture pertinent storm surge physics and does not overdiscretize. A set of numerical experiments simulating storm surge generation over 14 grid discretizations of idealized domains examines the influence of grid spacing, shoreline detail, coastline resolution and characteristics of the meteorological forcing on storm surge computations. Errors associated with a given grid are estimated using a Richardson-based error estimator. Analysis of the magnitude and location of estimated errors indicates that underresolution on the continental shelf leads to significant overprediction of the primary storm surge. In deeper waters, underresolution causes smearing or damping of the inverted barometer forcing function, which in turn results in underprediction of the surge elevation. In order to maintain a specified error level throughout the duration of the storm, the highest grid resolution is required on the continental shelf and particularly in nearshore areas. The disparity of discretization requirements between deep waters and coastal regions is best met using a graded grid. Application of the graded gridding strategy to the hindcast of Hurricane Camille reinforces the necessity of using a grid that has high levels of resolution in nearshore regions and areas of complex coastal geometry. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: In this paper, alternative formulations of the steady Euler equations for conservation of mass, momentum and energy are adopted for the numerical simulation of compressible flows with shock waves. The total enthalpy is assumed to be constant and hence an isentropic density is calculated in terms of the velocity components. Also, the x- and y-momentum equations written in conservation form are combined to yield the tangential and normal momentum equations. For smooth flows the tangential momentum equation reduces to the entropy transport equation, while the normal momentum equation gives the vorticity in terms of the entropy gradient normal to the flow direction (Crocco's relation). Hence the velocity components can be obtained from the continuity equation and normal momentum equation (Cauchy/Riemann equations), while the entropy correction for the density is obtained from the tangential momentum equation (this correction is not needed in the isentropic flow regions). The present formulation can be easily extended to handle variable total enthalpy. Preliminary results are presented for transonic and supersonic flows over aerofoils and the entropy and vorticity effects are clearly identified. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Numerical methods have been applied to theoretical studies of instability and transition to turbulence. In this study an analysis of the linear stability of incompressible flow is undertaken. By means of the finite element method the two-dimensional base flow is computed numerically over a range of Reynolds numbers and is perturbed with three-dimensional disturbances. The partial differential equations governing the evolution of perturbation are obtained from the non-linear Navier-Stokes equations with a slight compressibility by using linear stability and normal mode analysis. In terms of the finite element discretization a non-singular generalized eigenproblem is formulated from these equations whose solution gives the dispersion relation between complex growth rate and wave number. This study presents stability curves to identify the critical Reynolds number and critical wavelength of the neutral mode and discusses the mechanism of instability. The stability of lid-driven cavity flow is examined. Taylor-Göertler-like vortices in the cavity are obtained by means of reconstruction of three-dimensional flows. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A numerical procedure is developed for the analysis of flow in a channel whose walls describe a travelling wave motion. Following a perturbation method, the primitive variables are expanded in a series with the wall amplitude as the perturbation parameter. The boundary conditions are applied at the mean surface of the channel and the first-order perturbation quantities are calculated using the pseudospectral collocation method. Although limited by the linear analysis, the present approach is not restricted by the Reynolds number of the flow and the wave number and frequency of the wavy-walled channel. Using the computed wall shear stresses, the positions of flow separation and reattachment are determined. The variations in velocity and pressure with frequency of excitation are also presented. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A one-dimensional scalar transport method which is appropriate for simulations over a wide range of Courant number is described. Von Neumann stability and matrix invertibility are guaranteed for all Courant numbers and the method has less diffusive and dispersive error than simpler implicit methods. It is implemented for vertical scalar transport in a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model, with horizontal transport discretized explicitly. The method is applied and compared with simpler semi-implicit methods in several test cases and used for a simulation of scalar transport in an estuary. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A parallel solver based on domain decomposition is presented for the solution of large algebraic systems arising in the finite element discretization of mechanical problems. It is hybrid in the sense that it combines a direct factorization of the local subdomain problems with an iterative treatment of the interface system by a parallel GMRES algorithm. An important feature of the proposed solver is the use of a set of Lagrange multipliers to enforce continuity of the finite element unknowns at the interface. A projection step and a preconditioner are proposed to control the conditioning of the interface matrix.The decomposition of the finite element mesh is formulated as a graph partitioning problem. A two-step approach is used where an initial decomposition is optimized by non-deterministic heuristics to increase the quality of the decomposition.Parallel simulations of a Navier-Stokes flow problem carried out on a Convex Exemplar SPP system with 16 processors show that the use of optimized decompositions and the preconditioning step are keys to obtaining high parallel efficiencies. Typical parallel efficiencies range above 80%. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Large eddy simulation (LES) results are reported for temporally developing solid-solid and solid-rigid-lid juncture flows. A MacCormack-type scheme that is second-order in time, and fourth-order in space for the convective terms and second-order in space for the viscous terms, is used. The simulations are obtained for a low subsonic Mach number. The subgrid-scale stresses (SGS) are modeled using the dynamic modeling procedure. The turbulent flow field generated on a flat-plate boundary layer is used to initialize the juncture flow simulations. The results of the flat-plate boundary layer simulations are validated with experimental and direct numerical simulations (DNS) data. In juncture flow simulations, the presence of an adjacent solid-wall/rigid-lid boundary altered the mean and the turbulent field, setting up gradients in the anisotropy of normal Reynolds stresses resulting in the formation of turbulence-induced secondary vortices. The relative size of these secondary vortices and the distribution of mean and turbulent quantities are in qualitative agreement with the experimental observations for the solid-solid juncture. The overall distribution of the mean and turbulence quantities showed close resemblance between the solid-solid and the solid-rigid-lid junctures; except for the absence of a second vortical region near the rigid-lid boundary. In agreement with the experimental observations, it was found that the normalized anisotropy term exhibited similarity when plotted against the distance from the boundary, regardless of the type of boundary, i.e. solid-wall or rigid-lid. The turbulent kinetic energy increased near the rigid-lid boundary. While the surface normal velocity fluctuations decreased to zero at the rigid-lid boundary, the other two velocity components showed an increase in their energy, which is also consistent with the experimental observations. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: In order to use the optimal control techniques in models of geophysical flow circulation, an application to a 1D advection-diffusion equation, the so-called Burgers' equation, is described. The aim of optimal control is to find the best parameters of the model which ensure the closest simulation to the observed values. In a more general case, the continuous problem and the corresponding discrete form are formulated. Three kinds of simulation are realized to validate the method. Optimal control processes by initial and boundary conditions require an implicit discretization scheme on the first time step and a decentered one for the non-linear advection term on boundaries. The robustness of the method is tested with a noised dataset and random values of the initial controls. The optimization process of the viscosity coefficient as a time- and space-dependent variable is more difficult. A numerical study of the model sensitivity is carried out. Finally, the numerical application of the simultaneous control by the initial conditions, the boundary conditions and the viscosity coefficient allows a possible influence between controls to be taken into account. These numerical experiments give methodological rules for applications to more complex situations. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Flow through the spiral casing of a hydraulic turbine was analyzed. Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations were solved using a finite element method. The physical domain was divided into a number of hexahedral elements which are isoparametrically mapped onto standard cubic elements. Numerical integration for the unsteady momentum equation is performed over such hexahedral elements to obtain a provisional velocity field. Compliance with the mass conservation equation and determination of the pressure correction are accomplished through an iterative procedure. The velocity distribution inside the spiral casing corroborates the results available in literature. The static pressure at the midplane generally decreases from the outside wall towards the exit of the spiral casing. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
