Comparison of Godunov’s and Relaxation Schemes Approximation of Solutions to the Euler Equations
(Journal of Applied Mathematics and Bioinformatics, 2015)In this paper we deal with the study of Euler equations for isothermal gas that is governed by two hyperbolic equations. By analysing the equations we obtain two real and distinct eigenvalues which enables ... -
Investigation of pressure distributions for a finite elastohydrodynamic journal bearing lubricated by Ferro fluids with couple stresses
(Journal of Computations and Modelling, 2015)The performance of finite elastohydrodynamic journal bearings lubricated by ferrofluids with couple stresses has been studied. We derive a Reynolds equation that takes into account magneto elastohydrodynamics, ... -

The Sheng Identity, Cultural Background and Their Influence on Communication in Academic Endevours: The Case of Machakos University College
(International Journal of Social Science and Economics Invention, 2016)Young people in Kenya want to be identified with Sheng and some, in addition, want to be identified with their cultures. Sheng is a slang language originating in Nairobi, Kenya, spoken by the ... -
Vehicular Traffic Flow Model with Driver Aggresiveness Component in a Multilane Road
(Journal of Applied and Computational Mathematics, 2016)In this study, we outline the Kerner’s 3-phase traffic flow theory, which states that traffic flow occurs in three phases and these are free flow, synchronized flow and wide moving jam phases. A macroscopic traffic flow ... -
The Olunyala (K) Syllable Onset
(International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, 2015-11)Olunyala(K) is one of the more than 17 dialects of the Luyia language spoken in Western Kenya, East Africa (Angogo,1980; Guthrie, 1967; Osogo,1966). The purpose of the study was to ... -
Simulation of Traffic Congestion at Unsignalised Intersections using aMicroscopic Traffic Flow Model
(Journal of Applied Mathematical Sciences, 2016)In this paper, we study and present a Microscopic Simulation of traffic in an unsignalised intersection using a Microscopic Car Following model based on the General Motors Theory (GM). The adverse effect caused by the ... -
