Control volume method for modelling slightly compressible flow reservoirs
Kimathi, M; Onyango, TTM; Abidha, MG (2015)Numerical simulation is widely used for predicting reservoir behavior and forecasting its performance. In this paper numerical modeling isperformed to simulatesingle phase flow in oil reservoir in horizontal ... -
Investigation of Pressure Distributions for a Finite Elasto-Hydrodynamic Journal Bearing Lubricated by Ferro Fluids with Couple Stresses
Kihuga, D; Kimathi, M; Kinyanjui, M (2014)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, by using the ... -
Simulation of Dimple Characteristics on the Trajectories of a Dimpled Sphere (Golf Ball) in Motion
Wainaina, M; Kimathi, M; Malonza, D (2018)A mathematical model describing the flight motion of a golf ball is developed, and the effects of dimple characteristics are studied. Using the Newton’s second law of motion, the equations governing the motion of the golf ... -
Vehicular Traffic Flow Model with Driver Aggresiveness Component in a Multilane Road
Kariuki, E; Kimathi, M; Abidha, M.G (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 ...
