The interaction between a traveling shock wave and a cylindrical water column was predicted using the open-source CFD toolbox OpenFOAM. The two-dimensional flow in a shock tube device was simulated by using the volume-of-fluid method for tracking the transient interface between the two immiscible fluids. The analysis was based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes approach, where an eddy-viscosity model was supplied for the turbulence closure. The acceptably accurate results achieved for this complex fluids engineering problem confirmed the viability of this toolbox for industrial research and development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To address the need for an affordable but high-performance nondestructive testing system for manufacturing industry, PRTDRAN (the Research Center for Radiation Detection and Nuclear Analysis Technology) is developing an X-ray based CT scan system. The CT system under development consists of an X-ray generator, a radioscopy box, and a turntable for the sample. It was built for USD 33,100. The thickest material the CT system can examine is 8 mm for steel and 8 cm for aluminium. The radioscopy box used is based on the principles followed in IAEA Radiation Technology Reports No. 2, but with significant modifications. The camera resolution is 20 megapixels, while an image detector of up to 30 cm × 30 cm size can be accommodated. The position of the camera is adjustable, allowing for the precision needed for use in a CT scanner. The radioscopy box weighs just 30 kg. The CT scanner is housed in a 220 cm × 140 cm × 180 cm housing made of a lead and stainless steel plates. The operation of the system is controlled from a computer in a separate control room, to further improve user safety. Through testing, the system has been found to perform CT imaging and reconstruction well, with pre-reconstruction interpolated basic spatial resolution iSRb of 0.234 mm, while the radiation exposure outside the system did not exceed 0.6 µSv/h at 1 m from the housing.

The authors explain one of the ways to ensure the sustainable development of an industrial enterprise in a dynamic business environment. The solution is to develop an assessment method and tools as well as their application in the context of measuring the effectiveness of the enterprise management system. To achieve these the main approaches to the assessment of the effectiveness of managerial decision-making have been identified and analyzed by the authors. The article provides proof, that the approach towards functional effectiveness of the management system allows to identify problems of management functions implementation, but not to determine the state of developmental sustainability of the enterprise under study. The approach to the assessment of system effectiveness of management allows to identify an incorrect communication of managerial decisions, but not to determine the rate of economic growth of the enterprise. The approach towards the sustainable effectiveness of management allows methodologically not only to identify the potential of the enterprise, but to strengthen it as well and this, in practice, will ensure the long-term development of business in a dynamic external environment. The authors, therefore, suggest developing the final approach and provide new assessment tools for enterprise management subsystems along with the methodology, allowing to determine target sustainability of a management system that contributes to even development of an enterprise in all spheres of its activity. Authors' solutions have been tested at OJSC 'RPC 'Uralvagonzavod' and demonstrated that the enterprise under study operates statically. In conclusion, the authors recommended ways of improving the management system of OJSC 'RPC 'Uralvagonzavod' for it to operate successfully under dynamic business environment conditions.

A new approach to the problem of odometric positioning of a mining machine under the ground is proposed. As a technical solution to the task, the use of BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) technology is proposed. Bluetooth beacons will be dropped as the combine moves. A sensor attached to the back of the transfer hopper will measure the distance to the nearest beacon. A model is created that simulates random speeds of the combine's movement on sections of random length. Random dispersion when dropping Bluetooth beacons is simulated. To generate sensor measurements, an algorithm is being developed that takes into account the increase in the error of readings when moving away from the nearest dropped beacon. To process the simulated measurements and correctly determine the distance, the Kalman filtering algorithm is used. The proposed approach and the created simulation model allow, with a given degree of accuracy, to determine and predict the distance to the mining machine during the development of industrial seams.

The number of particle accelerators worldwide increases in the order of above 10,000 units every decade, while only very small numbers have been built in Indonesia. This fact spurs a need of a comprehensive analysis of the cause. A review is urgently required to obtain the right direction of the research & development (R&D) program policy which should be in line with the world development trend and the user demand. The program should also produce outcomes and impacts which capable to spread and increase the accelerator applications with high local content. This paper describes a brief analysis of the R&D program policy of particle accelerator in Indonesia. The gaps between the world development and the research, development, and application of accelerators in Indonesia are reviewed. The capacity of an institution responsible for accelerator R&D is evaluated. Three indicators, namely sourcing and absorptive capacity, R&D capacity, and disseminating capacity are used as the evaluation parameters. The review results indicate that Indonesia was failed to anticipate the increased demand for medical accelerators and there was budgeting inconsistency in supporting the development of industrial accelerators. Moreover, the evaluation results of the three indicators come to suggestions that Indonesia still needs to strengthen the sourcing & absorptive capacity as well as the R&D capacity, and to improve the disseminating capacity.
