Formation of a Flexible Management System
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Yavorskyi Roman T. , Shyshkovskyi Serhii V. ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University
Published: December 2023

In the context of permanent changes, the development of flexible management methodologies becomes an urgent necessity. The main factors influencing the effectiveness of modern management are the following: validity and flexible variability of managerial decisions, availability of a vision of the ways of development of the organization, high efficiency of organizational processes, competence and agility of employees. The article considers the essence of the concepts of «flexibility of the system» with the further extension of these definitions to «flexibility of the system of organization and management of the economic system». Flexibility is proposed to be understood as the ability of a system, which is subject to random influences of internal and external factors, to change its state or trajectory of movement (development) within the limits that are due to the critical values of the main parameters, after which irreversible changes in the integrity of the system occur. The definition of the concept of «dexterous worker» as a competent specialist, who has all the properties of dexterity developed at a high level (ingenuity, liveliness, energy, interest, intelligence, dexterity) is presented. The features of the formation of flexible teams are considered, taking into account the typology of employees. In a flexible team, employees have the right to express and defend their own point of view in a controversial situation, but not to block each other. In a flexible team, a change in personal assessment of the situation drives, not disappoints. This is the «secret» of the effective work of a flexible team. An important component in building a flexible team is mentoring. The starting point of mentoring is managerial self-awareness as an awareness of one’s own strengths, weaknesses and personality traits. Mentoring refers to management methods aimed at the development of an individual by sharing a vision of a problem and choosing effective tools for solving it based on personal experience or best practice of other managers.

Published: December 2023

The aim of the article is to develop methodical and practical principles for the formation of a mechanism for managing strategic changes at a domestic enterprise in modern economic conditions. The article analyzes the factors that give rise to strategic changes in the enterprise. The types of strategic changes and their impact on the strategic management of enterprise have been allocated. The stages of the process of management of strategic changes of enterprise are considered. The author’s own approach to the formation of a mechanism for managing strategic changes in enterprise has been proposed. Four levels at which this mechanism is formed have been allocated: general, process, functional, and instrumental. The main elements of each level are differentiated. It is emphasized that at the general level it is important to determine the driving element, input, object of control and the desired result (output). The constant influence of the external environment on the process of managing strategic changes of enterprise is emphasized and it is noted that external changes do not require management and do not depend on the enterprise itself, and therefore the latter can only adapt to them. Internal strategic changes are manageable, although they often depend on the external environment. The functional level provides for the allocation of components of the process of managing strategic changes of the enterprise, and the process level – specific stages of the change management process, which depend on the complexity of the changes carried out and the characteristics of the enterprise itself. The instrumental level involves the selection of a set of tools and methods for managing strategic changes. The relationship between all levels of the mechanism for managing strategic changes of enterprise is emphasized and a set of indicators is defined, with the help of which it is possible to analyze the effectiveness and efficiency of the presented mechanism. It is concluded that the mechanism for managing strategic changes for each company can have an individual composition of elements and components, although there is a classic minimum set, for want of which the process of change management cannot be carried out.

In the context of constant aggravation of competition, when the speed of response of all subsystems of the enterprise along with the efficiency of activities are of particular importance, one of the effective instruments aimed at improving the functioning of the enterprise is the reengineering of business processes, since it radically changes the existing process model of business to an innovative model that is more adaptive to the existing realities of an economic entity. Effective use of technologies and instruments for reengineering of business processes allows the enterprise to become more flexible and adaptive to changes in the external environment, and as a result, more competitive in the business environment. Therefore, the study of the scientific problem of the application of the conception of reengineering and its implementation by enterprises in today’s conditions is an urgent task of both scientists and practitioners. The aim of the article is to develop an algorithm for evaluating the process of reengineering of the enterprise’s business processes. The article proves the relevance of the conception of reengineering of the business processes of enterprise by analyzing the evolution, formation, and the current development of this sphere of knowledge; the importance of information technologies in the management of the system of processes and modeling of the business processes of enterprise is determined; the stages of the procedure for reengineering of the business processes of enterprise are substantiated and the role and status of personnel in these changes are determined; an integrated organizational approach to assessing the process of reengineering of the the enterprise’s business processes has been substantiated. The purpose of the research was achieved with the help of a system of methods, in particular analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction – to determine the essence and features of the object and subject of research, scientific abstraction, logical analysis, comparison – to establish the causes, factors, and consequences of influence on the object and subject of research; integrated and system approach – to assess the process of reengineering of the business processes of the enterprise. Further scientific research on the subject of research will be based on the rapid development of modern technologies with the progressive informatization of society, which will lead to new conceptions and approaches both to the organization of reengineering and to the evaluation of its results.

Published: December 2023

Risk management is an important process for the success of an IT project. Risk management provides significant benefits for companies, projects, and stakeholders associated with project implementation. This cannot be achieved without introducing risk management at every level of the business. Risk management becomes a management instrument that is essential for the project manager to increase the chances of success and solve problems before risk becomes a major problem that can threaten project goals. IT projects are characterized by a high level of risk and can have different approaches to risk management. IT projects (in the terms of software) have risks and uncertainties. Risks can be mitigated, managed, and maintained in accordance with planning and assessment. Common risks can be: user requirements, project complexity, planning and control, team, organizational environment, technology, and financial risk. The presence of risk management and risk manager influences the success of the project, risk management (especially risk analysis and monitoring and control of risk response) that is related to the subjective effectiveness of IT projects. There is a link between risk management and the success and subjective effectiveness of IT projects. A project is considered successful if its result is appropriate or better than determined during planning. Risk management can lead a project to success and achieve its subjective effectiveness only if the risks and ways to control them in the project were identified before it started. Conversely, proper risk management does not affect costs, schedules, and cost overruns, as these are three interrelated and defined positions in project planning.

Published: December 2023

The article deals with the problem of increasing the risk for modern national projects, actuated in the field of information technologies. The purpose of the article is to deepen and expand the theoretical and practical knowledge of complex enterprise management in conditions of increased risk for companies working in the field of information technologies. The main problems that arise during the operation of the project, the peculiarities of the information sphere and additional risks for the companies that continue to work under martial law are analyzed. It is concluded that the main reason for the deviation from the planned goals of the project is the lack of comprehensive qualified project management and the low level of audit in companies at all stages of project implementation. In order to improve the current situation, a general increase in the informational education of Ukrainians, an increase in the number of training programs for project participants, and an increase in wages to maintain a qualified staff of employees who would promptly respond to existing risks and contribute to the optimization of all processes in the project are proposed. The main areas of efficiency improvement for the Ukrainian IT enterprise were analyzed and recommendations for its improvement were provided, the basis of which is the use of modern ERP systems, artificial intelligence, Gartner's magic quadrant and the constant creation of tables of possible risk factors for the enterprise with calculations of the strength of their influence and prompt creation of alternative scenarios.
The Essence, Elements and Components of Social Responsibility of Enterprises
Authors:   National Aviation University, Hovsieiev Dmytro D.
Published: December 2023

The aim of the article is to study and generalize the theoretical provisions on the social responsibility of enterprises in the context of dynamism and uncertainty of the environment. When analyzing and summarizing the scientific works of many scholars, it was determined that the social responsibility of the enterprise is aimed at creating a positive impact on the socioeconomic environment of the enterprise and can lead to various positive results, including financial success, improving reputation and creating a favorable image in the market. As a result of the study, approaches to the formation of the concept of corporate social responsibility, which can coexist and complement each other, are analyzed. The main characteristics of social responsibility are defined, including: the social nature of responsibility; dependence on the social qualities of the individual and social norms and values, their integration into the social system. The features of legal and non-legal social responsibility of enterprises are characterized and their components are defined. The main types of companies that determine trends in the sphere of social influence have been allocated, and it has been substantiated that «social innovators» can act as catalysts for further development of the sphere of social responsibility, since such enterprises set themselves the task not only to comply with the standards of social responsibility, but also to be active leaders in the development of innovative approaches and solutions to solve social problems. The article also analyzes the features of the world’s largest initiative in the field of corporate social responsibility – the UN Global Compact, which is designed to promote the creation of more sustainable and ethical corporations that not only generate profit, but also benefit society and the environment. It is substantiated that social responsibility can be a competitive advantage, strengthening the reputation of enterprise and stimulating innovative solutions. Prospects for further research lie in the field of studying the features of introduction and implementation of the strategy of corporate social responsibility of enterprise.

Building an effective system of organization of scientific activity, which is harmonized with the needs of society, is becoming an urgent task for Ukraine. A decisive role in this process is played by the procedure for evaluating the efficiency of activities of scientific institutions. The aim of the publication is generalizing the practical experience gained in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and searching for opportunities to implement the organizational principles of the methodology for evaluating the results of scientific activity into the practice of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. In recent decades, the PRC has made significant progress in the development of scientific and innovative activities. Scientific research in China is carried out by research institutes and research universities. The system of financing scientific activities in this country is built on the basis of the results of evaluation, obtained by creating a unique methodology in which scientometric instrumentarium is combined with expert evaluation. The peculiarity of the organization of scientific activity in the PRC is that that if there are more than 2.5 thousand higher education institutions in the country, most scientific research is carried out by a small number of scientific organizations, that include only about 100 universities. The reform of the organizational mechanism of the State management of scientific activities in China took place in several stages, each of which deserves to be studied on the subject of positive experience and possibilities of avoiding the undesirable mistakes. The practical experience of continuous reform of the organizational system of management of scientific activities in China deserves a detailed study and search for ways of possible implementation of the instrumentarium for evaluating the results of scientific activity in the practice of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, taking into account the similarity of the structure of the scientific sphere. Both countries have similar research management structures, including relevant ministries and a network of national academies of sciences. This fact speaks in favor of using the existing practical experience of reforming the field of scientific research and preventing mistakes made by government officials during the implementation of a number of reforms in China (for example, the proven inexpediency of evaluating the results of the activities of scientific institutions, relying solely on quantitative indicators of scientific activity). Also noteworthy is the experience of mixed funding of scientific research, which combines the public sources with the competitive ones.

THE IDEAL PHYSICAL THERAPIST FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF INDIVIDUALS WITH LIMB LOSS
Authors: Lee Daniel , Albert Gambale  , Maya Nisani  , Carol Miller  , Elizabeth Leung  , Madeline Rodgers  , Daniel Chillianis  , Matthew Marra
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: Effective rehabilitation after limb loss is necessary to maximize function and promote independence. Physical therapists (PT) are one of the primary drivers of the rehabilitation process. While general physical therapy knowledge and abilities have been shown to be important to the rehabilitation process, it is unclear what individuals with limb loss value in their PT’s.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to understand the elements that define an ideal PT from the perspective of individuals with limb loss.
METHODOLOGY: Mixed-method design consisting of a 20-item web-based survey and semi-structured interviews that were administered to individuals 18 years or older, who spoke English, and had a history of lower limb loss.
FINDINGS: Individuals with limb loss describe an ideal PT as promoting a therapeutic alliance, having specialized knowledge, and collaborating with a prosthetist. Knowledge of the PT as it relates to limb loss was found to be both the greatest facilitator and barrier to the rehabilitation process.
CONCLUSION: From the perspective of those with limb loss, an ideal PT promotes a strong therapeutic alliance through communication, has specialized knowledge when it comes to the limb loss rehabilitation process, and collaborates with the prosthetist to problem-solve throughout the rehabilitation process.
Layman's Abstract
Individuals with limb loss require specialized care from a variety of health care providers to maximize function and mobility. Rehabilitation is generally administered by physical therapists along with other members of the medical team, including prosthetists.  Physical therapists have generalized knowledge about limb loss management, however, there is limited access to physical therapists who are specialized in this area. It is not understood if the lack of specialization is a concern for individuals in the limb loss community. Therefore, our study explored what individuals with limb loss would define as the ideal physical therapist. We reviewed responses from surveys and interviews from individuals with limb loss and found that they value the specialized knowledge of the physical therapist, as well as the therapeutic relationship between themselves, the physical therapist, and the prosthetist.

Rightful Recognition of Kurdistan as a Colony and De-colonizing Knowledge Production
Authors: Goner Ozlem
Published: December 2023

In recent years the field of Kurdish Studies has witnessed several workshops and panels on the theme of “decolonizing,” influenced by such conversations in Postcolonial, Black and Indigenous Studies. Interestingly, many of these attempts in academic venues have not engaged with the question of ongoing colonial status of Kurdistan and how this status impacts knowledge production. This paper aims to propose a clear definition of a relationship of coloniality with a focus on colonial violence in the region of Bakur and explain why such terminology is necessary, intellectually and politically. As it explains the limits of the terminology used in academic knowledge production about state violence and Kurdish resistance, it also discusses contemporary alternatives to these dominant academic frameworks. It is argued that a rightful decolonization of knowledge about Kurdistan and freedom movements in the region can take place when we simultaneously recognize ongoing colonization, and acknowledge that it is ultimately the organized anti-colonial movements, which can determine definitions of self-determination, as well as the political means to gain and sustain it.
Shame containment theory—a new approach to shame
Authors: Etherson Lisa
Published: December 2023

Shame is often overlooked in therapy in favour of anxiety and guilt (Lansky & Morrison, 1998; Solomon, 2021). Indeed, there is little emphasis on shame within psycho- therapy training and a noticeable lack of recognition to its relationship with attachment (Solomon, 2021). And yet, shame is described as an attachment emotion by some shame theorists (Lewis, 1971; Schore, 1991). Shame is a complex emotion that is often hidden, making it difficult to work with and can leave clients feeling frustrated that they are stuck in the same relational patterns. Ultimately, unacknowledged shame in the therapy room and the understanding of how shame influences self-perception can be detrimental to thera- peutic outcome. This article introduces a new theory of shame: shame containment theory (SCT). The premise being that shame is vital to self-protection and attachment. By exploring the history of shame in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and presenting current models of shame, this article will demonstrate how SCT is a needed addition to contemporary shame theory, with particular relevance to attachment theory. Using a brief case study, this article will demonstrate how SCT relates to presentations in the therapy room. This lens on shame as an attachment emotion offers therapists a new model with which to understand and work with shame.
A kind of love: resources and limits of attachment
Authors: Bugliani Adriano
Published: December 2023

All the empirical literature on what is effective in psychotherapy, not just psycho- analytic therapy, ends up emphasising relationship and personality. And when you talk about relationship or about the working alliance, you're talking about the two parties making an attachment to each other, which is just a fancy word for love. I will try to show how this applies to a very difficult case.
Older adults deserve better in society
Authors: Ezquerro Arturo , Cañete María
Published: December 2023

This article provides a developmental perspective of late life, a time of growth in some areas and decline in others. In contrast to younger adults, who go through a process of expansion, productivity, and mastery, older adults increasingly experience reduced rather than expanded choices and capabilities, including many losses and a heightened awareness of death. However, they have distinct opportunities to sustain a balanced relational involve- ment (including interpersonal and group attachment), grow as a person, and achieve a sense of self-continuity and ego-integrity. This article aims to encourage healthcare professionals (including attachment-based and relational psychotherapists), and the public by and large, to reflect upon and overcome their own internalised prejudices towards old age, as well as to become more familiar with the developmental tasks of this stage in the life cycle, including life review processes. It also aims to inspire older adults to live as healthily as possible all the way to the very end.
Group relations organisations and conferences as a fractal of society: how group relations work in different countries has been shaped by national variables of history, economics, politics, culture, and geography
Authors: Bakaitis Raymond
Published: December 2023

This article follows the Eric Miller memorial lecture given on 1 April 2023. Based on interviews with many group relations practitioners worldwide, the article explores how group relations organisations and conferences are shaped by national variables of history, economics, politics, culture, and geography. Links between current practices in organisations and the connection of those practices to background forces are suggested. The significance of the patrons of group relations work, geography, religion and spirituality, trauma, and origin stories for the development of organisations and conferences are examined. Some current worldwide system dynamics are explored. The author's identity as an American, White man, and its relevance to the research is considered.
The shame of knowing and not knowing: race and social class group dynamics
Authors: McRae Mary B.
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this article is to reflect on how racial and cultural stereotypes so deeply embedded in our daily experiences frame and impact our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. There are moments interpersonally and in groups when embedded assumptions and stereotypes seem to clash at the boundaries of social identities and roles, a space that can be shaming because we think we should know better. In this article I share journal entries of a group of women who I invited to work with me on a research team. I offer journals of our experiences of difficult moments at the boundaries of race, ethnicity, and social class as opportunities for learning. The journals provided an opportunity to share often unspoken thoughts and feelings about our racial and cultural points of disconnection.
Leading hybrid organisations: the contribution of "leadership beacons", emotional transcendence, and transitional space to cross organisational collaboration
Authors: Nagel Claudia
Published: December 2023

Hybrid organisations contribute to solving wicked problems arising from societal issues stemming from public health, climate change, or crime. They combine at least two organisations with different institutional logics, cultures, and identities. Their collaboration across boundaries is characterised by conflicts and paradoxical tensions due to the inherent coopetition paradox arising from the need to maintain their organisational identities. My research with a Dutch public–private partnership (PPP) fighting large-scale financial crime focuses on the understanding of emotional reactions of management and leadership to these conflicts and paradoxical tensions. In a preliminary study used as a foundation I demonstrated together with colleagues that emotional transcendence is a key ingredient in facilitating collaboration. In this presented study I found that "leadership beacons", i.e.leaders with a clear and pronounced value-based leadership approach which illuminate the path towards collaboration are creating this emotional transcendence. In this article I want to first show how leadership beacons create this emotional transcendence by offering a transitional space. As a result, emotional trust and thus collaboration are strengthened. Some resulting practical advice for leaders will follow and I will conclude this article with a discussion of the results and an outlook for future research.
Wow, look how Zoos Victoria is tackling the challenges at the frontline of climate change— other mobs can learn from this
Authors: Martin Fiona
Published: December 2023

The work of Zoos Victoria to prevent extinction of species is critical and challenging. Emotionally difficult work has the capacity to distract an organisation from its task, yet Zoos Victoria is able to focus and deliver on its primary purpose. The article expands on Jane Chapman's theory of "Corruption and hatred of task" (1999) and "Guarding against corruption" (2019) to understand how well Zoos Victoria organises itself. I propose that the theory may be extended in two ways:
First, ambivalence may contribute to the hatred of task. Workers both enjoy and hate holding animals in captivity.
Second, the worker's practices introduce an extension to Chapman's frame-work for guarding against corruption of task. Staff are aided by animals in coping with the challenges of the work.
Chapman's theory contributes to understanding why Zoos Victoria remains true to purpose and is able to carry out its work effectively. This extension also provides understanding for improving the experiences of workers in general. Climate change is increasing the intensity of challenge and disruption for many organisations worldwide. As a case study Zoos Victoria offers a signal for other organisations needing to meet these emerging challenges.

З метою проведення дослідження здійснено детальний аналіз як низки вагомих вітчизняних наукових праць, так і нормативної бази. Проведено аналіз визначення та сутності основних понять з позиції теорії, виокремлено етапи формування ІКК з огляду на практику. Наголошено, що від рівня професійної компетентності кожного сучасного державного службовця залежить ефективність функціонування державної служби загалом. Вказано, що обов’язковим складником професійної компетентності фахівців сфери цивільного захисту є комунікативна компетентність (далі – КК). Розглянуто поняття КК та наведено його компоненти; окреслено профіль КК державного службовця з його складовими і зазначено, що у своєму складі він містить загальні (стосуються володіння державною мовою) та спеціальні (стосуються володіння іноземною мовою) комунікативні навички. Проаналізовано сутність ІКК. Показано взаємозв’язок та пряму дотичність ІКК до професійної підготовки та діяльності фахівців сфери цивільного захисту. Доведено, що іншомовна комунікативна компетентність є важливим компонентом професійної підготовки сучасних фахівців сфери цивільного захисту для подальшого застосування набутих знань, умінь, навичок та особистісних якостей в іншомовному середовищі, здійснення міжмовної, міжкультурної та міжособистісної комунікації. З’ясовано, що формування ІКК відбуваєься за такого рівня володіння іноземною мовою, який дає змогу використовувати її для задоволення професійних потреб, реалізації особистих ділових контактів і подальшої професійної самоосвіти та самовдосконалення. Автори перелічили фактори, які можуть завадити процесу формування ІКК.

Background: The diagnosis and management of chronic diseases, such as Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), are significant for the quality of life of parents. In addition, several factors contribute to the quality of life of parents whose children battle ALL, including characteristics, duration of childcare, mental health, and family functioning. Therefore, this study aims to identify factors influencing the quality of life of parents whose children have ALL at the Childhood Cancer International Foundation in Jakarta. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 109 parents at the Childhood Cancer International Foundation as respondents. The assessment tools used included a Characteristics questionnaire, Self-Rating Questionnaire-20, APGAR Questionnaire, and WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire. Additionally, collected data were subjected to univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis. Results: Among the 109 respondents with an average age of 38 years and mean childcare duration of 28 months, 66.1% were females, 100% believed in God, 73.4% had partners, 47.7% possessed higher education, 83.5% earned below the regional minimum wage, 66.1% experienced mental health problems, and 11.9% had family dysfunction. Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between gender, mental health, and quality of life (p<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that marital status, education, economic status, and family functioning significantly correlated with quality of life. Conclusions: In conclusion, gender, marital status, education, economic status, mental health, and family functioning were found to exert a significant influence on the quality of life of parents raising children with ALL.
Statutory Corporate Tax Rates and Income Distribution — Panel Data From 95 Countries Using Driscoll and Kraay Standard Errors and Quantile via Moments
Authors: Parsons Brandon
Published: December 2023

The study uses the statutory corporate tax rate to explain before and after tax and transfer income distribution. The unbalanced panel has 95 countries from 1988 to 2018. The study uses Driscoll & Kraay standard errors and Quantile Via Moments. The study finds higher corporate tax rates appear to lessen income inequality in most cases, small coefficients suggest it is minor and insignificant for after-tax and transfer income distribution in developed countries. Furthermore, in an augmented model with fewer observations spanning 1988 to 2005, the average rate of personal income tax progressivity significantly reduces net income inequality while the statutory corporate tax rate is insignificant. Therefore, findings may indicate increases in personal income tax rate progressivity may be more effective policy tools than changes in statutory corporate tax rates to moderate growing income inequality.

Purpose: 1) To characterize the glucose and blood pressure control in HLS adult participants based on four body composition phenotypes models from the Chilean National Health Survey 2016-17. 2) to associate the HLS and body composition phenotypes (based on calf and waist circumference [WC]) with arterial hypertension and diabetes markers. Method: A quantitative cross-sectional study based on the Chilean National Health Survey 2016-17, reporting adults with/without HLS based on four different phenotypes was carried out by the epidemiological group of the Institute of Rehabilitation and Exercise Sciences of the Universidad Andres bello, Chile (ICER-UNAB). Groups were as follows; Low skeletal muscle [SMM] and high waist circumference [WC] (Lsmm−Hwc, n=278), Low SMM and low WC (Lsmm−Lwc, n=479), High SMM and high WC (Hsmm−Hwc, n=2140), and High SMM and low WC (Hsmm−Lwc, n=2709). The primary outcomes were fasting plasma glucose, systolic, and diastolic blood pressure. Findings: In systolic blood pressure, there were significant differences between each Lsmm−Hwc (150 vs. 123 mmHg), Lsmm−Lwc (140 vs. 123 mmHg), and Hsmm−Hwc vs. the Reference group (145 vs. 123 mmHg, all P<0.0001). Systolic blood pressure reported significant Group x HLS interaction F (3.33), P=0.019, ES 0.004. In diastolic blood pressure, there were significant differences between each Lsmm−Hwc (74 vs. 72 mmHg) and Hsmm−Hwc vs. the Reference group (76 vs. 72 mmHg, both P<0.0001). Diastolic blood pressure reported significant Group x HLS interaction F (4.49), P=0.004, ES 0.005. Chilean adults with HLS, low SMM and high waist circumference shows a higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
An Investigation on Flow Structure and Heat Transfer Characteristics of Confined Impinging Twin Jets
Authors: ÖZMEN Yücel , KELEŞ Haluk
Published: December 2023

An investigation into the heat transfer performance and flow characteristics of circular twin jets was conducted using both numerical and experimental methods. The jets emanated from the lower surface and were confined to impinge perpendicularly on the upper surface. To simulate the bidimensional impinging twin jet flow field with powerful turbulence and heat transfer, Realizable k-ε and Standard k-ω turbulence models were employed. Reynolds numbers ranging from 30000 to 50000 were used in both simulations and experiments, with jet-to-jet spacing ranging from 0.5 to 2 and nozzles to target impingement plate spacing in the same range. Sub-atmospheric pressure regions were detected on the impingement surface in experimental measurements for spacing up to 1, whereas numerical results suggested that they could be found at all nozzle to target impingement plate spacings studied. A correlation was discovered between the peaks in coefficients of heat transfer on the target surface and the sub-atmospheric regions in pressure distributions.
