Convergent Science. Convergent Science is an engineering software company which has its headquarters in Madison, Wisconsin. The company develops and supports CONVERGE CFD software, a general purpose computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver.

Company history 

Convergent Science was founded in 1997 by a group of graduate students, including Eric Pomraning, Keith Richards, Peter Kelly Senecal, Daniel Lee, and David Schmidt, at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Initially a computational fluid dynamics consulting company, Convergent Science became a computational fluid dynamics computer software company in 2008 with the release of its CONVERGE CFD software.

Besides the headquarters in Madison, Wisconsin, the company has additional offices in the United States, Europe, and India. Additionally, Convergent Science is partnered with the Japan-based company IDAJ to distribute and support CONVERGE in Japan, Korea, and China.

Software 
CONVERGE CFD software is a multi-purpose computational fluid dynamics code for modeling three-dimensional, reacting or non-reacting, turbulent flows. The software package includes coupled flow and detailed chemical kinetics solvers, the graphical user interface CONVERGE Studio, and a license for a limited version of the post-processing and visualization software Tecplot.

CONVERGE features an automated meshing algorithm that generates an orthogonal mesh at runtime and employs Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) to refine the mesh during the simulation in areas with complex phenomena, like moving geometries or fluctuating temperatures or flow velocities. The company refers to this meshing process as "autonomous meshing".

The modeling capabilities of CONVERGE include steady-state and transient simulations for incompressible or compressible flows. The software contains a variety of physical models for phenomena including turbulence, spray, conjugate heat transfer, multi-phase flow, fluid-structure interaction, and surface chemistry.

CONVERGE has been applied for modeling internal combustion engines, fuel injectors, gas turbines, pumps, compressors, and engine after treatment systems. More than 700 peer-reviewed journal articles containing CONVERGE results have been published on these topics.

Users of the software include automotive companies, the motor racing industry, universities, government, and corporate organizations. CONVERGE has been used in the development process for various high-profile projects, including Mazda's SKYACTIV-X, a highly efficient gasoline compression ignition engine, and Ford's EcoBlue diesel engine. Argonne National Laboratory, Caterpillar, and Cummins have employed CONVERGE in several projects aimed toward increasing the fuel efficiency of internal combustion engines. In addition, Intel and Roush Yates Engines work with CONVERGE to design high-performance racing engines.

Flying Aces (roller coaster). Flying Aces is a steel roller coaster at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It was manufactured by Intamin and opened on 24 February 2016. It is the second Wing Coaster manufactured by Intamin and reaches a height of , has a maximum speed of , and features  of track. For safety reasons, the ride has a height restriction (130–196 cm) in place.

Characteristics
Flying Aces is themed after Francesco Baracca, an Italian flying ace who was the designer and first user of Ferrari's logo, the Prancing Horse. Its queue depicts scenes of World War I air combat, and includes a hangar, barracks, training camp, and projected mural of airplanes flying in the sky. The ride's trains are made to look like biplanes.

Ride experience
Immediately upon leaving the station, riders begin to ascend the  cable lift hill at an angle of 51 degrees and a speed of . The train then descends the main drop, reaching a maximum speed of . Immediately after the drop, the train then turns right and enters a  non-inverting loop. The train then travels through several banked turns and hills before entering a heartline roll near the end of the ride. Shortly after the heartline roll, the train enters the final brake run.

Trains
The trains used on Flying Aces feature seven rows, each seating four riders. This makes for a total capacity of 28 riders per train. Flying Aces is the second Wing Coaster by Intamin, following Skyrush at Hersheypark.

Aichi Experimental Type 15-Ko Reconnaissance Seaplane (Mi-go). The Aichi Experimental Type 15-Ko Reconnaissance Seaplane (Mi-go) was a prototype reconnaissance seaplane built by Aichi in the mid-1920s.

Design and development
The Mi-Go was built in response to an Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) requirement for a reconnaissance seaplane to replace the Hansa-Brandenburg W.33 in IJN service. The W.33 had been acquired by the IJN in 1922 but was unpopular with crews due to poor handling and limited visibility afloat. The Mi-Go differed from the W.33 in having floats connected to the wings, a wooden airframe, fabric covered wings, and much lighter weight. Four prototypes of the Mi-Go were built; tests of which showed it to be longitudinally unstable in flight, although the first prototype used Dornier bench-type aileron balances, and the IJN selected the rival Nakajima Type 15 Reconnaissance Seaplane (E2N) for production instead.

Thomas-Morse MB-1. The Thomas-Morse MB-1 was an open-cockpit monoplane fighter manufactured by Thomas-Morse Aircraft for the U.S. Army Air Service in 1918.

Development
The MB-1 was designed by B. Douglas Thomas as a high wing parasol monoplane. Powered by a Liberty 12 engine, the MB-1 flew only once, and the weight of the Liberty 12 proved so heavy for the aircraft that the landing gear collapsed while the MB-1 was taxiing for another flight.

Cybertecture Egg. The Cybertecture Egg is a 13-story commercial building located in Bandra kurla complex Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Architect James Law designed the Cybertecture Egg along with Ove Arup's building systems and engineering firm. The building was designed with sustainability in mind and has 33,000 sqm of office space, an elevated garden, and three levels of basement with 400 parking spaces, all in about 15% less space than a traditional office building. The structure of the Cybertecture Egg uses a diagrid exoskeleton, which forms a rigid structural system and allows it to be built with less building material than a traditional orthogonal building. The building will use wind turbines and solar photovoltaic panels to generate onsite electricity. There is also a greywater recycling system which uses water for landscaping and irrigation.

Frank–Van der Merwe growth. Frank–Van der Merwe growth (FM growth) is one of the three primary modes by which thin films grow epitaxially at a crystal surface or interface. It is also known as 'layer-by-layer growth'. It is considered an ideal growth model, requiring perfect lattice matching between the substrate and the layer growing on to it, and it is usually limited to homoepitaxy. For FM growth to occur, the atoms that are to be deposited should be more attracted to the substrate than to each other, which is in contrast to the layer-plus-island growth model. FM growth is the preferred growth model for producing smooth films.

It was first described by South African physicist Jan van der Merwe and British physicist Frederick Charles Frank in a series of four papers based on Van der Merwe's PhD research between 1947 and 1949.

Subaé River. The Subaé River () is a river in Bahia state of Brazil. It has its source in the city of Feira de Santana and runs  to the mouth at the Baía de Todos os Santos. The river was used by the Portuguese to create a large-scale sugarcane production in the Recôncavo region. The city of Santo Amaro was built on terraced land above the river. It has a single tributary, the Serjimirim River.

Pollution

The Subaé River is polluted along much of its course, notably by lead, zinc, and cadmium. Lead pollution originated in industrial sewage of a processing facility owned by the Companhia Brasileira de Chumbo, now defunct.
