An asymmetric Friedel-Crafts C2-alkylation between 3-substituted indoles and imines catalyzed by chiral BINOL-derived disulfonimides (DSIs) has been developed. This reaction tolerated a wide range of 3-substituted indoles and imines, affording...

The basic principle and numerical technique for simulating two three-dimensional bubbles near a free surface are studied in detail by using boundary element method. The singularities of influence coefficient matrix are eliminated using coordinate transformation and so-called 4π rule. The solid angle for the open surface is treated in direct method based on its definition. Several kinds of configurations for the bubbles and free surface have been investigated. The pressure contours during the evolution of bubbles are obtained in our model and can better illuminate the mechanism underlying the motions of bubbles and free surface. The bubble dynamics and their interactions have close relation with the standoff distances, buoyancy parameters and initial sizes of bubbles. Completely different bubble shapes, free surface motions, jetting patterns and pressure distributions under different parameters can be observed in our model, as demonstrated in our calculation results.

Based on the second viscosity, the local differential quadrature (LDQ) method is applied to solve shock tube problems. It is shown that it is necessary to consider the second viscosity to calculate shocks and to simulate shock tubes based on the viscosity model. The roles of the shear viscous stress and the second viscous stress are checked. The results show that the viscosity model combined with the LDQ method can capture the main characteristics of shocks, and this technique is objective and simple.
