Round 2: after placing the folder at one the side of the screen, add two more apps to the folder.

Round 4: move top left and 3rd icons from the 2nd screen to another, new folder
Each round should be timed.
If you are proud with your result, all good.

On the flow topology of swirl jets upon impingement
Jet impingement enhances heat transfer and is characterised by the complex flow patterns formed when a jet impacts a plate aligned normal to it. While traditional round jet impingement has been extensively studied to understand flow and associated heat transfer, there is still room for research in investigating flow structures in swirl jet impingement. This paper focuses on the flow topology of swirl jets generated by a 45-degree vane swirler, impinging on a flat plate studied at dimensionless …

We introduce safe bidding strategies as those that satisfy RoI constraints in every auction, regardless o…
