Crosslinked polyester clay nanocomposites were prepared by dispersing originically modified montmorillonite in prepromoted polyester resin and subsequently crosslinked using methyl ethyl ketone peroxide catalyst at different clay concentration. Cure process and the mechanical properties of rubber toughened polyester clay composite have been studied

Finite volume form of Flowfield Dependent Variation (FDV) method was implemented into upwind scheme in order to solve one-dimensional Euler equations. The implementation of FDV method was motivated by its ability in solving the transition and interaction between different flow regimes based on the so-called FDV parameters which are dependent to the
