hi all, i'm experiencing some unwanted whitespace related to a section head. the whitespace is present when using lua (texexec --lua funk.tex) and absent when using mkII (texexec funk.tex). i've confirmed the correct mkII behaviour on the garden's live tool, and my own minimals installation: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.60.1-2010050621 (rev 3678) \write18 enabled. (funk.tex ConTeXt ver: 2010.05.13 12:15 MKIV fmt: 2010.5.21 int: english/english if you run the document below on mkII, you'll see that the first text on each slide is right up against the top of the text area. this is good. if you use my version of luatex, a line is skipped. why the difference? i'm not actually using anything lua (i've just started using Context in the past weeks, and i've got a conference presentation due in 3 days, so i've got weird habits. i'm just now getting my head around the copious amounts of documentation for the system, and all the differences between context, luatex, pdftex, mkII, mkIV, and all the other new terms), so i'll probably just "texexec funk.tex" as a workaround. /however/, when i get some free time, i'll be playing with lua, and i'd like it to work right. i've been a latex user since my undergrad a couple of years ago, and i just found metapost maybe one month ago. what an eye opener! i love programming and i love making dorky little vector images... it's the perfect marriage! maybe somebody bright can shed some light on this? thanks everybody, adam % author: adam fuller % date: 24/5/2010 % description: why does placehead=no,page=yes in \definehead push % the first line of a slide down by one? when a slide is too long % and breaks to another page, that page starts right up at the top, % without the annoying extra whitespace. trying to unravel it. \setupheadertexts[myslide][] \setupheader[state=start] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \definehead[myslide][subsubsection] \setuphead[myslide][style=slanted,placehead=no,page=yes] \definestartstop[slide][ before={\page\startalignment[right,nothyphenated,hanging]\tf}, after={\stopalignment}] \starttext \showframe[text]% \showframe[header]% \myslide{}% \midaligned\framed[location=middle,align=center,offset=none,frame=off]{ %\blank[2*big,force] {\bfa Adam Fuller} \blank[1*big,force] {\em from} \blank[1*big,force] {\bfa U.

By \em{adapting}, I mean taking an existing design \em{philosophy} to a new design \em{point}. This \em{philosophy} is just a list of rules that reflect the turbines' intended use: \startitemize \item no guide vanes \item run at 1500~rev/min only \item use flat blades \stopitemize \myslide{New design point, new challenges} The paper discusses how increasing the specific speed may impact on the design of such a turbine's three main components. The adapted version of each component brings its own challenges. At higher $N_S$ \startitemize \item draft tube performance is increasingly important. How sensitive is its performance to the inputs in this particular case? \item velocity triangles at the runner's leading and trailing edge become less forgiving to uncertainty (dimensional and fluid dynamical) \item the volute's priority changes from \quote{provide swirl $x$} to \quote{provide uniform axial flow at mimimum loss}. How must the design change? \stopitemize \myslide{For this presentation} To illuminate these three points, I worked up a CFD study related to each component. To summarize the studies: \startitemize \item Draft tube: $C_p = f({\rm swirl}, \theta)$. What is $f$? I'll try to put my result in the context of the literature. \item Runner: from the desktop-design stage, the ratios \startformula \omega r:V_a:\Delta V_t\approx 8:4:1, \stopformula are expected to cause problems with sensitivity of output and efficiency to speed. I'll talk about how my CFD results suprised me. \item Volute: Trying to reconcile the need for predictable axial runner inlet flow, low loss, and no flow-spanning vanes or struts has led to an adaptation of previous Giddens volutes. I'll talk about the changes that were made, and show that the new volute looks to meet the requirements. \stopitemize \stoptext
