Three Dimensional Laminar Convection Flow of Radiating Gas over a Backward Facing Step in a Duct

In this study, three-dimensional simulations are presented for laminar forced convection flow of a radiating gas over a backward-facing step in rectangular duct. The fluid is treated as a gray, absorbing, emitting and scattering medium. The three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system is used to solve the governing equations which are conservations of mass, momentum and energy. These equations...

Experimental Study and Three-Dimensional Numerical Flow Simulation in a Centrifugal Pump when Handling Viscous Fluids

In this paper the centrifugal pump performances are tested when handling water and viscous oils as Newtonian fluids. Also, this paper shows a numerical simulation of the three-dimensional fluid flow inside a centrifugal pump. For these numerical simulations the SIMPLEC algorithm is used for solving governing equations of incompressible viscous/turbulent flows through the pump. The k-ε turbulenc...

Experimental and Numerical Design and Investigation of Flow Field in a Three- Dimensional Artificial Heart Model

Artificial heart devices are required to satisfy high functionality and bio-compatibility demands for successful use. Although the experimental studies play an important role in the design of artificial heart devices, they can provide flow characteristics for limited regions of the flow field. Detailed knowledge of the flow quantities can help the design engineer to improve the artificial heart...

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of the Three- dimensional Flow at Expiration in the Upper Human Airways

This study presents a comparison of numerical and experimental results of the steady flow field in the left main-bronchus of the upper human airways during exhalation. Stereo-particle-image velocimetry measurements were performed in multiple parallel measurement planes for a Reynolds number ofRe = 700based on the hydraulic diameter of the trachea to determine the highly three-dimensional flow i...
