Experimental determination and computational fluid dynamics predictions of pressure loss in close-coupled elbows (RP-1682)

Experimental study and application of computational fluid dynamics on the prediction of air velocity and temperature in a ventilated chamber

The shape of the air flow in the interior is heavily influenced by the air distribution system and the way air enters and exits. By numerically simulating flow by computational fluid dynamics, one can determine the flow pattern and temperature distribution and, with the help of the results, provide an optimal design of the air conditioning system. In this study, a chamber was first constructed ...

Detailed Computational and Experimental Fluid Dynamics of Fluid Beds

To describe the hydrodynamic phenomena prevailing in large industrial scale fluidised beds continuum models are required. The flow in these systems depends strongly on particle-particle interaction and gas-particle interaction. For this reason proper closure relations for these two interactions are vital for reliable predictions on the basis of continuum models. Gas-particle interaction can be ...

Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation and Experimental Validation of Hydraulic Performance of a Vertical Suspended API Pump (RESEARCH NOTE)

For a long period of time, design and manufacturing technology of high flow rated vertically suspended pumps (VSPs) which have an extensive applications in many industries such as water and wastewater, mining, petrochemical and oil and gas industries, used to be imported from European countries. For the first time in Iran's pump industry, with the support of Ministry of Petrochemical[ah1]  and ...

Hydrodynamic Improvement of underwater glider by Computational Fluid Dynamics method

Gliders are new marine vehicles which have research and military uses and they move by sequent diving and climbing. Suitable design of its main body and wings are important for the most advance velocity. hydrodynamic design variables are main body form, wings (cross section, dimensions, shape, longitudinal and vertical position) and hydrostatic parameters (static trim angle, amount of added for...
