Measurement on a Rod-like Material with Orientation in Swirling Flow

Experimental Studies on Swirling Flow in a Vertical Circular Tube

Swirling flows are related to the spiral motion in the tangential direction in addition to the axial and radial direction using several swirl generators. These type of flows are used in combustion chambers to improve flame stability, heat exchanger to enhance heat transfer coefficients, agricultural spraying machines and some vertical pipes to move slurries or transport of materials. However, o...

Numerical Simulation of a Confined Swirling Flow in a Model Gas Turbine Combustor

On a linearisation method for Reiner-Rivlin swirling flow

The steady flow of a Reiner-Rivlin fluid with Joule heating and viscous dissipation is studied. We present a novel technique for accelerating the convergence of the spectral-homotopy analysis method. Solutions of the nonlinear momentum and energy equations are obtained using the improved spectral homotopy analysis method. Solutions were also generated using the spectral-homotopy analysis method...

On the optimum die angle in rod drawing process considering strain-hardening effect of material

In this paper, rod drawing process of strain-hardening materials is investigated by analytical, numerical and experimental methods. The classic upper bound solution, based on the assumption of perfect plasticity, has been extended to consider the work-hardening of the material during the drawing process. For a given process conditions and mechanical properties of the rod material, the power ter...
