Transient simulation of laser beam propagation through turbulent cutting gas flow

Numerical Simulation of Turbulent Subsonic Compressible Flow through Rectangular Microchannel

In this study, turbulent compressible gas flow in a rectangular micro-channel is numerically investigated. The gas flow assumed to be in the subsonic regime up to Mach number about 0.7. Five low and high Reynolds number RANS turbulence models are used for modeling the turbulent flow. Two types of mesh are generated depending on the employed turbulence model. The computations are performed for R...

Investigation of Coherent and Incoherent Laser Beams Propagation Through Turbulent Atmosphere

In this paper propagation of combined laser beam through atmosphere is investigated. Laser beam is combined via lens array arrangement. Turbulence is considered as an affecting factor of atmosphere and its effects on transverse coherence length (Fried parameter), peak intensity, propagation efficiency, and spot size of the laser beam is investigated. Coherent and incoherent combined beam are co...

Analyzing the Propagation Behavior of a Gaussian Laser Beam through Seawater and Comparing with Atmosphere

Study of the beam propagation behavior through oceanic media is a challenging subject. In this paper, based on generalized Collins integral, the mean irradiance profile of Gaussian laser beam propagation through ocean is investigated. Power In Special Bucket (PIB) is calculated. Using analytical expressions and calculating seawater transmission, the effects of absorption and scattering on beam ...

Simulation of Detonation Propagation in Turbulent Gas-Solid Reactive Mixtures

The present study focuses on the simulation of highly reactive two-phase flows associated with detonations. A hybrid scheme, that combines a high-order shock-capturing method and a second/fourth-order accurate, low dissipation scheme is first validated by simulating blast wave discharges and shock-vortex interaction. The Large-Eddy Simulation model used in the present formulation is considered ...
