Numerical Investigation on Contaminant Dispersion from a Source over the Blocks in Steady and Unsteady Flows

This paper deals with numerical study of semi-finite incompressible flow of air over two blocks with different heights in the presence of a condensing-source, dispensing- contaminant in the flow, in both steady and unsteady states. The numerical solution of governing PDE equations are constructed by a finite-volume method applied on structured grid arrangement. The effects of air flow velocity,...

Unsteady Flows in Turbines

Unsteady granular flows in a rotating tumbler.

The characteristics of steady granular flow in quasi-two-dimensional rotating tumblers have been thoroughly investigated and are fairly well understood. However, unsteady time-varying flow has not been studied in detail. The linear response of granular flow in quasi-two-dimensional rotating tumblers is presented for periodic forcing protocols via sinusoidal variation in the rotational speed of ...

Unsteady Helical Flows of a Maxwell Fluid

where T is the stress tensor, p the hydrostatic pressure, S the extra-stress tensor, A the first RivlinEricksen tensor and μ the dynamic viscosity. Many common fluids show this “Newtonian” behavior and in fact the whole discipline of classical fluid mechanics is based upon this equation. However, the constitutive equation (1) does not show any of the normal stress effects or relaxation phenomen...

developing turbulent flows in rectangular channels: a parametric study

the developing turbulent flow in an open channel is a complex three-dimensional flow influenced by the secondary currents and free surface effects and is, therefore, not amenable to analytical solution. this paper aims to study the impact of three key hydraulic parameters (relative roughness, the froude number and the reynolds number) on the establishment length using computational fluid dynami...
