Riabouchinsky Flow with Partially Penetrable Obstacle
The investigation of hydrodynamic models with partially penetrable obstacles has been initiated by the recent progress in the development of free flow turbines [l] for the purpose of estimating their efficiency limit [2]. In the previous paper [3], an explicitly solvable analog of the Kirchhoff cavitation flow was obtained. As in the classical situation, the main deficiency of the Kirchhoff mod...
متن کاملClassical free-streamline flow over a polygonal obstacle
In classical Kirchhoff flow, an ideal incompressible fluid flows past an obstacle and around a motionless wake bounded by free streamlines. Since 1869 it has been known that in principle, the two-dimensional Kirchhoff flow over a polygonal obstacle can be determined by constructing a conformal map onto a polygon in the log-hodograph plane. In practice, however, this idea has rarely been put to ...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of the Rotor Blades of Small Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine
Since the renewable resources of energy have become extremely important, especially wind energy, scientists have begun to modify the design of the wind turbine components, mainly rotor blades. Aerodynamic design considered a major research field related to power production of a small horizontal wind turbine, especially in low wind speed locations. This study displays an approach to the selectio...
متن کاملEnhancement of Heat Transfer over a Double Forward Facing Step with Square Obstacle through Taguchi’s Optimization Technique
In this paper, the heat transfer to the fluid, passing through the double forward facing step (FFS) channel with square obstacle is enhanced by Taguchi’s S/N ratio analysis. Flow through the forward facing step channel has a wide range of applications in thermal systems due to its flow separation and subsequent reattachment, which in turn enhances the heat transfer. Flow separation and reattach...
متن کاملApplication of Single Objective Genetic Algorithm to Optimize Heat Transfer Enhancement from a Flat Plate
The optimal shape of a two dimensional turbulator above an isothermal flat plate is found by using numerical simulation. The turbulent boundary layer over the flat plate was disrupted at various situations by inserting a quadrilateral bar where the boundary layer thickness kept more than three times greater than the insert\'s height. As a result, the overall heat transfer coefficient of the wal...
