On internal fluid dynamics

چکیده
Motivated by a range of applications (biomedical, industrial, engineering, environmental) this contribution is focussed on a mathematical study of (a) constriction/distortion and (b) branching in a vessel or network of vessels containing fluid flow. The central interest addressed is in medium-to-high Reynolds numbers where asymptotic approaches and matching yield much insight. The main reasoning, order arguments and scaling factors within various parts of the vessels are presented. Theory and corresponding analysis are described for aspect (a) in symmetric and nonsymmetric cases and aspect (b) over short or long length scaleswith orwithout viscous–inviscid interactions, where attention is given to side-branching, large networks, viscous wall layers, flow reversal, eddies and upstream influence. Three-dimensional effects for (a) and (b) are also investigated. A final discussion includes suggestions of future project topics.

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has recently become an alternative and promising computational fluid dynamics approach for simulating complex fluid flows. Despite its enormous success in many practical applications, the standard LBM is restricted to the lattice uniformity in the physical space. This is the main drawback of the standard LBM for flow problems with complex geometry. Several app...

In the study, the thermal-hydraulic performance of the zigzag channels with circular cross-section was analyzed by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The standard K-Ꜫ turbulent scalable wall functions were used for modeling. The wall temperature was assumed constant 353 K and water was used as the working fluid. The zigzag serpentine channels with bend angles of 5 - 45° were studied for turbul...
متن کاملInvestigation of stepped planning hull hydrodynamics using computational fluid dynamics and response surface method
The use of step at the bottom of the hull is one of the effective factors in reducing the resistance and increasing the stability of the Planning hull. The presence of step at the bottom of this type of hulls creates a separation in the flow, which reduces the wet surface on the hull, thus reducing the drag on the body, as well as reducing the dynamic trim. In this study, a design space was cre...
متن کاملEffect of Filter Inhomogeneity on Deep-Bed Filtration Process – A CFD Investigation
Aerosol filtration in fibrous filters is one of the principal methods of removal of solid particles from the gas stream. The classical theory of depth filtration is based on the assumption of existing single fiber efficiency, which may be used to the recalculation of the overall efficiency of the entire filter. There are several reasons for inappropriate estimation of the single fi...

One of the main concerns of researchers is the separation of suspended particles in a fluid. Accordingly, the current study numerically investigated the effects of a conical section on the flow pattern of a Stairmand cyclone by simulating single-cone and dual-cone cyclones. A turbulence model was used to analyze incompressible gas-particle flow in the cyclone models, and the Eulerian–Lagrangian...
