Simulating Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer Using Dissipative Particle Dynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
Dissipative particle dynamics is a relatively new technique for simulating fluid flow at meso scales that is more computationally efficient but at the same time able to reproduce some of the detail of molecular dynamics simulations. This report gives an introduction to the background of the technique, along with examples of applications in the fields of microfluidics, hydrodynamic behaviour at meso scale, and heat transfer. It is shown that dissipative particle dynamics is able to reproduce hydrodynamic behaviour as well as solve simple heat transfer problems. The technique has a large potential to be used in applications where fluid flow is taking place on meso scale where conventional computational fluid dynamics might not be a suitable choice. Two examples of simulations following the approaches of references given in the open literature related to hydrodynamics are also

Soret and chemical reaction effects on a three-dimensional MHD convective flow of dissipative fluid along an infinite vertical porous plate
An analytical study was performed to study effects of thermo-diffusion and chemical reactions on a three-dimensional MHD mixed convective flow of dissipative fluid along an infinite vertical porous plate with transverse sinusoidal suction velocity. The parabolic partial differential equations governing the fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer were solved using perturbation technique and...
متن کاملComputational fluid dynamics simulation of the flow patterns and performance of conventional and dual-cone gas-particle cyclones
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...
