Numerical investigation of thermal mixing of shear thinning fluids in one-way opposing jets
In recent years, impinging streams have received increasing interest for their high efficiency in heat and mass transfer. This numerical study was conducted to investigate flow and heat transfer characteristics of one-way opposing jets of non-Newtonian fluids. Effects of Reynolds number impinging angle, momentum ratio and flow behavior index on mixing index were evaluated. The results showed im...
متن کاملNumerical Modeling of Saline Gravity Currents Using EARSM and Buoyant k- Turbulence Closures
Gravity currents are very common in nature and may appear in rivers, lakes, oceans, and the atmosphere. They are produced by the buoyant forces interacting between fluids of different densities and may introduce sediments and pollutants into water bodies. In this study, the hydrodynamics and propagation of gravity currents are investigated using WISE (Width Integrated Stratified Environments), ...

متن کاملVISJET & VISFLOOD: Software for Environmental Hydraulic Modeling and Visualization
We present two general interactive PC-based modeling and visualization software systems developed for the study of two types of environmental water flows: buoyant jet mixing and urban drainage problems. VISJET (http://www.aoe-water.hku.hk/visjet) is arguably the most robust software with advanced graphics for the prediction of mixing and transport of effluent discharges into a stratified crossf...
