A model of water streaking down a wall
نویسنده
چکیده
Rainwater streaking down a vertical wall exhibited the characteristics of “fingered flow.” The wall serves as an analogy to film flow in a relatively smooth and wide aperture fracture. A digital photograph of the wall suggests that the vertical distribution of water is heavy-tailed. A fractional-order advection-dispersion equation is used as a model.

A Characteristic-based Solution of Forced and Free Convection in Closed Domains with Emphasis on Various Fluids
In this paper, forced and free convection in the cavity is simulated numerically with complex boundary conditions. Temperature changes sinusoidally at the upper and right walls and the temperature of the other walls is kept at zero. The effects of Prandtl and Grashof numbers variations on flow patterns are surveyed. A wide range of materials, e.g. molten metals, gases, water, and coolant liquid...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Free Surface in the Case of Plane Turbulent Wall Jets in Shallow Tailwater
Wall-jet flow is an important flow field in hydraulic engineering, and its applications include flow from the bottom outlet of dams and sluice gates. In this paper, the plane turbulent wall jet in shallow tailwater is simulated by solving the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations using the standard turbulence closure model. This study aims to explore the ability of a time splitting method ...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Forced Convection of Nanofluids by a Two-Component Nonhomogeneous Model
Nanofluids, in which nano-sized particles (typically less than 100 nm) are suspended in liquids, have emerged as a possible effective way of improving the heat transfer performance of common fluids. In this paper a numerical study is performed to analyze the wall shear stress and heat transfer coefficient of γAl2O3-water nanofluids under laminar forced convection through a circular pipe. It is ...
