CALCULATION OF NON LIFTING POTENTIAL FLOW USING DESINGULARIZED CAUCHY\'S FORMULA

Abstract:

This paper discusses the disturbance velocity and potential as well as the total velocity formulation for non lifting potential flow problem. The problem is derived based on the Cauchy method formulation. The adding and subtracting back technique is used to desingularize the integral equations. The desingularized boundary integral equations are then discretized. The discretized equations can be evaluated using an arbitrary high order Gaussian quadrature or any other numerical integration method. Numerical examples for ellipse and Joukowski airfoil are calculated and compared with the analytical solution. It is shown that the usage of a desingularized Cauchy's formula in potential flow computation leads to an efficient and an accurate determination of the velocity and pressure on the body surface.

Two Phase Flow Pressure Drop Calculation Using Homogeneous Equilibrium Model

Although two-phase flow is frequently encountered in various location of the process plants, there is no a general accepted and verified two-phase flow model that may be used to size lines for such conditions. An obvious example is condensate water return lines. The API method that used in this study is based on the homogeneous equilibrium flow assumption, that is, equal velocity and equal temp...

Three-dimensional Desingularized Boundary Integral Methods for Potential Problems

The concept of desingularization in three-dimensional boundary integral computations is re-examined. The boundary integral equation is desingularized by moving the singular points away from the boundary and outside the problem domain. We show that the desingularization gives better solutions to several problems. As a result of desingularization, the surface integrals can be evaluated by simpler...

CFD-Calculation of Fluid Flow in a

An accurate description of the fluid flow and heat transfer within a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR), for the safety analysis and reactor performance is always desirable. In this paper a mathematical model of the fundamental physical phenomena which are associated to a typical PWR is presented. The mathematical model governs the fluid dynamics in the reactor. Using commercial software CFX, a co...

Optic flow calculation using robust statistics

A method for calculating optic flow, using robust statistics, is developed. The method generally out-performs all competing methods in terms of accuracy. One of the key features in the success of this method, is that we use Least Median of Squares, which is known to be robust to outliers. The computational cost is kept very low by using an approximate solution to the Least Median of Squares onl...
