[ 1 ] - Development of a phase change model for volume-of-fluid method in OpenFOAM
In this present study, volume of fluid method in OpenFOAM open source CFD package will be extended to consider phase change phenomena with modified model due to condensation and boiling processes. This model is suitable for the case in which both unsaturated phase and saturated phase are present and for beginning boiling and condensation process needn't initial interface. Both phases (liquid-va...
[ 2 ] - Investigation of purge time in cathodic dead-end mode PEMFC
Recently, special type of fuel cells has been developed that operates in a Dead End mode. Working in this condition, the Dead-End fuel cell is supplied withhydrogen almost at the same rate of consumption. It is noteworthy to mention thatall of the water transport mechanisms have been considered in this simulation.Water accumulation that is directly proportional to the cell current is of a grea...
[ 3 ] - تحلیل اکسرژی و عملکرد آیرودینامیکی توربین ولز در نزدیکی واماندگی
این مطالعه، یک تحلیل قانون دوم از جریان همدمای عبوری از یک توربین ولز را ارائه می‌دهد. محاسبات عددی با حل معادلات ناویر-استوکس رینولدز متوسط پایا، تراکم‌ناپذیر و سه‌بعدی با مدل آشفتگی اسپالارت-آلماراس در کد اوپن‌فوم انجام شده‌اند. به منظور راستی‌آزمایی حلگر اوپن‌فوم، مقدار گشتاور بی‌بعد شده با داده‌های تجربی و عددی موجود در طیف گسترده‌ای از ضرایب جریان، مقایسه شده است. مشاهده شد که نتایج شبیه‌س...
[ 4 ] - Numerical study of turbulent forced convection jet flow of nanofluid in a converging sinusoidal channel
Research in convective heat transfer using suspensions of nanometer-sized solid particles in base liquids started only over the past decade. Recent investigations on nanofluid, as such suspensions are often called, indicate that the suspended nanoparticles remarkably change the transport properties and heat transfer characteristics of the suspension. Bending walls can also improve heat transfer...

[ 6 ] - The Effect of Viscous Dissipation and Variable Properties on Nanofluids Flow in Two Dimensional Microchannels
Laminar two dimensional forced convective heat transfer of Al2O3 –water nanofluid in a horizontal microchannel has been studied numerically, considering axial conduction, viscous dissipation and variable properties effects. The existing criteria in the literature for considering viscous dissipation in energy equation are compared for different cases and the most proper one is applied for the re...
