Flow Visualization Around a Non - Circular Tube
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
The flow behavior around a cam shaped tube in cross flow has been investigated experimentally using flow visualization and pressure distribution measurement. The range of attack angle and Reynolds number based on an equivalent circular diameter are within 0 ≤ α ≤ 360˚ and 2 x 104 < Reeq < 3.4 x 104, respectively. The pressure drag features are clarified in relation to the flow behavior around the tube. It is found that the highest pressure drag coefficient occurs at α = 90˚ and 270˚ over the whole range of Reynolds number. Results show that the pressure drag coefficient of the cam shaped tube is lower than that of a circular tube with the same surface area for more of the angles of attack.

Three-dimensional simulations of fluid flow around a curved tube with circular section
In order to decrease the fluid dynamic forces of the U-bent tube with a circular section and avoid the occurrence of fluid-structure interaction problems, three-dimensional simulations of fluid flows around the tubes are carried out. In the case that the axis of the curved tube with the circular section is prevented from being normal to the direction of the flows approaching the tube, the forma...
متن کاملPULSATILE MOTION OF BLOOD IN A CIRCULAR TUBE OF VARYING CROSS-SECTION WITH SLIP FLOW
Pulsatile motion of blood in a circular tube of varying cross-section has been developed by considering slip flow at the tube wall and the blood to be a non- Newtonian biviscous incompressible fluid. The tube wall is supposed to be permeable and the fluid exchange across the wall is accounted for by prescribing the normal velocity of the fluid at the tube wall. The tangential velocity of the fl...
متن کاملConvective Heat Transfer of Oil Based Nanofluid Flow Inside a Circular Tube
Abstract An empirical investigation was carried out to study convective heat transfer of nanofluid flow inside an inclined copper tube under uniform heat flux condition. Required data are acquired for laminar and hydrodynamically fully developed flow inside round tube. The stable CuO-base oil nanofluid with different nanoparticle weight fractions of 0.5%, 1% and 2% was produced by means of ul...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Sediment-Laden Flow Around a Circular Cylinder
In this paper, the sediment-laden flow around a circular cylinder is numerically simulated in order to obtain better understanding of hydrodynamics associated. A range of cases with different Reynolds numbers (Re) are studies. The effects of the concentration of the sediment on the drag coefficient are investigated. Results show that due to the fact that the laden sand particle colliding the cy...
متن کاملExperimental Studies on Swirling Flow in a Vertical Circular Tube
Swirling flows are related to the spiral motion in the tangential direction in addition to the axial and radial direction using several swirl generators. These type of flows are used in combustion chambers to improve flame stability, heat exchanger to enhance heat transfer coefficients, agricultural spraying machines and some vertical pipes to move slurries or transport of materials. However, o...
متن کاملGravity-driven granular free-surface flow around a circular cylinder
Snow avalanches and other hazardous geophysical granular flows, such as debris flows, lahars and pyroclastic flows, often impact on obstacles as they flow down a slope, generating rapid changes in the flow height and velocity in their vicinity. It is important to understand how a granular material flows around such obstacles to improve the design of deflecting and catching dams, and to correctl...
