Three Dimensional Analysis of Flow Past a Solid-Sphere at Low Reynolds Numbers with the Aid of Body Fitted Coordinates
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
In this paper, the flow-field of an incompressible viscous flow past a solid-sphere at low Reynolds numbers (up to 270) is investigated numerically. In order to extend the capabilities of the finite volume method, the boundary (body) fitted coordinates (BFC) method is used. Transformation of the partial differential equations to algebraic relations is based on the finite-volume method with collocated variables arrangement. For solving the obtained algebraic relations, the TDMA in periodic state is used. To approximate the convective fluxes, the differencing scheme of Van leer is used and SIMPLEC handles the linkage between velocities and pressures. The verification of the code is checked by the analysis of flow past a solid sphere at low Reynolds numbers of 20 to 210. A good agreement is obtained between the present results and the available experimental and numerical data. The flow-field past a sphere at low Reynolds numbers of 210 to 270 shows that the steady non-axisymmetric regime is going to build up at the Reynolds number of 211.

Flow Past Periodic Arrays of Spheres at Low Reynolds
We calculate the force on a periodic array of spheres in a viscous ow at small Reynolds number and for small volume fraction. This generalizes the known results for the force on a periodic array due to Stokes ow (zero Reynolds number) and the Oseen correction to the Stokes formula for the force on a single sphere (zero volume fraction). We use a generalization of Hasimoto's approach that is bas...
متن کاملA microfluidic rectifier: anisotropic flow resistance at low Reynolds numbers.
It is one of the basic concepts of Newtonian fluid dynamics that at low Reynolds number (Re) the Navier-Stokes equation is linear and flows are reversible. In microfluidic devices, where Re is essentially always low, this implies that flow resistance in microchannels is isotropic. Here we present a microfluidic rectifier: a microscopic channel of a special shape whose flow resistance is strongl...

با توجه به جایگاه زبان انگلیسی به عنوان زبانی بین المللی و با در نظر گرفتن این واقعیت که دولت ها و مسئولان آموزش و پرورش در سراسر جهان در حال حاضر احساس نیاز به ایجاد موقعیتی برای کودکان جهت یاد گیری زبان انگلیسی درسنین پایین در مدارس دو زبانه می کنند، تحقیق حاضر با استفاده از مدل swot (قوت ها، ضعف ها، فرصتها و تهدیدها) سعی در ارزیابی مدرسه ای دو زبانه در ایران را دارد. جهت انجام این تحقیق در م...
15 صفحه اولThree-dimensional flows around low-aspect-ratio flat-plate wings at low Reynolds numbers
Three-dimensional flows over impulsively translated low-aspect-ratio flat plates are investigated for Reynolds numbers of 300 and 500, with a focus on the unsteady vortex dynamics at post-stall angles of attack. Numerical simulations, validated by an oil tow-tank experiment, are performed to study the influence of aspect ratio, angle of attack and planform geometry on the wake vortices and the ...
