In this article, one-phase and three dimensional computational fluid dynamics analysis was utilized to investigate the effect of annular field pattern of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) with different geometry on the performances and species distribution. This computational fluid dynamics code is used for solving the equation in single domain namely the flow field, the mass conserva...

in this paper, the fluid-structure interaction phenomenon and the research history are described. then due to the complex and specific working conditions of a turbine blade, we have investigated the phenomenon on this subject. the fluid-structure interaction on a turbine blade model has been simulated by using structural and fluid flow section of ansys software. a model of turbine blade with ai...

A new method is developed to simulate the fully coupled motion involving an ellipsoidal particle and the ambient fluid. This method essentially reduces a two-phase flow problem into a single-phase fluid flow problem. The momentum exchange at the interface between the particle and the fluid is computed in a spectral element method. To validate this method and demonstrate the accuracy of the resu...

Time-lapse 3-D seismic monitoring of subsurface rock property changes incurred during reservoir fluid-flow processes is an emerging new diagnostic technology for optimizing hydrocarbon production. I discuss the physical theory relevant for three-phase fluid flow in a producing oil reservoir, and rock physics transformations of fluid-flow pressure, temperature and pore-fluid saturation values to...

An interfacial area transport equation IATE , proposed to dynamically describe the interfacial structure evolution of two-phase flows, could help improve the predictive capability of the twofluid model. The present study aims to investigate the well-posedness issue of a one-dimensional two-fluid model with the IATE named “two-fluid-IATE model” hereafter using a characteristic analysis. The mome...

The geochemical evolution of hydrothermal fractured rock systems occurs through a complex interplay of multi-phase fluid and heat flow, and chemical transport processes. On the basis of previous work we present simulations of reactive hydrothermal flow that include (1) detailed fracture-matrix interaction for fluid, heat and chemical constituents, (2) gas phase participation in multiphase fluid...

In the present study, commonly used weakly compressible lattice Boltzmann method and Guo incompressible lattice Boltzmann method have been used to simulate fluid flow in a stirred tank. For this purpose a 3D Parallel code has been developed in the framework of the lattice Boltzmann method. This program has been used for simulation of flow at different geometries such as 2D channel fluid flow an...

This article is concerned with the formulation and numerical solution of equations for modelling multicomponent, two-phase, thermal fluid flow in porous media. The fluid model consists of individual chemical component (species) conservation equations, Darcy’s law for volumetric flow rates and an energy equation in terms of enthalpy. The model is closed with an equation of state and phase equili...
