In aquaculture, new production technologies are under development and testing. One promising type of technology is the closed floating cage. Egget® one these newly developed technologies, which egg-shaped vertically floating. challenges to determine hydrodynamic loads. Therefore, this study focuses on estimating resistance coefficient for steady flow with various velocities Reynolds numbers a s...

Volume of fluid (VOF) method is a sharp interface employed for simulations two phase flows. Interface in VOF usually represented using piecewise linear line segments each computational grid based on the volume fraction field. While cartesian coordinates conserve mass exactly, existing algorithms do not show machine-precision conservation axisymmetric coordinate systems. In this work, we propose...

In this paper a novel numerical approach is presented for solving the transient incompressible fluid flow problems with free surfaces in generalized two-dimensional curvilinear coordinate systems. Solution algorithm is a combination of implicit real-time steps and explicit pseudo-time steps. Governing fluid flow equations are discretized using a collocated finite-volume mesh. Convective terms a...

Subcooled flow boiling in multi-microchannels can be used as an efficient thermal management approach in compact electrical devices. Highly subcooled flow boiling of HFE 7100 is studied in two microchannel heat sinks to choose a proper numerical model for simulating boiling flows in microchannels. Results of five different numerical models, including Volume of Fluid (VOF), Eulerian boiling, Eul...
