computational fluid dynamics (cfd) is a computational technology that enables researchers to study the dynamics of things that flow. by using cfd, it is possible to build a computational model that represents a system under study. it not only predicts fluid flow behavior, but also the transfer of heat, mass, phase change, chemical reaction, mechanical movement, and stress or deformation of rela...

In this article, a coupled computational framework is presented for the numerical simulation of mass transfer under the effects of natural convection phenomena in a field contains water-copper Nano-fluid. This CFD model is build up based on accurate algorithms for spatial derivatives and time integration. The spatial derivatives have been calculated using first order upwind and second order cen...

This paper presents an efficient optimization procedure to find the optimal shapes of double curvature  arch  dams  considering  fluid–structure  interaction  subject  to  earthquake  loading. The optimization is carried out using a combination of the magnetic charged system search, big bang-big crunch algorithm and artificial neural network methods. Performing the finite element  analysis  dur...

In this paper, two-dimensional turbulent flows in different and complex geometries are simulated by using an accurate grid generation method. In order to analyze the fluid flow, numerical solution of the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations are solved using CFD techniques. Considering the complexity of the physical geometry, conformal mapping is used to generate an orthogonal grid by means of...
