Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a mathematical tool capable of simulating a wide range of fluid flows. Integrated CFD software has been applied to study the flows in oilfield separators. The influence of inlets, internals, and outlets has been studied with CFD simulations. Of particular value has been the ability of CFD to simulate wave induced sloshing in vessels mounted on floating plat...

built of brick. At its base will be two hydrocarbon burners. Upper and lower triangular flues extend across the middle of the shaft, and also an upper and lower set of baffles or side wings, which are connected by means of wall passages or flues. Underneath these is a shelf, forming a retort in which air may mix with the flames from the burners. Flues are provided for the return of the gases ar...

The solar chimney power plant system (abbreviated as SCPPS) is a clean and pollution-free facility for generating electric power. To improve the efficiency, bank of baffles can be arranged under collector in SCPPS. ANSYS Fluent 18.2 was used to numerically simulate 3D models SCPPS with or without baffles, an experimental apparatus built verification. There are seven different types model discus...

The implementation of vertical slot fishway (VSF) has been demonstrated to be an effective mitigation measure alleviate extensive river fragmentation by artificial hydraulic structures such as weirs and dams. However, non-suitable flow velocity turbulent kinetic energy significantly affect fish swimming behavior and, a result, hinder facilities’ performance. Therefore, this study’s main objecti...

The present work aims to define strategies for numerical simulation of the mixture turbulent flows in a stirred tank with low computational effort, and investigate influence geometry four rectangular baffles on problem performance. Two models based momentum source sliding mesh are validated by comparison experimental results from literature. For both models, time-averaged conservation equations...

Abstract Sloshing is relevant in several applications like ship tanks, space and automotive industry seiching harbours. Due to the relationship between sloshing motions possibility of structural damage, it important represent this phenomenon accurately. This paper investigates at shallow liquid depths a rectangular container using experiments RANS simulations. Free forced sloshing, with without...

The use of baffle arrays behind a rigid barrier is an effective method to reduce impact force by dissipating flow energy with filtering boulders from debris flows. To prevent structural damage the barrier, appropriate configurations are needed; however, design guidelines for geometric construction have not yet been proposed. One major challenges in designing multiple structures (baffles and etc...
