the current study investigated and compared data generation methods for groundwater modeling. thesemethods can be divided into two classes; geostatistic and probabilistic. by comparing geostatistic methods,the best method was chosen and the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer was generated for a study area ina grid (9-cell) format. after observing weak spatial correlation between the data, th...

A direct numerical simulation of a turbulent channel flow is performed. The unsteady Navier-Stokes equations are solved numerically at a Reynolds number of 3300, based on thc mean centreline velocity and channel half-width, with about 4 x los grid points (192 x 129 x 160 in 2, y, 2). All essential turbulence scales are resolved on the computational grid and no subgrid model is used. A large num...

Modelling of wind farms using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) resolving the flow field around each wind turbine’s blades on a moving computational grid is still too costly and time consuming in terms of computational capacity and effort. One strategy is to use sub-models for the wind turbines, and sub-grid models for turbulence production and dissipation to model the turbulent viscosity accu...

Turbulence modeling has recently drawn many attentions in fluid animation to generate small-scale rolling features. Being one of the widely adopted approaches, vorticity confinement method re-injects lost energy dissipation back to the flow. However, previous works suffer from deficiency when large vorticity coefficient e is used, due to the fact that constant e is applied all over the simulate...

We present local simulations that verify the linear streaming instability that arises from aerodynamic coupling between solids and gas in protoplanetary disks. This robust instability creates enhancements in the particle density in order to tap the free energy of the relative drift between solids and gas, generated by the radial pressure gradient of the disk. We confirm the analytic growth rate...

We performed a series of three-dimensional numerical simulations of supersonic homogeneous Euler turbulence with adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) and effective grid resolution up to 10243 zones. Our experiments describe nonmagnetized driven supersonic turbulent flows with an isothermal equation of state. Mesh refinement on shocks and shear is implemented to cover dynamically important structures ...

The effect of fine particles on turbulence damping and reduction of flow friction coefficient in ribleted pipes, have been investigated experimentally. Tests have been conducted in a ribleted pipe with hydraulic diameter of 18.6 mm, and 20 stream wise riblets of 1.8 mm depth, along the pipe. Flows of water tap with Reynolds number from 5000 to 30000 were compared with flows containing silt-clay...

Turbulent flow over an array of wall-mounted cubic obstacles has been numerically investigated using large-eddy simulation. The simulations have been performed using high-performance computations with local cluster systems. The array of cubes are fully submerged in a simulated deep rough-wall atmospheric boundary-layer with high turbulence intensity characteristics of environmental turbulent fl...
