Particle erosion from slurry flow is a common problem in many industrial applications, including the mining and the oil and gas industry. Erosion modelling is a known complex problem, and consists of three equally important parts; fluid flow modelling, particulate flow modelling, and erosion modelling. It is the first of these, the fluid flow, which is analysed here. The paper compares three di...

The results of detailed numerical simulation of the flow in an injector including electrohydrodynamic interaction in sharply inhomogeneous electric field formed by electrode system closed to the needle-plane type are presented. The aim of the simulation is to estimate the charge rate flow at the fuel injector outlet. The results were obtained using the open-source package OpenFOAM in which the ...

This dissertation presents the development and application of a computational model called BioChemFOAM developed using the computation fluid dynamic software OpenFOAM (Open source Field Operation And Manipulation). BioChemFOAM is a three dimensional incompressible unsteady-flow model that is coupled with a waterquality model via the Reynolds Average Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. BioChemFOAM w...

For the purpose of providing scientific insights to combustion characteristics spray jet, numerical calculations reacting and non-reacting cases are performed for ECN (engine network) Spray A (n-dodecane combustion) which coupled finite chemistry model PaSR detailed chemical reaction kinetics based on OpenFOAM. The applicability accuracy is verified in case, it found that predicted such as pene...
