Radial and mixed flow turbines are important components of turbochargers in automotive engines. Their aerodynamic design is generally compromised by severe mechanical constraints, to deal with high temperature and unsteady operation, but also by the requirement of low inertia for rapid turbocharger response from low engine speed. Conventionally, the designer deals with these constraints in the ...

Diesel engine combustion chamber which reduces exhaust emission has been designed using CFD analysis and optimization techniques. In order to save computational time for design, the Kriging model, one of the response surface models, is adopted here. For the robust exploration, both the estimated function value of the model and its uncertainty are considered at the same time. In the present prob...

SimVis is an interactive research implementation of a visual analysis scheme which we developed for the feature-based assessment of flow simulation data. It is based on the concept of multiple, linked views of different kinds, including views from information visualization such as adapted scatterplots and histograms. In this paper we present an extension to our interactive visual analysis frame...

Abstract—Wet scrubbers have found widespread use in cleaning contaminated gas streams because of their ability to remove particulates and based on the applications of scrubbing of marine engine exhaust gases by spraying sea-water. In order to examine the flow characteristics inside the scrubber, the model is designated with flow properties of hot air and water sprayer. The flow dynamics of evap...

to enhance the understanding of the impact of obstacle buildings on pollution transportationand dispersion in the atmospheric boundary layer, it is necessary to know the atmospheric flow characteristics over terrains. wind flow characteristics in a boundary layer over a step-shaped cliff topography model with rough and smooth surfaces were studied numerically using computational fluid dynamics ...

dense medium cyclone is a high capacity device that is widely used in coal preparation. it is simple in design but the swirling turbulent flow, the presence of medium and coal with different density and size fraction and the presence of the air-core make the flow pattern in dmcs complex. in this article the flow pattern simulation of dmc is performed with computational fluid dynamics and fluent...

The development of large medium-speed catamarans aims increasing economic viability and reducing the possible negative influence on the environment of fast sea transportation. These vessels are likely to operate at hump speed where wave-making can be the dominating component of the total resistance. Shallow water may considerably amplify the wave-making and hence the overall drag force. Computa...

1. Abstract The automotive industry is facing increasing demands in terms of cost reduction and environment responsibility. To comply with new European emission standards, while satisfying the need for higher engine performances, the intake ports have to be optimized with respect to the mass flow rate and the aerodynamic turbulence inside the combustion chamber. In this study, the shape of an i...
