the present article focuses on the evaluation of a first-moment closure model applicable to film cooling flow and heat transfer computations. the present first-moment closure model consists of a higher level of turbulent heat flux modeling in which two additional transport equations for temperature variance kθ and its dissipation rate εθ are considered. it not only employs a time scale that is ...

The study of boundary layer flow and heat transfer of an electrically conducting visco-elastic second grade fluid in a porous medium past a stretching sheet is conducting with power law surface temperature or power law surface heat flux. The flow in boundary layer is considered to be generated solely by the linear stretching of the boundary sheet adjacent to porous medium in a magnetic field wi...

In this work, we derive an analytical solution for heat transfer characteristics of a thermally developing flow of viscoelastic fluids under the application of an electroosmotic force. The walls are subjected to either in isothermal condition or a constant wall heat flux is employed. First, we derive a Helmholtz-Smoluchowski (HS) type slip velocity for the viscoelastic fluids, which is further ...

In this communication we deal with the exact solutions called ”pseudosimilarity” of a steady free convection problem studied by by Kumaran and Pop (2006). They showed that there is no similarity solution for the case of a wall temperature as Tw(x) ∼ x 1 2 (resp. a wall heat flux as qw(x) ∼ x 3 2 , and a dimensionless heat transfer coefficient hw(x) ∼ x). We shall present some results about exis...

in this paper the optimal control of boundary heat flux in a 2-d solid body with an arbitrary shape is performed in order to achieve the desired temperature distribution at a given time interval. the boundary of the body is subdivided into a number of components. on each component a time-dependent heat flux is applied which is independent of the others. since the thermophysical properties are t...

The influence of effusion cooling through discrete holes on a laminar Ma-2.67 boundary layer is investigated using direct numerical simulation (DNS). It is found that the wall condition, isothermal, adiabatic or radiation-adiabatic, with neglected heat conduction within the wall, has a very strong influence on the vortex systems that are generated by the holes and thus also on the cooling featu...

The Spalart and Allmaras turbulence model has been implemented in a numerical code to study the compressible turbulent flows, which the system of governing equations is solved with a finite volume approach using a structured grid. The AUSM scheme is used to calculate the inviscid fluxes. Different benchmark problems have been computed to validate the implementation and numerical results are sho...

using of nanofluids and ducts with corrugated walls are both supposed to enhance heat transfer, by increasing the heat transfer fluid conductivity and the heat transfer area respectively. use of a diverging duct with a jet at inlet section may further increase heat transfer by creating recirculation zones inside the duct. in this work two-dimensional incompressible laminar flow of a nanofluid e...

The paper presents near-wall scaling in incompressible and compressible flows. It concentrates on flows with streamwise pressure gradients which render traditional scaling inapplicable. For incompressible flows a scaling for the velocity profiles is introduced based on both the friction velocity and the pressure gradient. For compressible flows a scaling is developed for the velocity and the te...
