The fusion reactor is anticipated to be a new source of clean energy. Magnetohydrodynamic flow in the blanket expected cause highly stable, causing heat transfer poor. Passive vortex promoter such as bluff body one methods found has great potential optimizing transfer. In this study, two circular cylinders staggered arrangement are introduced promote vortices enhance convection from heated wall...

in this paper, the transient inertial viscoelastic flow around a circular cylinder is investigated numerically. a second order finite-volume method is used to increase the numerical accuracy. here, the giesekus model is used as the constitutive equation. this nonlinear model has prominent ability in describing normal stress differences and viscosity in power-law regions. the impacts of the elas...

in this paper a novel numerical approach is presented for solving the transient incompressible fluid flow problems with free surfaces in generalized two-dimensional curvilinear coordinate systems. solution algorithm is a combination of implicit real-time steps and explicit pseudo-time steps. governing fluid flow equations are discretized using a collocated finite-volume mesh. convective terms a...

The influence of the location of the lateral boundaries on 2D computation of unsteady incompressible flow past a circular cylinder is investigated. The case of Reynolds number 100 is used as a benchmark, and several quantities characterizing the unsteady flow are obtained for a range of lateral boundary locations. The computations are performed with two distinct finite element formulations – sp...
