This paper presents a stochastic differential equation approach to multiphase flow, a typical example of which is flow in the unsaturated domain. Specifically, a two phase problem is studied which consists of a wetting phase and a nonwetting phase. The approach given results in a nonlinear stochastic differential equation describing the position of the non-wetting phase fluid particle. The nonl...

A mathematical model is described and applied for adsorption process of ethyl acetate from supercritical CO2 stream on activated carbon particles. This model has the ability of illustrating variation of effluent concentration towards different parameters such as flow rate, temperature and pressure. In this research, a vast area of operational conditions is experienced. Mass transfer resistance ...

Control of fluid dynamics at the micrometer scale is essential to emulsion science and materials design, which is ubiquitous in everyday life and is frequently encountered in industrial applications. Most studies on multiphase flow focus on oil-water systems with substantial interfacial tension. Advances in microfluidics have enabled the study of multiphase flow with more complex dynamics. Here...

The classical Stefan problem involves the motion of boundaries during phase transition, but this process can be greatly complicated by the presence of a fluid flow. Here, we consider a body undergoing material loss due to either dissolution (from molecular diffusion), melting (from thermodynamic phase change), or erosion (from fluid-mechanical stresses) in a fast-flowing fluid. In each case, th...

This study examines the single-phase and two-phase cooling performance of a hybrid micro-channel/micro-jet impingement cooling scheme using HFE 7100 as working fluid. This scheme consists of supplying coolant from a series of jets that deposit liquid into the micro-channels. A single-phase numerical scheme that utilizes the k–e turbulent model and a method for determining the extent of the lami...

The geometry of the diesel fuel injection nozzle and fuel flow characteristics in the nozzle significantly affects the processes of fuel atomization, combustion and formation of pollutant emissions in diesel engine. To improve the process of fuel injection, CFD packages are used. Since CPU times are often high, partial models are used for the analysis. In presented paper the influence of differ...

This paper examines the generation and propagation of a Third order solitary water wave along the channel. First the Incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (ISPH) numerical method is described and the boundary condition handling method is presented. The numerical model is then used to simulate solitary wave propagation along the fixed depth channel. The numerical results are compared wi...

Dual turbocharger turbine is fed by an unequal out-of-phase mass flow charge almost all the time which have significant effects on its performance parameters and flow phenomena which are not well known. Besides fully understanding the flow behavior in the radial turbine suffers from lack of detailed information about the secondary flows. This article studies the secondary flow structure within ...

Within a covariant parton cascade, we discuss the impact of both finite shear viscosity η and freeze-out dynamics on the elliptic flow generated at RHIC. We find that the enhancement of η/s in the cross-over region of the QGP phase transition cannot be neglected in order to extract the information from the QGP phase. We also point out that the elliptic flow v2(pT ) for a fluid at η/s ∼ 0.1− 0.2...
