Abstract With the development of simulation technology and programs, it became necessary to study models that control equations’ solutions influence results. The having over solving equations multiple phases materials are investigated. They include (Volume Fluid (VOF), mixture, Eulerian) controlling governing equations. was conducted depending on boiling point water. activation these three is c...

Double Skin Façades (DSFs) have become widespread solutions commonly employed in new and existing buildings the last decades. Since its introduction, multi-layered façade has improved profoundly, assuming more articulate complex shapes for better energy performances combining advanced technologies as innovative materials or systems. However, effectiveness thermal behaviour of DSFs should be car...

The indispensable vital structure in any harbor is a breakwater in order to make available calm water region inshore. Pile breakwater can be employed as a small coastal protection structure where tranquility required is low. This study is concerned with CFD study on the performance of perforated hollow pile to dissipate wave energy and the novelty of this investigation is the role of perforatio...

This study numerically investigates the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of an elastically mounted rigid cylinder by using Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations with computational fluid dynamic (CFD) tools. CFD analysis is performed for a fixed-cylinder case with Reynolds number (Re) = 104 and for a cylinder that is free to oscillate in the transverse direction and possesses a low mass...

In the electrical machines, operated in railway traction drives, the growth of power density requires overproportional more heat to be discharged which leads to the need for more and more advanced cooling techniques. A novel optimization and evaluation approach for internal air cooled traction machines will be presented in this paper. It analyses and investigates the thermo-aeroand thermodynami...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) bears great promises for the design and characterization of systems for which an approach based on field or laboratory data is impractical. Due to their large sizes and seasonal operation hot water seasonal storages (HWSHS) are suitable candidates for CFD-based design analysis. However, well-calibrated CFD models that sufficiently account for the turbulence an...

The ability of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to model the complex two-phase hydrodynamics of sieve trays is examined. The key to a proper description of the flow is the estimation of the momentum exchange, or drag, coefficient between the gas and liquid phases. In the absence of sound theoretical models, empirical correlations for the average gas fraction on the tray, such as those of Benn...
