The present Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) work deals with the modeling of complete coal direct chemical looping sub-pilot unit which use coal as fuel and ferric oxide supported on alumina as an oxygen carrier. The 2D CFD model of the complete arrangement incorporating both fuel and air reactors and their inter-connecting parts was solved using FLUENT. The CFD model wa...

We introduce a novel hybrid of two fields-Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Agent-Based Modeling (ABM)-as a powerful new technique for urban evacuation planning. CFD is a predominant technique for modeling airborne transport of contaminants, while ABM is a powerful approach for modeling social dynamics in populations of adaptive individuals. The hybrid CFD-ABM method is capable of simulati...

The most common parallelization strategy for many Computational Mechanics (typified by Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) applications) which use structured grids, involves the one directional partition based upon slads of grids. For parallelised versions of CFD codes to scale well we must employ two (or more) dimensional partitions. However, FORTRAN code implementations by multi-directional par...

The practical application of the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), for predicting the flow pattern around Multipurpose Amphibious Vehicle (MAV) hull has made much progress over the last decade. Today, several of the CFD tools play an important role in the land and water going vehicle hull form design. CFD has been used for analysis of MAV hull resistance, seakeeping, maneuvering and investiga...

The objective of this paper is the reconstruction of upper airway geometric models as hybrid meshes from clinically used Computed Tomography (CT) data sets in order to understand the dynamics and behaviors of the pre- and postoperative upper airway systems of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) patients by viscous Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The selection criteria for OS...

CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations appear to be strong competitor of the wind tunnel test which required scaled model and it is really expensive and time consuming tool in designing bridges therefore there is a strong claim to replace them with CFD. Analyses carried out for different deck cross sections by secondary development of commercial computational fluid dynamics software ANS...
