in this paper, second law analysis for calculations of the entropy generation due to the flow andheat transfer of water-al2o3 and ethylene glycol-al2o3 nanofluids inside annuli is presented. thephysical properties of the nanofluids are calculated using empirical correlations. constant heatfluxes at inner surface of the annuli are considered and fully developed condition for fluid flowand heat t...

An immersed-boundary method was employed to perform a direct numerical simulation (DNS) of flow around a wall-mounted cube in a fully developed turbulent channel for a Reynolds number Re = 5610, based on the bulk velocity and the channel height. Instantaneous results of the DNS of a plain channel flow were used as a fully developed inflow condition for the main channel. The results confirm the ...

in this study, the dispersion mechanisms of aerosols suspended in a turbulent plane channel flow is investigated using a novel numerical approach. a turbulent channel flow is simulated by a direct numerical simulation (dns) method, for which no-slip boundary conditions are assumed at the top and bottom walls, while periodicity conditions are applied on the other sides. dns, in particular, allow...

Many researchers have been interested in application of mathematical methods to find analytical solutions of nonlinear equations and for this purpose, new methods have been developed. One of the newest analytical methods to solve nonlinear equations is Reconstruction of variational Iteration Method (RVIM) which is an accurate and a rapid convergence method in finding the approximate solution fo...

A Large Eddy Simulation of a fully developed turbulent open-channel flow with Reynolds number Re=71,755 was performed to study dynamics coherent structures in the vicinity stationary sediment particle. The particle positioned at bottom on smooth channel bed. impulse concept employed by computing three-dimensional hydrodynamic forces acting order predict onset motion. Results quadrant analyses h...

Abstract – In this paper, the effect of applied electric field on the damage due to partial discharges activity into the surroundings dielectrics of a narrow channel encapsulated within the volume of a dielectric material is evaluated using a kinetic model based on Particle in Cell - Monte Carlo Collision (PIC-MCC) model. After application of an electric field across a dielectric material which...
