numerical study of double-diffusive natural convective heat transfer in a curved cavity filledwith a porous medium has been carried out in the current study. polar system has beenselected as coordinate system. as a result, all equations have been discredited in r and θdirections. brinkmann extended darcy model has been utilized to express fluid flow inporous matrix in the enclosure. smaller and...

in according to the simplicity of the lattice boltzmann method’s(lbm) algorithm and its benefits, it has been used as a successful method in computational fluid dynamics in the last decades. in this paper, lbm was used to simulate the flow over a cylinder. to analyze the application of lbm in simulation curved surface, different methods to compute drag coefficient were used. these methods are: ...

We present a method that flattens a curved surface and its neighborhood to create effective, uncluttered visualizations by applying standard flow visualization techniques in the deformed space. Level sets of the distance from the curved surface are mapped to parallel planes. Data fields are mapped accordingly. Our method eases the visual inspection and analysis of a curved surface’s vicinity by...
