This paper presents a numerical investigation for laminar forced convection flow of a radiating gas in a rectangular duct with a solid element that makes a backward facing step. The fluid is treated as a gray, absorbing, emitting and scattering medium. The governing differential equations consisting the continuity, momentum and energy are solved numerically by the computational fluid dynamics t...

Interring gas dynamic analysis of piston in a diesel engine considering the thermal effect. Understanding the interaction between ring dynamics and gas transport in ring pack systems is crucial and needs to be imperatively studied. The present work features detailed interring gas dynamics of piston ring pack behavior in internal combustion engines. The model is developed for a ring pack with fo...

We performed N-body/SPH simulations of merging gas-rich disk galaxies with mass ratios of 1:1 and 3:1. A stellar disk and bulge component and a dark halo was realized with collisionless particles, the gas was represented by SPH particles. Since we did not include star formation we focused on the gas dynamics and its influence on the structure of merger remnants. We find that equal-mass mergers ...

Relativistic effects in the thermodynamical properties of interacting particle systems are investigated within the framework of the relativistic direct interaction theory in various forms of dynamics. In the front form of relativistic dynamics an exactly solvable model of a one-dimensional hard spheres gas is formulated and an equation of state and thermodynamical potentials for such a gas are ...

Steady, inviscid, irrotational flow of a perfect gas in two dimensions is considered in the tangent gas approximation. A fast and accurate method of solution is proposed and solved numerically. Comparison of tangent gas and exact flows are presented. Tangent gas solutions when used as the first step in the iterative solution of the exact flowfield are shown to give substantial reduction in comp...

A full three-dimensional, single phase computational fluid dynamics model of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) with both the gas distribution flow channels and the Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) has been developed. A single set of conservation equations which are valid for the flow channels, gas-diffusion electrodes, catalyst layers, and the membrane region are developed and numer...

Asymmetries in galactic potentials, either self-induced, or caused by a passing companion, play an important role in global gas dynamics in galaxies. In particular, they are able to trigger gas inflow, which in turn feeds nuclear activity. In the inner kiloparsec, the inflowing gas becomes subject to various resonances induced by asymmetry in the potential. This produces complicated gas morphol...

This paper presents a new lattice-gas method for molecular dynamics modeling. A mean field treatment is given and is applied to a linear stability analysis. Exact numerical simulations of the solid-phase crystallization is presented, as is a finite-temperature multiphase liquid-gas system. The lattice-gas method, a discrete dynamical method, is therefore capable of representing a variety of col...
