this paper presents the results of numerical simulations of the laminar and turbulent flows inside diverging channels using random vortex methods (rvm). random vortex method is a mesh-free method which solves unsteady vorticity equation instead of solving navier-stokes equations directly to determine the velocity field. in this paper, the velocity potential, which is used as the initial conditi...

Thermo-hydrodynamic performance of hydrodynamically and thermally developing single-phase flow in an array of rectangular mini-channels has been experimentally investigated. The array consists of fifteen rectangular parallel mini-channels of width 1.1±0.02 mm, depth 0.772±0.005 mm (hydraulic diameter 0.907 mm), inter-channel pitch of 2.0 mm, machined on a copper plate of 8.0 mm thickness and ha...
