In a previous paper1 the author and co-workers reported an unexpected numerical behavior in the simulation of dual-mode scramjet combustors. Under conditions of perfect symmetry in geometry, grid and boundary conditions, computational fluid dynamic (CFD) calculations showed an asymmetric response when a shock-train/separated-flow system was present in the flowfield. Other researchers using a co...

We applied computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis on the numerical grid of a 3D rotational digital subtraction angiogram obtained in a 22-year-old male patient, with an accidentally discovered vein of Galen malformation associated with single feeder aneurysm, to understand the flow pattern through the two aneurysms and improve our general understanding of hemodynamic characteristics of this...

In this study, we investigate the Tchebyshev polynomials expansion method for the kernels identification of nonlinear systems. In aerodynamic systems, all the output data to an arbitrary input may be obtained by executing the Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) program code. This calculation process may take more than several hours or days to complete. In comparison with the indicial or impulse m...

Violent fluid motions, high speed marine vehicles and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) are selected as main topics. Violent fluid motions deal with green water on deck, sloshing and slamming. Slamming involves many physical effects. When analyzing slamming, one must always have the structural reaction in mind. This necessitates that hydroelastic effects are considered. Many hydrodynamic pheno...

In this study, a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model was developed to evaluate ultraviolet disinfection applesauce reactor. To simulate UV reactors, three sets of equations, including hydrodynamics, radiation and species mass conservation were solved simultaneously. The Realizable k-e turbulence model and the discrete ordinate method were used to find the UV radiation profile through the r...

KATAPAK-S is a type of structured catalytic packing, which is used in reactive distillation processes. The dry pressure drop characteristic (the pressure drop in the absence of liquid flow) is of significant importance for the investigation of process hydrodynamics. In this paper, the dry pressure drop within the catalyst packed channels of KATAPAK-S has been investigated using Computational Fl...

This paper describes some aspects of an advanced grid generation method used, with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) procedures, to model three-dimensional flow through screw compressors. The increased accuracy of the flow predictions thus derived, enable such machines to be designed with improved performance and for lower development costs. To achieve this, a wholly original boundary adaptati...

Hemodynamic forces play a role in determining endothelial cell (EC) phenotype and influence vascular remodeling. We present a lesion-based computational fluid dynamic (CFD) pilot analysis to understand the complex spatial and temporal hemodynamic changes that prevail in patients with high-grade carotid artery stenosis (CS). High-resolution three-dimensional (3D) rotational angiography datasets ...
