In designing of condensers, the prediction of pressure drop is as important as the prediction of heat transfer coefficient. Modeling of two phase flow, particularly liquid – vapor flow under diabatic conditions inside a horizontal tube using CFD analysis is difficult with the available two phase models in FLUENT due to continuously changing flow patterns. In the present analysis, CFD analysis o...

Optimum Aerodynamic Design Using CFD and Control Theory

The main research approaches in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) are grid-based (Euler) or based on particle motion (Lagrange). For interactive fluid simulation, techniques have been developed to use the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) to speed up the computation using an Eulerian approach. This paper describes an approach for setting up a Lagrangian particle based fluid simulation on the GPU....

In this research, experimental investigation and the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation of a cryogenic condenser for oxygen liquefaction was carried out. The liquid nitrogen used as cooling fluid. section, three-dimensional model with structured mesh high quality aspect ratio skewness considered. multi-phase flow inside studied numerically, using volume (VOF) method. This work also ex...

A robust, accurate, and computationally efficient interface tracking algorithm is a key component of an embedded/immersed computational framework for the solution of fluid-structure interaction problems with complex and deformable geometries. To a large extent, the design of such an algorithm has focused on the case of a closed embedded interface and a Cartesian Computational Fluid Dynamics (CF...
