designing and manufacturing the multiple jets simulator and experimental investigation of the multiple jets in crossflow at low velocity ratios have been studied together with design and build a low-speed wind tunnel. a specific rake is used to determine the flow field pressure and changes in static pressure measured by pressure taps in the near field of the jets. there are generally three regi...

In this article, one-phase and three dimensional computational fluid dynamics analysis was utilized to investigate the effect of annular field pattern of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) with different geometry on the performances and species distribution. This computational fluid dynamics code is used for solving the equation in single domain namely the flow field, the mass conserva...

The influence of the plug shape on the performance of an aerospike nozzle thrust force is studied in different back pressure conditions. To generate smooth plug contours, Cubic B-Spline technique is employed. In the current research, basis functions are obtained using Deboor’s relation. The flow field around the aerospike nozzle is investigated implementing various shapes and the best of the ge...

Electrohydrodynamic effect on natural convection in horizontal channels is investigated from a numerical point of view. The EHD effect is induced by narrow strip electrodes placed at the bottom wall of the channel. The channel is subjected in a first stage only to the electric forces, and in a second stage to the simultaneous action of a temperature gradient and an electric field. The interacti...

One method of solving the governing equations of fluid flow about complex geometries is to use multi-zonal method. In this method the overall domain is divided into small number of simpler domains. In each zone, the flow field is solved independently of other zones. The boundary conditions for connecting zones are enforced to convey the necessary linkage. This multi – zonal procedure has been a...

present paper investigates the numerical solution of two-dimensional unsteady compressible navier-stokes equations by a new scheme based on the finite volume method. kinetic energy preserving (kep) scheme is introduced for solving the supersonic and transonic external compressible flow field on very fine grids (with a number of cells of the order of the reynolds number) without artificial dissi...

for a long time, many efforts have been taken on improving gas turbine performance to increase the propulsive force and keep the chamber walls cool. in this regard, implementation of cyclonic and vortex engines have been proposed. according to increasing in the engine efficiency and keeping the chamber walls cool, the bidirectional vortex flow which is exited in the vortex engine, makes researc...
