In this paper, growth and collapse of a vapour bubble generated due to a local energy input inside a rigid cylinder and in the absence of buoyancy forces is investigated using Boundary Integral Equation Method and Finite Difference Method .The fluid is treated as potential flow and Boundary Integral Equation Method is used to solve Laplace’s equation for velocity potential. Different ratios of ...

Laminar free convection heat transfer from vertical and inclined arrays of horizontal isothermal cylinders in air was investigated experimentally and numerically. Experiments were carried out using Mach-Zehnder interferometer and the FLUENT code was used for numerical study. Investigation was performed for vertical and horizontal cylinder spacing from 2 to 5 and 0 to 2 cylinder diameters respec...

in this study, a numerical model was developed to investigate the two-dimensional heat transfer in a homogenous finite cylinder to predict the local temperature and sterilizing value during caviar pasteurization. a fixed grid finite difference method was used in the solution of heat transfer equations according to crank-nicolson’s scheme. the model was validated by comparison of the experimenta...

A linear three-dimensional problem of hydroelastic wave diffraction by a bottom-mounted circular cylinder is analysed. The fluid is of finite depth and is covered by an ice sheet, which is clamped to the cylinder surface. The ice stretches from the cylinder to infinity in all lateral directions. The hydroelastic behaviour of the ice sheet is described by linear elastic plate theory, and the flu...

We derived added mass and damping coefficients of a vertical floating circular cylinder due to surge motion in calm water of finite depth. This is done by deriving the velocity potential for the cylinder by considering two regions, namely, interior region and exterior region. The velocity potentials for these two regions are obtained by the method of separation of variables. The continuity of t...

In this paper, a study of mixed convection flow inside a rectangular ventilated cavity in the presence of a heat conducting square cylinder at the center has been carried out. An external fluid flow enters the cavity through an opening in the left vertical wall and exits from another opening in the right vertical wall. The governing equations are transformed into non-dimensional form and the re...
