rayleigh-taylor (rt) instability has a growing importance in many fields including aircraft industry and astrophysics. the development and the growth of rt instability were investigated using sinusoidal disturbances with different wavelength at the interface of two fluids. numerical simulations were performed by solving navier-stokes unsteady equations with the vof formulation. results of the 2...

short-term traffic flow forecasting plays a significant role in the intelligent transportation systems (its), especially for the traffic signal control and the transportation planning research. two mainly problems restrict the forecasting of urban freeway traffic parameters. one is the freeway traffic changes non-regularly under the heterogeneous traffic conditions, and the other is the success...

We propose an efficient solver for saddle point problems arising from finite element approximations of nonlocal multi-phase Allen--Cahn variational inequalities. The is seen to behave mesh independently and have only a very mild dependence on the number phase field variables. In addition we prove convergence, in three GMRES iterations, approximation two problem, regardless size or interfacial w...

multiphase flows are commonly encountered in oil and gas industries. the transport of multiphase flow causes the formation of slug, the increase of pressure drop and the possibility of phase changes therefore, a set of simulation runs was performed to predict flow regimes in a horizontal pipeline, and the results were compared with the baker chart. the effects of small downward inclinations of ...

Subcooled flow boiling in multi-microchannels can be used as an efficient thermal management approach in compact electrical devices. Highly subcooled flow boiling of HFE 7100 is studied in two microchannel heat sinks to choose a proper numerical model for simulating boiling flows in microchannels. Results of five different numerical models, including Volume of Fluid (VOF), Eulerian boiling, Eul...
