The study on the flow behave inside of a ball valve is important for heavy crude oil transportation. Owe to the fast progress of the numerical technique, it becomes an effective way to observe the flows inside a valve and to analyze the flow structure of the oil-water core annular flow. In the present study, the simulation of the oil-water core annular flowing through the valve is conducted...

in this paper, the flow around bluff bodies with different cross sections and determination of forces acts on them are investigated.this paper presents the results of a numerical study on the flow characteristics and heat transfer over two equal square cylinders in a tandem arrangement. spacing between the cylinders is 5 widths of the cylinder and the reynolds number ranges from 1 to 200, pr=0....

To discover the nonlinear characteristics of pipe flow, we simulated the flow as a sum of many vortex rings. As a first step, we investigated the nonlinear interaction among a maximum of three vortex rings. The pipe wall was replaced by many bound vortices. A free vortex ring moves right or left according to the radius, and that of a particular radius keeps the initial position. The energy of a...

In many applications the flow that past bluff bodies has frequency nature (oscillated) and it is not uniform. This kind of flow has effects on the formation of vortex shedding behind bluff bodies. In this paper the flow around a circular cylinder was numerically simulated. The effects of frequency variation at inlet flow on the vortex shedding frequency were investigated. The transient Two-Dime...

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...

A wind tunnel investigation was performed to study the flow field over a 70° swept sharped edge delta wing model at high angles of attack. The experiments were conducted in the subsonic wind tunnel at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sharif University of Technology. Velocity profiles have been measured using a special pitot tube and hot wire anemometer at angles of attacks of 10 to 35 ...

in this century due to population growth, the use of river water has become more complicated. since most rivers pass across loose and erodible areas, they always act as the most important factor of transferring eroded materials from the solid crust of the earth.  vortex basins are among the solutions known for the high-speed separation of solids from liquids (filtration). one of the problems of...
