many diseases are related to cerebrospinal .uid (csf) hydrodynamics. therefore, understanding the hydrodynamics of csf .ow and intracranial pressure is helpful for obtaining deeper knowledge of pathological processes and providing better treatments. furthermore, engineering a reliable computational method is promising approach for fabricating in vitro models which is essential for inventing gen...

in this study, a computational fluid dynamics (cfd) model was developed to evaluate ultraviolet disinfection applesauce reactor. to simulate uv reactors, three sets of equations, including hydrodynamics, radiation and species mass conservation were solved simultaneously. the realizable k-e turbulence model and the discrete ordinate method were used to find the uv radiation profile through the r...

An accurate description of the fluid flow and heat transfer within a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR), for the safety analysis and reactor performance is always desirable. In this paper a mathematical model of the fundamental physical phenomena which are associated to a typical PWR is presented. The mathematical model governs the fluid dynamics in the reactor. Using commercial software CFX, a co...

in our present research, we focus on the modeling of airflow related to natural disasters, such assand accumulation, with urban form studies. the objective is to find which urban form can promote sand passing andreduce as much as possible stagnation of sand in the building area (streets, alleys, etc.). the urban form design will bediscussed through the simulation of airflow by using computation...

a novel computational fluid dynamics and molecular kinetic theory (cfd-mk) method was developed to simulate the impingement of a nanodroplet onto a solid surface. a numerical solution of the navier–stokes equation using a volume-of-fluid (vof) technique was used to model nanodroplet deformation. dynamic contact angle during droplet impact was obtained by molecular kinetic theory. this dynamic c...

KATAPAK-S is a type of structured catalytic packing, which is used in reactive distillation processes. The dry pressure drop characteristic (the pressure drop in the absence of liquid flow) is of significant importance for the investigation of process hydrodynamics. In this paper, the dry pressure drop within the catalyst packed channels of KATAPAK-S has been investigated using Computational Fl...

background and objectives: pomegranate juice (pj) contains large particles that stick to evaporator walls causing off flavors in the concentrate due to burning. microfiltration is used to clarify pj. fouling is a limiting phenomenon that can prevent the industrialization of membrane clarification. changes in the geometry of the membrane module such as using baffles are useful to decrease this p...
