Numerical simulation of free flow over Gabion crump weirs

Environmentally friendly nature and the direct impact of gabion weirs on the quality parameters of rivers as well as simple design and construction of such structures, has putted them under consideration in the recent years. In this research, Hydraulic parameters of gabion crump weirs including water surface profile, discharge coefficient and through flow discharge are investigated numerically ...

Free Convection Flow and Heat Transfer of Nanofluids of Different Shapes of Nano-Sized Particles over a Vertical Plate at Low and High Prandtl Numbers

In this paper, free convection flow and heat transfer of nanofluids of differently-shaped nano-sized particles over a vertical plate at very low and high Prandtl numbers are analyzed.  The governing systems of nonlinear partial differential equations of the flow and heat transfer processes are converted to systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equation through similarity transformations. T...

Unsteady Free Convection from a Sphere in a Porous Medium with Variable Surface Temperature

In this paper a transient free convection flow around a sphere with variable surface temperature and embedded in a porous medium has been considered. The temperature of the sphere is suddenly raised and subsequently maintained at values that varies with position on surface. The method of asymptotic expansions is applied for small Rayleigh numbers and then a finite-difference scheme is used to s...

Numerical simulation of the free convection flow in porous medium

The scope of this paper is to present, both from a theoretical and a practical viewpoint, the problem of the thermal boundary-layer approximation for free convection flow in a porous medium bounded by a vertical flat plate (wall). The influence of the wall temperature and heat flux on the problem solution is discussed. We present numerical results for the problem of steady free convection using...
