چکیده

Steady non-isothermal parallel-plate flow of a Newtonian fluid with a temperature dependent viscosity is considered. The viscosity is modelled by a Nahme type law. We apply axisymmetric Q finite elements to the coupled nonlinear system to obtain numerical solutions for a wide range of parameters.

A Mass Conservative Method for Numerical Modeling of Axisymmetric flow

In this paper, the cell-centered finite volume method (CC-FVM) has been presented to simulate the axisymmetric radial flow toward a pumping well. The model is applied to the unstructured triangular grids which allows to simulate inhomogeneous and complex-shaped domains. Due to the non-orthogonality of the irregular grids, the multipoint flux approximation (MPFA) methods are used to discretize t...

Analytical and Numerical Solutions for Torsional Flow between Coaxial Discs with Heat Transfer

We consider non-isothermal torsional flow between two coaxial parallel plates with heat transfer at the upper rotating plate, constant temperature on the lower stationary plate, and no heat loss at the fluid-air interface. Viscous heating is modelled by a Nahme law with exponential dependence on temperature. Due to the highly nonlinear nature of the governing equations an exact solution is not ...

Development of an Upwind Algorithm at Subsonic Regions in the Solution of PNS Equations

In this paper an upwind algorithm based on Roe’s scheme is presented for solution of PNS equations. Non iterative-implicit method using finite volume technique is used. The main advantage of this approach, in comparison with similar upwind methods, is reduction of oscillations around sonic line. This advantage causes the present method to be able to analyze supersonic flows with free stream Mac...

Numerical Simulation of Non-Newtonian Inelastic Flows in Channel based on Artificial Compressibility Method

In this study, inelastic constitutive modelling is considered for the simulation of shear-thinning fluids through a circular channel. Numerical solutions are presented for power-law inelastic model, considering axisymmetric Poiseuille flow through a channel. The numerical simulation of such fluid is performed by using the Galerkin finite element approach based on artificial compression method (...
