Fluid Dynamics: The Navier-Stokes Equations

Investigation of instable fluid velocity in pipes with internal nanofluid flow based on Navier-Stokes equations

In this article, the instable fluid velocity in the pipes with internal nanofluid is studied. The fluid is mixed by SiO2, AL2O3, CuO and TiO2 nanoparticles in which the equivalent characteristic of nanofluid is calculated by rule of mixture. The force induced by the nanofluid is assumed in radial direction and is obtained by Navier-Stokes equation considering viscosity of nanofluid. The displac...

A new discrete velocity method for Navier–Stokes equations

The relation between the Lattice Boltzmann Method, which has recently become popular, and the Kinetic Schemes, which are routinely used in Computational Fluid Dynamics, is explored. A new discrete velocity model for the numerical solution of Navier–Stokes equations for incompressible fluid flow is presented by combining both the approaches. The new scheme can be interpreted as a pseudo-compress...

Optimization with the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations as constraints

In this paper, optimal distributed control of the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations is considered. The control problem involves the minimization of a measure of the distance between the velocity field and a given target velocity field. A mixed numerical method involving a quasi-Newton algorithm, a novel calculation of the gradients and an inhomogeneous Navier-Stokes solver, to find the opt...

Lattice Boltzmann Model for the Incompressible NavierStokes Equation

In the last decade or so, the lattice Boltzmann (LB) method has emerged as a new and effective numerical technique of computational fluid dynamics (CFD).(1-5) Modeling of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation is among many of its wide applications. Indeed, the lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) was first proposed to simulate the incompressible NavierStokes equations.(1) The incompressible Nav...
