The modeling of fresh concrete flow is still very challenging. Nevertheless, it highest relevance to simulate these industrially important materials with sufficient accuracy. Often, assumed show a Bingham-behavior. In numerical simulations, regularization must be used prevent singularities. Two different models, namely the 1) Bi-viscous, and 2) Bingham-Papanastasiou are investigated. Those mode...

The increasing imperviousness of urban areas reduces the infiltration and evapotranspiration capacity of urban catchments and results in increased runoff. In the last few decades, several solutions and techniques have been proposed to prevent such impacts by restoring the hydrological cycle. A limiting factor in spreading the use of such systems is the lack of proper modelling tools for design,...

The flow fields around single and two combinations of star shape artificial reefs are investigated both numerically and experimentally. The numerical model is based on the Reynolds Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations embedded with a RNG k-ε turbulence model and SIMPEC algorithm. The governing equations are solved by using finite volume method (FVM). Non-invasive particle image velocimetry flow field...

Abstract—In this work, numerical simulations were carried out using a specific CFD code in order to study the performance of an innovative Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger (SSHE) with helical ribbons for Bingham fluids (threshold fluids). The resolution of threedimensional form of the conservation equations (continuity, momentum and energy equations) was carried out basing on the finite volume me...

To compute accurately radiative transfer in anisotropicallyscattering media, conservation of both scattered energy and angle after discretization is required. Alteration of asymmetry factor (i.e., average cosine of scattering angles) due to angular discretization leads to a third type of numerical error, named as angular false scattering. The error that was known as “false scattering” is actual...

A three-dimensional numerical study of a single droplet splashing vertically on liquid film is presented. The method based the finite volume (FVM) Navier–Stokes equations coupled with fluid (VOF) method, and adaptive local mesh refinement technology adopted. It enables liquid–gas interface to be tracked more accurately, less computationally expensive. relationship between diameter free rim, hei...

Convective heat transfer and friction factor properties for periodic undulating channels are numerically investigated. The finite volume method (FVM) was used in the numerical study. Three different Reynolds averaged simulation (RANS) based turbulence models, shear stress transport SST k-ω transition model were compared with each other. Two used; first geometry is a sharp corrugated channel 30°...

In this paper a multi-disciplinary simulation of a capacitive droplet sensor based on an open plate capacitor as transducing element is presented. The numerical simulations are based on the finite volume method (FVM), including calculations of an electric field which changes according to the presence of a liquid droplet. The volume of fluid (VOF) method is applied for the simulation of the ejec...

We derive a novel finite volume method for the elliptic equation, using the framework of mixed finite element methods to discretize the pressure and velocities on two different grids (covolumes), triangular (tetrahedral) mesh and control volume mesh. The new discretization is defined for tensor diffusion coefficient and well suited for heterogeneous media. When the control volumes are created b...
