The numerical simulation of the crack welding process is reported in this paper. The thermo-electro-structural coupled-field finite element analysis is adopted to investigate the welding process of crack surfaces. In the simulation, the pressure-dependent and temperature-dependent electrical contact conditions are considered. From the results, the crack surfaces can melt and weld together under...

magnetohydrodynamic (mhd) mixed convection flow of cu–water nanofluid inside a two-sided lid-driven square enclosure with adiabatic horizontal walls and differentially heated sidewalls has been investigated numerically. the effects of moving lids direction, variations of richardson number, hartmann number, and volume fraction of nanoparticles on flow and temperature fields have been studied. th...

The results of detailed numerical simulation of the flow in an injector including electrohydrodynamic interaction in sharply inhomogeneous electric field formed by electrode system closed to the needle-plane type are presented. The aim of the simulation is to estimate the charge rate flow at the fuel injector outlet. The results were obtained using the open-source package OpenFOAM in which the ...

objective: in this article, a numerical study is conducted on mixing of two fluids in the liquid phase with two different concentrations of a chemical species in the electro-osmotic flow. methods: the base liquid is an electrolyte which flows in a two-dimensional micro-channel having electrically charged walls. lorentz electric force, which is used as stimulating flow factor, is created by appl...

The effects of an external electric field on a turbulent methane/air diffusion flame are analyzed in this work using direct numerical simulations. configuration consists temporally evolving mixing layer air and mixture methane nitrogen at 1 atm that is impinged by the direction normal to mean plane. combustion chemi-ionization reactions involved flow modeled finite-rate chemistry reduced reacti...

In this paper, we proposed a 2-D analytical model for electrical characteristics such as surface potential, electric field and drain current of Silicon-on-Insulator Tunnel Field Effect Transistor (SOI TFETs) with a SiO2/High-k stacked gate-oxide structure. By using superposition principle with suitable boundary conditions, the Poisson’s equation has been solved to model the channel r...

in this paper, load and buckling mode of a smart column are presented. the theoretical model is a three-layer piezoelectric composite beam that behaves as an axial actuating mechanism. this actuator consists of an elastic core sandwiched between two piezoelectric active outer layers. the piezoelectric layers are polarized transversely, i.e., the polarization vector is parallel to the applied el...
